An old friend came back home to Indiana for a visit with his folks. I had no idea he was in town, but he found my phone # and called a couple of hours ago.
(Sounds like I need to change my number and be a little more careful in the future)
Anyway, he is welcome here, although he is not here to visit me. I still invited him to my new home.
He has lived in Costa Rica for about ten years and kept me going with fresh Costa Rican coffee for ages after he moved there.
I know I have mentioned this guy. He always built me a special miniature shipping crate to ship a couple pounds of coffee my way, but mainly to show off how his woodworking prowess was progressing.
Finger jointed boxes with sliding lids. DAMN!! He's a craftsman! He builds buildings, so most of that is not used for him daily.
I showed off my newish set up with the Lii Audio F15s and the Lii W15s in an H Frame open baffle enclosure, new (to him) Decware mono SET Zens in my new sound room. Talked a lot about the acoustical treatments I utilize and lots of whyfore and how to.
Then I had to display my new mono stack in the garage. My Mono Stack!!
Anyway, we had a great little short visit and I got to meet his beautiful wife. She has only been in Costa Rica her whole life and except for a few short trips with him to neighboring countries, she has never seen ANYTHING outside her village.
She was most amazed that everywhere you look, you can buy a car. Cars for sale everywhere!
Apparently cars are hard to come by in coastal Costa Rica?
I wished them the best and they were on their way in a bit over an hour. Short visit!!
But, he has an ailing parent and that is the reason he came back home. That part won't go well.
He is most likely here for a funeral.
