Paintball and Lay Offs

A while back my hubby was talking about paintball and opening a field here with his brother. He wanted to look at different equipment like a paintball sniper, tanks and masks. His idea was to use the income tax return to get started. He even went as far as scouting for the land. But, then his talk stopped and he was back to just talking about work.

So I really wonder if he would have ever gone through with his plans. I still wonder, so maybe? But, now that there's talk of lay offs at work, I wonder if he'll try something new or if we'll have the money to really do something like that.

Right now I don't think owning a paintball field would be a good idea because sales wouldn't be very good. People love entertainment, but when it costs money and there's very little of that, it doesn't work out. Still there's nothing wrong with playing even if that means buying new paintball equipment.

It's still too early to know, but my hubby is still at risk for a lay off. He and his dad were discussing it last night and the earliest he'll know anything is this week or next.

Working on My Back

Lately my back has been in serious pain. To try and help the problem I started doing yoga, but after a while I slowed down because I get easily bored with the same workout routine over and over. That's why I wouldn't mind a gym membership so I can workout on different equipment. Or maybe investing in some home equipment like an elliptical.

However, right now we simply can't afford a gym membership or any kind of extreme workout equipment, so I'll continue to look for different exercises for my back. A twitter mom suggest doing some form of pilates so I was thinking of looking into that.

Fiber Cables for Musicians?

Today while visiting a friend, I noticed he had some kick ass recording equipment. Now while I am not a big fan of all of the technical mumble jumble, I am willing to bet that a fiber cable, like the ones found at Black Box, are right up his alley.

Maybe those cables are not exactly what he needs for his musical equipment.... But I can certainly bet, it wouldn't be hard for him to find a great way to incorporate something from Black Box into his musical studio. What do you think? I'm not really familiar with fiber cables. Does anyone have a great use/idea for these?
