I like rush. I'm not a die hard fan but any time Tom Sawyer comes on I turn up the radio

I love their album "Moving Pictures" and by love I'd rate it a 10 out of 10.
Their other albums, I might like 3 songs out of everything else.
So Moving pictures + 3 songs or so are amazing, the rest is awful.

Recently discovered Spotify. Yes, I'm a late bloomer, I know, but I just signed up for their premium service.
Will be cancelling SiriusXM and my free Pandora app won't get much use going forward. I only pay $5 a month for XM, so technically, I'll see a $5 increase in monthly cost (total of $10 a month) for a service that is much more expansive and inclusive, and it allows total control of which music I want to play and when.
I'm sold.

How is the sound quality?
Listening to music on XM is like shaving with a cheese grater.
Pandora is fairly ****ty as well, but is much easier to listen to then XM. XM was like nails on a chalkboard for some reason.

Pandora is 192 kbps and Spotify is 320 kbps (for paid premium sub).
It's definitely better, although I've not been able to appreciate it yet, as I can't locate my nice earbuds.
EDIT: I have noticed that XM's sound quality varies. Most of the time it's crappy but there were a few occasions when I turned it up and noticed that it seemed to sound better than usual. Not sure if it was just me or what...

Yeah, this was a huge deciding factor for me as well. I've started creating my playlists and saving them to the device. Granted, I know that I don't get the 'keep' the music as I've not bought it, but it's awesome to have access to 20 million titles and listen to any given one when I please.
It's basically Pandora integrated with iTunes. It lets you have access to the library and you can also have a 'radio' much like Pandora, that you can stream and help you discover new artists.

It sounds good through my 3mm in the crappy STi stereo, it also sounds great through my Bose bluetooth speaker.
As long as you pay the fee you get to keep them on hand.

I'm definitely not discussing my portfolio publicly. :-D
You can have your real estate. I am not looking at spending my evenings working on a baby's room in an old house. I'll go ride my MTB or hike instead. Surely a far more exciting time as opposed to filtering out farts through your respirator.

Speaking of that.
Can't wait until I leave the office today. Going to grab the dog and head to the lake. The temps are staying low (low 80s) and the trails are drenched since yestrday's rain.
The wet trails are good and bad.
Good - I'm going to go for a nice hike today after work, as the trails will be empty of riders (closed to riding due to wetness but open to hiking)
Bad - I wanted to flippin ride this weekend...

Realestate doesn't just mean a house.
Investing means your money makes you more money.
Spending it on a MTB means burning it.

Na,
I decided to expand from the house bit.
I can't keep busting chops about the guns because you're the only "gun nut" I know that actually has good responses and doesn't turn to childish insults.

This is an awesome summer in KCMO...it's mid July and not hot. Last year it was boiling all summer and dry. ... Now I know hot days are ahead...but I'll take what I can get. There's nothing better than opening your windows on a cool July morning, and running your attic fan when it's in the 60's!
However, I'm a weather watcher...and I strongly suspect that this cooler summer is just a continuation of the "polar vortexes" we kept getting...and if it continues..it'll be another frigid winter.

I tell ya, I'm not even close to a gun nut.
There's a forum that is well-respected and very populous, which is centered around all things firearms-related. I read it occasionally.
Man, there are a few major tin-foil types on there. Some of the statements are not only ignorant, uneducated, conspiratorial in nature, but downright extremist.
