We bought it this weekend from Ontario Gas BBQ...it's a Broil King Sovereign XLS 90. We were originally thinking of getting a Weber, but this had all the options we wanted, including a rotisserie. Plus the price gave us a bigger bang for our buck. I will finish putting it together on the weekend, and can't wait to break it in with a nice steak dinner. 
Another toy I received just today was the Microphone I've been waiting to get for a long time. It's funny, I've been recommending it to people for about a year now, based on the sound alone, but haven't owned one myself until now. Being really into podcasts, I focus on the quality of the sound and try to find out what equipment is being used on the better produced shows. The Blue Snowball mic seems to keep popping up time and time again.So why did I wait so long? Well, it comes down to money. For those of you who have known me awhile, I used to spend money on electronic equipment like it was going out of style. I'd spend tens of thousands of dollars a year on computers, audio equipment and movies/music...truly spending beyond my means. Well, I had the means...I was making a fantastic salary, but I wasn't keeping a safety net afloat. My 20's was a decade of feeling immortal...I bought myself, my friends and my family lavish gifts and felt like it would never end. Well, it did. The dot-com bubble burst, jobs became scarce and my arrogance faced a very ugly reality. It took a long time to recover financially from this.
Now these days I not only put my wife and kids first when it comes to making financial decisions, I will also think a LONG time about buying anything for myself that isn't a houseware. Not a bad habit really.
So, now that I have the right tool for the job, I'm working on some project ideas for recording that should hopefully start appearing within the month.
And with that, I bid you Auf Wiedersehen.

I am Ryan "Energizer" Ehmann, owner of Altitude Fitness and I’ve been out of shape several times in my life, so beat down – tens of thousands of dollars in debt, depressed and my self-esteem so crushed that I was afraid to go out in public. I turned to the fitness industry as the vehicle to heal my mind and body, and that’s when my dreams began to become a reality. The power of a proven fitness program is life changing so just imagine how much more you could give to your family, career and friends if you were on top of your game?

My fat loss training system have taken me 28,882 hours and 10 years of personal training to Master it so years ago I quit working at Gold's Gym as the Fitness Manager and opened a small, private workout facility to educate people about foods, fitness and lifestyle. Altitude fitness is a fun family atmosphere that people come as they are in grey sweets, white T-shirts, no make-up and they are accepted as a team member who want to learn and get in shape. No one is judged, it's not a fashion show and no matter your health or fitness shape you are a part of the Fat Loss Team working together.
