Come back home from a overnight hike in the mountains and find out Fort Lewis is experiencing a heat wave, good stuff.

Something else I love as much as the smell of fresh crisp money is turning on the car after refueling and watching the needle go from 1/4 mark the Full :-)

It's a Saturday night, what better way to spend it than working through the pile of digital negatives on the computer? Seriously though I need a new computer to do photo work on, this one is sadly lagging behind my potential work flow :P

First hand experience with the dramatic temp change between Ocean Shores and Tacoma, went from 64 on the coast to 82 once I got home. Only 84 miles apart yet a almost 20° difference.

"myPay was not able to locate a travel voucher for the last 90 days." Only I have been submitting one for over a month now DFAS! Yet everyday this is the message I see when checking on the status, reminds me of a famous raven from edgar allan poe :P

Hoping to get out to the park before the sun went below the Olympic Mountains for some decent sunset pics. -

Out for a little camp on the beach, just had to find a decent place with semi-packed sand and then got everything out and put up. -
Yeah I'm not afraid to say I'm particular in spot cleaning everything on it, got to keep it fresh looking! -
Brought up the clarity slider in Lightroom, though I should of worked on it in Photoshop to remove the big sun spot. Still a good picture. -
Thanks! The 20" rims seem to fit in nicely. -
Noticed it was reaching towards the 100° mark around Kentucky, man that must suck! It only got to 70 in Washington.

Here she is drying out a bit more after a wiping off the excess water off the body, wheels, and glass. -

It stopped raining long enough for me to wash the Edge down and put on a nice coating of rain replellant on the body and glass. -
Yes 20", sorry for not geting back with you sooner. If a notification was sent to my email I would of responded quicker. -
Got to the zoo with the family then took them over to Joseph Frizzell and Cassandra Frizzell family for dinner cookout. Pretty productive father's day.

Finished a little photo project this afternoon, hoping to get them printed off and framed tomorrow. It was good getting out there and playing with portraits again, been a long enough time since I got to do some.

After getting back and settled I went about getting these 20's on the Edge, here's a few pictures- Somethings I found interesting after the install- The TPMS didn't require a reset, the tires had the bands installed prior to shipping along with a reset tool. Regardless I'm keeping the reset tool in the glove box in case it ever comes on on the dashboard. The Edge took 20's with no issues, I was expecting some new road noise but it's a quite ride. The speedometer is still accurate. Still don't quite get this, but I tested it with a GPS tracking my speed and it matched perfectly with the Edge's own readings. That's it for now, I want to get some good video up at some point. That and more pics, but not for this thread since it's pretty much complete. Thanks again for the kind comments and guidance, really enjoying the new fuller look in the tirewells and overall style added to my Edge.

Been awhile, just wanted to post a update on the wheels. I went with the American Racing 20" wheel package, had them ordered last month and is waiting in the garage for me once I get home. Still got till June till I get back, once I get them on and everything looking nice expect another update with better pictures. Here's a couple pics my wife took. Granted she isn't to keen in getting the best angle, this is what she took after I emailed her to get a good front view of the wheel. http://imgur.com/a/wlbGO

Have to apologize if I'm not commenting as often as I would like too, but at least I keep checking in on this thread to see what the general opinion is for the two choices. Interesting enough it's looking like the general choice is for the American Racing wheel package. Like I mentioned earlier I'll post which one I purchase in May and get some pictures up in June once I get home and put them all on.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone, as it stands three people say go for the Lorenzo while four say the American Racing is the better choice. I still have time till I order them, about 2 months really. I'll make sure to keep checking the thread for any new feedback and let you all know which ones I ordered once May comes around. Thanks for the kind military comments, its been hard on the family with me going on deployments every other year, but hopefully there's going to be less of those if DoD keeps with its plan on Afghanistan.
