I too am enjoying this discussion. I hope others are too.

Yesterday wasn't anything like a day off. My 85 year old mom's furnace was found to be dying. She gets about $1,000 a month between Social Security and her pension. $3,000 - $4,000 for a furnace. Spent a couple hours looking for a deal and a government program that helps people in her circumstances. She has never driven a car. It was my turn to go to the store for her. Marta and I had lunch at Olive Garden. That was the only real down time.

From there we went to Ne. Mega Mart and picked up our new home theater sound system: http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=TX-SR607&class=Receiver&p=i
Some unexpected hook up glitches extended our set up time. The cable-DVR box doesn't have HDMI. Called the cable company. All HDMI DVRs are on back order. It will be a week. So all the wires I pulled out had to be reconnected. Couldn't get sound from the PS3. Then we lost the TV picture. You get the idea. By the time everything was close to working it was bed time.

Today we have shopping after finishing with the sound system. We would like to watch a film with our new high def sound system. Football starts at 3 with the SEC title game. The BIGGer game for me is NU-Texas at 7.

I'll have a couple posts on the DU today and that is about it. I'm out of time. I will be back soon. :-)
