Happy Sunday Evening All...

Quite the lineup tonight, strong classics and interesting new shows...Escape making an early appearance(kind of out of place)...don’t remember The Marriage and The Adventures of Father Brown but looking forward to them...and ending with Jack Benny!

How’s it going?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision. Are you a father? I can’t remember if we wish you a happy Father’s Day or not.

[Vision]

Hi Gina, no. Unfortunately I don't even want a second date with the women I meet. You all good?

[WXRGina]

Oh, okay. :-) Yeah, we’re fine. It’s just like a steam bath here, so hot and muggy, after that low pressure system moved through Friday night into Saturday morning. It was close to a tropical storm. We got over 5 inches of rain at our house and a messy yard from the the wind.

[Vision]

5 inches? Wow.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks. Y’all stay dry out there.

[WXRGina]

Hi, Viking! Happy Father’s Day!

[Vision]

Hey, how’s it with you?

[Viking2002]

Thanks, Gina! (Absentee step-father that I am......*chuckle*) IIRC, I mentioned that the 46" flatscreen over the living room mantle finally gave up the ghost. Well, the missus went with her daughter to Sam's Club last week, and got the only 58" 4k screen they had left in stock. We'll probably mount it Tuesday, we just need the universal bracket off the old one first. It's still in the box and is currently propped up against the fireplace hearth, and as big as I thought the old one was, now that one just seems so......inadequate in comparison. LOL The best part of this new one is, it's a JVC (good brand), and she got it for $399! 58" is as big as we can wall mount, methinks, because of the built-in bookcases on either side; they run floor to ceiling. Now I'm thinking we really 'need' (*ahem*) a good 5.1 home theater sound system to go with it. To kinda enhance the experience. *wink* *wink*

[WXRGina]

Sounds excellent!
