    I'm well on my way and I'll meat you there Doc.

    I almost had my version of an Mk 3.3 Romulan Cloaking Device working when my electromagnetic radiation shielding generator gave out on me. I just hate when that happens. Anyway, the local junk yard was fresh out of shielding generators...oh well, so much for trying to sneak 153 lbs in the house.:mad:

    The PB2-ISD arrived last night. Thanks to Dr. Spec, faster, and Mike for their help in making this decision. I still never got my cloaking device to work, so I wasn't able to sneak it past Mrs. Monkey :) . (Actually, she offered to help me carry it downstairs to the basement.) The PB2 is huge!!! Nothing like I imagined! Even though I carefully measured the corner where it now lives, you still don't get a good appreciation for the size (and weight) until you open the box. I was able to move the beast a down a stairwell (two flights of carpeted stairs with a u-shaped landing) by myself. You have to understand that we monkeyphants are half-primate and half-mammal so our long arms and brute strength come in real handy. To get it from the Family Room to the first step of the stairwell I used a towel and scooted it across the kitchen floor. Each step to the basement was a very careful progression to the next...no bouncing at all, more like slidding it, step-by-step. When I got to the last step, I heaved it and placed it very carefully on the towel on the basement floor and dragged it across the floor...I will hook it up this weekend after I recover...

    Sounds like a good plan, monkey. Can't wait to hear your impressions.

    Yep, they are much bigger in person. But after a while it will seem "just right", and everything else will be too small.

    The PB2-Ultra weighs 190 pounds! At least it doesn't move around at high volumes. We played U-571 dts at -10RL the other day and the sub didn't budge, and it's on a smooth laminate floor. Of course I looked like the guy in the old Maxell poster afterward.......
