    I have a pretty good back ground in networking since I had to add it to my knowledge base back in 2004 and haven't stopped since. If the Audio Video industry doesn't keep paying my bill habits and what have you then I may turn to IT work. it would not take much for me to turn a Deep understanding of everything IT and anything home or professional Networking. Thats one thing that has been on my mind since all this madness has been going on.

    I want to go out and walk a mall, go to a Car show , attend a Concert , eat a meal with my wife at one of our favorite restaurants, Go on a nice vacation etc.

    I hear you on that. My son and I planned on redoing our garage with a new floor, repaint the place, hang up some cool Car decorations, new storage wall units etc.
    I'm not sure if that's going to happen this year let alone this spring. Really sucks

    Can you freeze and thaw real half/half?
    I've never tried. I have a couple gal 2% in freezer and it thaws without affecting quality.

    Pandemic or not, I could substitute TP if I had to, but the half/half....Igotstahabbit....

    I hope the Mrs doesn't see this :wink: , but I'm thinking about once my company reimburses me (with interest) on the 20% pay cut, I may just get a set of L800's ! :smile:

    When's the funeral again? Is it before or after the new garage is done?
