    The 32” hi def flat screen I got back in 01-02 was absolutely stunning. Loved that tv except it was so darn heavy.

    People nowadays can't lift that weight. TV makers easily saw it coming a long time ago.

    Evolution devolving again.

    I do agree, the Sony Trinitrons made for nice lookin' tellys.

    Long lasting too. Mom used her 32" without any issues from the 80s until a couple of years ago!

    Pretty sure ours is an '84 model (hand me down from my parents, long, long ago). We don't do much in the way of TV watching (perhaps needless to say).

    Someone left this at my door while I was out briefly this evening. LOL
    It's only 6/10 box and vinyl, but I appreciate the gesture. :-)
    Maybe they'd prefer to hear it over the CCR I had moderately cranked earlier today.

    Funny how I like the ones with a check mark a lot and also most of the RED highlighted ones also. ;)B)

    There's quite a few more I like that I would've highlighted for sure!

    Helped this one off the railroad tracks yesterday. Shell about 11 inches long. May have weighed 3 pounds.

    Finally, a moment of quiet without my three roommates bugging me. This will end in about 30 seconds when they get back up the hill... :/

    Frisbee opportunity time. ;)

    Looks like a nice field beside the river for a picnic.

    What is in the clump of trees at the end of that path your other fine 3 went to visit?

    @joecoulson - Here's one for your daughter. Smart, loving, and large (over 16 lbs at one time. I know that's not a record. I've seen a 36-pounder in person. But this one wanted to be ON someone at least two hours a day.)
