    Finally got the grill out and the inner fender out of the way. It "only" took me a day and a half. 53 year old bolts can be stubborn. Hopefully I can now get to the other fasteners to remove the heater and start the A/C installation. For this year, I have given up keeping pace with Customwagon but I will be cool when he blows by. Good luck with the transmission, Mike.

      I got a 75" since I had a big wall to fill.

        Need more details!
        Is it a curved screen?
        Is it a 4k deal?
        Any split screen features?
        Did you also get a home theater sound system?

          Glad to hear that it is warming up there - what are you grilling?

              It's not a curved screen but it is 4k. I'm not sure about split screens yet since it hasn't been delivered yet. I assume it does but who knows. I didn't get a "home theatre" but I did get a nice 3 channel soundbar with a sub.

                Sounds VERY COOL! The split screen deal is nice - especially on such large sets. The down side I ran into was that mine (being an older 60" rear projection model) didn't have two digital tuners so when the cable companies all switched from analog to digital I lost that functionality completely. Other that than it has been an excellent investment - many hours of viewing pleasure.

                  we are limited to a 43" due to the curio corner hutch we have ours in.... but the 780 watt sony surround system makes up for it.... we also bought a "smart" 4k tv this time so we can watch youtube on it as well as listen to I-heart radio....

                            So isn't there some kind of folk lore about "that's 12 inches"?
