Checked the old thread (Blazing Ridge Cinema) this AM, it hit one MILLION views biggrin.gif over the last week or so. Amazing. It only took like seven years tongue.gif . Still don't know why it was so popular. And now I don't even have a theater (yet). Sandman's thread continues to amaze me.

Why is it that I'm getting targeted on this forum for L'OREAL hair color ads? Don't they know I'm stuck with this "pink" color? biggrin.gif

We understand that you've been shopping for hair color in other tabs while you browse the forums...

A HA!! I made this post and got pummeled, so you've been warned, Bud!

Now, all I get are cool ads with sportscars, weapons, vacation destinations with hot bikini-clad women and . . . .uh . . . ah, forget it ... I'm seeing the same hair color ads from L'Oreal and Maybelline. :-(

EDIT: This morning it was Lilly chocolates and learning about current successful celebrities who were once on the food stamp program - huh?

Been out of town the last two weeks or so. Had some vacation and maintenance time planned at our cabin in the North GA mountains, but it turned into more work than anything. Between not having any water initially, to snow delaying workers, to the windows not getting installed, to a failed and leaky water pump, it was an adventure. After all that I ended up go to DC (Gaylord National) for a conference and was sick as a dog. I ended up turning around and coming home and crawling into bed for two days. Heading into work this morning after about being two weeks behind. Looking forward to that.

Hopefully I'll be doing SOME work in the basement this weekend, but not 100% back yet.

All quiet on the western front. Been out of town and will be in and out the next three weeks or so. Did gets some wire ordered and delivered, but have not been able to get in the basement the last couple of weekends.

Anyone had knee replacement surgery? I'm at that point where I have to make a decision. Not an immediate rush, but have cortisone shots in both knees every three months (he said they last 3-6 months, I get about 2.5 out of them). The right knee is shot, the left is bad, but seems to be tolerable with shots. I'm thinking about doing it in the fall - hoping to at least get through the drywall stage. smile.gif Would be nice to have theater done so I can rehab in it, but its downstairs and I'm a ways off. smile.gif

My Grandmother had knee replacement surgery with awesome results.

After she had it done and it healed she told me that she wish she would have had it done a LONG time ago...

That's my only second hand experience with it. Wish you the best man.

Thank you sir.

That's the problem - I don't know anyone my age (a mere 49) that's done it. I've heard alot about the older folks. I really don't want to wait until I'm 70 to do it and suffer for the next 20 years, but supposedly they're only good for 20 years, which means I may have to do it twice - or go to Auto Nation for replacement parts. smile.gif The shots are great, but only work two thirds of the time. I'm thinking about doing it this fall. Maybe. I'll have to do a bunch of planning ahead to make sure I can do it.

Bud,

Had a friend have both knees replaced in his mid 40's. He is doing fine on them and is now 59.

Thanks Bob. That's encouraging. I expect the technology has changed quite a bit since then. I know they were only good for 15 years or so back then, Now they're good for almost twice that I think. The wife and I are trying to do some planning and I'm now committed to doing it,its just a matter of when is the best time (never a good time).Could be as early as mid - June. Don't know yet.

I think It's need some additional parts besides the knee for that to happen, Tom. smile.gif

Might as well get both of them done at the same time... Don't want the upgraditus bug to strike!

Good Morning Bud
Just caught your home theater post on AVS.
Have built mine and still looking for ways to improve.
I live in Lenoir City - how close do you live to LC.

Hey Bud
Just watched your video of your home theater. It looks GREAT. Maybe we could visit and get some ideas from each other. Am busy with an art show this weekend, but maybe sometime after that we could get together and see each others home theaters. My number is 986 1981. I'm retired from the post office, so am free just about any time.
Have a good weekend.
Wayne

Wayne,

FYI. I personally wouldn't throw all of my information out there for the public to see. I mean, it's totally your prerogative, but I personally would do that via PM. Bud's marathon builds tend to get A LOT of traffic of which anyone (AVS member or not) has access too. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Agreed, it took me all of about 5 seconds to get the correct area code to the phone number, which in turn got me to an address. I am not going to dig any further, but it only took about 30 seconds total to get this information. Not something that really should be posted out in the open like that as there are a lot of untrustworthy people. Heck, if nothing else you can expect to get more spam emails at a minimum since the phone number wasn't posted with an area code.

Just be careful my friend and realize that we are only trying to help.
