115 degrees here today and the box that came out of the Fed Ex truck was hot to the touch. Very hot. Blast, I mumbled, why can't these trucks be air conditioned?
Arming myself with a couple shop rags, one each stuffed in my front pant pockets, I opened the box top and carefully removed the holy grail. I did so at arms lenght to avoid the expected goo spill, much in the manner like a new father would at his first diaper changing.
Being a believer in the lost art of recycling, I quickly positioned the plastic wrapped black jewel over my oil drip pan thinking, what the hay, I can use the slippery solution for my next Ford oil change. That or to cook my taco shells in tonight.
But Alas! To my shock and chagrin there was nary a drop to be found. No droplets, no residue, no smeared glass. Just a smaller than expected peice of modern artwork for the home theater.
Black is indeed beautiful, especially when it's anodized. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif
A glorious moment to be sure, and now into the evening for the first look.........
