Time to get the wall mount... Now since you've saved so much money on the TV and Blu Ray player, you have more money to spend on the sound system right? and car too!

A, I already have a Polk Audio/Technics home theater setup so I'm good to go there. Wall mounting probably doesn't work in my space, I'm better off to open up the current TV enclosure to allow the new panel to sit in it on a pedestal. We'll see.

I'll post pics when I get it...in a couple of months!

Speaking of the night skies, we watched the International Space Station pass over tonight. It's visible the next several nights, I think tomorrow around 9:00 MTN. Binos work well, but if you were ready and steady, you could follow it in a 'scope under low-ish magnification. I really hope you and K get out next summer!

LOL, we have been watching the Space Station also on a regular basis. It is a contest between Karen and I who sees it first (it is usually her)
If anyone else wants to watch the Space Station go to this link and put in your location: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html .
It is quite awesome to watch. I could not follow it with the scope but with the naked eye or the binos we can see it quite easily. Love it

I'm sure our Cross-Canada Cruise plans will work for next year Wayne.
