Our kids all did double-takes when we told them we were finally breaking down and buying a flat-screen TV. And let me just say, here and now, that the only reason we did it is that the rec room TV was on its last legs.
Of course, you can't just buy a new TV. You have to buy a Blueray player so that you get the FULL impact of all that HD. And a bunch of new, expensive cables. And then a new stereo receiver because the old one doesn't have all the necessary inputs and outputs.
Hmmph.
So, two weeks later, we just about have all the kinks worked out. Except for channel 6, that inexplicably loses the stereo vocal sound when the show is on, but not the commercials. I'm hoping that when we have our Thanksgiving crowd over, one of the boys can figure it out.
Luckily, Jonnie loves to play around with wires.
He's also small enough to fit in the armoire.
Can't see Jeff in there, can you?
Thomy has very good fine motor skills and likes to put things together. Unlike his Dad, whose forte at that age was taking things apart. Thomy reconfigured the Dora hopscotch squares and he and Jeff had fun jumping on them while his Daddy was making up for past sins.
I think you need a couple more shots of my cute butt. You know that I already fixed the channel 6 problem, but maybe over Thanksgiving we can discuss the finer points of 5.1 surround sound.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Chris would join you in that conversation.
