:confused: :rolleyes:

That girl ain't Asian son... :cool:

You'll have to stop by Taipei. There may be a few that will catch your eye. I love going back to Taipei for the eye candy, sadly all I can do is look. Still, everyone needs a hobby.

I'm moving to Tapei, then... I'm jealous, Travis! and I'm also single... :thumbsup:

Ha, I ALMOST stopped in there today for lunch - but I can't affort a $10 sub right now. :(

Well, since my thread is titled "Monthly Movie Nights at the Frey Theater," I guess I should report on my first Monthly Movie Night for the 2011/2012 season - had 4 guests come over tonight to see "Unknown" and everyone thought it was a great movie... I'll be showing it Saturday night too, have 3 people coming so far to that showing... :)

Went to Best Buy over lunch today and bought 4 new $9.99 blu-rays - I specifically choose ones that had HD audio, as some of the older titles only had DTS audio. Titles I picked up for $9.99:

Minority Report
Top Gun
Lost in Space
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

The first 2 I own & have great audio, especially the 6.1 DTS-HD MA of "TOP GUN". Let us know how the PQ/AQ are for the other 2 you snagged. Lol - I "own" LEAGUE OF..., but haven't watched it yet. :o :p

Haha, I have a "copy" on DVD in my collection, and I have never watched it either... :cool:

Hi Troy, just a short visit from HTG. I like your priorities...you can not afford a 9.99 sub but you got cash for four 9.99 BDs. You can trademark that and call it the Troy Diet Plan. (TDP) :rock:

9.99 Sub?!?! :confused: :eek: :ohnoes:

:rolleyes:

:p

LOL! ya caught me! Sorry, I broke down... ;)

Yes Aero, $9.99 for the SMALL 8" sub. The large 12" sub is $12.99... :eek: It's at a real Italian Deli, so they charge deli prices - but the subs are awesome! their "Silencer Sauce" is homemade right there from Habaneros and imported Jalokia Ghost peppers, SUPER hot! :rock::rock: Dry coppa, sopressata, prosciutto, spanish chorizo, sicilian salami, provolone & fresh mozzarella w/ sliced japelenos and the silencer...


Here's the $9.99 8" Il Diablo, with Silencer Sauce installed:

Well there is a nice place inside the hotel called Red's deli that is open 24 hours, so at lunch I walked over to the hotel from the convention center and I had a 8" sub and a gatorade and it cost 11.93. And what's the killer is my company does not reimburse us for lunches. :( I'm 300+ miles from home and I guess they expect us to pack 10 lunches for the 10 days I am away from my home. :shrug:

The HTG speaketh the truth!:whip:

That sucks you can't expense lunch.

Damn Frey. I'm getting hungry now.:shakefist:

:sick: :panic: :sick: :panic:

:o

Have a great one Troy!

Having a good weekend?

Well, just got home from a picnic at a friends house about an hours drive away, they live in the mountains on 9 acres of woods north of Harrisburg, with their house, a lean-to with a huge 8-foot diameter fire ring and cut-log benches, a covered picnic pavilion, barn, pond, and a recreation area, all connected with gravel pathways they travel around on a golf cart to get to. We had a big fire going at the lean-to, drinking beer and smoking cigars, and all kinds of food up at the picnic pavilion - Hot sausage, sausage patties, sliced pork loin, hamburgers and hotdogs. They have a huge charcoal grill they made from a 250 gallon oil tank, cut in half and hinged, and laid on its side on angle-iron legs - you could cook a whole side of beef on that thing, lol!

Now that's a rockin' Sunday.:rock: Sounds fantastic. However you know the rules,

LOL, OK, Wabo, if you insist - I didn't take any pics at the picnic yesterday, because my camera just recently developed a problem with a small hair inside the lens, and I'm going to have to try to get it replaced under warranty... :(

But, I do have some low-quality photos I took back in 2003, so you get an idea of the place - their house, salt-lick and corn for the deer, pond with the big bridge I helped build, the lean-to with a much smaller fire ring than they have now, their picnic pavilion with the huge oil tank grill, and their swing set in the recreation area...plus, a bonus shot of me riding in the golf cart, lol... :D

That place looks idyllic. I love the little bridge over the brook. Lol. That grill is bigger than the cook.:D

P.S. Happy Labor Day!

Haha, you could cook the cook on that thing...! :D


Oops, just noticed I missed the lean-to photo, fixed. That's my ex and my two girls, when they were much younger.

Nice place!:rock: Love everything surrounding the house: pond, brook, grill, camp fire, etc. Looks like a great place to relax.

I most certainly did! Ooo, and I smoked a nice $8 Acid Kuba Kuba cigar sitting by the campfire (yes, I'm going to have to skip going out for some of my lunches this week, wabo!), I took two Acids along with me, my favorite... also my trusty bottle of tequila... :thumbsup:

:eek: :yikes: :jawdrop: :panic:

You brought along "Acid" ??!! WTF :confused: :ohnoes:

That GRILL/TUB thing is freakin' Massive - Hell, you could cook TWO pigs on it! Nice place.:whip: :rock:

After tequila and acid I wouldn't be going out for lunch either.:rock:

"Dum dum, duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh..." :rock: :rock: :D

Love that song!:rock:

Nice vid, never seen it. Only seen the drum solo that is on the DVD, http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Rock-D...5284327&sr=1-3 They need to make a part II.

Nice place there Troy....very nice indeed. Your kids look so young...hard to imagine them so little considering what they are up to now isn't it? By the way.....nice 'stache! :)

Haha, yeah, I had the moustache the entire 21 years we were married - my wife wouldn't let me shave it off. I did shave it one time, and she practically beat me up over it, so I had to grow it back right away... as soon as we got divorced, the 'stache came off. :D

Yes, I was thinking the same thing about my kids being so young looking in that photo, it wasn't that long ago...they change so quick! :(

Disaster! Well, the rains have come down, and down, and down... unfortunately, I am getting water seepage in my theater room, the front half of the black carpet is saturated, don't know how far back into the room it will be wet by the time I wake up tomorrow morning... the basement is gonna be a mess before this is all over... :cry:

Guess I won't be going in to work tomorrow, I'll be working the shop vac all day, most likely. looks like maybe a halt to the movie nights for awhile... :(

That sucks! Hope nothing gets ruined.

SO, a total disaster in the Frey Theater... I woke up this morning and found the entire basement and theater is flooded with almost an inch of water, all the wall to wall carpeting is submerged. It is still raining outside - we got 10" of rain yesterday, not counting last nights rain, and we're supposed to get more rain the next few days.. it's pouring outside right now. Thank goodness I put a lot of stuff up off the floor last night, but I have a 5x15' walk-in closet and another closet under the stairs in the basement, full of boxes stacked up from when I moved 5 years ago, all the stuff in the boxes on the bottom will be wet. My old sets of vintage Large Advent Speakers are in the closet under the stairs, I guess they'll be destroyed. :cry:

Fortunately, all my theater equipment and furniture should be OK, most everything is up off the floor or on wheels or rubber feet, so that's good. Except my Dual 18" subwoofer, it is sitting directly on the floor.

Flood waters in Manheim, no one can get out of town, I won't be going to work for a couple days, most likely. Not much I can do right now, it's still raining and the water is still seeping in - I may as well go back to bed to get some sleep, I only got 3 hours of sleep overnight. I'm sitting at my computer here in the basement, with my bare feet submerged in the water... :(

Wow Troy.......that is crazy. As you know, York County was a complete disaster yesterday. We had people at work leaving early, and so many freakin' raods closed at one time, you could not get home even if you wanted to. Luckily the rain let up a bit at about 4PM here in York, and the road conditions improved enough that I actually got home just fine when I left at 5 PM.

So, this isn't the first time this has happened with water in the basement if I remember right. I assume this is actually worse from what you say. If so, what are you going to do next.....tear out the carpet for good or perhaps look into a sump pump?

I know this is a silly request, but seeing a pic of your feet within your HT submerged in water would be an odd sight for sure! ;)

That is terrible! Using a computer while sitting in water.... http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292867589

Wow Troy that really sucks. It's good that the HT equipment for the most part is OK. And also that you are OK. Were the 18" subs badly damaged? You guys are just getting hammered this year. I wish you the best of luck and all of our other BD PA friends.

Troy, sorry to hear that. I hope you get something figured out.

Well, it's a lost cause trying to sweep out any water right now, because it is still flowing in... fortunately I have a french drain in the floor of the under-the-house garage, I'm not sure if it is hooked into the sewer system or not, but a lot of the water coming in is running out into the garage and down the drain - as long as the drain keeps flowing, I shouldn't get more than the current inch of water in my basement now.

The rains have stopped - for now... It's slowly moving out, but we're still supposed to get more rain on and off over the next 4 days...

Holy rain water, Frey. Man, that really sucks. Good to hear you were able to save most of your HT gear. At least you don't have to go into work for a few days. I'm a glass is half full kind of guy.
