Thanks MM! Our Canadian Thanksgiving was actually last month, but I had a nice day then, if memory recalls. . It's going to be a low-key kind of day, which is fine as I had a busy week. My 2-channel room needs some lovin', so I'll be spinning some tunes during the day! I might even take the seal off of some LP's I've had sitting around. . I think I have about 20-25 still sealed LP's.

What are you up to today?

Part of it was due to not having the cash just yet, and the other part was that there simply wasn't anything that screamed out "I must have that!". My spending will come when I get my bonus payout in 3 weeks. Going to hold back some cash from that and wait for our traditional Boxing Day/Week sales!

Are you working today?

No I have the full 4 day weekend. BTW what's a bonus payout? I don't get those.

Nice to hear you have a full 4-day weekend as well. Do enjoy it my friend!

We get a bonus twice a year, and they are paid in June and December. I basically schedule my upgrades for those payouts or pay some bills and stuff.

I sure could use one right now...with the vet bills and other end of year bills. If I tought I had any luck at all I would play the powerball game today. It currently sits at 325 million.

Holy moly! $325 super big ones?

I bought a ticket last night for our Lotto Max at $50 Mil......it was a group thing and I surely would have heard if we had won something.....Oh well.....

Dude.............

Because of this hectic holiday schedule, I lost out on purchasing an SVS AS-EQ1

And the thing went for $355

Hi Russ!

I didn't know you looking at a sub. Too bad about the deal though, but something will come up down the road I'm sure.

How's things been with you otherwise?

No......... It's a subwoofer equalizer, that supports 2 subs and I'm really smarting because I missed it

Oops! Sorry to hear that buddy! If it's any consolation I keep missing out on some cartridges, but I'm not deterred........there's one out there with my name on it.

& since nobody won last night, it'll be upwards of $425 Million come Tuesday.

Might have to spring 2 bucks for a ticket this time around.

I have 2 sets of numbers on my ticket ($4 total). Sometimes (like NOW), when it's over $100-200M, I'll do 5 tix total. Not every time tho', as the odds are Still around 176,000,00: 1 that you'll win the Jackpot.

The chance of winning whether you spend 2 or 10 bucks is the same so I'll stick with just the one play.

Exactly, but, being realistic, the chances of winning Other prizes increase with a few more , albeit those are tough odds as well. 1 ticket, 5 or 20, it's easy fun, right?

Looks like Old Man Winter is starting to make its presence felt around here. The temperature has dropped significantly and there is some light snow in the forecast. Time to bring out the heavy coats and sweaters!

Good morning Mr DangeRuss

The search continues, but I have confidence that either a Platinum or Sonata will pop up soon...they usually do. I've also decided to throw the Ortofon Black into the mix, but I've rarely seen these come up. Telling sign as to how good they are? Hmmm..
