    Anyone using a High Def TV as a computer monitor?

    Well, I guess there isn't much interest around here in 43" monitors, but since I took the plunge and bought a 43" 4K TV to give it a try, thought I would at least post some of my impressions. I ended up buying a LG 43UN7300AUD 4K TV from Costco ($309). Used my new Costco credit card (Citi...

    Anyone using a High Def TV as a computer monitor?

    I've been considering buying a 40" or maybe 43" TV to use as a computer monitor, but am not sure how well it would work for use as a main computer monitor for work-from-home 8 hours/day. Does anyone have first-hand experience doing this? I see that the price of a 43" 4K high-resolution TV at...

    Any recommendations for BBQ Grill Covers? (that can take full sun)

    As the original poster, I'm happy to report that my grill cover from National Patio Covers has survived it's first Phoenix summer. And what a summer it was! We set new records for most days over 100F (145) and most days over 110F (53, shattering the old record of 33). The cover started to fade...

    What were your first set of headphones, and let's hear the story behind them.

    My first set of headphones were by Murata (Korean) and were purchased sometime in the late 60's. I still have them, and they still sound OK after all these years. The reason I got them was to play drums along with the new stereo system my mom finally agreed to buy for me. Prior to that, my...

    Our dog has enlarged spleen - surgery in a few days

    Update: Cubbie had surgery last Monday and is so far doing great, but we're not out of the woods yet. The surgeon reported seeing several masses on his spleen, which may or may not be cancer. They also took out a small piece of his liver for biopsy, as it's common for cancer to find it's way...

    Dogs Rock, Post Yer Pooch!

    Found my favorite pic of Rocky as a puppy (about 10 weeks old). I love how he has the same pose as the stuffed toy! LOL

    Our dog has enlarged spleen - surgery in a few days

    We found out yesterday that our little buddy (Cubbie) has an enlarged spleen. He wasn't eating much and had lost weight over the last few weeks (went from 12lbs to 10lbs), so we took him to the vet. Turned out his spleen was about 3X normal size. Vet suspected lymphoma, but small sample taken...

    Dogs Rock, Post Yer Pooch!

    Here's Rocky (front) and Cubbie (my wife's a Cubs fan). Rocky is 15 years old, Cubbie is 8. I'll have to dig up pics of them as puppies … their coloring was quite a bit different.

    Three Dog Night

    I was looking through a pile of CD's the other day that I had collected from various thrift stores when I came across a TDN greatest hits CD and thought I would give it spin. Forgot how many good songs they had. :-) Funny story … I went to Laughlin Nevada ("little Vegas") one weekend with my...

    Drummers ... your favorite "easy, but fun" songs to play?

    I didn't mean to imply that it was easy to duplicate the efforts of professional drummers, but many songs are easy enough to play along with that even a beginning-intermediate drummer can sound pretty good. For me, the main thing was having fun playing. (BTW, I've only ever played "for fun")...
