We’ve had the same accounting firm handle our taxes every year for the past 21 years. It’s a local small business who did our taxes for free as a wedding gift the year we got married and have done them every year since. Well worth the $125 each year.
So far, I have my copies of Aliens and The Abyss. True Lies should be delivered on Monday. However, because of reasons I outlined on HTF a year ago, my HT is completely dismantled and it may be months before I get a chance to spin up a disc to at least see the video quality, let alone that it...
Aliens was delivered today, as was my copy of Quigley Down Under 4K UHD that was also released today. Aliens was actually shipped from Amazon via UPS which was a first for me. Still showing the 21st and 25th for Abyss and True Lies.
Got off work and arrived at my hotel to find the water was out for this part of Houston. It came on about an hour later, about the time I was leaving to go eat dinner. While eating, the bartender tells me the restaurant is closing early tonight because the water is scheduled to be turned back...
Aliens has shipped from Amazon and should be delivered tomorrow. True Lies is scheduled for March 21 and The Abyss for March 25. It will probably be several months before I get a chance to watch them so I’m not too concerned.
EVs are a non-starter for me. I travel too much, often with little notice, taking care of customers who get more cross the longer their equipment is broken (for instance, I drove over 470 miles to Houston for work today) and am frequently in places where there are no charging stations so I’ll...
Every film I saw theatrically in the 80s was in a derelict Rialto that closed in 1987. I can’t remember any details about the presentation of the films I saw there, only that I saw them and enjoyed them.
I hate clothing shopping in general and will spend the absolute minimum time I have to in a store. I needed some new shirts for this summer so I found three polo shirts in the first 5 minutes I was there. The other hour and 55 minutes in that money trap was all her.
Welcome to HTF James! $1,000 for a 24 year old receiver is laughable. You’d be better off spending $500 on a Denon AVR-S760H that will outperform the Onkyo 989 in every conceivable way.
Wifey asked yesterday if there were any good movies playing for date night so I checked Fandango for what’s playing at the cineplex by our house. It was all hot garbage with the addition of tv shows. (I seriously don’t understand that.) So I got dragged out for almost two hours of shopping at...
Ouch. There wouldn’t be a compelling enough reason for me to dish $218 for a year those. I’ve had both and dropped them because they didn’t offer a value for me.
