Re: I think one of my plasma tv is dying

My Panasonic plasmas have controls on them and they were manufactured in 2012! I plan on a sound bar in the master BR but not the kitchen as I don't want even more crap hanging on that wall. Besides "we" don't watch anything in the kitchen that would benefit from improved sound. I.E."...

Re: I think one of my plasma tv is dying

Ok I admit to being old so "screw you guys", but whats up with new tv's that have zero control buttons on them. You know volume, channel, etc. I realize I have a remote and if I down load the app I can run it with my cellphone but you know what I don't always carry either of two items arou...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Moving sucks...period...full stop! Best of luck with the move. The Mrs. and I just moved permanently to our country place near Ft. Worth. It was *only* a 240 mile move but DAMN the boxes and packing material waste just never seem to end! Pro tip: unpack the red wine and tequila first. Having it avai...

Re: Looking to buy; Feedback please.

You are correct. A more than reasonable Springtime price. Unless there are hidden reasons for the lowered price.

Re: I think one of my plasma tv is dying

Ok so I finally ordered and hung on the wall between the kitchen and eating area a Samsung 43" QLED tv to replace the dying plasma. The picture is fabulous and I'm still messing with settings. Only problem so far is the less than favorable side viewing "washout". It doesn't appear dar...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

I tightened my with both hands at the same time. I admit I had to use an over sized channel lock pliers to break it loose a few years later. Maybe don't go that tight. :roll: Goddamn coolant cap is leaking ever so slightly, again. Brand new cap. I’m going to be taking it off, cleaning the neck and p...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

It's not just the car it's the people...although some seem pretty dickish especially the letters to the editor section. I love Panorama and enjoy reading it every month, but some of these stories. This month, there's a story about a guy who as a kid blew up his Dad's 912, waited until after the Dad ...

Re: Xenon ballast replacement?

Those are bad! My car has an apparently replaced unit some time in the past and the other side has some hairline hazing but shit it looks new compared to those. It would look like driving with candles on the front of the car. Just in case there are any "should just polish them" people out ...

Re: Xenon ballast replacement?

Ok I owe you an apology. Tonight I had a soccer mom in a newer Honda SUV almost blind me coming up behind me in the Type R. LEDS are painful in the rear view mirror and thank GOD for whomever designed the flip down mirror. I believe she had the brights on and didn't know it but it was blinding. So I...
