Thanks for the advice about being thick skinned. I am a member on another forum whose motto is "The weak will be killed and Eaten". Hope it doesn't get that bad here, LOL.
Actually I could really care less about the TV but we plan on doing some tailgating later in the year so I am trying to be prepared. What happened this past weekend was we had Niece's and Nephews visiting us and after dark they wanted to watch TV while we all talked around the fire and they couldn't hardly hear the TV outside. I didn't think the surround sound was a very good idea either.
