It was Harbor Freight so it was 50/50 being a one use item anyway. Fortunately, I really don't think I'll ever move that beast again so it's a moot point.

I honestly kinda wanna get rid of it (via Craigslist "come get it" method probably) once I find a reasonable sized PVM. The framemeister is fantastic, honestly. All I need for day to day use. But you need light gun love sometimes.

I was rooting for the Panthers, but didn't really care. Just glad we weren't bored with the Patriots again!

Is the Wega your primary TV? I'm now even, 2 LCDs & 2 CRTs :).

My neighbor was just over & was surprised how good the picture looked on my "new" (to me) 27" CRT in the garage. I explained to him how CRTs handle blacks & multiple resolutions well (vs upscaling).

Found a Zahn Star Wars book for sale at my library, Outbound Flight, bought it for $3.50.

The title page is autographed (I assume from a book signing)

That's pretty dang neat.

Those fiberglass dolly's w/pneumatic tires at home depot are so shiny and advertise huge weight...they're just terrible. I learned my lesson...twice. They are just terrible / cheap. I'm back to a beat up, ugly, orange painted but all black marred beast from the 70's. It's ugly as all get out - but it'll haul anything.
Unfortunately I didn't have a dolly. The one I bought from 8-bit, he helped load in my vehicle. Hobie couldn't help me carry it upstairs, was too much, but was able to knock it out with my brother in law. Making the movers take care of that beast next house I am in lol.

Back in the summers right after HS and my first couples years of college, I worked for a moving and delivery company. One of our clients was a Sony TV store. I had the pleasure of delivering those a few times a week. What makes them worse is lack of good handles, so the plast underneath tears up your hands.

I think I'm the only person in the state of North Carolina who didn't give a shit about the Super Bowl. I was busy playing Megadimension Neptunia. :lol:
