But you can spend more, $250 per ticket, win a Tesla and save the whole planet in the process, not just those pesky kids. https://climatexchangeraffle.org/ Tickets go on sale September 12th. Better yet buy a ticket for both and take the saved kid for a ride in your Tesla and have a planet left for the kids to enjoy long after the old geezer in the vette is getting his diaper changed in an old folks home by the kids with no real job prospects left 25 years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thousand dollars for a taillight lens assembly? Eleven thousand for a new battery? No thanks. +++ Speaking of saving the planet do you know what we call electric vehicles in West Virginia?

What price can you put on being the only guy on the block with an $11K battery? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Honda dealership had broken tire machine with no plans to replace it. Sears had the machine which took two trained apes to use it; one was on days and one on nights! Nearest was in San Antonio 2.5 hours away; run flat good for 50 miles. Class action law suit settlement was to get 300 dollars towards trade in for new van. I bought new wheels, tires, jack and spare. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you see fit. The smart money is on the $1k taillight and bragging rights battery. USNRET has already shown us better odds than the lotto. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my '79 with hounds tooth "oyster" interior to pay for a semester of college (Go Blue) wanted to get out before I needed the diaper thing. Pretty sure I sold at the absolute bottom of the market, brilliant. Should have bought Lotto tix instead. I'm still good getting in one, out is another story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing more people read this one thread than the entire Home Theater forum. I'm looking for ideas on how to share a cable box between two TVs on different floors of my house. Please give this a look https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/179202-share-cable-box-or-stream-hdmi/ This will do it. Option B is if you have wireless at home, you can get Roku stick, plug into HDMI and you can stream from your TWC, Spectrum or other account. No extra charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windashine Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Option C - https://www.wikihow.com/Run-TV-Cables-in-Wall-Spaces-from-the-Attic-or-Basement-Space offered in kindness, if wireless involves using a remote, scrolling through a menu or yelling the phrase "is it on yet" where the neighbors begin to answer you.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windashine Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 When I had the floor replaced in my den and dining room, I had to temporarily modify my router wiring from under the stairs, and just used frog tape for the coaxial outlet up the wall, along the hall, and to the kitchen, where a bar stool earned its' extra badge of appreciation... Sorry I don't have a picture, but it was basic... Basic enough that I left it up for a couple of week's admiring the strength of that green frog tape. Positioning your router (or another newer router modem cable thing) around your home, or the distance from your inlet hookup, would save you having swiss cheese holes inside your house.

I can't find what options A, B or C are. Was hoping by posting in the CCC thread I'd drive some more traffic to my HT form post. I don't see an ABC in either. C might be a link from @windashine on how to poke holes in walls, I'm pretty good at that. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 @USNRET wow I remember when that contest started like three or more years ago. What was it $99.95 per ticket? Remember it wasn't a measly amount. Forgot which charity it was but remember it was real. Congrats and so sorry you can't use it, GLWYS! Pretty nice pic of our downtown from a different angle than all the others. I know what the Jake version was, not sure about the Jeff. **viewed the vid and realize that wasn't a one time raffle. LS7 - da^n I was happy with a 16 valve LT1 and that reverse flow cooling down here in the south, it was unbelievable. 99 degrees, stuck in bad highway traffic after hours at 70mph, turn on the ac and watch the engine temp go down 😍. Long Live the BIG-BLOCK!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to venture out of the CCC area from time to time. There's a great big forum out there. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
