Today I am starting down the path to crossing another milestone in my life. Is that mixing metaphors? meh.

By sometime next Tuesday I will be fully involved with a full blown media center:

• Big Ass TeeVee (BATV) – 52 inch Sony with high definition
• Dell computer with sooper-dooper video card dedicated to serving the BATV.
• Surround sound
• Infrared Repeater so my wireless keyboard, mouse and remote can shoot a signal around the corner
• DirectTV (changing from Dish Network because they are groks and I got a sweet deal from DirectTV)
• Cable – not new but configged differently to serve BATV
• Tivo – not new (see above)

St. Todd deCubville is doing the installation.

It all starts tomorrow and I will be sneaking away to Twitter our progress @goinglikesixty. I am the designated beer hauler, that will give me enough time to tweet his activity and keep a beer count.

I think I have the blog set up to compile my tweets and make a post. OTOH, the whole thing could blow up like a Rodenator and bring down the entire neighborhood.

So today:

• mow the yard (it’s nineteen inches high and can’t wait until next week)
• get my haircut (it’s nineteen inches long and Nancy is driving me nuts)
• get Miller Lite Beer in bottles
• get ice
• go to airport to pick up St. Todd deCubville and Amy
• inventory

I hope this isn’t the end of a fine blog.

I do appreciate you readers so much.

But when I sit my Big Ass down in front of that Big Ass TeeVee and see Rachel Ray in HiDef, that may be nirvana.
