Anyone here have experience using a home theater receiver (Onkyo 5.1) outside? It would be under my covered patio (20x40) and hooked to my patio TV. I am pretty much committed to doing it since I have an unused receiver collecting dust in a closet but I am curious if the more complicated electronics are likely to die sooner than the TV. Also, what about a powered subwoofer? I would like to hookup a powered sub to it. That would seem to me to be a lot more susceptible to humidity and other things (critters getting in the sound port or eating the speaker material) It is a large covered patio so none of the electronics are exposed to rain or direct sunlight. When bad storms are coming I have a cover for the TV and I would certainly cover any other electronics out there. None of the stuff I have outside is top shelf stuff because I expect it will die sooner rather than later. Just curious what others have experienced.

I think 99% is low, but I admit I haven't been in EVERY Walmart.

He looked ok. Maybe even above average, but still bothers the heck out of me that he looks like he has no confidence. He looks scared in the pocket. That is why he makes some of the wildly off the mark throws. Feels the defenders closing in, and makes a quick throw that is too often behind or over the target. All that can be improved for sure. Better o line play will help a lot. He just doesn't have that air of confident arrogance that Burrow had and I guess that is unfair to put that on him but he has to show leadership. Pissed me off when he failed to convert on 3rd and short and we settled for a field goal. He came off the field after the off the mark throw grinning like he had done something good. Be mad that you sucked son. Nothing worth smiling about in failure.

Yes, because all women must be believed you savages! Did we not learn anything from the testimony of Dr Big Glasses or whatever her name is.

Felt gay clicking on this post, worried there were pictures but totally agree. He came to take names and kick arse, and he got done taking names the first name. Wholesale arse kickings happening since. Good times.

Yes, a few, but for as much amazing shite he was running around making happen, it really is an amazing feat by any athlete in any sport.

Yeah, no kidding. Wife is seriously floating the idea of getting a 500 dollar above ground pool until our in ground gets put in. Im having trouble seeing spending that only to basically throw it away in 2 to 3 months.

This is the kind of info that helps. Wife and I met with Roy, and have talked to his wife on the phone. They seem really nice, and we are heavily leaning towards them. Another thing I like is they handle everything. Fencing, electrical, concrete repair afterwards. That stuff is extra but with other companies they want me to contract out an electrician run the wiring they will need, and also contract out a sprinkler guy to move sprinklers that need moving. They all say they will likely break concrete sidewalks and driveways to install, but Poolmasters is the only one that has said they will do that work also for additional cost. I like just having one company that's responsible for everything.

Part of the consideration in deciding on a fiberglass pool, is that long time timeline. Biggest issue is that our quiet little gated community is the type that everyone is super nice and friendly, but 2-3 months of big truck traffic, and sidewalks torn up during construction, we'll be making a lot of enemies, lol. Fiberglass companies were talking 10 day install time if it doesn't rain before, and during installation, which of course we know will happen. Realistically they said 3 weeks. Still beats 3 months or longer. Thanks brother. Good look with yours too.

Yep, I get that it's not for everyone. We are empty nesters in our late 40s,and semi retired. I'm sure the kids will love and appreciate it, but we really want it for ourselves. We will be in this house for another 5 to 10 years. If it turns out the pool was a mistake, then we move sooner, lol.
