YEp, and our rottie has a good coat already for it .
MEmphis marathon tomorrow morning, got to find my long
handles, supposed to be a low of 27 here tonight, high in
the 50's.

I haven't had one of those for years either >  I think
last turntable I had hooked up to anything was ten years ago when we lived in IOwa.
I had two in storage, one set up for 78 rpm, in hopes of
digitizing my lady's collection someday.

I like a real fireplace.  My parents had one, they converted it to gas logs
a couple years ago since son doesn't live
across town and nobody to help split and handle the wood.  I told 'em
they've got a great grandson living with them, let
him put his muscles to work, but mom decided gas log was the way to go
.

Regards,
           Richard
