What Possessed Me to Do This?

@birdfan....*G* Please include:
-Certain varieties of motorcycles (not an H/D fan, sorry....)..."Life Begins @ 100"...(when you're young and not afraid of death. ;)...)
-Lotus cars esp.; small, nimble cars in general....
-'Svelte' women in general...(I'm allowed to look, but no touch or drool..)

...there's other items that could fit the list, but become either illegal or distracting....much like my last entry...;)

aewarren & asvjerry,

We are having a house built in the Biltmore Lake community, one with a "bonus room" above the garage.

When we sell our house in Maryland, we'll move in with our daughter, who has lived in Asheville over 10 years now.  We've visited several times over those years, love that town.

Do not worry if it sounds good thats whats important.My Audia flight Stremento #8 amp  is 205 pounds but sounds great.

Like myself, I assume you are 60+ years of age. I just sold my Snell TypeA V5 speaker system, not because it didn't sound good but because the idea of moving it again was daunting. After boxing it up, I felt like a went a few rounds with Hulk Hogan. Everything has to be more physically manageable at this point.

ejr1953:   I cant think of a few good reasons why you bought such heavy equipment:

1. (And most importantly) . . we are guys, and guys like over-sized and heavy stuff.  Why buy a zippy car with a 2.0 liter engine and fuel injection that putts around when we can get a screaming/snarling car with 427 ci and a 4 barrel carb?   Why use a shovel and wheelbarrow to dig a hole when we can rent/buy a Bobcat or a backhoe?  Cause we’re men!  And we can!

2.  If the stuff is heavy for you to lift/move at your leisure, it’s not hard to imagine that it might be too heavy for burglars to want to lift and carry while they are wanting to get in and out as fast as possible.  Better than insurance!

3.  Then there is the aforementioned quality of construction and sound implied by something that can give you a hernia when moving it.  That has to count for something!

PS.  When I recently purchased a Parasound A21 amp from a fellow, it was just he and I — a couple of old guys — struggling to move this thing in its box up the stairs from his basement.  It wasn’t just the weight, but it was hard to get a grip on this box and lift while trying to protect our backs.  We slid the thing up a step at a time.  I asked him why he was selling it — he said he wanted to get something smaller.  Smart guy!
