Thank you, George.

I regret that they've moved back to their proper spots in the audio room. :(

I did as you suggested and took pictures first, though.

I don't know about others, but I seem to become quickly accustomed to seeing machines from the same angles all the time, and they lose their visual impact for me. But when i move things around, or - - even better - - bring something downstairs for a "visit" of a couple of days, it's like having a new machine all over again! :)

The photo of Fran's dining room table really didn't do it justice (flash photography is partially to blame). The various horns blossomed out like a flower arrangement, and the diffused light through the windows gave the brass and nickel a soft glow. Funny though - - I don't think Fran's wife saw it the same way! :lol:

No, she really didn't, but she's pretty good about these things. ;)

Hmmm, in this case, that might be accurate! 8-)

Sharon told me she thought the term "gaggle" made sense though, because - like geese - they honk! :shock: :lol:

Fran, your picture makes me feel better about how crowded my table is. :D

Nice, Clay! :)

What better way for these under utilized horizontal storage devices to be employed? ;)
