Thursday March 22nd

Our friend June came over, so we could show her a few things on her new Nexus 7 tablet. We also just had fun chatting about all sorts of things. Then Bob Flock dropped by. Before we knew it, most of the morning was gone and it was time to and get a sound bar for the TV. The reason for the sound bar is that most of the LED Tv's made these days have a really good picture but not so good sound. It's not just one manufacturer either. When the air conditioning kicks in, and the TV volume goes up, the sound becomes distorted and it almost sounds like a rattle from the speakers. Trouble with this TV though, is that it only has one output for sound, but lots of inputs.

So we went to Radio Shack where I knew they had one. They were $20 more though, then Best Buy and Walmart. They refused to match prices saying it is not their policy. There was no one at all in the store, and not hard to tell why, as the two girls running the store did not have a clue about electronics, and couldn't see the value in matching the price rather than lose a customer. So we said bye bye to the two, and off to Walmart we went.

Got the sound bar $20 cheaper of course. Then we went to Ross Dress For Less. Quite the store, full of brand name clothing at much reduced prices. Used to be the same at Steinmart, but we will not be returning there, they are gradually pricing themselves out of existance. We always find some great T shirts, Katie got a cover for her tablet for $5.95, we got a picture for the bathroom, a container that we really like for coffee beans. The place was very crowded so required a bit of patience for checkout. Compare that with Steinmart which is right next door, and you could shoot a cannon through the place.

Came home and tried the soundbar...hmmm...doesn't work. No way to completely shut off the sound on the TV except for muting it. That will not work. Arggg...so we had to take it back. I will have to try and find another solution.

Then we went to the driving range, and we both were hitting the ball well.

We also went to feed the goats...



Then it was back home for some relaxation.

and so ends another great day in the Valley...

more later...
