Oh! My aching back......kidding, our daughter was cruising the free section of Craigslist the other day and ran across a piano that was being given away. She called the lady and found it to be in good shape, they were moving and just didn't want the hassle of moving it anymore. Of course, Kaileigh call yours truly (the only one she knows with a truck) and asked if I could help Josh go and get it. I said yes of course, and the next day, Josh, a friend and myself headed to pick it up. (of course no pictures of the gaggle of getting it) but here it is in it's new home. The piano is from 1914 and plays very well, Kaileigh is very happy!!!
That evening we were sitting around chatting and I mentioned getting a center speaker for our TV. Like most new TV's the speakers seem to be in the back and bounce the sound off the wall. This is fine, it just seems we have to have the TV turned up pretty loud to really hear it. My theory was to hook up an external speaker and point it forward for better sound at a lower volume. Anyway, as we were chatting, she says, we have an extra surround sound system in our bedroom we are not using, if that would work you can have it. Again, I said sure. We brought it home, hooked it up and wow what a difference, nice clear sound at a much lower volume, don't have to blast the neighbors out of their rig anymore! An added bonus, the surround sound system is the same brand as our TV, so now one remote works both.
All in all a pleasant day helping the kids, and that's what it's all about. Take Care and see you back here again soon.

I feel your pain, I've moved way too many pianos.
Nice to be able to help out the kids, though. :c)
