thunder and lightning and big tv's oh my!

We drove back from Sacramento to Riverside yesterday so we didn't get a chance to post anything.In short it was uneventful the normal 9 hour drive on I-5.
we woke this morning to thunder,lightning,and the occasional rain shower.Even though the weather was dreary,I had some chores to do .I went to "Campworld "to pick up a gas filled lift for our utility bin.One of them broke and I have to use my head to hold it open when I access it.I replaced it,then it was on to some smaller maint. items.Dan had called me last night an asked me to help him pick up a TV at Costco.How heavy can a TV be?.........Why two people?.......... oh well I met him at his place and off to costco.Dan is my son if I hadn't already told you.when we got there they rolled out this HUGE box on a cart! I asked my son,"where are you going to put it!" "on the wall" he replied.This monster was a 55" diagonal screen and 80 bulky pounds.After straining every back muscle getting it in Dans truck,we got it home and unloaded.Dan bought a mounting bracket to put the "behemeth"on the wall.This item also weighed 20 pounds.After a couple of hours,lots of "cussing,and more "strained" muscles,it was up.sitting in a
chair resting after the ordeal,I looked up at the "Behemeth"and noticed how nice it looked,the clear HD picture,the rich vibrant color,it's like being at the movies.I wonder how big a TV I can get in our RV!
