Actually many of the old real art films could have been done much higher quality all along, they were just downsized for the technology of the day.

When they keep good archives of the master 'art' then it can be upscaled to what is available now.

If I am driving I can certainly bring something more than my College FB DO carryon grill :D
with the right amount of time planning we can even have some nice ceviche(colpuck sorry it didn't finish before the game!) and it would of course be gulf shrimp and not denver frozen shrimp co shrimp :)

I've got an older model of this. If we have a sizable group headed to CRP, I could just rent a trailer and haul it down for the weekend. Brisket, Pork Tenderloin, Standing Pork Rib Roasts, Beer-can chickens. The possibilities are endless, and tasty.

I could bring some mesquite from the desert out here to fuel it up.

Got a clarification: it does not matter who you take on the US side, but once in Europe you've got to stick with KL.

The overwater segments still have to be on KL, though, so you couldn't use NW from any of those gateways to AMS.

Talk about confusing. Ok, i'll have to try this. Anyone know what series this reward is?

Excellent. I should have a decent stockpile of oak (pin & live) for the primary fuel, leftover from Ike.

Anything Disney looks amazing on even crappy TV's so I should be out of this world on HDTV's. Many HDTV's fill in the blanks for upconverting and can easily do it with animation because it can find sharp edges. The only animation I've seen on my TV with both DVD and BR was The Simpsons movie as I wanted to make a comparison and there wasn't much of one. That was using my old DVD player with the DVD and the BR player for the BR one.

I've done comparisions with the last HP movie and its remarkable the difference. The BR feels right and it has the theatre feel to it too. I suspect that has to do with frame rate too.

Another thing that effects BR quality is that the vast majority of people don't have their players and TV's set up right. Factory defaults are for the lowest quality set up usualy. It's a pain to tweek the system your self but it's worth it.

Had I thought about it, I could have saved all the wood from an oak and a pecan tree. I would have had to dig the one out of the roof, but it would have been worth it! ^ :D

No worries. I'm a native Texan. I know my way around a smoker pit.

LOL. Every strong Cold Front and Hurricane/Tropical Storm just adds to my stockpile. I just wish the Copperheads didn't like nesting in the woodpile.

It is series 6, but I am not sure of the sub-series (if there is any). Series 6A definitely is DL at 90k.

Can you fly CO domestically (or other carriers within Europe) for the DL 90K award?

just a quick note on that, if you build a platform so the wood is not in direct contact and use an air blaster to keep the leaves from building up under it(and bark...) it will help keep less snakes there. They don't like it being elevated, rats/mice don't get into it that way as well, so double bonus.

This tip also works for storing hay, but I know very few here actually store hay!

I've got alfalfa and maize hay in the barn right now.
