Yup. Some downtime is needed!
I got my brand new Zenith 1200 exactly 5 years ago (Oct 2005). It had 150 hours on it. I checked last week and we've logged 6000 hours on that thing. That's 1200 hours/year or an average of 3.3 hours/day.
Having a home theater is definitely not something that was a waste of time/money for me! I love using it!

Oh, now come on, Curt... Nobody works 18 hours/day for four months straight. Haven't taken the time to go watch movie? That I can see. I get busy and go 2-3 weeks without getting down to the theater. I get pretty pissy about it, too.

Nah, I watch TV on the upstairs Barco retro. With time spent with the g/f, I only manage to watch Hell's Kitchen in HD, and maybe Big Bang theory (for Kaley!) if I'm lucky. I've actually gotten back into reading, which is what I'd rather do before bed than watching the boob tube.
I bought Cranked on BR for $10 about 3 weeks ago, and it's still in the wrapper.

I have a serious case of tubis envy. 
Nice looking HT Cliff!! (I don't know squat about blends but I guess I incorrectly thought the pj's would be closer together.)

Where did you get the tubes?
I don't think I've ever seen tubes packed in bunches like that although they do looked well packed.
Are they the exact tube for the application or something that will require mod?
Looks like you've got your work cut out for you. How long does it take to swap a G-90 tube (X6)

Naw, it said TAG. lol.
That was a nice six-pack if I've ever seen one! They were in an original Panny box.
Also, need to mention, William's blend is looking really nice!!! Especially Ratatouille Friday night.
But, WHERE ARE THE SUBS?!?!?!?!?!

Nash!!! Thanks! Been lurking and spending time on BBQ forums. The BBQ competitions are really cool! I plan on entering a few contests new year.
I need new tubes, or a better PJ! Light output is getting lower and lower, and the tubes I have now are about "done".
Damn money (or lack thereof) seems to get in the way............................ 
Hope to see you soon.
