Like Clockwork

... Shoppers Drug Mart ( read , CVS or Walgreens ) offers a coupon. 20 X the points or some such
Last week , $ 20 off if you spent 75. Not points , dollars

Wandering the store , I find an ' Akai ' base speaker set for TV etc.
The speaker is meant to be the stand for your TV. As if the TV wouldn't be tippy enough already.
59.95 minus 20 is 40
Wow. Of course , I picked it up
Now to get to 75. This and that
At the register , I look at the machine - 97 dollars
Yepper , after the rebate , we still spent 97
Can I find a deal ?
Is there no end to my genius ????

OK. Unpack the speaker.
Unplug the remote speakers that we had been using
Our TV is bracket mounted , I put the new speaker ( flat affair )
under the PVR and DVD player. All fits neatly
Ready,
No sound. Play w/ the remote for the speaker ( yes , just what we needed another remote for the TV ).
Unplug and replug. Lights are on , and no one home

Choose TV menu , select audio. Sound out ' on '   NO 
Flick the icon , dadah - sound. Great acoustics , really.
Well ,anything beats the 6 Watt speakers on the TV.

Problem , if we got sound by turning on ' sound out ' what was happening w/ the other speakers that were plugged into the same port. Criminy , I was sure sound came out of the remote speakers
that I switched out.
This base speaker , also allows BluTooth connection for other devices computer , phone etc.

and the sucker turns itself on when the TV starts.
It allows accentuated bass sound and has its own mute
and of course , volume

Weather : between leaves and rain , something is falling all the  time and it's cold
