My across-the-street neighbors had been helping their boys build an elevated fort, so we already had a 10-foot tall platform to hang a screen from. Another neighbor&#8217;s dad works in a fabric facility and was able to rig us up a 16-foot wide screen for cheap. We mounted my projector on a raised tractor bucket and set 2 of my old huge &#8220;college days&#8221; speakers up in front, and another neighbor&#8217;s speakers behind us for surround sound (no subwoofer, no center channel). I still hadn&#8217;t installed my old Denon A\/V receiver downstairs, so it was available for amplification duties. A small DVD player completed the setup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brucearmstrong.net\/gallery\/v\/misc\/People+tail+gating.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright giThumbnail\" style=\"float: right;\" longdesc=\"People tail gating sitting in folding chairs and in the distance some folks under blankets\" src=\"http:\/\/brucearmstrong.net\/gallery\/d\/5762-2\/People+tail+gating\" alt=\"People tail gating\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>We had a real good turnout, though some might not have thought too highly of our movie choices: <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/title\/tt0109686\/\">Dumb &amp; Dumber<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/title\/tt0120484\/\">The Waterboy<\/a>.
