Guy at Radio Shack said a 30 ft run shouldn't be a problem. I finally got to 
use some of that pile of speaker wires I've been accumulating for the last 
30 years ;-) I found two separate harnesses that luckily had matching 
covered connectors on each end, so that saved me from having to solder 
together the two pairs of wire. Just got the female jack I needed (forgot to 
pick it up when I was at RS on Saturday), going to finish the job after I 
read the new SC posts.

No problemo there. I already have a hole in the floor near the baseboard 
behind my desk where we ran the new cable modem line, it drops into my 
unfinished basement. A few wire tacks and I'm done. Hopefully I'll escape 
this time without physical damage! On Saturday when I temporarily ran the 
wires from the stereo to the hole in the floor to make sure the cable was 
long enough one of the legs of the ancient metal footstool I was standing on 
collapsed, dropping me in a flailing bundle onto the concrete basement 
floor. Luckily, I had some spare carpeting laid down there, so it cushioned 
the shock a little. Still ended up hurting my left shoulder, which took most 
of the blow, wrenched my back (again), and suffered a few cuts on my right 
foot (dunno how that happened). Not going to work barefoot this time! ;-)

Can you believe I had to pay a whopping $30 for a simple 3 ft tall aluminum 
stepladder at Lowe's?! Probably could have gotten a cheaper one at Target, 
but.......what the hell, this one will last me a lifetime.
