Well that was fun.  I think the person who was renting my place prior to my return had a Comcast cable modem…

I was able to finally decipher what they had actually done and got the dual feeds for my DirecTV back in working order.  I need to fix one of the connectors in the wall in the main room.

I also forgot there’s a regular antenna in my attic! Nice!  I have a UHF antenna to hook up and then I can have the free OTA HD broadcasts from Lookout mountain.  I’ll have to rumage into the attic to do that.  I think I’ll run some Cat5e up there as well for security mounts outside.

Someone complained I didn’t write anything in a while, maybe they should sponsor me and pay me.

So what’s the deal?  Tile was all laid.  I promptly had to call in and get a installation manager out as there’s just too many errors.  Bottom line… next Thursday (July 10) a new person is coming out to remove and re-install several pieces of tile.  The install manager agreed it was not a professional looking result currently.  He apologized for having sent the installer I got and promised to make it right.

As long as everything is correctly, I’ll be very pleased.

When my place was a rental, someone had Comcast…  Comcast installers are morons.   I will be spending a day fixing what they did to my networking can RG6 cable runs in the crawl space.  How annoying.

I did get my lawn mower out and mowed the back yard, and some of the front before it died.  Maybe it can be resurrected.  I trimmed some of the branches on my tree out front, and got my trash out in time for trash day.

I still have some furniture to buy…like…somewhere to put my TV, Stereo, DVD player, etc…the slate coffee table isn’t going to live holding that stuff.  I forgot I need to get a new bed, oops.  So I’ll use my futon for a bit but I’ll go buy a new one in a couple weeks.  The futon isn’t comfortable for more than a night or two.

Ok..that’s my update.  I’m off on vacation for a while.  When I get back, I’ll have to restart my milk delivery. yumm!
