What a day! My friend Don got here on time, unlike the satellite tech who called and said he couldn’t make it and I had to reschedule. This is the second time. The first appointment was in June and we sat here waiting from noon until 15:45 (the scheduled maintenance window was noon to 16:00) when a robot called and informed us we just wasted 4 hours because they could not make it today. I called the company and was able to get an appointment for today. Now my appointment is on Tuesday from 08:00 until Noon. Yes, that is annoying. The work on the antenna went smoothly and we took Don to breakfast. After that I attempted to unplug a drain. Note the word “attempted”. I finally broke down and started calling around for a plumber. Several in the area told me that they are swamped. I finally got one to claim they are coming tomorrow morning. Keeping my fingers finged. So I tried out my radio that is attached to the new antenna and things seem to be working well. Now I can relax a bit.
