Awake: 5:50am Temp 51 Stormy Overnight @ Nicktown
Early morning storm with heavy rain, strong winds & falling temperatures.
No Mass, communion service or school today. We do however, join the
zestful coffee club members for 25 min. Kathy brought a freshly made loaf
of banana blueberry nut bread for the coffee gang and that tickled their
palate without a doubt. Then we spend the next 1.5 hrs exercising in the
community center workout room.
Mid afternoon, I am back with the DirecTV system trying to get a good
signal. No matter what I do: read the manuals, check the coax cables,
reset the equipment, etc., our signal strength is zero. I don’t know how
or why some signals came through yesterday, but today…zilch. Ok, so “Hello
DirecTV!” The technician sounds older & experienced. She is very
methodical & like a detective, lines up the clues & tracks down what may
be…”the culprit.” She concludes that our satellite system has not been
used in over 4 yrs & those receivers haven’t been updated automatically
thru the satellite system since then & now, they are too obsolete to
receive updates. At no cost to us, she orders 2 new satellite receivers to
be shipped via FedEx ASAP. OK, we hope she’s got our troublemaker
targeted.
7:20 dinner: Mexi-Jon pork chops, brown rice, asparagus, fruit salad & toast.
Watch “Dancing with the Stars” on regular TV.
Later: finish watching the video movie: “Fly Away Home” with Jeff Daniels
& Anna Paquin. I thought it was a good family film.
High today: 51 Lights out: 11:29pm
