Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Returned all of our Cable TV equipment to the cable company and finally cut the cord tonight. Man did that feel good!

 

What are you using as a replacement, if you don't mind askin' TT ?

 

So what are you using now to stay connected ?

So true Will! So True!


Glad to be back inside, it's been a busy 24 hrs. Took a road trip out to Albany NY yesterday to pickup a full set of rims w/ snow tires for Natalie's '14 Subaru Legacy: kind folks traded in their '10 Legacy earlier this summer, and offered up the complete tire/wheel package for $100 bucks on CL.

Heck yeah, I'm taking a road trip .. Had been searching CL for a few weeks prior, nothing was in her (aka: our) budget, until this deal. Tires are Altimax Arctics, 8/32" tread - she's good to go for at least a few seasons w/ this set.

Started snowing 6pm on the way back through NY -> VT, literally been driving in this storm that just ended for like a solid day. Eesh. I'm toast.

Just got in from finishing sn!wblowing the driveway and all the paths, we got about 8" total today / about 14" total sitting out there.

I'm taking her car into work on Thanksgiving, the office is closed: owner & mechanics are cool about letting me use the Service Bay to do the tire/wheel swap. ... 'Cause it's gonna be Skeeter weather on Thursday.

Early night tonight, hope all are well & staying warm, gots to go feed the pellet monster, before zzz's.

Have a great evening all.

 

DirecTV NOW. Streams over your broadband internet connection. No dish, has all the channels we watch (including the locals), and at $40/month instead of the $110 we were paying for Cable TV service.

 

He'll be back, they ALWAYS come back

 

Thanks TT. We have DTV satellite service now - I think we are going to be doing the same, when the contract ends in summer '19. Even w/ bumping up the DSL service to 25/2, we'll still be saving about 80/mo.

 

* This Public Service announcement has been brought to you by your local BIG CABLE company.

 

Just looked at my Cable TV bill. Turns out the TV service was actually $75. Then tack on another $35 in taxes, fees, and surcharges for a total of $110. Seriously? That $35 of junk charges is nearly the same price as the replacement TV service!

 

Did a price match at my local HD and purchased 3 skids(60x3=180) of Lacrete's at $250t to go along with the 22 bags of Satisfaction's I've picked up with the home renovation's material/beer & case of wine run of the other week
I've got to replenish my stash as the season rolls along, already at 31 bags for the month of Nov
Calling for -14*C(7*F) tomorrow with-20*C(-4*F) at night

 

You pig!!!

 

If I didn't get all this stuff for free, I would never pay for it. I'd have a modem and that's all....I think we charge $68 for a la carte gig service...I'm not even sure

just checked**** $64.99**********

 

Got to feed the

 

Spent 1.5 hours shoveling and snowblowing last night. It was very wet and heavy so I'm glad we only got 5-6". Did all the walkways that I didn't do after the last storm too. My optimism backfired as the old snow didn't melt, but never got solid either. Ground is still soft too so it was a bear getting a couple areas cleared. The snowblower is a trooper though and we persevered. Will clear the front steps tonight - that is the only thing left.
