    Horkn Good to hear you have choices for TV and internet. Directv just hiked their price by 10 per month and other than OTA, I don't have any other choices other than Dish. We have no cable here and internet is only DSL at best. I guess that is the price one pays for living in the country an at least 5 miles from town.

    Like 3 Mbps iirc. We're at the end of the dsl loop here. Last night, Friday night our internet was stoooooooooooopid slow. Good thing we had the Bucks game to watch.


    Ok. Just re ran the speed test. Ugggggg. This is better than last night fwiw. Screenshot_2019-03-16-08-29-17.png

    I recently got Cincinnati Bell Fioptics. I didn’t get the fastest speed for $ reasons but..... it is always 170-270 Mbps. Fastest I have ever used. Tv with this also but pricey.

    Doing more tests on my internet speed it shows it's all over the map for download. Here's a couple tests in a row. The first one my wifi dropped out and it went over cellular for uploading

    X1000! My dad waited too long. He is 79 now. Would’ve died many years ago but quit. He can barely do a flight of stairs but is still on the right side of the grass. I have had my addiction struggles. Stick with the plan. It’s a better way to live.

    Let’s see it. I’ve been thinking it would be cool to have one to fly around the property. My kids would have a lot of fun with it too.

    Drink lots of water to flush everything out of your system. Then you will be too busy heading for the can to worry about smoking. All kidding aside, water is your friend right now. Drink lots of it. Stay away from caffeine products for a week or two until your system is cleaner.

    Congratulations Mark. And please let us know how the drone works out. I'd sort of like one for myself.

    We saw a couple robins yesterday while on the road and a few red-winged blackbirds. This morning there is snow. Not much but it is cold too.

    I can hear a big flock of redwing blackbirds that just arrived yesterday. It is in a big fir tree that is a block behind me. They are my first harbingers of spring!

    Ok, I got spectrum all set. Unfortunately they didn't have any time this coming week, and their first available appointment was the day we leave for vacation. So... I had to choose the day after we got back home on the 3rd.

    Good news is that it's all set. Bad news is that makes a little more hassle and work for me.
    I'll have to set up the dish somehow on probably the patio so we have signal beyond OTA for Monday-friday this week.

    I'm thinking set it on the patio table and screw the lag bolts into round of wood that is placed on the table.

    Yeah, it's a bit red, but the wife didn't strike that idea down. So......

    Thanks... :handshake:.... it’s been a rough day, especially for the other half... we got the fluid out of chest cavity... just to buy them some more time together. But she’s got a tumor that likely cancerous. So time is all bought today...
