Got up early and went back to the hardware where I got a pressure valve and drain pipe for the hot water tank. I was still having some water in the cabinet around the tank and after installing the valve I think the water problems are at an end in the unit. Marg had several visitors for various things, about some of the functions she is volunteering at and one of the gamblin' gals stopped by.
Marg went back to Basha's with her rain check for the big meat sale. When she got there the steaks were sold out again, but the butcher recognized her from last night. Nice guy and he wrapped up some New York steaks and gave them to her for the price of T-Bone, so it could not have worked out better. The steaks are huge, probably one will be all the two of us can eat. Looking forward to trying the first one tomorrow night. She got a bunch of other stuff in the sale as well. It was a pretty good deal.
I started work on the front step, but needed some other stuff and managed to get in my first trip to Harbor Freight and got a few things. It was my plan to fix it today, but too many other things got in the way.
Finally got through to Tracfone and it turns out we can't block the text messages from the prior user of the phone number we had. All they could do was give us a new phone number. Good timing as there wasn't time to commit the first one to memory.
Then the repair guy from Mediacom showed up. Nice young fellow and he diagnosed the problem with service right away. Well not all of it, I did fix a part of the wifi problem. It turns out there is a switch on the modem to enable wifi and all I had to do was turn it on. I readily admit to being a techno-peasant, and now the world has proof. This allowed the ipad to connect, but the laptop was still not able to connect, so he fixed that. The TV problem was loose and improper connectors. It turns out the installers put on 2 cables they should not have because they have poor quality connections. But the worst problem was created by the cable ends they put on, one was not even crimped on, just slid on to the cable. The young fellow cut all the cable ends off and put new ones on and we are golden now.
By then it was time to bbq for a hurried supper and then off to the ice cream social. The crowd was small but the banana split I had was good anyway. Marg had a half piece of cake & some ice cream and the company was good. Busy day, how busy you ask? Well we never even got to happy hour, not that is busy.
Plans were to take the day off tomorrow and play some pool, but we might be going in to the desert, stay tuned.
Good job on turning that wifi on... Must be pretty swanky in the park having your own wifi.... The meat would ve to be a better bargain then that to get me to eat it lol x
