Good Morning.
It’s 52 which is going to be the high temp for the day. It won’t make it to freezing though. Grey skies will give way to some sun.
Yesterday was a damp grey day with on and off drizzle that only amounted to .2 inches.
Yesterday kept me moving, to the point I forgot to check in here. Takes a while to catch up with only one day absence. Basically the first half of the day was spent dealing with a non compliant airport tenant, they were well intentioned, but Ill informed. I think I have them on the right path now.
The real frustration of the day was dealing with Verizon. I decided to upgrade my fiber service from 150/150 to a gigabit service including mesh routers and get rid of our 5 set top boxes and go to streaming service for TV. Effectively slashing our bill by 70%.
They sent the equipment for self install, but my ONT was different than the ones described, so the reset procedures didn’t work. I ended up removing the back up battery and unplugging it to force a restart. Then the router wouldn’t connect, and they didn’t send the additional two mesh units. It is impossible to actually speak to a human at Verizon, but eventually was able to get a chat started.
I got the router going eventually, but trying to explain that they sent me a DVR/set top box that I didn’t want and was missing two mesh units fell on deaf ears.
Apparently my service change over is scheduled for 1/25, and they can’t change or do anything before that date. Verizon continues to set the bar for terrible customer service. Which is ironic, because their system performance is also unrivaled, but at the other end of the scale. When they thanked me for being a 45 year customer and asked for a review of my experience today, I told them they wouldn’t want to read it.
Finished the day by getting the trash and recycling down the lane,
And went to bed watching streaming TV.
Today the wife has jury duty, so it’s just me and Zoe at home. I’ll have to decide what goes in the crock pot for tonight when the boys come to play music. Not much else planned, have to set up some port forwarding in the new router, but no rush for that either.
Frits- I’m envious of your blacksmith tools, I’d love to see some of your finished products.
Drew- motor home seems like a win to me, when you are done with it, you could likely get what you paid for it, now that someone else has taken the big depreciation hit.
