35°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 40° today. Rain is expected to start around 9pm tonight, rain all night, then change over to snow after sunrise on Saturday. Best current guesses are in the 1-3" range ... for now. They've also updated the temperature forecasts; we were supposed to be below zero Sunday night, then it was raised to just above zero, now they're saying mid-teens. Still cold nonetheless.
Dish Network tech came out yesterday and installed all new boxes, and re-aimed the dish from South to East. Guess they have a new satellite. He also installed another line and box in The Wife's sewing room. When she talked with them the other day, they were trying to raise the monthly bill to over $100. She told them we don't watch enough television to make that worth it, and was going to just cancel, so the CSR found a package with only 50 of the most popular channels, added all of the music channels (all I ever use the TV for), added a box for the sewing room, and upgraded all of the equipment (free of charge anyway), and our bill actually went down by about $5/month. Sometimes, complaining does do some good.
Kind of like New Tractor Day for you, eh Don ... er, Tractor Daddy?
Vehicles and youngsters is always a stressful thing, Mostly. Been through that all too many times with the youngest stepson. His Mom gave him her '12 Kia Sorento, instead of trading it in for the new Niro, so he could have a decent vehicle for a change. Took him all of four days to break something, passenger side rear window got knocked off track, and is now held in place with half a roll of duct tape. Last night, he sent a text to her saying his feet are too big for it
, and he's thinking about selling it and getting something else. He's had it for a week-and-a-half, and already wants to get rid of it. She was furious, and called him to read him the proverbial riot act.
The fun never ends.
