Ditch Digger

Posted on by

sooo , my internet cable is still exposed and I’ve decided to run a new conduit instead of cutting drywall to find the break. Yesterday I started and I will continue today and over the weekend. I’m going to drill a hole near to where the air conditioner drain goes out, and my ADSL jack will move to another wall.

Today, probably, is the drilling part. Where the hole comes out determines more precisely where the trench I dig will go.

I squirted myself in the eye with peppermint soap this morning and I’m typing this blind. Not too bad for a blind guy, huh?

Have a good day!

Like A Crazy Person….

I spent my yesterday afternoon digging up my yard to see how the conduit for my internet cable was.

i almost bought this roto rooter thing to try to cleat the pipes, but didn’t.

I

i may go back and get it today. Right now, my internet cables are all jury rigged, running down the utility pole and across the yard. The phone company would leave it like that if I let ’em! I won’t.

It’s almost Friday.

Not A Weed

Posted on by

This plant has been growing for quite a while. I thought it might be a weed but never plucked it. Glad I didn’t! I took this yesterday while I was checking on my pepper plant. Pretty Yellow flowers.

My internet is down hard. Massive problems with the underground conduits from the road to the house. Full of mud. The wires have been pulled and cannot be replaced until the conduit is cleared.

oh well. Have a good day.

First Cruise Ship In 2!

Posted on by

Yesterday was Cayman’s first Cruise ship in over two years. Here’s a little VIDEO I took on TikTok.

it is good that the world is getting back to normal.

My internet is still intermittent. Yesterday we tried to replace the underground cable from the street and the wall jack and it came disconnected while pulling. Now there’s a temporary cable running across the yard. Couldn’t get the cable through the pipe now and the problem remains unchanged I am frustrated and fearful I might have to dig up the yard to replace the cable. (This cable is supposedly the customers responsibility.)

my blog message last two weeks.

Oh well.

Have a great day!

Full Moon Phone Photo

Posted on by

Above is a photo I took this morning for the full moon setting. I took it with my phone. I know it’s not very good but I think it’s cool and the moon was beautiful.Today I have a follow-up check up about blood pressure.

And i ruined my breakfast. I poured a bowl of cereal and then when I poured the milk on, it was curdled it was good day before yesterday. I’m disappointed/angry.

Plus i don’t know if I mentioned it , but last Thursday my home internet quit and it’s still not fixed. I’m posting this using the cellular data plan. Crabby.

Gas Rumors

I got the above message yesterday. Twice. On my ride to work this morning I’ll see if the price has gone up.

My internet is intermittent again. I turned off my phone wifi and am using cellular data to post this.

Just in time for the weekend! Every time!

But it isn’t going to bother me. It’s going to be a great weekend! I hope for you too!

Sunset Shots

Posted on by

Movie night last night was quite nice, had a full table. Good sunset.

Sunset at movie night.
Good friends John and Karie

The movie was Mission Impossible, I had seen it before.

It is A-day off Friday, not sure what I’m doing. Diving? Laundry? Housecleaning? Beach? Yard work/home improvement? Wait for the phone company to come fix my Internet again? I don’t know. I’m not going to worry about it until I finish this cup of coffee and maybe another one.

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend!

Second Warning

Posted on by

More than a year ago, my mother sent me an article from the newspaper about Chrome and it was time to get rid of it. Now, it’s come up again, in an article I just read. So, I installed Firefox.

II haven’t uninstalled Chrome yet, but I will if Firefox seems OK.

I am glad it’s Friday. It’s been a rainy week and it looks like more of the same for the weekend, but I’m looking forward to it.

Have a good weekend!

Ya Know What Grinds My Gears?

YouTube “videos” that are really slideshows. That really gets under my skin. There ought to be a special rule or category so you know it’s not a video before you click it.

The above was in a list of topics to post for when I can’t think of a topic.

Today the wife starts moving out. I’m sure I’ll be shocked when I get home tonight. I want to take pictures of everything so I can remember what it was like. I’m going to miss her and her stuff.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Internet Down Mostly

Posted on by

It’s been frustrating around here lately. The internet has, for all intents and purposes, been down for days. It was up briefly last night, at about three quarter speed, but mostly it”s been what I call down. Even an email message takes an eternity to load.

I’m paying for 10 Meg per second download speed, and lately it’s been about 300 or 700K. Every six months, I have to call the company, and it’s a nuisance.

The weatherman has been calling for rain every day for the past few weeks or so, but we haven’t been getting much rain. Now the weatherman is saying sunny today, and rain tommorrow, so I’m riding the scooter today. It will be the first time since week before last.

Sheba went to the vet yesterday, she won”t put her right rear foot down. The doctor found liquid on her hip, an infection, apparently. Sheba has to take a whole pile of pills three times a day, and you can tell she doesn’t feel good.

Ad that”ll do me for today! Have a good day!
