Updates on life
Well, a large majority of the stuff that we needed to do got done, thanks to a lot of help from our friends: Pam, Ricki, Chris, Jenny, Mikey, and Darrell.
There are a few minor things that need to be worked out: I haven’t been able to verify that the new coax cables actually work. I tried, but I can’t figure out which is which. I need to find/get another six-stick and run the coax to the satellite receiver. That means running the coax from the jack around the bookshelf (probably over and behind it, actually) and into the closet. I wasn’t able to get the wireless router stuff set up. I’m not entirely sure why. I can do a few things, like perhaps switch the cables at the external splitter.
Also, our phone line in the bedroom is toast. I’m guessing that the wires got munched by a rat, squirrel, or bee. (Yes, the bees are back).
I’m going to check the outside box before declaring the phone situation beyond hope and going to an alternative plan. It could be something simple as a loose wire at the jack, but I doubt it.
Just keep your eye on the prize, my son. It will all be worth it in the end. I know from experience! Love you, Mom
