One of our neighbors at the park, Phil, is a full time rv'er who spends his winters in Donna, Texas. He has a Winegard satellite dish that he doesn't need and has offered it for sale. We had brought our receiver from home, Phil helped Tom hook up the dish and get the television working. That part was great until later in the evening we lost the signal and were not able to get it working again. Ended up turning it off and suffering in silence............well not that silent actually...lol.
There is a surround sound system in the rv. The fm antenna is no where to be found and we are unable to get any radio reception. We had stopped at the Future Shop the day before to see if we could purchase a replacement....no. You would need to order from the manufacturer and no guarantees. So no radio.
In the rv there are a hundred cables, nothing is labelled and you are working in a little cupboard above the counter. All in all painful. We brought the tuner home with us to see if we can get it to work here.We may end up swapping out the entire mess and eventually taking our systems from home and doing some magic to get everything to work. We are both technologically challenged and my date doesn't have much patience so this will be an adventure...........lol. Good thing we are getting this all worked out before we go on the road.!!
We did build a deck for Tara over the weekend. Worked our fingers to the bone as you can tell from the picture below.
Pretty good work??? It is very stable, even has a concrete base (bricks). I was reminded of when we were visiting the Hollinger's in DHS last winter. A lady across the street fell coming down the steps on her unit and broke her arm very badly. This just makes that last step a nicer landing and less awkward. It will fit in the back of Big Mo and most likely make the trip with us.
I hope all the Dad's out there had a wonderful Father's Day. Remember "Anyone can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a Dad".
Until next time - safe travels.
Instead of dealing with the Future Shop who pays there salespeople commission only I myself prefer Best Buy who pays them a wage. Future Shop will push you to spending big bucks in order to make a better commision. Best Buy will work with you to resolve the problem and sell or repair for you only what is needed.
ReplyDeleteNeat steps!
It's about time.
Yup, you have a lot on the go there... Gotta get that tv thing going, so Tom and I can sit and watch the Leaf's together! (lol)
