I’ve been sitting here watching the Olympics and trying to think of a good theme for today’s blog entry. Usually I am full of ideas and my hands fly across the keyboard. Today I am feeling as tired as the Alpine Skiers after their last run, and my mind seems to be drawing a blank. So I will just tell you a few things that happened on Friday.
- Just before midnight on Thursday, the power went out. Fritz freaked out and woke me to open the bedroom door, which I did, even though I had no light at all to guide me.
- Hubby, who had a flashlight was just coming to bed and we all met at the door.
- After making coffee the next morning, I went to turn on the TV and the channel was stuck on channel 2. Could the power outage have zapped our TV’s tuner?
- We tried everything to switch the station and discovered that we could press in 12 to turn the channel to channel 12, but as soon as we hit the up or down button it went back to 2. We also had no upper channels.
- Hubby called the local repair shop and the woman mentioned reprogramming.
- I knew how to do that, but I noticed when I went to do that, that the TV had gone from “cable” to “TV”. So I switched from “TV” to “Cable”.
- Then I reprogrammed the TV and life was good. And the fix was cheap! Nothing!
- Hubby went off and I did some cleaning and laundry.
- I had lunch ready for Hubby when he got home and he was off right after for another appointment.
- While he was gone I did some programming on Hubby’s computer.
- I also learned to bullet these entries!
- I also took an old pair of speakers from a dead computer and brought them out to the family room. I like to watch TV shows on my computer after they air, and I cannot always catch the dialog, but with the external speakers it works very well. Hubby likes it too.
- Dinner was easy. tacos, Weight Watcher style.
- Now I am working on three projects. The scarf, a booklet and a drawing.
I do not have much else planned for the weekend, or on the docket. Our town elections are on March 9th. That is the day I will be voted on for the Library Trustees. I have my name badge all made up and I am ready to stand outside all day to shake hands.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Bravo ! you made a post and even an interesting one, sometimes we have to reprogram our TV too, it just gets stuck for no reason. Poor Fritz afraid of the dark !
I too am without any ideas for tomorrow’s weekly winners, I only have my daily winner which would be Arthur.But I’ll find something. Now I go over to keep company to Yanouk my dogfriend, he was alone during night because Dominique had to babysit her little grandson. Yanouk as big as he is doesn’t like to stay outside when nobody is there, he prefers to sleep in the house. Once burglers broke into the house while he was in the garden and they gave him a sleeping pill or something, which afterwards made him sick and as he has a memory like an elephant he had never forgotten that. Since this time he doesn’t want to stay outside anymore.
I see your Google Reader works well ! You visit me now often, lol !
You’re drawing! I can’t wait to see!
What are you drawing? Cool! WE may go the Aquarium with Mike and Abby!! Love YOU, Mel
I have absolutely NO idea how to reprogram out television – and that means if it goes wonkers while Dennis is at work – oh well! Mom has no more tv for the day! She doesn’t usually touch any buttons – but every now and then she does… and invariably she’ll hit whatever is just the WRONG combination that I can’t get ANY channel back! LOL! It’s a GIFT! Anyway… in MY mind, you’re a bloomin’ genius!
Hooray for all the craftiness going on 🙂
