Comcast sucks. But they suck a little less than the alternatives, in my experience. They've been very stable at my work and home for these last 25 years. When I retire, I may be asking you for advice on less costly alternatives. Refresh my memory - did you go with just the internet, or cable also?

.

For TV, we are just streaming and using antenna TV. Our main streaming channel is Philo. 60 channels for maybe $25? I'm grandfathered in at $16 a month. Also had Hulu under last years black friday special of $0.99/mo, but now that it's $7.99, we may cancel.

Comcast will be internet and home phone for $40/mo first year and then up to $59. I'm currently paying AT&T over $90 for the same thing with slower internet. The Comcast internet is only 75 Mbps, but we have gotten by pretty well on 25 Mbps with AT&T, so it should not be an issue.

Well, today has been a cluster with the install. The tech did the outside work, and when he went to register my modem, it was still registered to someone else. I bought it on Marketplace barely used for $65 instead of $200 new. The account was not in the name of the lady I got it from, so I googled her and found out all the people in the household under whitepages, and the Comcast customer service looked up each name until they found the account the modem was attached to. She took it off that account and registered it to mine, but couldn't start my service because the tech who did the install has not closed out the install ticket. She is going to try to get ahold of him and then we should be GTG.

Here are the three outdoor Maremmas this past Summer dying when it was over 70. THey love their fans in the Summer. They are now 110, 100, and 80lbs. Winter is their favorite time of year.

They might really like a poodle haircut.

Back home alive living. Stoney Island exit is closed in both directions, so we had to buzz past Chinatown. Holy inflation on some things. Parking and the food ($41 for 2 brats, a small pretzel w/ cheese and a hot chocolate in the yearly mug). They had fun, so it was worth it.

Dang!
I woulda been done with my lights, but I had to do some stuff at the Legion all morning, didn't start on the lights till 2 pm.
By then, only a couple of hours of daylight left.
But all the manufacturing is done.
Got the 1st new tree, half the lights are strung on it.

So, shooting for a power up test tomorrow.

I took on 4 rolls of sushi last night and I won the battle.


That's fact.

Not some made up scribble in a book.

Shadow chasing off a bear wasn't made up scribble. Thankfully the yard was fenced in, because who knows what she would have done

I think he was referring to 'David and Goliath'

Kid wanted a wooden carved eagle at the market today. I took the liberty of hanging it up in his room.

Well, its not over yet. I called Comcast back to have them start our service, and it turns out the tech did NOT finish all of the outside work, so they rescheduled it for Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, AT&T was set to disconnect us today. No phone or internet for 3 days. I called AT&T and had them extend our service through Wednesday so there would be some overlap.
