1) Nah, I just lurked around a bit to make sure you/yours didn't get involved in Sandy....
2) I'm usually up and running by Oh-Dark-Thirty anyway. (It's been 40 years, but Flight Ops always started then and the Crash Crew right next to my barracks fired up everything in the barn if we had any flights scheduled or not. Sailors and their firetrucks.....sheesh.)
3) Even if I'm not having those flashbacks, every animal in the place figures that as time I fed 'em, anyway.
(BTW, my compliments on your page.)
Morning Folks!
Thanks for the thread and ping AB.
Thanks for thread A.B. Your Tide finally rolled over the Cats.
Morning AB, All
As always AB, thank you for doing this thread, even in the aftermath of mighty storms.

We survived Sandy here in the swamps and we survived her handily. In fact, Cape May, where Sandy came ashore, is only about 15 miles from my house. That’s New Jersey btw.
Right now I don’t have Internet access. Well I do but I am tethered to the modem in my bedroom, able to access Internet only by wire.
The router is gone is what I’m saying here. Bout a year ago Comcast came in, took out the modem we had and put in another modem (that we rent from them) AND a separate router. “We’re switching over to separate routers because we have all sorts of problems with the modems and routers combined,” the Comcast guy told me.
Well I didn’t care so long as it worked but there’s the rub.
That router hasn’t worked right since we had it. The first time it went up they told me to call Netgear. I told them that it was COMCAST’S decision to put that thing in, yada yada. “Well you’re going to have to sign up for our maintenance plan if you want us to help you fix it over the phone,” the smarmy Comcast guy told me.
So I was forced to sign up for their maintenance plan to fix that stupid router that COMCAST decided to put in, NOT ME.
I did subsequently call up Comcast, working my way up the ladder. They wrote off the remainder of my “maintenance plan” but it still cost me $26 to get that router to work, which required only sticking a paperclip in some kind of pinhole at the bottom of the thing to reset the password.
Eleven house I worked with Comcast over that stupid thing, my hatred for Comcast knows no bounds.
Bear in mind I’ve been their customer for now ten years here in the swamps and five years before in Merryland. A customer who buys internet, DVR and TV service AND telephone crap as part of a package, a telephone I don’t ever use. If that thing ever rang I’d now know where the hell to dint it.
This to the tune of $225 a month so what? They couldn’t direct me to that little pinhole that did make the thing work after almost a day dickering with those mean awful people.
That very same router went down this weekend and THIS time I called Comcast and refused to hang up until they assigned to come and fix the thing that THEY rent TO me.
“And I ain’t paying one single dime to you criminals,” I told them.
I got my way but I’m thinking maybe my snarky letter to the president of Comcast was recorded somewhere cause Comcast didn’t give me any grief save I won’t get a new router till Monday.
I can use the Internet, like I said, when tethered to the modem and NOT the router.
I’ve also learned how to download web sites and “work offline” so for the weekend it’ll do. I just tether my laptop to the wire, download all my fave web sites, then I read them.
So this is what I do now, be patient with me.
After reading the thread I will have to go back into the bedroom, leash myself to the modem, and answer any comments online. BUT I can write my comment and through the miracle of cut and paste I can hook up and send it in.
Am singing at 10 am mass today so won’t be back till almost noon. Have taped Fox News Sunday and Meet the Depressed.
Save me a spot everyone!
