Internet update

Do you even want to hear this? So on the 3rd visit from my friend Jeremy with the phone company, he decides that they have to put a new line to my house and says they will have to discuss burrowing under the street. Then he decides to try one more thing. He hooked up a new modem and my internet worked better than it ever had. Well that was yesterday and today it was back to on and off again. But it is being happy right now. I give up. We are going to Panaca for a few days so I don't even have to think about it.
In the mean time, just so I can still have things not working right, my furnace needs some work done on it. I called 2 weeks ago and they said it would be 2 weeks and that they would call before they came. Well I called yesterday to see how close I was to the top of the list since we will be gone for a couple of days. She said that it will still be 2 weeks before he can get over here. He has a long list ahead of me. Hummmm. There are not many furnace repairmen in Elko. Maybe my furnace will get looked at next summer.
And I am reading about vampires and werewolves. Did you know that they don't like each other at all. What an education I am getting.

I have internet.......maybe

Do you think you really want to hear the latest of my internet saga? Well last Thursday I got my internet set up at home. I got to sit on my couch and play on my computer! Everything was good until Fri afternoon. I usually couldn't get online, but if I did get on, I kept getting kicked off. So Mon AM I called tech support. My new friend Jeremy from the phone company came yesterday to rescue this poor damsel in distress. After much deliberation he determined that the problem was outside my house. That was good news. Then he went outside and climbed up the phone pole just so I could have internet. OK. He got to the phone box in a bucket. Anyway he assured me that everthing is all fixed. I did have issues this morning getting online. I am a bit leery. I just enjoy internet when I have it and hold my breath everytime before I go on.
Stay tuned, I am working at psyching myself up to post pictures.

Molly is Awesome

We visited Lance and Molly last week. Well actually we delivered Isaac to them. I asked Molly to change my photo but she said it was too hard and she couldn't do it. I knew if Molly couldn't do it then it would be difficult for me but with time I knew I would get it changed. Well then I just checked my blog and presto-chango, it is fixed. Thanks Molly.
I am home, well in Elko. I am searching for high speed internet servers in Elko. It is quite depressing. The server I was waiting to go with is in no hurry to get their new tower up and the other one or 2 options are more than I wanted to pay. Guess I'll do some calling around and see what I come up with.
And besides that it is snowing in Elko. I guess winter in on its way.
I put a counter on my blog just last week and it is already up to 47. I'm shocked to think that anyone is actually reading this. I think Molly went in a bunch of times making changes.
