Not too bad of a day at work yesterday, just hot and miserable, otherwise not a bad day of service. I managed to throw in a Firesign Theatre reference when I radioed in to dispatch. I pretty much got the grand tour yesterday, Proctorville, to Greenup and one point in between. No phone numbers or email addresses though.

And now a return to Friday Featz!

That's about all for now, gotta take a few minutes to clean out a spot in front of the truck just in case the GM decides to harass me this morning. I don't have room in my truck for all the crap I need to do my job as is, and it's not just me. The new sweep tech has the same problem. He had to get a test tv set in his truck and with all the digital boxes, modems, phone mtas, telephone crap, we have to carry, he's got stuff piled up in his front seat too. We really need extended cab trucks, but the PTB up north will never go for that.


guess I'd better head out the door. Looks like I'm going to need a jacket today since it's going to be 89 today. Brrrrrrrr.

Work wasn't too bad today, I was on customer service all day, but I only had 4 actual calls, The first one was a problem with the digital channels, but It ended up being a bad amplifier module, after I tracked it down it took a couple of minutes to fix, then I had a call which was no problem upon arrival, but the customer was entertaining. He was giving me the details of a botched elbow operation he had, interrupted by a call from the parole officer. Then it was off to Boyd County to check a modem, and then to Greenup to swap out a digital box, followed by driving all over a backroad trying to find a place to disconnect their HBO and pick up their digital boxes.

I saw a fuse explode on a powerline today, lightning hit at what looked like a mile or so down the road and at the same time it exploded. So remember folks, Just because lightning strikes a ways off, it is still dangerous.

I helped one of the installers with a couple of calls and got home about 6:30 or so, spoke telephonically with sharkbait as they were headed out. Then I headed out to Bob Evans for a bowl of soup and a salad. Now I'm back and letting the weekend begin. I'd have a beer, but dinner about did me in. The Cobb Salad at Bob Evans is HUGE.

That's about it for now
