Saturday fiascos

Yesterday, I called the YM's president to talk about putting up flags this morning. I told him it was going to snow and rain all afternoon so we should plan to work around it. He said "Good idea, I'll call the boys, and let you know what we are planning to do by tonight sometime"

Well, you guessed it. No phone call. That leaves me waking up at 6 am wondering if I should get up or sleep for another hour. People are soooo flakey. They ought to just do what they say they are going to do. If they dont plan to, they should say they will...


I had an install at a new clients house at 8 am. Just a new 3 LNB Sat dish but I had to point it which always sucks. It's like a true black art. Luckily I had the old one still setup so I could try to mimic it's postion as much as possible. The thing that sucks is I am getting really good signal strength off of all three LNB's but one of the transponders is bringin' up a big fat zero. So that means I have to warranty that one now, and that, is a fiasco.

12:30 put me at Dru's house to help him move a bunch of appliances around. Some new, some old, some had to be returned to the home depot, others had to be picked up there. We must have spent an hour and a half there :( So after that mess we ended up swapping the upstairs appliances with the downstairs ones 2 times...2 TIMES! ALSO....a fiasco

By 4:00 I had gone grocery shopping to 2 stores and was on my way home for a little R&R (so I thought). I always end up doing something...I ventured into the back yard to look at some of the metal building components and inventory them. Well, here I am a couple hours later and I just came inside. Stacey is incredibly patient with my constant desire to do something that she hs absolutely no interest in. So I am off to appease the wife, she deserves a little QT.
