SHORT ......DIRECT TV.....

So, here we are building this three bedroom mountain retreat on top on a mountain and thought it would be great to have NCAA Game Day programming from Direct TV. We called them and man there were right out here......


Later you will see the media room and we signed up for 5 HD receivers so we could watch 5 different football games at the same time.....you know there is always a couple games on that you just have to watch and they are always on at the same time.
The answer was a media "war" room......but HOUSTON we have a problem........


I'm sure you remember this picture back when we were building the octagon on the east side of the house, we had even added another floor and where about 64 feet above the ground and about 110 feet to the bottom of the bridge as you can see....that is a very long way down.....very long. The guys from Direct TV couldn't climb out on the roof to install the dish, we called his supervisor but even his supervisor couldn't climb out on the roof, we called the salesman and two days later none of them could even look out the window. It didn't matter what I said, they packed up their stuff and headed to the trucks faster then a boyfriend did after meeting Marilyn Munster mom and dad........ROTFL.


Every year about this time we get what "they" call the onion snow.......it was gone an hour after it hit.....got to love these mountains.


I could understand this picture if Thumper was an Irish Setter instead of a golden, think Scooter is telling her how silly she looks.......


That might explain why Thumper was seen praying on the way home.


Meanwhile back on the hill, after all the gas lines were installed and other utilities it was time to start closing up this sucker.


The bid came in from these guys at $2,000.00 to do the install and they claimed it would only take 5 working days......guess what.....this was day eleven but they should get-r-done tomorrow.......
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!

YADA YADA YADA.......


Ok maybe they will make it after all.......just maybe.
