Satellite pointing at trees

[docellis]

So I guess with all the rain and whatever the trees in my backyard (and all my neighbors yards that back up to my yard) have really grown. To the point that I can no longer watch baseball games.

When they installed the satellite they pointed it at trees.

So I went out and started chopping trees down. After I chopped the first two down and saw that the reception did not change at all, I gave up on chopping trees down.

They won't come out to fix it until Thursday.

I have been on vacation since last Thursday, so I haven't seen one baseball game in a week. I am jonesing. Enough to chop down trees.

LOL, sounds like you need to invest in a chainsaw.

Either that or hit up the local bar so you can watch the game.

sig'd. Although I believe the preferred spelling is 'jonesin'.

Or hit up a local bar with a chainsaw. Then, watch the game.

I like your out of the box thinking.

I bought a chainsaw last year (a dead tree fell onto some powerlines and was pulling some wires out of the home of my neighbor and I was scared they would sue me or something so I was going to buzz it down before they got home from work*) and put it together and it didn't work. So I returned it and got a new one and put it together and it didn't work. So returned it and asked the Lowe's dude to put it together and he tried and it didn't work.


*This, to me, meant I do not need to operate a chainsaw at all. Power lines? Me? Chainsaw? Bad.

That was definitely a sign.

Put it together? If you bought a chainsaw with assembly required, I think you might want to step up a notch or eight. Not only did mine come fully assembled doc, but the guy put a tank of gas in and made sure the chain oil was full.

That's true, I don't think I've ever seen a chainsaw that had "assembly required"

That is kinda weird
