Satellite pointing at trees
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.

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

Re: Satellite pointing at trees
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.

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"jim wrote:docellis wrote: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.
