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.
This sounds like something Clark Griswold would do.

:shock:

A $35 put it together job. I'll bet you that thing does some good cuttin'. If you really need a chainsaw around your property than I suggest just biting the bullet and buying that will cut and last. This with the 16" bar for example is perfect, I own one myself. And you don't even have to put it together!

Technically, it is the dish pointed at the trees, I would think.

Wouldn't it be easier to move the dish than to cut down the trees?
