Well all, I'm 52 and few hours now...not drunk or whipped or anything...just tired...
Got a call right at noon today...the Encoder for our HD signal in La Crosse decided to blow its brains out of wack...the unit required 3 hard Memory-Battery Reboots and 3 related power-cycles to clear out the garbage and allow remote access to finish troubleshooting and then allow reprogramming...that's the short version...
The "main" channel (The ".1" of Digital TV now) was on the air in "green" (think blue screen of death w/MS SW) and all you had was the audio of the program in the backround. Riveting TV to say the least...
Anyways, once that "little" issue got straightened out (1 hour and 22 minutes) the reports had to go out...then I had to head back to the transmitter site to finish up "supervising" the removal of our old tower.
Dinner (My B-day) consisted of a double-order of fried perch and a few ice-cold rootbeers...DOG! I luv Perch (done right!).
Hey everyone...I do appreciate the sentiments concerning my recently-passed MIL and when I find out exactly when we'll be heading out for the services, I'll let you folks know here...
Now that the reports that had been pending are pending no more...I'm going to try to start Friday all over again in a few hours...
Maybe, I'll drown a few worms...fishing is for people who just can't hack the fun of work and forget that cleaning 'em is work, too!
