THE TUCKERSMITH COMMUNICATION INSTAL THIS MORNING WENT SMOOTHLY

Well, I was up early in case the Tuckersmith Communication installation crew came at 8 a.m.  A friendly and amiable young fella who looked like he was fresh out of High School rolled into the driveway with his white TCC van at 9:05.  A second fellow rolled in with his white van about 40 minutes later.  A new hole was drilled through the living room wall behind my main TV because I wanted the main set up, with all its wires there instead of the sunroom where there has been a mosh of wires behind the computer desk forever.  It will be much easier to slide the TV and its stand out of the way and gain access to the TCC equipment than behind the very heavy computer desk.  Well, it all sounds good in theory anyway......Update:: The install went smoothly, without even one hitch.  Everything was up and running perfectly by 11 a.m.  Five stars and two thumbs up for Tuckersmith Communications.  But, not five stars and two thumbs up for me.  Despite the young fella explaining the new remote, five minutes after he left I had things so screwed up between the Tuckersmith and Apple remotes that the only thing I could get on the TV screen was my XM music and Howdy Doody.  But, lucky for me, it was Andrew to the rescue again and it didn't take him long to get everything straightened out.  Of course, getting me straightened out, proved to be another whole challenge!!

Thankfully, I am feeling like my old self today.  I don't know what happened yesterday, but it sure knocked the stuffings out of me for a while.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two old friends met by chance on the street. After chatting for some time one said to the other, "I'm terribly sorry, but I've forgotten your name. You'll need to tell me". The other stared at him thoughtfully for a long time, then replied, "How soon do you need to know?"
