View of the day-The fleet is lined up and waiting to be cleaned and loaded...all in good time.

We had a list of things to get done today.  First on the list was getting the new dish working..."I told you so" bragging rights were on the line.  We got it unloaded off the pickup and set out for aiming.  Once Marilyn got all the cables run, we turned it on and let it do it's thing.  It took about 10 minutes and the satellites were locked in.

The receiver showed good signal, but only some of the channels were coming in.  After spending a lot of time with tech support, it was discovered that the satellite company had to send down some programming to have the receiver recognize the new dish. Then we were in. Marilyn will hold off on the "I told you so" until the next set-up.

We went out to settle up with Ken and Kevin, then went out to the bins to do a bit of cleaning and get some fueling and fixing done.  Marilyn is still working on the new camera...all kinds of power, but no picture.  She will be taking it in to the dealer to see if it is functioning as it should, then it will be back to square one.

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous...in the 80's just the right amount of wind and it will be like that for the next few days.  This will be a nice change from last week and will make the clean up, somewhat less painful.

We don't have to rush anywhere, but we would like to get moved before the heat turns on again.  The discussion is on between moving a little at a time to break the move up, or taking the usual big moves to get it over with.

We'll see how it goes...
