July 19, 2008


View of the day-Something out here enjoys all the rain.

We woke up to rain...again...this time .4 inches. We were really lucky since all of the bad weather seemed to split around us...we still got rain, but none of the big winds that hit further north.

Marilyn spent the better part of the afternoon trying to aim another dish so that Al would be able to watch the Saskatchewan Roughriders football game. First we had to fabricate a mount for the dish since we had left the other one at home...just like a lot of other things... We found some bricks and pipes to get a half-a$$ed pole set up and then the aiming started.

No success in the dish aiming, so option number 2 was to see if he could watch it online. Marilyn went on a search and after finding a possible place to watch it, tried to log on and was even willing to pay the 9.95 to watch it. An error message comes on saying "your computer is recognized with a Canadian address and this is the international feed"...but we are in the USA?? Screw that...we thought we would use option 3 and just listen to it on our home radio station online...must have been a lot of people wanting to do the same because it kept cutting out...very irritating. Option 4 was successful...we found a radio feed from the opposing team and were able to catch the win. Woo hoo Riders!

Marilyn thought she would catch up on one of the 'homegrown' shows that are available on the Canadian TV's broadband feed...and get this...a message comes up saying "you are not eligible to watch this"...we're not in Canada?? This is the same website the football game was offered through!

We're in limbo...

I guess you could say you are officially in "no man's land" lol.

Tell Al the game was a good one to watch.

He watched it on the TSN archive today...not the same, he knows...probably wouldn't have if they hadn't won.
