Timing is everything! As I made my way downstairs this morning KRP’s first words were: the TV took a dump.
Ok? Ugh, what and morning to you too.
Seriously, the old Hitachi 46″ is no more. It gave us years of viewing and now – well – it is what it is. Wanna bring down the TV Anthony gave me and use it and I can go back to my 19″? I await anxiously for the answer – and a swear I kept a low profile and held my tongue -and YES here it comes – NO I will call my cousin and see what kind of deal he can get me on a new one.
Can you say Yippee! The answer I wanted to hear. I wuv my new TV and would be fibbing if I told you I really wanted to give it up. So, I got the little 19″ set up downstairs for now – all KRP does with TV most of the time is use it for background noise – well . … the little guy does do that LOL. I must admit the 19″ on the right there does look kind of dwarfed by the old set.
Just so you know I did figure out that the noise is a relay that sends the power to the other components so I guess on of those is the culprit. OH wells
My small little personal world is starting to feel normal again – whatever normal is. My territory is mine all mine again LOL.
It was so wonderful to have our Godson Anthony home here in the states. Lots of giggles and fun. I do worry about him going over to Kosovo but it is the job he wanted because it got him closer to Germany – one of the countries he has not visited yet and really wishes to do so. He is a traveler that is for sure.
To many humans in this small condo made for an interesting if not stressful few weeks. Everytime I turned around there was someone somewhere – generally in my way. I felt like the Outer Limits intro – we control the verticle, we control the horizontal . …
With the rainy and cold weather I have not ridden my bike for a few weeks but have been using the stationary bike in PE. The week with no class made me aware of how just the having somewhere to go everyday and peeps to converse with helps.
The most exciting (well to me anyways) thing that occurred was the gift that Anthony left for me.
I managed to get it onto my Grandmother’s old trunk and hooked up. I have a whole bunch of catching up to do on what a television does now days – other than be – a television. My old school AMP does not have any HDMI ports so it took my poor brain a bit to figure out how to get the xbox and surround sound all to play nice. Oh yeah KRP bought me a Blue Ray DVD player to go along with the new TV – sweet! I watched 2012 last night. The welcome screen kept asking me to hook up the dvd to the computer so I could listen to the radio and oh who knows what else.
So I make sure the power adapter worked etc and then I hit the WALL. Since the TV was purchase in Qatar I knew about the power plug and I checked the specs out. I missed the big one – the wall – the freaking plugin for the antenna – err umm this looks odd LOL. So, the television did everything but talk to me – except being able to Auh be a television!
KRP picked up an adapter that I found RadioShack carried so yeah I am all excited – hook up the antenna and no joy. I tried everything. Ever try to read a manual written in some sort of Arabic I think. Online Google again I started to notice that all the info that discussed digital TV mentioned the HDMI hookups. But no info really on the antenna plug. Then I started thinking that maybe just maybe the antenna input only did analog and the HDMI plugs the digital? So I got out the box we got that is for converting the digital so that analog TV’s could still work and low and behold I can now watch TV. I am going to break down and run a coaxial cable from downstairs with a splitter and get another cable box for upstairs.
Be back soon till then thinking of Steve and BobRobert. Things in the photo if you view larger:
I wore orange – I dislike wearing orange big time.
KRP let me post her photo here
We walked for BobRobert Sunday
Sorry the photo is so bad but that is cell phones for yah.
Long story short: Lots going on here, Godson arrived from Qatar Via Thailand and is heading out to Kosovo. House full of peeps and crazy. Xbox of Godson using way to much bandwidth and my internet access has been limited because of all the crazy stuff going on and bandwidth.
What makes you think that I would want to give you my phone number in order to create an account? You already track what I google, what sites I surf too, and who sends me mail at my other gmail account. Gosh I just wanted to make a new account with my real name address – well dang me!
To bad cause no freaking way are you getting it. Besides, my cell phone has texting turned off and I mean off because of all the spam I had to pay for since we do not pay for texting. So it is not even an option and giving you my unlisted home phone you have so got to be joking!
