Quote from: walkerwally1 on December 10, 2024, 10:46:59 AMAnother wild fire has broken out in Malibu last night and because of high winds and dry conditions it is out of control and is in an area of very expensive homes.

I saw that in Wunderground. Good ole Santa Ana winds making things worse!! Hope they can get it under control quickly, before too much damage is done. Poor people to have this hanging over their heads just before Christmas!

129 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 39°, today's forecast is 40°/21° and cloudy.

Ack! the morning started rudely being awoken at 6:15am with a wall of text (at least 3" on the phone) from crystal lady lamenting that she must have done some offense that caused me to raise her prices...what can she do to fix it? I had told her before we were getting to the more expensive items. I guess she still expected low prices. ...yada yada yada.. I was soundly sleeping having a dream that she woke me from so it took a minute to get my bearings. I just put it away to deal with later but I noticed my bg was noticeably higher than normal so it did get to me.

Then after getting cats all set for the day I sat down with my tea to post here, turned on the TV and no picture, but sound!! Arghhh, unplugged everything and replugged in now nothing at all but the on lights. Guess I have to get a new TV.

So day is not starting well!!! I guess I'm going to town to get a new TV...I'll call DISH first and see if maybe some adjustment needs to be made.

106 this morning. Our high yesterday was 58° and the overnight low was 25° so cold for me. Today is supposed to be the same and should start to warm up a bit in a couple of days. 

Well, that is a bummer Barbara. If unplugging it and plugging it back is doesn't fix it, usually works, then I guess it is done for. On the plus side TVs have come down a lot in price. The new "smart" TVs are nice when connected to the internet and offer so many things that I have enjoyed like Netflix and others. Some are free also.

Yeah, the fire in Malibu is still at zero percent contained and many have had to evacuate. I saw on the news that dick Van dyke and his wife had to evacuate and that is the type of homes that are in this area. The weather is getting better but high winds are expected through today so it is still quite a danger.

After a long call to Dish, my equipment is very old and outdate so that could be the problem. I have been with them for 16yrs so eligible for upgrade to Hopper for no additional charge per month so tech is coming to install that tomorrow. I was thinking that may fix the problem. Given your input Wally, TV is at least 10-12 yrs old so probably going to die soon anyway so I think I am going up to Best Buy today and get a new one. That way Dish tech can hook all up at one time and be done with it!

Definitely not on original agenda, but I thing it is the best thing to do!! I'm not even going to address the crystal lady message at this point.

Thanks for your input Wally!!

True. I replaced my TV recently and decided to go in for completely Made in India set. I opted for the 55" version at around US $560/-

I ended up with a Samsung 40" Smart TV for $250. I have a space limitation and that is about as big as I can fit in the corner. I didn't expect to get that size so cheap!! My dead Samsung is only like 33", not Smart (around 12 yrs old) and I know I paid a lot more for it.

I can't get it out of the box by myself, I just hope the Dish tech will help and get it set up too. I don't know what I'll do if he won't. I guess he'd have to to verify the Hopper is working correctly...

The price here is about the same for a Samsung 40" Smart TV. Setting it up is pretty easy but I think you will need help.

132 this morning. Slept late, Dish tech may be here by 8, need to feed cats... frazzled and I'm sure that is why bg is up. Then I spilled a pitcher of water for the cats all over the kitchen floor...

Yesterday's high was 35° today's forecast is 38°/26° and cloudy.

Via a recorded phone message Dish tech is scheduled to be here 11:30-12:15 sheesh, I was hoping to be at the early end of the quoted time of arrival. At least I can have a quiet breakfast now and calm down...

87 this morning. Our high yesterday was 57° and the low was 24° and it is supposed to be the same today. They are looking for rain closer to the coast but nothing here.

I hope you like your new TV Barbara. You should see a difference from your old one.

Another 132 this morning. Not sure why, I did oversleep again...

Yesterday's high was 32°, today's forecast is 41°/27° cloudy with maybe light snow this morning. I kind of doubt it will get that warm, they have been missing the mark a lot recently.

Nothing besides the cat house work on the agenda today.

112 this morning. I had stir fry last night and added some rice so it pushed my bg up a bit but not too bad. Our high yesterday was 58° and the low was warmer at 33° and it is supposed to get into the mid 60s for the next few days. No rain in sight here but they are expecting a foot of snow in the mountains. The predictions for here have been pretty much spot on lately. I find that the Weather Channel gives the best predictions for here so that is what I use.

Off in a bit for an appointment with my urologist. My PSA was higher at my last test so I will see what he says about that although the MRI I had came out good so I am interested in what he says.

129 this morning. 

Yesterday's high was 35°, today's forecast is 43°/31° with chance of rain showers in the morning and late evening.

Another long message from the crystal lady in response to my reply. Again with the "poor me, you raised prices, I can't afford them now, I'm not selling what I bought, so I want the low prices still....." Sheesh, not my problem you aren't selling them. She told me she wasn't putting them out as she wanted to keep them, how is she going to sell them that way??? It is to the point I really don't want to deal with her and said in my message back, maybe a break in buying, to get what she already has sold. She has a very expensive book on loan that I want back before I totally break ties. It is sad, from her messages, she has some real problems, some with reality itself.  She has no clue what it takes to run a business and yet now is talking about building a building on the highway for her business with a "Big Sign on the Highway". All I can do is shake my head..../end rant. Sorry, to rant, I just need to get it out as it is really bugging me in not a good way.

108 this morning. Our high yesterday was 58° again and it is supposed to be a warmer 64° today and now they are predicting a chance of rain this morning here but if we do get some it will not be a lot. They are expecting up to a foot of snow in the mountains though so that is a good thing.

The appointment with my urologist went well and even though the PSA was up a bit since the MRI came out good he is not that worried about it but will follow up to keep an eye on it.

Yeah, it sounds like your "crystal lady" needs to learn a bit more about running a business and that is something I have seen before. It is not as easy as some people think and not everybody is successful at it.

She really has no clue, so much so I really do feel sorry for her. I think she is wanting me to show her all the "ropes" which I am not willing to start doing, I'll never be rid of her if I do!

102 this morning. Our high yesterday was a warmer 66° and it is supposed to be the same today and warming up to around 70° tomorrow. We didn't see any rain or even a drizzle yesterday but they did get a bit over 12 inches in the mountains as expected so that is a good thing. The ski people are happy.
