Total
frustration the past 2 weeks with our internet. It has been up and
down and almost useless. I have called so many times to the help desk
that I think they cringe when they hear who it is.
They
finally came yesterday and replaced my modem with a high speed modem
and router combined and thought they had corrected all the problems.
So, the same thing today, up and down, like a yo-yo.
A
speed test shows speeds less than I had with the old modem. I called
again and was cut off part way through the call. I gave up and went
on to something else more productive.
I
am slowwwly cleaning up some things around here. I worked on the shed
behind the garage for two days, then moved on to the workbench in the
garage. Two days barely made a dent in it.
One
of the things I have been doing is getting rid of all those boxes you
save from computers, printers, etc which I have kept "just in
case". I took a bunch of those I had flattened to the recycle
center today but my recycle bin is filling up again.
I
have given up on trying to fix the slides out on the RV after putting
them in and out several times and changing the fluid each time the
slides were in. The bedroom slide works fine but the living room
slide will go out just fine but won't budge coming in.
I
have made an appointment to take it in next Wednesday. I suspect it
needs a new pump. Pricey!
Adding
to my frustration has been the failure of my desktop computer. It
just wouldn’t turn on. All of my trouble shooting efforts and
Google help did no good. I eventually went to Costco and bought a
unit similar to the one that quit only more powerful and with the
Windows 10 operating system. This of course has it’s own
frustrations. I have managed to get most things working except for
my Verizon email. It rejects my password and Frontier who took over
for Verizon can’t seem to figure out what I want.
Frustrating.
I
am not without email as I have my laptop and Microsoft does have
Outlook with Windows 10 as email which I HATE!
Anyway.
On to better things for now.
Tomorrow
we will meet some of the relatives for a small get together at the
beach. I am sure it will be crowded because of the Labor Day weekend.
I hope the weather stays nice. It has cooled off in the evenings now.
Days are still nice.
It
is time to start thinking about the desert trip. I need to work on
meal planning and cooking assignments. I usually get that done before
October so everyone can plan meals.
