We started out the day by going to Red's. I wanted to try out the Solo one more time before sending it in. Fortunately I discovered that the problem wasn't the Solo, it was the stuff I was feeding it. A trip to Academy allowed me to acquire some stuff that would work. I'm a happy camper.
I went over to the car dealership to get the trunk pad and the mud flaps for the car. Apparently the service guy they introduced us to is useless.
We stopped at Office Depot for printer ink. We also picked up something called a Roku to allow us to watch Amazon Prime on the TV. Of course that will add another cable to fish in the wall for the TV. We took Lucy to Circle C on the way home. She had a good time doing retrieves. I had a strong following wind, so they were long retrieves.
When we got home we ate lunch. Then it was time to attack the TV. The package we got Saturday contained the new cable (the second book for John came today).
The TV fought us all of the way. We had to prop it next to the wall because the power cord doesn't detach. That made accessing the wall the string cable difficult. It was really hard to get the new cables (optical, HDMI, and LAN) through the bottom cable wall plate. I had to cut one of the inductors off the HDMI cable in order to do it. Twice I had to fish the string through the wall.
Finally, after three hours or more of struggle, it was done. As we were testing everything out, we fouind out that one of the HDMI cables was labelled wrong. Fuck. That meant taking the TV off the wall to change them. After that everything works as expected.
When we were finished Ellen fixed me a couple of Mojitos. They were really good even though she spilled half of one and I had to clean it up.
All in all I'm really tired, but pretty happy about how everything worked out.
