I woke up at 7:30 and went back to sleep until 8. Then it was get up, pet stuff, and breakfast. After that I surfed while Ellen finished getting the old computer configured as a hotspot. That took awhile because it kept wanting to do more updates, even though it said it was finished yesterday.
When she got it done we went to the apartment to test. Without the antenna there's no signal from the house inside the apartment or garage. I hooked the antenna to the laptop in the garage. We got a good signal. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. That meant it was time to finish the install. I went inside for lunch first.
After lunch I put the brackets on the shelf and attached the shelf to the wall. Then I measured out where the hole for the wire should go and drilled the hole in the wall. I pushed the wire through the wall and attached the wall plate. Finally I stapled the excess wire onto the outside of the apartment framing and cleaned up.
The process had involved disconnecting the antenna, so I had Ellen come back out to check things out. They didn't work. Apparently disconnecting the antenna causes the computer to revert to it's internal antenna. Ellen had to mess around a bit to get it working again. It's doing fine now.
After that Ellen wrote up some instructions which I added to the instruction sheet I'm writing for Isaac. About that time the Mazda guy called to say a 2018 Mazda 6 had come in. I told him we'd come by after dinner.
Ellen fixed pancakes and bacon for dinner. Then we went to the Mazda place. The new car isn't as nice as the Audi, but it's much improved over the old one. They didn't have the dressed up model I wanted, but they'll call when they do.
We also stopped at Toyota. The new Camry looks really nice. We're going to drive one next week.
When we got home it was shoot up the cats, surf, and go to bed.
