We woke up at 8 and got up to do pet stuff and have breakfast. When that was done I went over to the garage to check on the wifi extender and the phone amplifier. It turned out that the extender had died. Ellen ordered another one. I moved the amplifier to the inside of the apartment. That improved things somewhat, but the basic problem is that the hardware is flaky.
After that Ellen, Melissa, and I went to Central Market. It was packed. There was no where to park. We ended up parking in the boot store's parking lot. Of course that meant there were a lot of people inside. That made getting around inside a chore. We bought fish, bread, and bakery goods. Then we left and went home.
By then it was almost noon. John and Melissa came over and we had lunch and talked. After surfing John said he was up for working on the TV. I told him to keep surfing and I went to work clearing the area in front of the TV. I moved furniture, disconnected and untangled wires, and vacuumed up all of the dust. It took quite a while.
After that John helped me take down the TV. I was going to do the wire work myself, but he wanted to help. We removed all of the old and unused wires from the wall. Then we disconnected the unused wires from the preamp and connected the new cable to the blu-ray. Finally we strung the three new HDMI cables in the wall.
That process took hours. We were both tired when it was done. The last thing we did was partially unpack the new TV and move the wall mounts from the old TV to the new one. John went back to surfing and drinking wine. I spent some time installing the new bottom wire cover. Then I joined everyone for dinner after making a milk punch.
After dinner we talked and surfed together for an hour or so. Then John and Melissa went back to the apartment. We surfed for the rest of the evening. TV was not an options.
