Gosh.
Did lots & lots of things yesterday.
Cricked my neck before getting out of bed, which was a great start.
Bought 4 new ditchfinder cheapo tyres for the ZeitMobile.
Had my hair cut.
Bought some pearl barley for my dotty old mother.
Drilled n holes in the tin sheeting under the new felting on the ZeitGhost pater's shed roof & nailed said felt to the underlying timber of varying structural strength.
Cleaned most of the black tar adhesive stuff off the step ladder using white spirit.
Installed a new satellite feed from the dish in the boxroom (don't ask) to the tv in the "living room". Did this up a ladder tacking the CT100 to the bargeboard... it's really easy working up a ladder when you can't look upwards very easily.
The most exciting bit was sitting on the bathroom windowsill tacking the cable over the lean-to extension (it's got a fragile roof).
All I have to do now is two crimp connectors on the CT100 (F plugs, the invention of the devil or some demented Septic), and change the LNB for a quad lnb.
Simples.Comment

I'm glad I don't have to install dishes & cables & stuff for a living.
Now into the TPD Time Machine to read the bits I didn't bother with last night.
I may be some time.
Though that's only relative of course.Comment
