Good morning GH.  A quick glance out the Weather Window shows the sun on the rise and partially hazy skies.  Current temperature on the desktop is 69 degrees, so it is cooler outside than in right now.  I should mention that after running the A/C for a whole day, Mary and I were afraid that we would have to call a repairman in the middle of the hottest day.  Fortunately, I realized that there might be a circuit breaker in the box in the man cave, and sure enough there was, and it was set to the off position.  One quick flip and voila, the outside unit came on and the air began to cool.  Sugar the Weather Dog and the rest of us can now rest easier.  Sugar is once again in lazy mode, and of course, when she felt a slight switch in the outdoor temperature during her afternoon walk yesterday, she was ready to head home.  Now all I have to remember to do is to turn off that same circuit breaker this fall and cover the unit.  Had some difficulties with my new internet radio, and after being on the phone with the cable people for over an hour, (a part of my life I can never get back), I full realized that they were all incompetent boobs.  One even suggested that they would need to cut my speed back to 15 Mbps vs. 30 Mbps so that the radio could work with the network.  Finally, I used the online chat service for the maker of the radio who assured me that the cable people were softballs, something I had suspected, but had not confirmed.  The nice young lady at the maker told me how to do a factory reset which confirmed another suspicion, the unit was defective.  So, I arranged to ship the unit back to the people who sold it to me and since they would only reimburse $5.64 for shipping, the whole episode cost me $.66.  I will be getting a new one, and I hope it works.  Seems that Adam, Mary, Steph and I are not alone when it comes to defective products and incompetent boobs.  Meanwhile, it is...Tea time.
