Sat TV Again

It was 46 this morning with clear blue skies.  The high for the day was around 72.  The thermometer in the sun hit 95.

When we backed into this site Saturday and saw this, I  thought no way will
 we be able to get sat TV.  We fired up the dish and on search mode 3 it locked on to a satellite with a signal strength of 90 on one transponder.  However when the wind would blow the picture would pix elate.  On Monday the reception started getting worse and finally quit on Tuesday.
Wednesday morning I tried a new search but it could not find the satellite.  When this happened before, the main board had to be flashed,  I hooked up the computer and the information on the main board was removed and the new started to install and then the errors started.  I had done this before but with my old laptop.  Now the dish is dead.

At one time we had put a portable dish and tripod in the MH but I thought they had been removed during spring cleaning.  So Thursday was spent searching the bays, setting up the portable dish and running cables through the windows to the receivers.

Now we're good to go.

We got the grill out and Beryl did pork chops and raw fried potatoes for supper.

Temps are supposed to continue to rise through the weekend with the highs approaching 80 and the lows around 60.

Catch ya later.
