Thought about it but since it was an 18 story hotel and they had several conventions going on I decided to forego the proper way of removal. Besides I did not have that much rope to tie to it

That could have been a nice drop!

Finally getting to the end of the tunnel .... yep the house re-painting project is almost a wrap have only the front door with its trim to see it complete.

Talk about sweating ones balls off, yes I was painting in the early morning hours to beat the heat ... ehem that idea although good on paper did not translate that well to real life.
Pushed on nonetheless, and the back of the house is done and all the nooks and crannies where my outside electrical panels and services are is cut in and painted up to each device.
So looking pretty slick and boy you can tell who else in the neighborhood needs to paint  ... wonder if the HOA is going to get tough with them, since they made such an issues out of mine?

Guarantee that I will be at the next monthly meeting to raise hell if there is no additional painting by other residents and landlords.

What is good for the goose ....

That could have been a nice drop!

Indeed 14 foot fiberglass omni antenna over the side of an 18 story hotel that would have be just shy of newsworthy

How cute we now seem to have a new companion: known as Temporomandibular disorder (TMD)

Some times I wonder ....

Don't you keep the teeth too much joined during your days - or nights? No wisdom teeth around deciding to come?

  You might need to get a Very good bite Guard. From What I have been told You might have some Stress in your Life! 

[Jherrith]

Do have one of them but when I use it at night it dries the mouth out quite bad and I wind up waking up even more to drink something to relieve it

Stress ... maybe there might be some ... I do tend to take things too seriously on more then one occasion. Difficult for me to let it go, but I do try so there is that ....

As to wisdom teeth, nope all gone as in decades ago.

Well, uncovered a "oops" how did that slip by us error yesterday. Quite annoying to, it was since it was a customer that said to remove certain services from the quote which I did, but forgot to remove it from the written proposal, sent it to the boss and he missed it as well .... so now we are on the hook for something they originally said no, we will do it ourselves.

Why, are we doing it .... they complained about the system acting "wonky" ... yep that is a technical term ...

The annoying part is that the system was installed in January and they waited till April to make the comment .... WTF .... and here it is August.

Could not have been that bad if it took you this long to get around to figuring out something was off.

Anyway we went out there to see what was up and read the repeater first to be able to see what freqs were programmed in there and what do we get but a password protected code plug. Ask for the password and oh my God we do not give that out  ... well, then how are we to verify that what you say is in there is what the duplexer and pre-selector are tuned too ... never was given the password ... wow is all I can say; why because I deal with agencies and groups much higher up the food chain than a piffling little school district.

Federal, State and Local government and other commercial groups plus Police and Fire dispatch and vehicles. I can get the access needed to do my job at every one of these places and yet a piffling little school district is going to balk ... Go take that long walk on a short pier and don't forget your concrete waders ...

Fine whatever frelling IT (Idiots in Training) department ... was at least given the freqs by them which without them you can say bye bye because there is nothing we can do ... what makes that interesting is that I was given freqs much earlier in this project and still have the email and the freqs in the email do not match what they said it was to be tuned to ... imagine that ... to add even more color to this ... why was the repeater beaconing ... it is a single repeater .... what or who is it beaconing to?

Oh well by the time we got what they said the freq were the tray was out and getting checked and with the freqs I was given months ago  .... not even close ... no wonder it doesn't work, oh but wait these are the freqs you need to use. As mentioned we work with Federal systems  ... stop insulting us.

Turns out the pre-selector was tuned to the second set of freqs they provided. The duplexer ... never touched at all ... really  ....

Imagine that ... well did what we could and now if it doesn't work still they are on their own ... if you are not going to cooperate then we can't help you. Just saying ....
