PS--->Out of the 5 things to get accomplished this weekend, we did 4 and a half. Got the Universal passes, got the FL car insurance, got the model paint (no framing at this time...still investigating what we *really* want it to look like), got the grill cover, chain, and cinderblock, and mulch. No anchors and screws yet...have to check weight. Also, WE GOT DIRECTV! With TIVO! Hopefully the satellite guy comes today. This afternoon I'll try to cook-up a drive to sling into the new Tivo and give us more hours of recording time. Also, we got a china cabinet (which I've just learned won't be delivered until October 15th, as it is not in stock). So, with the China cabinet that's actually a thing we got accomplished that wasn't on the list! All that, and Court was sick with a bad cold all weekend. Not too shabby.
As a side note, the DirecTivo does NOT take a broadband connection as my current Tivo does...so it'll need a phoneline. That sucks, because I had to cobble a solution together for the Tivo to work without a phoneline (using an ethernet card and wireless-ethernet convertor) and now I need a phoneline on a wall which doesn't have one anywhere near it. Solution: Ebay, and a wireless phone jack device...turns any power outlet into a phone jack. We'll see how good it works when it arrives. Wish me luck!
