The Coffee House

[JonA_CT]

This day has started as a doozy. Both kids (and my wife, maybe as a result) are acting out of their minds this morning.

The coffee had better do its job this morning, and hopefully no kids cross me this morning before it kicks in.

Everytime Gary turns on the internet streaming box, it is like “screw you cable company and the horse you rode in on”.

I'm seriously considering that. We had Direct for 6 yrs, till they kept jacking the price up (none of the premium channels) till it hit a $100 a month so we switched to Dish, now they've kept jacking it up till it's up to a $100 a month. It's like their whole business model is based on constantly adding new customers at a huge discount and driving away any long time customers. I'd drop them and switch except now I have an expensive provider specific dish on the RV.

We are dumping Dish this week, and going to an internet streaming service. I’ll get roughly the same channels with Hulu Plus as I did with Dish, a 50 hour Cloud DVR, and a bill that’s half as much.

Are RV parks more open in the south? My parents stopped paying for satellite for their RV because they are able to use it so sporadically.

Most parks I'm able to access the southern sky from the roof mounted unit. On those I can't I've got a carry out with a 100' of cable, that gives me a lot of flexibility.

I've looked at going with internet streaming through an unlimited cell plan, but we've been a lot of places where we didn't have cell service.

Are the southern parks more forgiving for the use of a chainsaw in obtaining optimal signal?

I have a lot of friends and family that have gone to streaming only. I can’t do it. I love my Verizon fios tv and dvr service and can’t imagine giving it up. For us it’s a relative bargain since we have the in law and the main house sharing the cost. I cancel and re-up HBO seasonally based on what’s on (GOT) and to take advantage of the “introductory” offers. Princess uses Netflix so we have that and I have Amazon Prime for the shipping, music for our Echo and photo storage so we get free shows there as well.

I cut out cable tv years ago. But still pay $60 for internet.

My home internet isn't fast enough apparently for uverse, I may try the Hulu though as I could use it with my phone on the road and our smart TV already have the app built in.

I guess I shot the artist this morning (but not the deputy) rainy, dark, cold, wet, ugly...

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is having hot chocolate this morning. Not that Swiss Miss stuff, but real hot chocolate de Mexico, Finamente Molido. Gary just prepared Maggie's breakfast of bananas and yogurt. Maggie is spoiled.

...Maggie is spoiled.

Did you want me to at least pretend to be surprised???

Presently it is 50F at 7:22 a.m. but it should reach into the 70's today. The sun is out, looks like another pleasant day. Gary has phone/internet/cable bundled and it isn't cost effective to unbundle. It was Fios but a company named Frontier recently purchased the system in La Mirada. Gary's internet streaming is free as it is running off the bundled internet service. The bundle is about $80 a month (no pay services).

Yes ... lol. (But she is so jammin' adorable that only a sub-human wouldn't/couldn't spoil her.)
