Morning everyone.
I really chuckled at your stories this morning....
Betty..can't wait to see what goodies you bring back from your shopping trip.
You always find something.

Had the antenna man here yesterday and he had to replace the power boost on the antenna. I think it must have been hit by lightning during all those storms we had. So then he put one of those DT converter boxes on the TV too. The ones that they are telling everyone they need by Feb 09. if you have an antenna.I see you get a $40.00 coupon towards it in the U.S. Well..here in Canada they cost $140.00..and no coupon from the government. BUT...the difference in reception is magnificent! It looks just like HD and I receive several more channels I could never get before. It is just amazing! All these new toys..high speed internet..great TV reception..with no ongoing monthly charges...and my son is working on fixing the hot tub..(replacing the spa pak and pump)..should be up and running soon. I am in heaven! The name of the converter box is Channel Master CM 7000.. I see they are only about $70.00 in the U.S...
I call it the "magic box"..LOL

Today all my family are coming for a BBQ party in the garden..sure hope we don't get the thundershowers they are calling for.

You all have a great day.
Cheers,
