Back in Ludington for a couple of weeks and visiting Frank & Beth while they're here. We had a good trip over with a nice stop in Shipshewana, IN for Ben's Pretzels & a bike ride on the Pumpkinvine. Been warm with nice weather since we've been here. Some humidity, too. Seems a cold front came through, yesterday, so today's a nice day outside.
We're here for another week. Hopefully, we'll get to see Gordy before we leave. Get the trailer & truck washed, too.
Only item of interest was - once again - with our DishTV service. Last year DishTV sorta held us up from changing our service address & receiving local channels for the Ludington area until we agreed to have a DishTV service rep come out and "service" our satellite antenna. Got angry over that as our satellite antenna was up and had locked on to all the satellites it need. We finally relented and agreed. Then canceled the "service" appointment an hour or two later when we had gotten our locals and knew they were coming in just fine.
This year, that process went off without a problem. But once we were switched to local channels, we found the local stations (ABC, CBS, FOX & NBC) had dropped their channels with DishTV over a fee dispute. No problem. We raised our broadcast TV antenna and got locals that way. Then, after checking the TV Guide app, realized there was really nothing on any of those local stations we were interested in watching, anyway.
You have to wonder just what these people are thinking when they get into these fee disputes. Do local station owners really think they're hurting DishTV or us by blocking a TV signal I can get for free over the air? Makes me want to print out that "You must be some kind of 'special' stupid." sign you see from time-to-time on Facebook and present a copy to each of the local station owners.
Anyway, that's our excitement. Everyone try to have a good weekend. Ours may be a little wet, but we plan to have a good time, anyway. See ya! David
