Sounds like pretty nasty weather, Q.
Terry, totally understand about the internet. Is there a town nearby where you can ask the businesses what internet they use? Hope you are getting settled in nicely. Yeah, moving, it's a lot of work.
Mrs. Wuzz - I hope he's taking you out for dinner Or at least you are cooking up something tastey and fancy.

I think the weather Q & 0mg are getting is what we'll have tomorrow. At least we got to ride today. Penny was in a grumpy mood. I think she senses the weather changing. She was OK when I was riding her, but she was touchy and grumpy while getting groomed. And when we went to take the horses out of the pasture before riding, she didn't want to come. Usually she follows Jasmine right up to the gate. This time, she hung back. I guess she knows she'll be in her stall if the weather changes, so she wanted to stay out and eat all the grass she could get while she could.
Hi Everyone!!!
I've come back home. I only made a couple of glider dinners in advance and only took two days worth of meds.
Still no internet at Terry's. We tried for hours to get a set up, but haven't found a way to get what she needs. So frustrating because one company came out this morning and flatly told Terry that they didn't cover that area even though they said that they did over the phone. I don't understand. It's not like her house is out in the sticks. Literally hours were spent being transferred from office to office at AT&T. Finally got one guy that cared enough to set up conference calls as he transferred me from department to different departments to explain the situation to the next in an effort to get a setup for Terry. Then the call got dropped. We'll get her online eventually.
Since she is without internet, she doesn't want to spoil the party by not being able to respond through her phone or even "like" the posts - so she doesn't want to look yet. I haven't been able to look yet or put a post up either. Please be patient with us.
I haven't been able to back-read posts yet either, but I will tomorrow. Right now, I need to decompress. The last few days have been very physically challenging for all three of us.

Rave, thanks for the update. That's frustrating about the Internet service! I sure hope that gets sorted out soon.
I just had a thought about Terry's Internet service. I think some people here who are out in the sticks have a satellite dish that they use.
The satellite dish internet may not be what it seems. Like they will tell you a fast download speed but they won't mention the slow upload speed so watch out for that sort of thing.
We have internet service that is very high speed and is based on a tower being up on Eagle Ridge. There is a little dish on the backside of the house that points that way and a cable from the dish into the office. Sort of like cell phone service but not too bad of a price at $50. It is rarely out but can go out if there is a problem at the tower like high winds messing with it on the ridge or if it is snowing really heavily up there. We have been thrilled with the speed and the service.
Here is one for Morgan County, Indiana.

Also with satellite, they put a cap on how much you download. You download too much and they slow down your internet and charge you extra.... Of coarse you may not dl 500 gigabytes in a month (or however much their cap is )

Sorry i havent responded sooner but still no internet and having a hard tme finding a provider out here. I havent looked at the party thread yet because i cant like on my phone or even quote a post so i cant respond properly. Its very hard on a phone. Im sorry to spoil your fun.
May be that satellite is your only route. We've got Hugesnet out where I work and it's not that bad. About the speed of a fast DSL most days but there is a daily limit. We run a business off it and rarely exceed.
DW says thanx for all the birthday wishes. She wanted to cook home so I bought her a leg of lamb because that's what she wanted. When we celebrate a birthday here the celebrant picks the menu, in or out, for the whole weekend and I make sure that happens. Family and friends alike. We're both great cooks and enjoy it so it's usually in. Tomorrow it's my world famous smoked meatloaf and trimmings. Sunday is still open so we may eat out after Church. Up to her.
Unk, I always know I can count on you for an elaborate display. Dw says thanx. She really enjoyed it.

Good night, all. I looked for a Halloween photo, and this was the closest I had.
Morning everyone.!
Wuzz happy birthday to your wife (a bit late i know). Wass too tired to type yesterday lol and was sleeping. Only opening my eyes to like and check mail.
Seems like Virgin Galactic is the most useless company in the world. They even planned trips for next year and be prepared to lose a few rich people (since they are paying) lol.
They think space is something that works like the usual companies and the others (nasa, OC, spacex) are stupid who test for so many years and use a LOT of money.
They will have the most dangerous (lethal) equipment on the planet.
About Terry. If she has the house i don't worry, internet will come when it comes.

I was kind of busy yesterday between visiting Dracula, regular blood tests, cooking and cleaning, so a belated Happy Birthday to Mrs. Wuzz and I hope you both enjoy the weekend.
It's cold and raining hard here today. Yesterday was kind of cool, too, and we didn't get a whole lot of sun.
I don't know, Tritium. Does everyone forget what happened when NASA and the Russians first started with rockets? Explosion after explosion at launch or soon after. It took them years to get something that worked properly and even then things went wrong. I think both accidents, this week, are simply nothing more than bumps in the road. Any company or government agency, Virgin, SpaceX, NASA or Russia or whoever, can't afford to lose millions, and people, with things going wrong and they are probably working close to the "edge" between needing to get it going quickly, keep it safe and develop better and more efficient systems.
Now, if they knew there was significantly higher risk and went ahead anyway trying to meet some deadline, that's another story. My understanding is that Virgin was trying a new engine AND a new fuel. That was probably the straw that made the thing go boom. Maybe that new engine would only work with the new fuel. In any event two new variables probably wasn't a good decision, kind of like launching at below freezing for the Shuttle. I'm sure they did a lot of ground/static tests, but still it must have added a fair amount of risk. Unfortunately, added risk like that is also part of the game with space.
I hope Terry's internet situation gets resolved soon, that has got to be pretty frustrating. Satellite or microwave might be a good solution, but satellite can get kind of expensive. We have FiOS here but I'm seriously thinking of changing to Comtrash. My cable/internet bill has gone up 50% with FiOS since we moved in here and there was no special price when we subscribed.

Happy Belated Birthday

Yep - that's exactly how they do it. My late husband (a former scientist on the Apollo mission) bid on an FAA project. Mind you, he was one man working out of his basement. He got the contract because he was the lowest bidder. But, he got the job done and did it well.
I call 'em "little white bugs" here. Yesterday, I drove through what was darn near a whiteout on the way home. But, it was less than three miles from my house, so I wasn't concerned. I could almost find my way home by scent.Also with satellite, they put a cap on how much you download. You download too much and they slow down your internet and charge you extra....
Celti - You nailed it right there. She likes to use Netflix rather than TV. That would use too much data and her stream would slow down to a useless crawl. Hopefully, we'll be able to get AT&T to send out an engineer to hook up to a "back office". That is what I was trying to get accomplished yesterday.
Here, it's cold as ... well, I could give all kinds of comparisons, but not one of them would be fit for mixed company.
Suffice it to say that it was 28 degrees when I first got up this morning. But, it's purty out there even though the leaves are mostly gone. Most of 'em blew off yesterday in the high winds that tore through here. 
Good morning, Peeps.
A belated Happy Birthday to Mrs. Wuzz !!!!!
Raven, that storm is going to hit us today and tomorrow. It's supposed to converge with a storm off the coast and make a real mess around here. Gotta love living near the ocean....and I do.
I hope that Terry gets an Internet connection soon.

I'm glad DW got to enjoy her birthday. Unfortunately she woke me at 2:30 this morning to take her to the er. She's been admitted to the hospital and it looks like she'll be there a few days.
