I phoned ComCast yesterday. One of my customers who has become a good friend over the years works in their customer service department. She's my "ace in the hole" for me when I need to work with them. So I phoned her and left her a phone message. By the time the day was over, I had an appointment scheduled for installation of a different channel box than I had originally been shipped, and all of this will happen after I return from my end of the month workshops, enabling DH to have time to build the new stand that he says he needs to make for all of this to look appropriate in his eyes. Oy veh! The things I do for peace in my house - LOL.
Captain Phil Harris
I have a day to get my charms made, fired and enameled for the PMC Conference. A day is stretching it a bit - I can't work into the evening on Wednesday because I have to go to "Despicable Me" that evening with Chickie. I got the image of my sigil done last night and printed out on the photo emulsion film this morning. I'll make the PPP plate today (either within a half-hour now or as soon as I get to the shop) and I'll start working on the copper tonight while watching "Dangerous Catch". It's Captain Phil's final episode. He died earlier this year and was one of my favorite Captains on the show, so I don't want to miss this. Hopefully I'll have at least one batch of copper ready to fire overnight.
Stage 9 - Gotta Love the Alps!
And Le Tour de France resumes today in the Alps. Stage 9 had the hors-cat Col de la Madeleine and that's a real nasty climb of 25km with a 2000 meter summit. The major steep climbs are at the lower reaches, it mellows out a bit towards the top, but it's still nasty. My favorites are the Pyrenees and we get to those at the end of the week. But we have Tuesday and Wednesday in the Alps and mountain stages are always great!
