Wednesday

Yesterday, sometime between 3 and 6 pm, I lost 4 tv channels.  My Comcast account provides me a bascillion channels and best I can tell, all are working except for 4.  Weird.  I have two TV's and each has a TiVo and the situation is the same in both set ups.  The 4 channels are the HD echos of 4 local channels.  104, 109, 112, 114.  None of those work - all the rest do including 4, 9, 12, and 14.

I called Comcast and she reset stuff and did other stuff and nothing worked so Comcast guy coming out tomorrow. It's a problem that makes no sense but also one that is not critical.  I missed Jeopardy last night but, I'll change the recording and get it tonight.

I had a wonderful morning swim.  Half a mile plus some extra laps for good measure.  I think I have the timing down.  If I don't get up until the alarm goes off at 6:45, that puts me in the pool just after 7 and gives me plenty of time for a good swim.  My regular pool only has early morning swims on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.  There's another pool, Queen Anne, that has 6-7:30 for laps every day.  I might try them some Tuesday or Thursday when I need the middle of the day for something else.

Today is the farmers market up in the park.  I need pickles.  Plus, I want to peek in the window of the new - not-yet-opened - cheese shop.  I might even stop in that new Italian place and see if they have something antipasta-y for lunch.

The Mariner game is at 1. They won again last night.  Weird.

A few weeks ago we developed a weird problem with our cable box. whenever we would push the On Demand button, the box would reboot. Then we would be stuck with the tv not knowing what channel anything was or what was on for 20 minutes or more.

TW had to send a guy out to replace the box. It seems to be working now, no idea what caused the issue in the first place.

Comcast around here changes my lineup on the minor channels every couple of weeks, and it shows up in TiVo messages. They are rarely channels I watch.

Mariners sure made up for their heretical winning streak Wednesday.

Comcast does the same here and I also get TiVo messages. I'm not following what this has to do with my losing main channels. The ones currently missing are the local ABC and PBS channels - Comcast has not changed them. I just can't get them.

And yep, the manager had a stroke and the Mariners lost.

Oh sorry. Those 100-series numbers threw me off. Down here all the HD echos are in the 700s. Anything 100-299 is the low-cal version.
