Not working on work for a change this evening.
But the lack of real exercise has made itself evident.
I looked at my feet and both ankles were pretty swollen.
Ashlan says that it is from sitting too much.

She also informed me they are called Cankles – when the calf and ankle become one.

Since I was not working on work, and the DTV switch is tomorrow, I thought it time to try and connect the 1978 black and white to the latest technology. Using a pigtail kind of thing I was able to get all of the connections successfully made. So we should have all working TVs – right? Wrong! Because the old TV had a built-in antenna, and I had to pirate one from one of the other TVs to see if it would work.

Now we don’t really need 3 TVs, but they each serve their purpose. And now that they are all tethered to boxes, they are not really mobile. The black and white is the back-up alarm clock, and morning traffic reporter. Pretty good for a TV that hashad no remote or anything more than an off and on switch. We connected it to one of those timers to turn lights on and off while on vacation – and voila. The small color is used for a lot of sports viewing, visible from the kitchen and dining/work table. The “large” (by our modest standards) TV is in the living room. Movies and lying on the couch for viewing. The large TV is currently antennaless. Could still be used for DVDs.

Guess I’ll have to go shopping and try to walk out of my cankles.
