So I went and got a digital antenna. I went with an RCA. It's 8K, 4K, 55 mile, SmartBoost, Multi-Directional Reception, blah, blah blah. It only cost $30. I didn't even have to put it in the window. It picks up around 50 channels. Most of them junk but it's the same junk I was paying for. Add those to the free Samsung TV channels and I have over 250 channels of stuff I'll never watch. But at least I'm not paying for it every month. Plus there are several 100% free apps that have much of the same crap you get with on-demand from concast. Same old movies and such plus I have Amazon Prime video and don't even use that. You can even pay to watch individual movies on youtube which I never do but is an option. I'm just mad at myself for giving concast that $90 a month for so long.

I get the local channels and live local morning news which is what I care about.

Agreed. We went Sunday and turned in the box. Now all we have is Comcast internet at 900 mb which is still $80 per month but way better than $200. I can't tell you how many years I've paid that for.

I compare manicuring to the bi-annual visit with the in-laws. Eventually your jars will be filled your reward ... and eventually their visit ends ... but it always feels as if time is very slowly moving backwards in the interim.

No. The only thing I have her do is wet trimming. We have a good system. I chop branches, she trims, and I hang them and put them in the drying closet. She doesn't use scissors. She just plucks the leaves off with her hands. Works fine, and I don't care if it's trimmed super close. It doesn't take long this way.

Then later I pluck and jar the buds.

Got the Halloween stuff put up, did my annual Amazon shopping to replace lights that didn't make it to this year.
We've never gotten a trick or treater here but we're always prepared. If one ever showed up they'd get hella hooked up. But I'm in the foothills. Everyone goes where the houses are closer together. I grew up in the city though, and my dad was a holiday nut. He'd put our big house speakers in the windows and blare scary Halloween sounds. Some kids were too scared to even come to the door.
