Customer service

There was a thunder storm with a lot of wind I think last Friday and then a heat wave over the weekend.  Our internet service became problematic.

Off when we wanted it to be on but then check back later because it might very well be back on.  No service at all on Saturday, off and on on Sunday, then running perfectly when the service technician came by on Monday.

Off and on again on Tuesday, off all day Wednesday, off and on on Thursday, then working perfectly again when the second technician came by on Friday.

He worked for a while then called in a third tech who arrived at about dinner time on Friday.

It is working right now.

I wonder if the problem might be related to what I rode past on Roselawn Avenue towards the end of my ride today on a day when it was just a tiny bit too hot for a somewhat past his best if used by date bicyclist to be out there riding.

The branch is clearly leaning against the cable TV/internet wire and then touching the ground.  I don't think that is our direct line but it is definitely in our neighborhood, only about five blocks from our house.  I just cannot imagine that that branch can be anything but not good for our hopes of high quality cable TV and internet service.

Here's the mid-June corn report.

The old cars are in town this weekend for the big show at the Fairgrounds.

I rode by on Como and even that amount of exposure was a bit too much.

Nice day, hot, not too windy.
