Subj : flood stuff was: Vacation To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Mar 12 2020 12:29:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>>> and reminders are always good... ;) You might even hear something NB>>>> closer to the rescan date about what time each will be happening.... BM>>> Yes: with me sometimes with the repeat I'll remember a detail I didn't BM>>> catch before. As for the rescan, have a couple of people also looking BM>>> for the date as they will have to rescan their TVs also. NB>>> So someone's likely to catch it... ;) BM>> And did: March 13th. Well, if it doesn't go BM>> right we know what to blame! NB>> But Friday the 13th is a LUCKY day.... At least my sister would NB>> say so, she turned 13 on a Friday the 13th... ;) BM> And my parents were married on a Friday the 13th. ...My joke to BM> people worried about Friday the 13th is "You know what's worse? BM> Saturday the 14th!!". NB> Or, when Friday the 13th comes on a Monday (Tues, Wed, Thurs, NB> etc)... That would really screw things up!! As for hearing more about the rescan, as I write this it's the morning of the 12th, so the rescan is scheduled for tomorrow; haven't heard/seen anything additional. Guess if the station isn't 'on the air' tomorrow morning will be doing a rescan! And speaking of rescanning, there have been a few posts in the MythTV Forum about rescanning without going through the whole thing. There is, done by entering transport numbers (the channel frequencies) -- what I had tried was just the channels (entering "6" instead of 82-88 MHz). Even then there are some other tweaks needed -- easier to just sit back and let the machine do the rescan and put in all the numbers. Biggest problem was like I had here with repeater stations (locally WHBF has it's main channel on 4 with a translator [repeater to me] at 47). BM>> BM> Backup plans are always good. Have read where "having a backup plan BM> means a lack of commitment to the original plan", which on the surface BM> I'd agree with, but things will break, something unanticipated will BM> occur, etc. NB> I think that lack of commitment idea is just a bit too strong... NB> :) OTOH, planning tons of detailed contingency plans is NB> definitely overkill in the other direction... ;) It doesn't hurt NB> to have a clue what one might do, should the bridge need to be NB> crossed later, but the detail certainly can wait until one is a NB> lot closer to that potential bridge... A little planning for the NB> future, in a few possible options, can be wise; planning in great NB> detail for an unlikely future is a waste of time and energy.... :) I am fully committed to all changes! ...So far found what doesn't work easily: sticking the solar cell in the window; doesn't work because of the UV block stuff in the glass. Next step will be testing the one window that doesn't have the UV block and gets sunshine most of the time. If that doesn't work will check about outside; running the wires to inside is the big problem with that option. May end up with charging off the grid. BM> My pens generally don't seem too fearful as I try to keep them all BM> snuggled together in a container. NB> Much handier that way, too... ;) They seem to like it that way and for me resonably organized. NB> ... The solution to a problem changes the problem.
