I bought a Direct TV receiver from a guy a few weeks ago and when I tried to hook it up, well, it didn't work.
So I contacted the guy and told him about it and asked if he still had the other receiver he had for sale. Yes, he does. We went back and forth and he finally said to go ahead and throw the receiver I have in the trash and he will just give me the other one.
Fast forward. Time constraints. I have not had time to meet up with this person and get the other receiver because I have been too busy working on the trailer. So, I contacted him again this morning and he writes back and tells me: I have had 4 other offers on it but I have been saving it for you. If you do not show up on Monday to get it, then I am going to sell it".
In other words, screw the fact that he sold a defective receiver, he's going to make his money regardless. Which pretty much tells me when he gets this receiver back, if he indeed does honor his word, he is going to sell it.
I'm not sorry to say: whatta jackass.
Whatever.
Took the dogs for a long walk/run this morning in the woods. I was able to let the Danes run free, but I cannot yet let Sophie run wild. I did let her go, on the property, this morning to see what she would do. She took off. I followed after her, giving her firm voice commands to come back. She did, indeed, finally listen. So, just giving it more time and some day I will also be able to let her run without have the fear of her just running off and never seeing her again.
It felt good to get a good heart rate going and enjoy the cool, fresh air and hear the breeze whispering through the pines. Lord willing, I will be coming up here next weekend and probably staying Saturday through Monday morning. There are quite a number of things I need to do and fix next time I am up here, or at least get started on. I forgot coffee cups. I would like a wall clock. This, that and the other thing. Some air fresheners will definitely help.
Well that's it. Time to pack it up and head on out.
