Good point Fly. A few bucks more. Several other benefits: employment, tax revenue, multiple menu choices you don't get at home, no shopping, set-up and clean-up, etc….We'll try to go out more often.

We never received a letter from Comcast telling us they were going to encrypt the clear QAM local HD channels we had been getting all this time but we did just receive a "free" DTA (Digital Transport Adapter) [Standard Definition only] brought by UPS. Three hours of phone calls to Comcast later we found out they are encrypting all the local channels on Limited Basic soon (conflicting info on when – ether mid-September or mid-October ) and we got them to send us 3 free HD-DTAs that we will need to install on our TVs to get past their encryption. Free for two years then $1.99 ea every month after that…
If this is an act of reprisal for inspection related issues, then it would follow that it was done by a fellow property owner. That would be harder to swallow than mischievous delinquency.
Perhaps a flyer posted in some high traffic areas asking anyone with information to contact the sheriff's department.
Someone must be hearing something about this.I have had a number of excellent meals there. I like how the menu varies often, and have never been disappointed with their dinners.
There are a number of very good restaurants in our area, but they need the support of us weekenders in order to survive. We have lost a lot of excellent restaurants in the area due to lack of business – Tallihan's, the Weather Station, Blue Coyote, and the restaurant and Lube Room at the Dorrington hotel to name a few. C'mon people, give the local businesses some support. It might cost a couple of bucks more than preparing meals at home, but worth it to keep the local businesses alive.I just finished hooking up a security camera and will say that it was a chore because I ddon'ta understand network activity very well. Bottom line is that it works ans i may even add some cameras down the line.
SteveTonight I talked my wife into a set of outdoor camera security system.
Especially that graffiti picture and I want to keep an eye on the snow level.
It's the only way to protect yourself.
We drove by on the way to the dump. They did a number on it with spray paint. I talked to the wife and they think it might be someone that's not happy with lot inspections. I guess her husband is involved with the inspections. They were home when it happened but sleeping and didn't hear anything. The car was in the garage which might be good or might be bad. I have a hunch the culprits didn't think anyone was home and if the car would have been out they might not have graffiti'd the place. On the other hand, they might have gotten the car if it was left out. They called the sheriff but the sheriff didn't think there was much chance of catching the culprits. Hard to believe we have people like the graffiti bandits up here. I took a picture.
We love this place for breakfast. We had dinner there and had too much raw garlic in every dish. We will go back. I think the previous chef left who was awesome.

No, I haven't seen it or heard about it but I hope whoever did it gets caught soon. I'll drive by tomorrow and take a look out of curiosity. Hopefully whoever is doing this screws up one time and tries it on a home with surveillance cameras.

We have Comcast Basic TV and connect directly to the incoming cable without any box.
That way we are able to get all the stations in high def, though on different channels.Well, we just got a notice that starting in mid Sept, Comcast will be scrambling the Basic Cable, so we will have to use their digital converter and lose our high def picture…….unless, of course, we want to rent THEIR high def equipment every month… :
We have basic cable without using a cable box too. Did they say when they were going to start scrambling basic cable? I'm going to miss HDTV. Guess I might dump cable TV and watch only streaming video from Netflix and Amazon. Too bad I have to keep Comcast's ridiculously overpriced Internet.
Great dinner at this restaurant tonight. Very good service, clean, decent prices.
Will go back for sure.Rocky

I know which converter box you are talking about and I thought they had disabled their use a long time ago by scrambling the signal, etc.
I also seem to remember some limitations to the type of service you could get with that box, unless they've changed things.

Given that we all, even me, find ways to criticize Comcast, I thought I would post something positive. Yesterday before coming up I decided to pick up one of their WiFi routers in an attempt to consolidate some equipment.
All went well and I think the WiFi signal is stronger than what I have been used to. I also plugged in my MicroCell, after having renamed the network and reset the password, and it's all good.My next task is to try to hook up an IP camera, which as many of you know, has proven a challenge for me, partly as a Mac user.
Will keep all posted on my efforts.
