Mo 3/19/18- Xfinity Installation/ He's 104 Today!

Mo 3/19/18- Xfinity Installation/ He's 104 Today!
Up 615am; Cloudy and to the mid 50's by afternoon- gloomy.

CROWN HEIGHTS- Amazon Prime (745am).

Xfinity guy arrived right at 10am. We talked for a long time and he mistakenly thought that I was going to keep my land line, and he cancelled the order and rescheduled for 3/29. Then, he realized that I was dropping the land line, so we went ahead with the order. Done at 1pm and all systems go. He had to climb a pole in the back and they will have to bury the cable sometime within the next ten days- I don't have to be here.

I learned a lot about how the Internet works. Now I know that "throttle" isn't necessarily a bad word. And, Speed Test isn't really an accurate measure of anything.

To access Xfinity account- 

ID- kenworden1

PASS- "Oh, ya don't..."zip


Xfinity Deal;

Monthly Charge- $67.77

LGX Phone ($7.50 per month on  a separate account from the cable/ internet- $25 Special Offer for the phone); 2 TV hookups, 30 channels,  60MBps Internet speed
The sixty dollar installation charge was waived

Made the deal on Sunday afternoon; 130pm. Got all of my devices hooked to the wifi. Just learned that I don't really have 'television', I just have another streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime. No local news and such, but it shouldn't be a problem. And, I'm pretty sure that I'll be dropping Prime.

After 2pm to FitClub after finishing CROWN HEIGHTS. 230pm on the machines. 45" Octane (George Thorogood). 45" Recumbent Bike. 45" Cross. Legs/ Biceps. 30" Old Style Cross. Home to soak and read more UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE MOON; Listened to Gene Krupa Orchestra- on Uncle Natty's 104th! Synchronicity.

Watching, 'BILLIONS' #1 of season II on Xfinity. TV; Not sure how to navigate, and I do get some 'live' stuff; seems like News, but not Local (later I saw that I got WAND). Still, it's a totally much better deal than with ATT. Quality is excellent on the 32" monitor. Then, the last 40" of 'MANHATTAN' on the dvd player. Quality seems much better. Is it the additional bandwidth?

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...
