When there has been good going for Dennis there is bound to be a set-back in his recovery. His patio porch television is no more. What is the point of having a heated patio porch if the RFD, Rural Farm Direct, the History and Discovery channels cannot be enjoyed. We started at the source of what would be needed via Mediacom. This coming Wednesday there will be a cable box delivered via UPS followed by a service call from Mediacom on Thursday. Our responsibility would be to have a television on board by Thursday. St. James actually has what is almost a full time Mediacom service fellow, Alex, and was a great support person to walk me through all this.
This coming Monday we have two doctor appointments for Dennis. I have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for late Monday and Tuesday. After Dennis got settled this morning, complete with his shot and meds, I left for Mankato to visit Best Buy to purchase a new television for the patio porch resident. Kevin and Jeremy had both agreed the Samsung we had purchased for the sewing studio was a good product for the money when they installed it on Thanksgiving Day. Mediacom Alex confirmed the thumbs up on the Samsung brand.
When I returned home at 11:00 a.m., Dennis was still napping and I had a 32″ Samsung television in the car. I think it was listed as a “Smart” television with 1080P for the total of $248.10. Whatever! We are totally prepared for the install this coming week. Right now it is a bit sad to look out the east house window and see into the patio porch with Dennis in his favorite rocking chair watching . . . snow melt. The last thing he thought we needed to purchase was a new set for the patio porch. Dennis . . . sometimes the hand me down television sets have served their purpose and we need to get on board with reality. Next week at this time he will be feeling physically better and be right up to snuff on how the tractor auctions are doing.
