roof

Did a home Depot trip and got some lumber and a PVC cap and roofing tar. Got all my tools together to go on the roof. Decided at the last minute to bolt the dish to the roof using the roofing tar I bought. Since I had the power cord on the roof I decide to blow off both the front and the back roof. This is the first time the front roof has been blown off in about 10 years. The pine straw was thick on the front and the walk down the roof was scary. I think I will use a rope in the future, mostly for balance rather than to support me. I could probably attach the rope to a solar rail, they seem to be firmly anchored. After attaching the dish there was no signal on the TV. I dug up my dish meter and took the feed apart to insert it inline. I left the patch cable installed with a barrel connector and weatherproofed it with electrical tape. The aiming was good, I listened to Carmen from the Met, not live, then watched the Barbara Walters celebrity special. I was disappointed in her choice for most interesting person of the year. She chose George Clooneys wife. It should have been somebody like Elon Musk for Space X and Tesla. Dinner tonight was a Bojangles 2 piece dinner with dirty rice and iced tea. |
