TV Watching is Alive and Well – PFTR

I was a little under the weather last week, so not as much was accomplished as was planned, so I will just speak to a few of the few highlights.

First on the agenda was TV watching. I know that’s not an “accomplishment”, I hear it at least 5 times a day, but this was a really good week for football. The Houston Texans played Monday night and Dallas Thursday night. Both won so it was a good week for the Texas pro teams. Then on Saturday the college playoff games just HAD to be watched. Of course, Clemson was the big one for me, but living in Texas, I had to watch the Longhorns and of course, the Alabama/Georgia game was a must. You know I really dislike Georgia, but I had to root for them because it might be beneficial to Clemson in the playoffs.

As you may know, we watch TV by streaming through the internet. The only problems is that the local channels are not offered with our current subscription service. We’re too far from civilization and there are too many hills for an antenna to work here.  A couple of the games were only being televised on ABC so what was I to do? Hulu to the rescue!! They now offer live TV in our area for the same price I am paying for the other subscription service (DirecTV Now).  We are giving Hulu a one week try, but I am pretty sure we will end up switching to Hulu as our main TV provider.

Working in the garden took a little time this week. Since it hasn’t rained in awhile, I had to do a little watering and cut back some old growth. The mushroom garden also had to be watered. When I was in Walmart this week . . I didn’t plan to go, honest, but Judy needed (let me repeat, Judy needed) more canning jars.  While there, I remembered I never made Cat’s scratch pole. It had been planned for the cat tree so I purchased the necessary materials. It was completed Friday. Oh, by the way, Cat is now using all the platforms on the cat tree.  It took her awhile but she seems to like it.

Finally, I have been 3D printing more Christmas decorations. I am learning these printers can be pretty finicky. But being an expert on dealing with finicky (nothing more will be said on this topic for the sake of a happy and long marriage), I am learning to adapt to its variability.  Hummm, sounds like the good topic for a whole post when I feel brave.

Tree harvesting is the main thing on the agenda for this coming week. I need to keep the mushroom garden moving along. Hey, it’s the holidays you know, so don’t expect too much in the form of real work to get done.
