That will be my first move once this is sorted.

To say I was mad when it happened to me would be a gross understatement. The best explanation the bank could give me was "Sorry, we experienced a glitch that effected a few of our customers"!!
No, but a fedora would look a little funny, don't ya think?

They couldn't give me a window of arrival because they are so busy. Best they can do is have the service tech call me 20 minutes before he arrives. In that 20 minutes I need to go home (3 miles from work), open the gates and put the dogs up.Cable tech called just as I was leaving work at 5:00 so we arrived at the house at virtually the same time.Here's the list of zapped units...The main box outside.The battery back up box for the phone.The internet pod.The cable box in the living room.He was here for an hour chasing down the issues and making sure everything was back up and running. He said he had one more job before he was done for the day.Not so fast there buckaroo...Went to the mancave/bar to check things out.That strike hit the router and the laptop down there.Our company just upgraded all the office desktops recently and there are 50 or 60 of the old ones stacked up in the IT office. I'll see if I can get my hands on one of them. I have a 500 gb hard drive here to put in one if I can get one. Then I'll replace my router... I had just bought that one recently.Oh well, coulda been worse... we could be homeless..... and we can add the cordless house phone to the list It won't charge the handset.That’s crazy, Bill! We’ve had a thing or 2 get whacked by lightning, but that’s not cool at all. Sorry to hear all that.

Apparently we are not the only ones that suffered the storm damage. They couldn't give me a window of arrival because they are so busy.

We’ve had a thing or 2 get whacked by lightning, but that’s not cool at all. Sorry to hear all that.LOL.... this is nuts !!!Apparently the 55" TV in the living room also took the hit but didn't show up until Betty Lou tried to watch NetFlix. After 10 minutes the TV just shut down. Had to unplug it and plug it back in.Now it does it all the time.The new TV will be delivered tomorrow...
Here’s a panoramic view off my sister’s back deck in Hot Springs:It’s just a valley down there and the road up to my sister’s runs through it. There’s plenty of water for sport & fishing around there though.

Did you & your wife make it Branson? Happy Anniversary, by the way!Yes we were at Silver Dollar City on the wife's birthday and had a great time. One of the granddaughters and her boy friend took us (they have season passes) they hung out with us about half the time and we couples split up for the rest of the time.
Best wishes and of course our prayers to y’all John.
