Thanks Bill… that was a pretty good Truck race, we watched it last night. I hope the Cup race will be a good one to watch too.

I hope the Cup race will be a good one to watch too.Let's not forget Xfinity.. I have all of them set to record all season. Right now I have the IMSA 12 hours of Sebring playing and have NHRA recorded for later. I usually put these on while I'm tinkering in the Red Shed. Betty Lou likes watching the cup and xfinity but don't care much about the rest of it.
In my case, I can't cut the cord 100%. You still have to have internet access. Some folks do it with a cell service and some of those companies are promoting it for streaming but it's somewhat still touch and go with full house coverage. Sure, you can add access points, at a cost.We still have our fiber optic internet service and Betty Lou likes her house phone. So we are somewhat "tethered" and it runs to a company supplied pod. I have installed 2 more of my own wireless routers.. one in the bar area and one in the Red Shed. They are hard wired back to the pod and daisy chained, one off of the other. So I have Ethernet and wireless throughout. I get unlimited streaming/internet at 300mps and the phone for around $80 a month. We have 5 TVs (never more than 2 on at a time) a laptop, the desktop 2 tablets and my cell (that runs from it when I am at home) and we never experience any lag.One of the nice things is that we don't have boxes everywhere. All the TVs are wifi compatible.... one single remote for each. The big TV in the living room has 2 twin remotes... His and hers.
I’m still a knucklehead with Direct TV. My wife has always been the negotiator, but there’s not much to negotiate after 14 years of use. We’re wanting to ditch the satellite this year and go streaming, like everyone else that knows how to do it. I don’t know how, yet.
I have no idea how to even turn the memsahib's idiot box on. She's got two or three remotes. Takes a degree in AV engineering to run any dang TV, game box, or computer these days. I'd have disappeared from this forum years ago if La Esposa didn't keep these confounded modern inconveniences running.By god I'm more ignorant than all of y'all!And darn proud of it too!

If I had a river dock like you do I would gladly give up screen time too! I do all my bible study on my computers and it is a great time saver so, I am glad I have them.I have Cable internet and use it for streaming along with Roku. I admit I spend too much time on YouTube though.
Mornin'Up at 5 and put the coffee on. Nobody else up yet but it won't be long.Supposed to be 60 and windy today with no rain and sunny skies.I'll most likely fire up Casting Corner because I need to run more 217 20 RF and the NTM 217 17 WC mold should arrive today. It was supposed to deliver on Friday but didn't make it.It is possible that Betty Lou could get the urge for yard work and change my plan.
