The fix for the problem - no reception of the new, replacement weather station called Weather Nation - was done in less than 5 minutes. It is a poor substitute for the Weather Channel, but is better than no weather station at all - barely. Anyway, the problem was fixed and could have been fixed by myself if the telephone support had taken me through the step that corrected the problem. It seems that the dish was slightly moved out of alignment on one of our windy days to the extent that the particular location on the satellite that broadcasts the show was not getting good enough reception. There are 3 satellites that the dish uses for the signals. A simple tweak of the dish locked onto the satellites to get maximum signal again and - the show reappeared.
We are scheduled to speak with the owner of the Western Inn - Glacier Park, in Columbia Falls, MT, tonight following our spring training game today. We have a list of some questions we need answers to, so it should be an interesting conversation.
Josie worked the late shift at the shop yesterday and that was the last time she will work at that location until the first of April. She works at the production center now on every Monday and Tuesday - our days off from spring training - to fill her weeks in March. She captured this neat photo of the sunset and balloons on her ride home last night:
There is almost always something going on along the Carefree Highway near Lake Pleasant.
Our month of spring training games kicks off today as I have to be there at 10:15 AM and Josie at 11 AM. We will take only one vehicle to see if that works for us. Josie will take her crocheting to do during the extra time I have to work as the stand lead. That involves taking inventory before and after each game, and balancing the registers to the business done each day. Play ball!!
