It was nice to visit "the big house" again. I discovered why our electric bill was so low this last month - the air conditioner was turned off. Don't know how that happened; maybe I did it in July when we last visited the house. Anyway, it was 95 degrees inside when we arrived. A couple of candles had melted a little; otherwise, things seemed ok.
We spent some time at the Alltel office. Turns out our phone has a reception problem (the reason for all the dropped calls) and a replacement phone is being shipped to us at the North Rim. I also signed up for Alltel's internet service, rather than continue with the DSL in the park. I'll use Kyocera's small card and will be able to access the network in most locations in the country. Initial tests indicate the speed at almost twice that of the park's DSL. I already have a Kyocera router that will use the card at home.
We cleaned the deck; not sure we removed much dirt, but the carpet "looked" cleaner. And, we brought back a lot of stuff we won't have to try to pack in a couple of weeks. It was great to see some HD television again.
