Thread Name: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
Subject: RE: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
The yard is sodden so it will mostly be indoor activities today, though I will prune some of the small branches off of the larger limbs I took down this week and fill the large trash can with them. Laundry, but no line drying in this humidity. I'm finishing a letter of interest for a job that sounds interesting and in the background I have to rip a couple of audio books on CD into the computer so I can load them into the phone for listening while I work. And clearing up stuff sitting around the house in preparation for company arriving one of these days.

For several months now I've fussed about the messed up numbers on my office Vizio TV; when the local channels 5.1 and 5.2 were updated and relaunched, they showed up identically as 5.1 and 5.2, but if I tried keying in the number I first hit a blue screen, then when I do the up channel click I got the channel I wanted. On my kitchen TV it's an entirely different set of numbers now; these digital channels don't really match the old analog system. Anyway, I finally turned the little office TV around, got the model number (this was my son's in college and the manual is long gone) and found the manual online. There I learned how to factory reset and scan so that the correct numbered channels show up on the first try. It may be a small thing in the scheme of the world, but as a chronic user of the "last" button it's a lot easier to flip between two favorite channels to see what's on.
