The process of moving allows you to move only what you need and discard the rest. In theory, at least. I usually have found myself boxing everything and knowing I'll have to sort it out at the other end.

This morning I can hear lawnmowers around the neighborhood and I need to attack the rest of my back yard. I tentatively mowed about 1/4 of the area after repairing and testing my mower, but it's a lovely day today so I'll finish the rest of it.

We got Susie part-way set up tech-wise at her house yesterday. She has been paying for but thought she was no longer able to view Netflix, but I was able to logon to her account online via the laptop. We discovered that someone else has been using her account - her old computer that was stolen was set up for auto logon, and while she wasn't watching it, someone else had their movies in the streaming list. We deleted those, changed the password, and have removed the mailed DVD option. Next week we will address the NetFlix streaming to the television (get a DVD/Blu-ray wifi streaming player) and kick out the confusing X-Box (setting it aside for the kids to hook up when they visit, and providing a cable to the modem so they can stream games or whatever through it. Right now it can't recognize the new home network we set up last month). Her house is such a tangle of technology that other people have set up to use while they're visiting that she can't figure out. I've asked her what it is she wants to do, and we're figuring out the easiest way to do it. In her own house she should be able to watch a movie without jumping through technology hoops.

Next week we will set up a rabbitears antenna for the livingroom television and I will help her program out the over-the-air channels she doesn't want. She's going to watch it for a week or two to be sure she can live without the expensive DishTV plan. She likes to record network programs, but many of them can be viewed at the networks web sites, so we'll also bookmark those sites and see if she can find the programs she wants to watch. If both of those things work, then the $100+ monthly dish bill is gone.

Gotta get moving around here. It's a gorgeous day, and after a few dark weeks I need to get sunshine to make vitamin D.
