Tonight - Date night with "She who adores me"

Saturday - Sleep in, then chores

Sunday - AM church, then whatever

Monday - Not sure yet, might end up working
 
Tonight - Cedarcrest church is having a 4th Celebration tonight with free food, the praise band singing and fireworks at dusk. We caught the fireworks last year after dinner it it was pretty good, so we're going to do the whole thing tonight. (Assuming the evening storms miss us)

Saturday - Walk, go see mom, yard work if it doesn't rain, work on repainting sound daughters old bedroom if it doesn't.

Sunday - Take the PIL to their church for the patriotic concert, then relax

Monday - Not sure yet either. May just end up relaxing since we will have had the big show Friday.
 
Installed 50" Fire TV in rec room. Ran internet, HDMI from Sat receiver, and audio cable so the sound will play through the TV speakers

Wow...I got in trouble with a guest because Fox News was on in the breakfast area. She left a scorching review....

I remember her walking up after the breakfast room was closed and she asked if Fox News was always on the TV? I had never seen it on before, but the TV is not facing the Front Desk Lobby area. I responded I don't know, it is on what ever show a guest turns in to.

Ironically the lady's name in the review was Karen!!!! :rofl:

I don't know who put the TV on Fox news... she is right, our breakfast servers are all Mexican. They turn the TV on each morning. Usually it is a local news station. Karen could have asked them to change the channel, no one was paying any attention other than Karen. My servers know common English, but if they watched TV, it would be the Spanish station, so it does not matter to them what is on the TV. I thought the review was funny.

POSITIVE:

The staff managing breakfast and the room cleaning staff were fantastic.


NEGATIVE:

During breakfast hours, a large screen TV was on with The Fox News channel.

Please consider showing a more reputable and less politicized morning show to your guests.

Many members of the staff and many hotel guests seemed to be immigrants to the US, and I felt very disconcerted that they would have to be exposed to anti-immigrant rhetoric like that.

For this reason alone, I would not come back to this hotel.

It is a simple change that would make a big difference to the quality of this hotel.

I see a pattern there.
 
Oh happy days,,, last night a power spike during the storm rendered my main A/C unit useless. Service is scheduled for tomorrow,,, AFTERNOON!!!
They finally showed up the next afternoon and spent 2 hours working on it, I am now $1150 poorer. It seems the condenser fan died and got replaced along with its capacitor. It's cold in here again and my better half is happy.

Holy crap! Wish I could charge those rates.
 
Service call was $89, fan motor and installation was $910, clean coils and new 5" filter $150. What should a fan motor for a 5 ton Rheem go for installed?
It probably cost them no more than $100. Capacitor $5. 5" filter $25, coil cleaner $30. But the residential side of the industry uses flat rate pricing, and the margins are huge.

We can't get away with that in commercial.
