Speaking of Station Outtages....
Permalink  

I'm knocking on pressboard here, but has anyone noticed how reliable our stream has been the last few months?

Live365 seems to have gotten their act together, our broadband provider has had an excellent stretch and we have solved all our in-studio problems that were causing major drops.

The only problem in the last 6 weeks has been the storm that hit last week.

OK, I'm done patting myself on the back now

It's true.

And she's a real freak about that stuff, she would be horrified if she saw the wiring I've installed and all the wires that are running behind all the furniture

No, she has a real small apartment upstairs Sparky.

It was a very large single family home (probably five bedrooms) that she turned into a duplex.

She left the entire main floor and one room on the second floor for the tenant (me) and turned what was left into a smaller second-floor apartment for herself.

She knows I'm a computer freak and that I do the radio thing, plus she's the best landlord I've ever had, REALLY takes care of the place. Spends about 5,000 a year on it whether it needs it or not just to keep it up.

Last year she replaced both central air units and furnaces not because they needed to be replaced but because she wanted to be pro-active and also get better energy bills for both of us.

Anyway, she's got the place super-insulated and you really can't hear the stuff from other rooms much.

It's pretty much like living in a house, I mean, it IS a house, but I don't even notice that she's there, its' pretty cool.

If homes in this area weren't so ridiculously pricey I'd love to buy this place when she sells it, because I have it set up exactly as I want it.

I really lucked out when I found this place.

Making it even better is the fact she's concerned about having a good tenant so the rent is about $125 less than she COULD get for it.

aw maybe when the time comes and she wants to sell, the price will be right!

Well, I help out with the grass cutting and the shoveling.

She took this summer off of work though, so I've only cut the lawn twice when she was out of town.

But she knows I keep the apartment in good shape, and don't have wild parties or anything like that.

With the wiring, nothing I've done is really a big deal. For the most part I've run cables through pre-existing openings in the floor and have been careful to run them tightly and neatly along the rafters in the basement.

But she would not like to see the massive tangle of power cords in the studio.

Sparky-


Slam man is a well, a dummy, that is filled with sand. the lights go off on different areas of his torso and you are supposed to just beat the snot out of the thing, and thats the work out.

And quite a workout it is!

You just envision it as someone that ticked you off that day and you can really work up a sweat beating the crap out of them!

The hose incident was never solved, but we started keeping the key inside now so they can't do it anymore.

Well glad to hear at least THAT'S not in your contract JD!


But couldn't we call him something like dummy hitting man or something? Otherwise this will have to go in the Lance Bass thread.

the buttpipe that hit my car kept on calling and leaving messages all day at work and at home "I GOT A CHECK FOR YOU......" What an annoying little gnat. Naw, we agreed on MONDAY and I couldn't reach him then. so we're doing the insurance route now. I have no reason to talk to him. This annoying gnat deserves a slam-man session.

Buttpipe - Definition, Sphincter tube, moon shaped orifice. to call one a buttpipe should offer plenty of lube to accompany.

I think you'd like it Sparky! It comes with boxing gloves and an instructional video. I can't tell you how many times I have visualized it as a whiny customer

When my Dad was sick the poor slam man became cancer in my mind, and on a bad day I'd just absolutely beat the crap out of it.

Speaking of that, funny story. When I bought the slam man it was the middle of winter and sand was hard to find. Home Depot only had 120 lbs available, the slam man uses nearly 200, so I had to top the rest of him off with, well, Milorganite. So he is quite literally full of sh*t

Aw man, looks like the cheapest I can get it is for $170 on eBay, plus shipping.

I guess I'll just have to continue to use my husband...
