Once in a while a couple over the air tv stations have bad reception.
It seems to have something to do with the weather.

But when I record shows on a timer, I don't remmeber what the weather
was like. And a couple weeks ago the only show I record started to
have distortion pretty often. Eventually I noticed it was channel 2, a
major, local station!

I didn't know what to do for a couple days, and then it dawned on me. I
have 2 A-B switches screwed to the shelf next to my bed that holds the
radio, DVDR, VCR, cassette player, Alexa, and some little things.

And I think 6 months ago my DVDR stopped working and it took an hour to
figure out why. Apparently in my sleep, I switched the tv input from
the DVDR to the VCR (and the VCR wasn't turned on.)

And this time I guess in my sleep, I switched the A-B antenna switch to
the 2nd floor antenna, which is not as good as the amplified attic
antenna.

It's strange, I haven't touched those switches on purpose for more than
4 years, except after I change one in my sleep. It's hard to believe I
changed but there is no other explanation.

It's really nice to have a good picture on the tv.

We are just plain-old warm here,, but going to be cold soon again.

i really cannot wait til this covid is over.

I really wanted to get to Mardi Gras this year but they did not celebrate this year as in years past

One year Went there for a ball for a niece It was truly like looking into the past--at something that I at the time thought will likely not be there a generation from now--such elaborate nonsense--but all in fun.

I wonder if covid will have really made things like this a thing of the past

Nope, we had ours this year, we have covid under control in Oz.

Things will return to normal once most are vaccinated
even if we do need boosters every year with the flu.

No, that's impossible. It's an A-B switch, a mechanical switch.

That couldn't be either, because there is only one antenna input**, and
because switching the mechanical switch back fixed it.

Apparently I may not be dream-walking but I'm dream-switching.

** That's the point of the switch, to allow two possible antennas.

And if you never use it, better to remove it and the extra connections i
requires, each of which results in signal loss.
