Whats a Superbowl? Bowling tornement or something?

Gunner, who actually did something useful today. His first day home in
2 weeks.

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Must be Satellite chemical series,
Super bowl is the chemical with a half life of halftime.

Nothing happened in the 3rd but the last 5 minutes was interesting.

Couldn't resist.

Now, after the game, my wife says her SIL takes a broom and hits the dish to
knock off the snow. It was snowing at the time. I'm a desert rat from Las
Vegas, what do I know from snow? Is this true, and can I spray Pam or
something else on there to keep the snow from sticking?

Some will tie a garbage bag on them, I like to give mine coat of Johnson's
Floor Wax.

You need to upgrade the dish. The tiny dishes they give you by default
are inadequate in areas of snow, heavy ran, etc. There are alternate
dishes in the 3' range or so that work a lot better in marginal areas.
As for coatings, silicone spray is what you typically use on a snow
blower, so it should work ok on a dish as well assuming it's at enough
of an angle. The "real" dishes in snow areas are often heated.

I used RainX, but have heard that Pam works OK, too. I preferred the
RainX because it lasted longer. I no longer use the dish, so it's a
moot point for me now.

TV? Just Say NO!

Yes, it is true. Snow and ice do absorb satellite signals. A dish
cover for about $30 works quite well.

I need to occasionally knock heavy wet November and March snow off of
mine, but only two or three times per winter. Most of the time it
sheds it pretty well without assistance.

Why do you think commercial dishes have de-icers?

It is true. I've had it happen here in Apple Valley. Rarely, mind you,
but it does happen. I haven't tried Pam but it might work.

Sumbitch. Went up there this morning, and knocked off the snow, and it
works perfectly. AND I MISSED THE SECOND HALF OF THE SUPER BOWL. Somebody
slap me.

But it's okay. Now I get HGTV more clearly!

Buy broom, send out wife in snowstorm.

Heavens, it's not safe for her to fly in that kind of weather!

They sell a cover for your satellite dish. Cheap in cost, and your
wife will love it.

B.T.W. buy her a bigger broom so that she can swipe at the snow in the
walkway. BFG
