    We havent had cable since we bought this house 4/19. We stream netflix, Hulu, Disney plus and have a thin paper looking antenna we put up in the window to get local stuff. If you look hard enough, there are ways to stream basically anything online. UFC fights etc...you can always find somewhere free.

    In confirmation we made the right choice dropping cable, the cable co offered us basic cable for 10$/month more than just paying for wifi. I said nah we good thanks!!

    We’ve tried that exact antenna, from Lowe’s, then returned it for the pro model which did better. Then tried an Antennas Direct brand from Best Buy which was worse. Just picked up a used ClearStream but we’ll try it again this afternoon. We bought one of the plug in amplifiers but it was extremely hot after being on 5 minutes, so it was returned. The one we currently have worked pretty good back in the fall, but sucks now for local stations. She’s wanting the 3 main ones, but we can only get 2. I figured it would work better in the winter with the leaves off the trees.

    No meat today, I'm just letting it burn off the fresh paint. We're planning on doing some ribs Monday.

    We are also only getting UHF channels, no VHF. Any recommendations? Could it be 5G interference? We’ve got an in-line filter on it.

    It was a second from a place near us. The other one isn’t leaking at all and it’s the same battery. I put them in the same day, they’re 4 years old.

    My first Duramax, I went to Bojangles for lunch one day and placed my order, went to start the truck and it just clicked. One of the batteries went out. Had to push it out of the way and get my boss to come jump it.

    Those are my favorite too.

    Alas, I lost one 2 years ago to my best friend. His deep cycle went flat and loaned him my DC Deka boat battery. It hasn't come yet.

    Edit: cooking and posting.
