The gentleman that Corey is, has been helpful enough to mow the lawn for us of late. Yesterday, he did another fine job doing just that. After he had showered and had a bite to eat, he decided to relax and watch a show. After trying both TVs downstairs, he let me know the satellite was out downstairs. I didn’t think much of (quite frankly, we don’t have the best service in the whole world and have experienced this before). He then went upstairs to try. Same outcome, no satellite signal. He decided to watch a DVD, and I in turn decided to call the company later that evening. I reset the receivers as instructed, blah, blah, blah while the automated voice gave me instructions as to what I should try next.
Turns out, next was to go outside and make sure the cables were connected. As I was approaching our dish I saw something sticking up out of the ground. I took another look and released it was pieces of coaxial cable lying on the ground. I immediately hung up the phone with the satellite company. Problem revealed!
The funny thing is that the cable was absolutely shredded! I have no idea how Corey ran it over with the mower without seeing or hearing it, and even more frightening, not getting hit by it! Luckily he was not hurt, however he did get a chuckle out of realizing that he was the reason the TV didn’t work! :-)
More “short stories” to come soon!
