You have probably heard the old maxim: “You’ve got to
crack a few eggs to make an omelet.”
Yesterday, I proved the maxim to be true when (with
the help of a company technician) I installed a receiver dish to pick up a new feed
for my internet service. The dish is
required to be in direct line of sight with a service feed on a tower atop
Hogback Mountain, some eleven miles northeast of my house.
I more than cracked a few eggs to complete this
project. Following is my updated version
of the omelet maxim:
You’ve
got to poke holes in your walls, move furniture, fish wires, mount a new dish, crawl
in the attic, trudge through snow, cut down two large pine trees, break a
chainsaw, get a few oil stains on your deck, bump your head, stop for a drink
of Scotch, install a new wireless router, and input in a new password to
connect to a new internet provider.
My version does not have the snap of the original…but
there it is.
