Day 47, Every picture has a story"
Out with the old and in with the new.  A few years ago Terry and I purchased a 41" TV and thought we were "in" so to speak.  Of course now the "in" is the "out" so we needed to change.  We went to Target a week ago Sunday and purchased a 65" TV.    With $300 off, an additional 15% off and then 5% with your Target Card it was a steal of a deal.  Then we went to Costco and purchased a wall mount.  Yesterday was a banner day.  We attached the wall mount and then hooked up our new TV and NOTHING.  Terry was on the phone with our provider for at least 45 minutes but NO success.  We did not have TV.  Late in the evening I discovered "my mistake" and presto we had TV on our new 65"!  I will not go into detail about what transpired but all is forgotten (and forgiven) now as our new, wall mounted, TV is working and the OLD goes into the guest room.  We still have to make a hole in the wall to put the wires through so you do not see wired hanging down but that should be an easy task, I THINK.  We went next door where contractors are completing a redo of a villa.  We wanted to see how the metal studs were as you needed, we thought, to attach the wall mounting to the studs.  There were 2 guys there and both said that is not necessary so that made our job easier.  We did fasten the mount to the wall with 8 fasteners.  That may have been over kill but better safe than sorry.  Now it is just sit back and enjoy.

We have a major cool down in the works today and tomorrow.  A high of 68 today and tomorrow, for our tennis match tomorrow, a high of 63!!!  That will be nice tennis weather.  By Thursday we should be in the 70s again.  After our match tomorrow we will be over half finished with our fall season.  I have put myself on court #3 tomorrow as I am trying to get different people to play with players they probably will not play with in the winter.  I am hoping for at least one court win tomorrow and maybe 2.  The team we play are ahead of us in the standing and of course in the fall the standings are not that big a thing but still it is fun to win!

I was lazy today as I forced myself to fall back to sleep and did not get up until Terry woke me a short while after 8.  Can not remember the last time I slept until that late.  I was able to get breakfast in and my FP went with me to the courts.  I finished it there so that is history.

Enough, I need to get some things finished here.
