Well we were certainly surprised this morning when instead of the UPS truck, the Big Bend Telephone Company showed up! A very happy surprise! Danny and his coworkers brought tools, cement, wire, and conduit, and dug a big hole in our yard with a tractor and a huge auger. They laid down the wire and set the post for the satellite in cement. They were all really positive and nice people, and good workers -- it would have taken us two days to do all that by hand, and we wouldn't have been able to bore into the bedrock like the auger did.
UPS carrier with our mattress is still a no-show, but if Manny doesn't make it today we may pick up the shipment in Alpine ourselves. We'll see.
I'll post pictures of the satellite installation as soon as the camera, computer, and internet are all in the same place at the same time. Hopefully our next blog will come from inside our house!
