[stogie5150]

I'll basically be upgrading my 36" dish to the 1.2m dish....or maybe slap a C-Band LNB on it

dont know yet...still have to go pick it up

Well you gonna tell us what happened on the trip Tony? LOL

 

[Mr Tony]

I havent picked it up yet. With me working now and sikma saying he had stuff going on we havent set up a time to meet. It will be soon though

 

[iafirebuff]

Glad to hear your working, Tony!

 

[Mr Tony]

going to meet up with sikma today to pick up the items

Iceberg, I was in your area last Sunday.. We had gone shopping in North Branch and then went down to the Twin Cities and then went east. I had a Manhattan receiver in the trunk of the car with me.. I was thinking that you'd like to maybe take a peek at it, but I didn't have your actual address with me. I know how much you like FTA gear I was maybe just a bit afraid that you wouldn't let me leave afterwards though.

I am glad that you've managed to snag that FTA gear listed above. It is definitely going to a good home.

 

[Mr Tony]

I just went through North Branch today....was at sikma's house and then had to go up by the cabin to repossess a bunch of stuff from my buddy (he's moving and dont need the stuff)

I'm actually west of the Twin Cities so you were an hour or so away

Anywho picked up the stuff and will take some pics tomorrow....

 

[Panavision]

Do you have any pics yet? I've very interested in obtaining this exact setup. Unfortunately, it won't be free

 

[Mr Tony]

actually I haven't. With having to work 6 days a week 10 hours a day (and starting at 4:30AM) I havent had time to really do anything. What I am thinking of doing is rigging up a Primestar bracket so I have masts that would work with that

Yesterday was the 1st Saturday I've had off since I picked that up from sikma....and I'll admit I watched college football all day

 

[Panavision]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that! I hope it's work that you enjoy doing.

 

[Mr Tony]

I do quality control at the Gedney plant (yes the Minnesota Pickle ). Walk the plant all day verifying information for quality assurance and help out as needed.
The pros are good pay and I dont sit there all day shoving pickles in a jar (dont know how people do that) and good exercise. The hours for me are OK. Not fond of getting up at 3:30AM to get to work at 4:30 but it beat July when I had to be there at 3:30
the cons is mainly the heat. In July when it was 97/98 out it was easily 108/110 in there and very humid so that sucked. Thursday it was 104 in parts of the plant (before humidity)..Or when something breaks. Being a lead sometimes you get pulled 3 or 4 different ways. Oh and having to help sometimes when making horseradish....that s**t burns your eyes
