07-24-2026 — Dental Connectivity

Howdy all. Another fall day here. Started the day in mid 50s (56 to be exact), headed to mid 70s, I think. No rain coming until Sunday. Will need it for the new pepper plants by then, for sure.

Yesterday’s dental appointment went perfect for a change. I was early, because the road work near here, wasn’t clogged up, and I drove through the 6-8 miles just slower than normal, but without stopping. And, they pulled me in from the waiting room earlier than the 10:30 appointment. The new cap went in and fit and had no defects. I was out of there by 10:30, instead of just starting.

I then wasted a half hour driving around the area trying to find an ATM. I needed $20 bills to resupply my on-hand envelopes for the weekly lawn service ($60). Even though there are a ton of big box stores in the area, and lots of fast food and other restaurants, and even hotels, not a bank or an ATM to be found. So, I drove back to Madison, and after enduring some stoppages in the construction zone, went to the Chase bank near the grocery, that has the drive-through ATM service. Of course I had to stop well before the ATM, and get out of the truck to use it, because it is so low to the ground. UGH. But I got my $$ and filled up 6-8 more envelopes for the future lawn mowings.

I was going to stop for groceries, but the back was complaining. A lot!! And was all night. So I didn’t drive to grocery this morning either. I did place an order for delivery from Sam’s Club for this afternoon. That will be good enough for another week or two.

Yesterday afternoon I pushed the send button to order kinetic fiber internet. It should get install the afternoon of July 30.  The contract price is guaranteed at $79.99 a month for 3 years.  Then the subtract $20 per month for me being an ATT mobile phone user.  And then add $2.00 per month for credit card fee. 

The speeds are 2 Gigs, both up and down. It comes with an Eero WiFi 7 router.  Oh, and supposedly I will receive a $300 debit card in three months. That’s like another $8 off per month for the 3 years. Darn good introductory price I would say.  

I’ll hopefully have it hooked up behind the TV, on that stand, and use the smart switch I have to make Kinetic primary and T-Mobile backup. Thus I’ll have everything connected all the time.  Or at least that’s the plan.  I’ll add YouTube TV when it all works and I then cancel Spectrum. — That takes an appointment and a trip to the store in Mentor. Oh, and I need to cancel the AT&T Air Internet too. I don’t even know where that store is.

That’s all for now. Do Enjoy Life
