| Doing Brother Do Projects |
While we were on our trip Larry's sister Louise was making a list of things she needed to have repaired. This morning we went to Round Rock to do her projects and to visit with her and her dog Alice.
We got there around 9:00 and got back home around 3:30. When we arrived the first thing on Louise's list was her home phone. Louise has an old Obihai OBi100, which is an adapter that is used with the internet to obtain phone service. The old device was discontinued years ago and when she had a problem with her phone service the company blamed her old device and would not help. A few days ago Larry ordered her the new version, today he replaced the old Obihai with the newer version. He tried to set it up but couldn't get it to work, not surprising since there was probably nothing really wrong with the old one. He is guessing something is wrong on the provider side. He called the support line but there is no support on the weekends, you can only get support Mon thru Fri between working hours. Louise has her home phone number forwarded to her cell phone so she is getting by.
The next project was her toilet, she had a problem with it running all the time and the control valve to turn it off would not work. He needed to replace the control valve, we needed to go to Lowe's. Before going he checked out an extension cord she had trouble with and discovered the plug needed replaced. Off to Lowe's we went for parts. After replacing the old valve it was time for lunch.
Louise had bought a pizza from Papa Murphy's along with chips and pie for dessert.
After lunch Larry replaced the plug on the extension cord. Once it was repaired he tried it out on her blower, worked perfect and Louise was one happy woman.
The next project was her television Roku. He rebooted the Roku and reconfigured it to work on a different router, hopefully her buffering problem goes away. Then he programmed a device so Alexa could turn her Christmas lights on and off.
The last project was her ceiling fan light fixture. The light is flickering, Larry played with it and couldn't figure out why so he brought the light home to play with it. While Larry was doing projects I played with Alice. We had a very nice visit.

In the evening we watched the seventh episode of Ken Burns Country Music series "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", which is Country Music between 1973 to 1983. When Larry went to bed I started watching the third and final season of Hamish Macbeth.
