Dee Ann, as far as the "joke" goes...you should really watch the movie it was from. "Cool Hand Luke" is a CLASSIC! For someone who likes old tv (green acres and what not) I bet you would REALLY enjoy it. Congrats on getting the dish up!

Will these work? Or did I miss something?

What pictures were you looking for while they are here? I am going to be the one of the roof taking them down, is there anything specific you want to see?
