Ok, so unfortunately I am right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, which is where Gustav is headed, what should I do about my satellite? If I take it down, I believe I wouldn't know how to mount it back up. So what should i do? I live in Gulfport ,MS by the way. Thanks!

I have everything taken care of inside my house, what i'm doing now is taking care of things outside. Already boarded up the windows, tied my AC unit down outside, and the only thing I have left is the satellite. My house is REALLY small, only one story. I think I will be alright though. I'm not sure if I'm going to evacuate yet. Thanks for everyones help!

Thing is, that would probably take FOREVER, It's still raining, haven't got a chance to put it up yet :(

Youngbloodz. Be safe. I live right in hurricane alley in south florida.

Number one priority is your safety.

Having done hurricane relief work for dbs customers in the past I can tell you that you could expect to wait as much as two months depending on the area and how hard it was hit. After the 04/05 season one of the biggest problems that technicians had was the lack of street signs wich was very prevailant in Florida and Louisiana and parts of Alabama. Another problem was the lack of mailboxes with house numbers on them and both ended up making it extremely difficult to find a customers home and add to that that alot of times the customers were never home.

Who says dinner or lunch has to be the only good meals of the day?

Honey butter grits with scrambled eggs and grilled boneless pork ribs on flakey biscuits washed down with cranberry juice.

Cold morning today, only 32 degrees. Fired up the oven and made cinnamon rolls (from a tube) and a pot of coffee.

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
