Days of holiday overindulgence has left me with a case of Jingle Bowels and after three days of kayaking, bicycling and walking around looking at Christmas lights there isn't a muscle in my body that ins't hurting.
Yesterday we went up to Christy's parents place along with our bicycles in tow. After spending time with her folks having Christams dinner we went over to Okeeheelee park for a nice bike ride around the lakes. Then in the evening we went over to a nearby neighborhood to check out Christams lights with friends.
Dispite money being hideous this year this has been one of the best holidays I've had since I can remember.
Today is going to be a day of working on my online stuff and doing laundry. We would have liked to have seen Avatar sometime this weekend but it is sold out for today and tomorrow at the IMAX so I guess this weekend is going to be a weekend of vegging out on the couch and watching movies at home. It's getting chilly out so it's also a good excuse to have a fire going in the fireplace.
AT&T showed up this morning unexpectedly saying they wanted to change out the cable that got changed out Thursday with special U-Veres cable that has more shielding.
He also cleaned up the mess of old cables after I let him know that none of them were being used including the Comcast cable so now I just have one cable coming into our house. It sure looks a lot nicer no longer having 20+ years of old cables strung across my yard.
For the first time since I've had this service I'm not getting thousands of errors.
The tech seems to feel that I should be getting better speed then what I'm getting and said that the central office needed to make some adjustments now that my errors are gone that should bump my speed up even more but I've already been getting much faster speeds since the first cable change out.
Faster would naturally be better but compared to what I've been use to this is already amazing.
Christmas Eve we went on a night paddle up the Las Olas waterways with a Meetup group to check out the holiday lights. We did 8.5 miles in rather strong winds and currents with a half dozen other adventurous kayakers.
Until this paddle I had no idea the effort that the mansions along our waterways put into decorating for the holidays. There was everything from elaborate lights to complete scenes with painted backdrops and animatronics. In places even the waterways had underwater lighting. It really was amazing. If I do this again next year I'm going to be sure to bring a camera along that is both waterproof and able to do decent night photography.
