Comcast is the only cable choice you get. Its expensive but Ive never had a problem with service or customer service, they also have free movie channels avail all the time if you just call and ask for them. usually 3-6 months free trials, as soon as one ends I call right back and ask for it again lol. I haven't paid for HBO,Showtime,Starz for 2 years haha.

I love their internet, pretty damn fast if ya ask me.

sr, does comcast not crash there a lot? I have had it a few times in the past in other locations and it has always been terrible. it crashes a lot, is slow, and when it does crash it stays out for hours to days at a time and they never discount your bill for it.

I think in the its gone out twice in the last 3 years and both have been during summer storms, never out more than a few hrs. Seems to be really reliable here.

Carpet is going in today! So excited to finally have it (mostly) done...will post pics later tonight! We will definitely have to have everyone over to break it in. My folks will be here for Thanksgiving, so not sure about getting together this weekend...depends on when they head out.
He lives! woot!

I have Frontier internet, and I'm not so happy. I think it's slow, but I'm not sure. My xbox connection keeps dropping, but nothing else on my wireless gets disconnected.

I've been having problems with the forums on Chrome lately; site won't load and looks like it's down but it works on other browsers...very strange.

Anywho.......home theater/man cave has been completed.

Crappy cell phone pics:




The stats: Dolby Digital 5.1 (soon to be 7.1), 120" Diagonal 16x9 Screen, Epson 5030UB 2D/3D Projector, seven powered leather recliners.

Standing by to plan a movie night to break it in!

It's more of a site problem, but it looks like they don't care enough to get it fixed If I clear the cache it works for a while then does the same thing eventually.

Sorry about the site. I'm also using Chrome with a few issues, but it's not that bad. I typically have to reload the site when I first log on, then it's good after that.

And Happy Thanksgiving folks. I'm just chillin' in my house, making hockey videos for the team, and Tara's cooking a huge meal. We've got another family coming over for the first time. I'll be drinking as soon as it's noon.

As for gyms in the south 'burbs area, I go to Lifetime Fitness. Started going in Lakeville but eventually settled with the Apple Valley one since I don't have time to waste walking all over a huge gym looking for room.

Boo on the snowmobile. I'm not keeping up on something like that when I'm fighting for garage space. Plus, I'd need a trailer and some actual snow to ride on.
