I’ve been offline for about 24 hours.  There was a broken wire in the cable that runs from our router, out the house, underground to the base of my tower and 70 ft up that tower.  My ISP (and good friend), Brian, came out and fixed it after diagnosing the problem.  It took two trips up the tower.  I’m just glad I didn’t have to climb it.  I don’t think I can do that anymore–at least not safely. :no:

There’s a great view from up there.  I’d like to make the climb, and would–if I could.

I rely on the Internet for news updates and communications.  It was like being deaf and blind for a day.  UGH!  Do you have trouble with Internet withdrawal?
