Happy boy now!

FINALLY! A Comcast cable-guy house call:
I told him "Look, I ONLY care about two things for the $182.00 mo. you're charging me: Baseball & MUSIC!..AND Both those channels keep cutting out!" He ran out to his truck came in with a cable cord upgrade..and voila! ME and the cat ROCKIN' to ZZ TOP without squibbly lines and blackouts!
