So as I noted, Dad wanted to watch the SC football game yesterday, it was on the SEC Network, and the latter was not carried on the hospital's cable system. I brought his new iPad, looked up how to watch online and downloaded the WatchESPN app. However, to watch for free, I needed a user name and password for Time Warner Cable, and TWC wouldn't let me make one up, saying that Dad already had one, but neither of us had any idea what that would be. So I downloaded I Heart Radio at the last second and got the broadcast just as the kickoff was happening. Unfortunately, that led to an immediate Vanderbilt touchdown, so I felt like apologizing. But it was still pretty cool legerdemain for a technopeasant like myself.
We were leaving, and I noticed that the family lounge across the hall from Dad's room, though empty, had the SC game on. So I borrowed Dad's remote to find out what channel it was on, and Dad got his game on his TV after all. And SC turned it around from that point; they're going to have to make sure Dad gets to watch all their games from now on!
Yesterday, I noticed that one front tire was really low. REALLY low! In fact flat. So I guess I didn't come out from my accident as unscathed as I thought. I pumped it up and it's doing OK. Also they're radials. I'll try to get new ones and an alignment in the morning. The neighborhood tire store opens at 7:30; I'm always up that early, though not at my best. Maybe I'll make it.
