Good Morning, Folks. I came into the studio today to find streaming down, Lowell down, and no internet. I'm posting this backup via Starlink, which allows me to stream but will not carry our Lowell audio. It appears the "new" system they have where their "latest and greatest" modem won't support our static IP address (meaning we need a second SPECTRUM box to do that) has failed. The modem is […]
What's in Jim's pocket? Clues on Monday were: Eyes, ears, nose, throat (or 1/4 of that anyway) Can be held in Jim's hand.

So, what happens when Consumers' Energy "blinks" the power too many times? SMART bulbs become dumb again and are all asking for individual resets! This happened last week at the WION offices in the "gameroom" and other locations. This is one reason to shut OFF electronics and sensitive electrical things in hot weather when power outages could happen due to load on the grid. Enjoy what Justin and I saw […]
