...when placing a BUD on a pole with a helper(???), he lets go while lifting to check how much higher we have to go and the thing drops to the ground!!!

Then he does the same thing again!!!

I should of used my "backhaul" to lift it!!!

...when, trying to make the wife happy, you neaten up the wire mess (Which looked like the big tangled ball of lights in the Christmas Vacation movie!) behind the main AV cabinet and nothing works quite right afterwards!

Every once in a while with electronics, when the wires have gotten outta control, you gotta unplug it all, and start over again, with twist ties on the mind and at hand.

... when you leave the new dish motor in a box and the wife throws it out when she cleans out the porch!

I love these stories! My wife just ( years ago ) got rid of me and I kept the house. I come home and the dishes still aren't washed, but I have peace!

[elliswr]

You mount the elevation bracket upside down on the dish you just received!
