Monday rest day 8/12

I worked in the suburbs in the morning and had my car looked at on my way back downtown over lunch. I got into a fender bender in August 1st and hasn't gotten around to taking it in.

I had called my insurance agent and we talked about my options as far as insurance vs not and after today, it looks like I'll opt for a higher rate since we discovered that the bumper and grill are (obviously) messed up but the grill has pushed into the radiator and my A/C will probably eventually not work. He said it was safe to drive and the engine looked fine but it'd be at least $1,200-1,500 and with a $90/mo increase over 3 years & a $100 deductible, it makes sense to fix it. I called my cousin for some advice since he's also a State Farm agent.

After that, I planned to work remotely from home the remainder of the day but our server was down literally from 11:15 until (still) 9pm at night. Who knows what's going on this time!  I got 5-6 crazy spam messages this morning that were all caught in my spam trap (that I also permanently deleted) so I wonder if we all got that and it I overloaded the system??

Anyway, I did what I could to documents in the drive (the shared remote server was working, so it appeared to only be the email server) and checked in with the office several times to see if it was working yet. My phone was forwarded to my cell but I didn't have too many calls di my rest day did become easier too. I made breaded pork chops for an early dinner and MB helped me set up the soundbar I won at the golf outing last night too; it's awesome!!

He was able to insure it works for my radio tuner, AppleTV, and my regular TV and it sounds fabulous!  The cords were short, so we stacked my subwoofer between the DVD/cd player and the tuner and then I could stack the soundbar on top of the TV. This looked much better than just putting it on the floor or in front of the TV with all the cords hanging out. 

I have a swivel wall mount for my tv but I'm slightly scared to try and anchor it myself but eventually could mount both the TV and the soundbar on the wall. This way will do for now though!!
