Yesterday, Jeb showed up at the door with a cooler of Guiness and Harp for him and Dad to have a black and tan while he worked on installing wireless internet. He also came with a tool box. About 30 minutes later, and just in time, Ted came over with no cooler and no tool box to work on the same project. They all had a couple of black and tans before they started working, and then we had lunch. Dad had some questions about wireless and they were able to answer all of them. One was "does the attic fan interfere with wireless?" "Yes" was the answer. "It sucks all of your data right up into your attic and then the neighbors can get to it." They worked for literally hours getting us all set up. Jeb installed a card in the Mac, he and Ted both worked on the Dell to get it all set up, and Ted worked on the laptop. Well, we're up and running. This is very exciting. I am sitting in the kitchen writing this blog.
Thank you both, boys. You are very good children.....
Love,
Mom

You are welcome, Mom. Note for some future wireless installer: The DSL modem had to be "dumbed down" and set to an EthernetBridge mode so that it did not combat for routing duty with the Wireless router.

Good sons and fine men. Aren't they smart to know how to do that.
It seems like you don't have to wait for any special hour to have a black and tan.
