Yea I've decided:
I'm going to man up and defy my landlady. She doesn't live here, and only comes by every so often. She's got her maintenance dudes coming in to finish some things this afternoon, including gutter cleaning. Their previous instructions were to take the antenna down if it was still up.
When they're gone, everybody's happy, and my anal-retentive landlady is satisfied, that suckers going right back on the roof!
Thought about the tree, except I'm in a three story townhouse with no yard and therefore no tree on our property...i'd have to dangle a wire to a back-neighbor's tree from my second story window (where the feed is) and blah blah and it gets complicated.......
Give me until tomorrow or friday and hopefully I'll have restored the universe to order by then.
Thanks to the LAX listeners for your concern and GO BRUINS
