If you're happy i'm

Rudolf the red nosed reindeer is playing on TV and I'm sitting in front of our new Christmas tree getting in the Christmas mood. This year we purchased a 12 foot tree to place in the living room....yeah it may be a tad bit too big, but it's fun. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are enjoying the Holiday season.

So Regina and I are planning another trip. This time to Canada where we will stay at the hotel de glace an all ice hotel. Now I'm not a big fan of cold weather, but come on this sounds crazy enough for me to check out. Now when I say all ice hotel I'm talking ALL ice. The beds, bar, chairs, rooms, everything....all ice. We booked the hotel for some weekend in February and are both very excited.


So I know I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I would end with a Hack I read about. As soon as I showed the hack to Regina she was sharing it with everyone...it's a pretty easy useful one if you have a Comcast DVR.


Comcast remote hack
(aka how to program the remote to skip ahead 30 seconds on recordings):
-Choose an unused button on the "silver" remote, "A button" is a good one to pick.
-Press the "Cable" button at the top of the remote.
-Press and hold the "Setup" button until the "Cable" button blinks twice.
-Type in the code 994. The "Cable" button will blink twice.
-Press (do not hold) the "Setup" button.
-Type in the code 00173.
-Press the button you want to map the 30-second skip command to.
