Mr. Fix It are you looking for a lightening bolt?

Casa Grande Arizona Weather 82 and sunny, low 51
This RV park (Val Vista RV Park) is older but kept up nicely.  Monthly only $450 which is extremely inexpensive.  Part of inexpensive is no cable TV hookup at your site. 
We have a small stick on antennae for the window which till yesterday gave us about 25 channels.  Then a big rig pulled in where the window faces and no TV signals or it blinks in and out so bad it drives you crazy.
If the lightening strikes now?  Electricity Mr. Fix It?   
Today Mr. Fix It has had enough of TV blinking in and out!   Honestly the top of our motorhome has more antennae and satellite domes and dishes than Radio Shack but hey what's one more.....  hah!  We stopped at Home Hardware and picked up a small cheapy outdoor antennae.  Clamps.  Pole.  Voila!  Billy is making a Beverly Hillbilly's hookup on the back of the coach which he will attach to the ladder.  Temporary because we will take it down when we move.  It will be useful when sitting for a few weeks and we want to get local channels for weather "and" there is no cable TV hookup in the campground.    We do have a dome satellite on the roof that connects to Dish, Direct TV and Bell but after using it for the first 4 years we find the cost is just not worth it.  You get 120 channels of "nothing" for a monthly fee of $39.99 usf or roughly $50 canadian. 
$34 at Home Depot and some Duct Tape
While Mr. Fix It was up on the ladder looking for lightening I was inside with my sewing machine out.  Quilting.
We are both in our happy places.
