Fulton County

John Adams and I drove 700 miles for the last thee days.
A mission was identifying missing or unknown addresses for Fulton County 911.
Even though condition of the rural streets was not great, we enjoyed seeing the scenery along the streets.

Rain Gutters

We have installed new rain gutters on our house.
The old gutters were old and rusted, which caused minor water leak to our basement during heavy rain.
New gutters made of aluminium would last longer and prevent the water issues.
There have been several home improvements this year.

Alignment

Cobalt could not rotate or balance tires until alignment got repaired.
I finally found a decent shop in Macomb, A & E Auto Repair.
They are honest and reasonable.
With improved alignment and new front tires, Cobalt now runs very smoothly.

Best Buffet

We finally found a decent Chinese restaurant in Quincy which is family friendly and inexpensive.
Best Buffet located near Walmart charges only $6.99 for lunch including sushi and hibachi grill.
I would grade B+ for taste and B for selection.
Asian Buffet in Macomb was temporally closed due to food inspection, and we decided not go there again after reviewing the inspection report.

The project was complete, and we really liked it.

Comcast

I received ads from Frontier Communications yesterday,
It says $29.99 for 6Mbps with 2 year contract.
I decided to chat with Comcast online and asked them why I am paying more for less speed,
Customer service did not listen and offered more expensive plan.
When I mentioned that I would look for other company to lower my bill, the staff transferred to the sales department.
The next staff seemed polite and reasonable and offered me two promotions after confirmed I have been their customer for several years.
In the end, I chose option 1 which is $19.99 for 10Mbps for 1 year and $49.99 after the promotion period.
Abby is very happy that we now have faster Internet connection with less cost.
