When we got back to Hidden Valley after our Florida trip our Directv receiver was indicating that we had no signal from the Winegard Trav’ler satellite dish. After resetting the receiver we were still getting the same error. After resetting the dish system we got an error message on the controller that there was “No LNB Voltage”. Well, that ain’t a good thing.
I suspected a loose or corroded wire in the system somewhere could be the issue so I checked the wiring in the coach but all was well there. While I was doing that Joyce got on the internet and found a web site that explained the problem and what was done to fix it. One of the suggested fixes (and the fastest) was to replace the wire from the LBN to the dish connection. I got a new temporary cable at the Lackland AFB Exchange and that fixed the problem so we ordered a new cable from Winegard.
On Wednesday we got up early to have the rental car at Hertz by 9 AM. After that task was completed we then drove up to Joyce’s allergy doctor’s office to pick up some more inhalers for her and to get the office to call in the prescription to Express Scripts. Next, we then went to Costco to get a pumpkin pie for the Gobble Day dinner here at Hidden Valley on Saturday.
Joyce has been wanting to get headphones for sometime now so we stopped by the Lackland Exchange and picked her up a pair of Sony WH-1000XM2’s. After she setup her new headphones they were great for music but when talking on the phone there was a lot of echo that was annoying. So we took those back and picked her up a pair of Bose QuietComfort35’s that are working great. By-the-way, with all the discount’s and a loyal customer refund card we had the price was way below the sticker price.
Yesterday we went out to the Gateway Club at Lackland AFB to have Thanksgiving Dinner. They put on a great buffet with just about anything you would want including turkey, prime rib and all the fixings.

On Saturday we went over to Mark and Teri’s house for their Harvest Potluck celebration. There was a lot of food and we got to meet some really nice folks who are staying here.

Yesterday we were up very early to drive up to Randolph AFB to get Joyce a new retired ID card. Seems that is the only base in the San Antonio area that takes walk-ins and they old do that from 7:30 to 9:00 AM. It turned into a painless process.

For the last couple of days Joyce hasn’t been feeling all that well so yesterday I took Joyce to a urgent care clinic where she was diagnosed with strep throat. So she is going to hanging around indoors for the next few days.

I can’t believe how time is flying by here at Hidden Valley. We haven’t done anything special so I think I’ll wrap this edition up and publish it.
Justin, Adrian, Travis and the new addition Victoria Athena.
When I went to Basic Training we stayed in two-story, open bay barracks. The new "barracks" are a lot different.
The old Lackland AFB Chapel. I think I actually went to services there once. Today it is used for special occasions, especially for weddings.
Until next time.
Barry & Joyce
