Homestead Report Number 54

This is Thomas R. Welch reporting to you again direct from the homestead on the south side of Atlanta, Ga.

I mentioned yesterday that we bought Wii, set it up and enjoyed it.  But only one person could play at a time which is not good if we wanted to compete against each other, which we do.  So, we went out and bought a second set of controls.  I guess I figured out the Wii installation because basically you just pushed the appropriate button on the remote when the Wii program told you to.  I tried to get the second control set up but it doesn't work.  Set up the Wii to accommodate two players.  Put the batteries in the new control.  Pushed the button inside the battery box, like the instructions say.  I don't understand what it is supposed to do, bit I did what it said.  A series of lights on the bottom of the control started blinking, just like the instructions say.  When the lights stopped blinking, just like the instructions said they would, I pushed the power button.  Nothing!  So, I am on hold with just one control until Steven comes tomorrow to bail me out, like he always does when it comes to computerized stuff.  If he can't get it working I'll figure it was defective when it was sold and take it back for either refund, or exchange.

Two players on just the one controller is not cool, but it gets the job done.  I have already noticed a distinctive difference Yun and my playing styles.  I stand and go through the movement just like I would in a bowling alley.  Yun sits in a chair and sort of thrusts the control forward while releasing "B" button.  Works for her, she has a pretty good score.

We make sure we know where Sassy is all the time.  This isn’t hard to do because she’s staying closer to us than normal.

Oh, I decided to number my reports sequentially.  It gets a little difficult coming up with titles.

More later (There is always more, later not so much).
