Aha.

I figured out why my wireless connection is acting up. Somehow, the antenna thingy in the back of the wireless router has been unscrewed -- itself a feat -- and has vanished.

Tomorrow, while in SAHD mode, I shall begin surreptitious pre-plans to redo the kitchen.

I hope, but I am not expecting, to do this in Ninja Cheapskate Mode.

Details to ensue,
