Do you drink the whole 'jug of oil' all at once ?  I don't drink Shell Rotella Synthetic Gas Engine oil. Yeah, That synthetic stuff sucks and leaves a bad taste in your mouth, nothing like old fashion Texas Tea.  |

Drove 70 miles round trip to a former co-workers house so that he could put some 90 degree bends in a piece of sheet metal for me. Took him 2 minutes to put 4 of the bends in his sheet metal break. Now I can put my 20 amp power supply under my desk top.

So new to you speakers and a ham radio sounds like command center Marty is coming right along. Up before daylight and what they say is true, It is always colder before the dawn. My motor should get here today so I can fix the bathroom exhaust fan. Also supposed to get Netgear mesh extender in my never ending quest to get a better internet connection. So we shall see if a independent back haul channel helps with buffering problems. I did find out that the new Intel ax200 wifi chip only likes 4x speed on the pcie slot of the motherboard when using a adapter card. I hope intel fixes the driver for that in the near future. The old park owner had two routers set up and one was only about 60ft away now I am having to reach the top of the hill and it blows big hairy chunks. When free internet is not really free the bain of RV parks.

Had a busy weekend working in the shop. Cleaned a lot boards up and banged out a few more ashtrays and cutting boards. Fought with the leaves again but know I'll have to battle them a couple more times because the oaks just won't drop all their leaves yet. Cleaned up a couple new to me pipes and am really happy with them. Going to be busy the next three days because everyone has waited till the last minute to get their stuff repaired before the holiday.

Sorry to hear about your BIL, Ronv69. Thinking of you all. Been a busy day getting stuff prepped for the week. It's getting to that busy season at the minute. Tonight I'll head out with my daughter and see what the bowling club is like. Gotta say, it's hard to beat a game of bowls. |

probably WAYS & EATS not the topics for this...my bad & mea culpa. Da Mrs, with all her ills, diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis during PCP visit this a.m. Probably more anti-biotic(s)for recurring bladder infection. She's dealing bests she can but is pretty much a mess. She's thanked all in the past for their good thoughts.

The new wifi setup with some homemade antennas is up from 30Mbps to 195.Mbps so I guess that is a success story. Now waiting for momma to get home with my afternoon diet soda. Pleasant day with windows open at 76 outside as the fall finally comes to swamp. The big hardwoods are finally releasing the last the last of their leaves and soon it will be time to forage for wild pecans. The cling tights always have the best flavor.

I moved from an area where I got 80Mbps and that was the max I could get, to an area where my max is now 28Mbps. That said, I can seem to do everything I could have done in my previous place, so I don't think I'm losing out. I'm not sure what I would do with more speed. |

Guys, up until last year, the only thing I could get was DSL at my house. 3mbps, TOPS. I had to lobby the local torn provider to run fiber to my 5 house neighborhood, and get the neighbors to agreee. It's costing all of us an extra $50/mo for the next 4 years. Now I have 50mbps. That's WAY MORE than enough to stream anything on multiple devices concurrently. So, now I'm happy

 Was on DSL, then son moved back from Houston, got cable WIFI, had to wait even though line runs in front of my farm, no drop, it took 3 months to get it, but man was it worth it, paying about the same and now no streaming problems.

The problem I had was bouncing and constant buffering we have 60 devices all on one router and the closet access point was over 900 feet. First I boosted my antenna and I could see my rebroadcast down at the end of the road over a half mile away but it did nothing for the speed of my signal. Probably a limitation of the extender board as changing the boosted antenna to either of the two connections had the same effect. Yes we have 4g but a very low plan so I had to save that for momma to work from home. I don't need another 60-70 a month bill for a better phone plan. We can get our own wifi but I would have to move off the lake and back up next to the road and those spaces are really to small for my fifth wheel. Just modern world problems.

That's more than I get from hard wired cable! With the new router I can get full bandwidth to my phone. |

We ran an office of 30 Internet dependent users for years on a 100Mbps connection because that's all we could get at our location. We had DSL as a backup, and we had very few speed issues. We did have a caching accelerator box that was a few grand. Since I retired they came in with 2 Gig fiber and a 400Mbps backup. 90% of users are fine with 10Mbps. |

Just got a call that the other driver didn't have insurance after all. So, I will be using my uninsured motorist coverage, which is several times what the other drivers insurance policy covered. Got the camper moved to the new truck. Also got to drive the new, much longer truck in the parking garage at the neurologists office. Spinal stenosis is not any worse. Chiropractor appointment in the morning, pain clinic Wednesday. Back still hurts, neck sometimes. My truck purchase was contingent on the check from the insurance company that was supposed to be ready today. Now that's delayed for I don't know how long. 🤬🌋👹😡🙏

A local hardware store I go to has been playing it the last two weeks. I miss the days of the Christmas season not starting until Thanksgiving. By the time Christmas comes around now I just want it to be over with because I'm burnt out on it. |
