    How'd it go today?

    That's my guess. I'm on West Road. I've gotten the same number East Road's mail before.

    How'd it go today?

    USPS says they put the package in my mailbox at 5:48. Nope. They went by at about 6:15, and no package. I'm expecting a whole lot of nothing from them tomorrow morning.

    How'd it go today?

    It looks like I'm going to need a charger for my internet battery at the sawmill. I was hoping I could charge it off a piece of machinery, but that doesn't look feasible at this point. Tractor Supply had a solar trickle charger for about $15 per watt, with unknown battery management. Amazon has...

    I'm kind of disappointed he didn't get past farfalle.

    We have a lot of foxes around here. Almost always red, but I did see one family about four years ago that was fully gray. They are smart enough to get out of the road, but only just enough. I'm guessing they have litters they need to feed and are hunting non-stop.

    Not sure about the bridge, but I know when we first got fiber in 2016 they explained that a tethered device would see almost all of the gigabit, but anything wifi would be half due to it switching between sending and receiving. My cell phone was at 400 up and down. The tech's tethered laptop was...

    How'd it go today?

    I'm going to build something. Possibly a small toolshed. Even with the lid down, that's better than most people's internet. As I'm standing here in the dark, car running, the raccoons that vacated the grain building when I got here, are sneaking back in. I turned my flashlight on, and there was...

    Gigabit fiber at my parent's house. Point to point bridge from the house (400') to the sawmill. Car battery on a cheap pure sine wave inverter and a cheap gigabit wifi router.

    I just closed the lid on the Rigid metal jobbox and walked about 100' away to the sawmill, and this was what I got through the lid. That's good enough for sawmilling!

    I just did a speed test from the sawmill. Hard to believe it actually works!

    It's a Super A with a #A123 Highway Mower.

    I had to delete a small maple shrub to get my line of sight for the antennas. Found a Farmall!:lol:

    How'd it go today?

    I got one of my antennas installed at the sawmill. No big deal. I have a small pure sine wave inverter I'm going to run off an extra battery I have. Not sure how long a charge will last, and if I still put a solar panel in the system, or if I can just plug it into the tractor occasionally to...

    AdaLov. A CPE361, I think. Many choices. This one seemed to be well liked.

    After much YouTubing, I've ordered a 5km point to point bridge. I'll try it from house first, but I'm betting there is too much tree interference. If it doesn't work, then I'll put it on my parents house. If I stand at the corner of the building near the top of the yellow line, I have a very...

    How'd it go today?

    Trying to figure out if a point to point wifi will work at the sawmill. They can have a range of 2 to 10 km. My house is about 520m to the building nearest the mill. I'm worried about trees, but interestingly, the straight line from my house is the least obstructed path. My parents house is...

    Did you know that a Zinger is just a Twinkie in a fur coat?

    How'd it go today?

    I liked the 462 and 500i that I ran at work. They have their place, but for what I do, the 395XP is hard to beat. It's like a D8. Not the fastest thing around, but not much slows it down. The 462s were pretty bulletproof. The 500i, not so much.
