Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Thanks, I saw that, but limited success trying to import via my ipad, haven’t tried laptop yet, but hopeful. Trying to import aerial of property as my floorplan.

UPS brought my mini Flex switches today. Will start placing them tomorrow. Amazon messed up my USG order so I cancelled and ordered directly from Ubiquiti. My primary reason for the USG is to combine my 2 LTE via load balancing. I question if perhaps I maybe should have gone with a Dream machine, but talked myself out of it as I was looking more for the outside wifi.

Hope you get your solar finalized. I’d be super frustrated (pi**ed) at the delay.

I don't see any reason importing an aerial shot wouldn't work, David. Once imported, you use a tool to draw in the "walls" of the building, and can designate various building materials so their transmissivity to radio waves can be figured into the heat map. Then you use another tool to set the scale. My generator pad and pump house weren't even on the imported jpg, so I just drew them in and the worked fine. CrossTalk did a video on the Design tool, BTW.

You're not out much if you decide to upgrade from the USG, and you could probably make some of your money back on ebay for it as well.

Curious to see how your load balancing goes, so keep us posted.

As long as the solar system keeps working, I can't get too upset that the last few details haven't been cleaned up. Priority wise, they're trying to get people up and running so they can deal with the power shutoffs, another of which is supposed to start Thursday. Compared to that, my issues are pretty minor.

Good morning all. Just moved the sheep into a side field. It will be my version of paradise for the next few days, now I can get to most places in the tractor without having to keep opening and closing gates.

Eric any idea on how the maize the British farmers are planting different from corn?
They plant specific varieties of maize that are optimum for when it is all chopped up together and placed in a sileage clamp to ferment.

Maize/corn is the same plant, from the genus called Zea. In agriculture it is called maize, which is the name for the entire plant. When cooked I know it as corn-on-the-cob (corncob), the kernels being called "sweet corn".

In Britain "corn" is the generic term for any cereal crop - wheat, oats, barley etc. It has been that way since Anglo Saxon times, from an old Germanic word - Korn. That same general name for grain also passed over the Atlantic, the first settlers calling maize "Indian corn". I see the early varieties of that are still around to this day Indian Corn – Master Gardener Program


Wng, nothing like a good session of ladder climbing for exercising certain muscles. Are you feeling a little stiff today ?

Good morning! 50 and drizzle right now. 58 later. Next 2 days should be nice and above normal.

Start my week today. Hopefully it is not crazy as I am going to be the only one answering tech calls today.

Everyone stay safe out there.

52 heading to upper 70's today.

Dumpster got hauled out yesterday, grass is better than I expected. And not too bad of ruts. Got the fence back together and moved the vinyl to the front yard. It was nice chucking stuff into that thing. Not having to make dump runs. That would have been a lot of work.

Actually hung two more foam boards up, and filled a few more holes in the ceiling. May cut grass today and try and relax.

RNG and David, you all have some serious network building skills going on with your places. My network here was just adding a few access points to three places on the farm and all was well.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Good morning,
the temp is 35ｰF and the high will be 45. Wind W 3 mph. Periods of rain ending this morning then sun and cloud mix.

I need to go to North Bay later today. That ought to be a real 'treat'.
That is the only 'plan' on tap.


Have a safe day all

good morning all
warmer morning, 57 going up to mid/high 70's today in clouds and sun. Warm weather is back until this weekend apparently.

still waiting for SS card to come in mail, my brother mailed it from VA last Thursday. Remember when first class mail always got to you in a day or two?...
Once the card comes in, I can go to DMV.

Plumber visit yesterday was successful, new toilet much more comfortable and now well pump doesn't run so much.
Electrician came and looked at house, confirmed panel is only 100amp, hope code doesn't require an upgrade, and he said he didn't need to add an interlock
panel but could use special breakers inside existing panel instead. Ok. Will all get down to how big his estimate is. He said he was backed up on four generator jobs
due to parts problems, seems whole chain of supply is messed up, particularly Generac. At issue is whether my Westinghouse gen will even show up first week in November.
I looked it up online and the price asked is now almost double. Some serious price gouging going on...

Today I hang curtains and try to add a little shine to old vinyl floors with mop 'n glow. Got floors cleaned yesterday, today I have to "paint" my way to a spot where I can read my book for an hour and not walk on the wet floors. Actually I think I'll do that working in direction of office. Have area rugs to order from Mr Bezos this morning; wonder if he'll invite me on his yacht for all the business I have done with him since 2001?...
