Speaking of fridge issues, the one in my basement seems to get warm inside, so I got a monitor I read about on TBN
Good morning!!!!-img_8742-jpg
The fridge has gotten up to 53ｰ. I have it turned as cold as it goes to keep in low 40s. Freezer seems ok.

Fan could be bad or blocked. I had that exact problem about 15 years ago, bad fan motor.

And I just had it happen less than a month ago. I'd never seen that little fan in the back. I thought the service guy was going to take the whole refrigerator apart.:laughing: But he lubricated that little fan and all has been well since.

I have 3 goals:
1 - Get a strong signal to Caretaker / Tractorshed that would support a separate LAN at Caretaker and stronger signal for Outback Mate. Had I been smart enough when I built the house I would have run ethernet to garage and tractorshed or at least extra conduit. No easy way to do so now, too much concrete between buildings

2 - Get a better external signal within property boundaries, especially deadspots where AP on tractor would mesh in.

3 - Reestablish a solid wireless connection to cottage for future, especially when Starlink is my primary.

I feel your pain.

Here's a discussion thread at the Unifi Community site discussing WiFi tuning. That's where I'll start when I finally get around to tackling the signal quality challenges. Mine aren't horrible, but I think it could be better, so this one doesn't have a lot of priority...:confused3:

Thanks. Yup, understand the priority thing. Mine isn’t either. More important I got my internal wifi back stable since changing internet source. Still anxious to get Starlink though.

I did decide I’m not happy with my Cloud Key as it goes down rather often and I wonder if part of my problem. So I ‘m upgrading to the Gen2+. If I ever add cameras I’ll be ready. When I switch Controller I think I will factory reset everything and start from scratch.

Soph and I just laughing. Raining here so she checked weather station, .53 inches. Seems it has been up more than down since we were discussing replacement Sunday and I haven’t done anything. Maybe the Davis senses I have a replacement in the WeatherFlow shopping cart.

Check with the State Forestry Dep. They are paid experts. Paid by YOUR taxes.
In Mississippi it's free to the small landowner. I had the local Mississippi State forester work up a management plan for my parcels of land (about 400 acres all told).
One of the main reasons for me to do it was that there was some effort to get the lumber stores to favor "politically correct" wood. Trees grown under a forestry management plan would be more "environmentally" proper.
Basically he cut and pasted from the soil surveys and a few other sources. He came up with about 5 short plans covering various parcels. They had some recommendations but basically all said "grow trees, thin occasionally, cut when mature". Then he put signs on the parcels saying the land was under a forestry management plan. The locals use them for target practice.
During the course of my career I had been involved in writing several environmental plans for areas of forested/"wild" areas of Army Installations from Fort Dix to Fort Bliss. They ran into hundreds of pages, took hundreds of man hours and thousands of dollars.
His plans were about 5 to 10 pages. Might have taken a week to do.
My involvement was limited to discussing how much effort I wanted to put in to maintenance.

But now when I go to sell timber if I'm asked if the timber is and has been in a "managed forest" I can say yes, since about 2010. I view it as one of the little things like getting a passport stamped.

Thanks for the insight.

I made it out of 1/4” steel plate, rolled the top to make it an exact replica of the largest size rural mailbox. Even labeled it “approved by the toastmaster general”.

A “small” twin turboprop is still a comfy pressurized ride, hopefully you will enjoy it.

It’s a friend of mine that keeps it at the airport near my house. He volunteered to drop us in Elizabeth City, he has business in Chesapeake.

Mostly I have no idea which utility the hole diggers belong to, or why they dig the holes.
.

Here They will dig around power poles, then put tar and a wrap at ground level to help stop post rot.

If it’s a private plane like a King Air or Cheyenne it will be much quieter than a commuter, but still bordering on hearing protectors.

It’s a privately owned King Air, I don’t know the model, it’s not new, but knowing him, well kept. They don’t fly the turboprop commuters here for over three years now, all jets.

Perhaps you might want to clarify what exactly it is you are meaning (or looking at) when you use those words ?

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this scenario:

Leaving aside generation of methane via decomposition of biological resources, fossil NG is, for all practical purposes, a finite resource.

Why not then take advantage of wind energy (when present and available) to reduce consumption (aka "conservation") of that finite resource ?

I don’t disagree, but leave in place what works until you are self sustaining on wind, solar, tidal, nuclear or whatever.
