Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Me too. The really only internet here is SuddenLink. They must have had some type of deal with del web. They also provide land line, cable TV, internet and home security. I did not have 80-300 channels in the country and I don't want them now. The cable people here seem to think people cannot live without the weather channel, ESPN and the 24 hour news stations. I educated them. The OTA guys from the TV shop came out and said I can get free OTA TV with this: Amazon.com: Winegard GS-22�� Sensar III Digital Ready Antenna: Home Audio & Theater and they have installed many in Sun City with good viewing results. I also returned the modem from Suddenlink internet service and bought a better NetGear modem so I don't have to rent their equipment. I'll end up with about the same set-up as in the country but with a much faster cable internet for about $10 less a month.

Whipper is up to two a 2 block walk without loosing her nerve.

That's the antenna I had on my MH. It brought in Austin easily from Lexington. I had the addition that showed up on link you provided. GS wing. You can also add a good digital amplifier.
I have a a King Jack antenna on my house with the above amplifier and a 12 VDC power pack.
Make sure you are visiting a AT&T company store. I have my 3 iPhones using WiFi calling. Took my Verizion 1 line phone and made it work everywhere in house.

Poured second cup of coffee. 52° with sunny skies this morning. Heading to 83° with mostly sunny skies. Got lawn cut yesterday. Plus last of the EBAY items that I had listed shipped. Going to get Flail mower hooked up to tractor today and mow about 3 acres.

Randy, glad Ellen's mother is doing better.

Don, next Whipper will be doing 3 blocks. :thumbsup:

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Only problem is if your phone is older than the 6 models AT&T doesn’t support WiFi calling on them, even though the phone is capable. I have 7plus phones and they work fine on WiFi, plus I switched to Comcast anyway.

Don, there is Microcell from AT&T or this AT&T Signal Booster - WilsonAmplifiers.com

I have the newest version of Microcell and it works great, but you need to check to see what is required for it to function where you are. I no longer have AT&T and would gladly send it to you if you can use it, I got it free.

Randy, I get only 1 or 2 bars mostly one inside the house, Internet is from cable not phone line so I don't know if the Microcell will work. Does it have a connection for cable internet? The WilsonAmplifier may be what I need. Thanks for the links to research.

Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 5:30AM. Sunny. High 84F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

A couple days ago, about 500,000 people in the areas the California Public Utilities Commission has designated "Extreme Risk" were notified by PG&E, the local electrical utility, that it would preemptively cut power under certain weather conditions to prevent wildfires. This is primarily in response to the firestorms kicked off by high winds blowing trees into power lines last fall in the Santa Rosa and Santa Barbara areas. The hue and cry going up from the sheeple has been immense, largely from those on well systems that rely on electricity for water pressure, but also from those dependent on various electric powered medical devices. I've been meaning to get a transfer switch installed so I can hook a Honda generator up to power the house and well, and it looks like it's time to follow through on that. I'll never forget the sinking feeling I had during the Saddle Fire as flames roared across the canyon and the water I was using to hose down the outside of the house and landscaping just stopped. Anyway, yesterday we saw what may have been the first instance of this practice when a small brush fire threatened power lines a few miles south of here and power to 1500 homes was cut. The outage only lasted 45 minutes, and I wasn't even home at the time. I have mixed emotions about the practice, as it could end up saving lives, but the utility has a history of diverting funds away from power line right-of-way maintenance, and in my opinion it is this lack of proper tree clearance that is at the heart of the problem. It is what it is, though, and the simple expedient is to install the transfer switch and be ready should the need arise. Some of you have installed stationary propane generators with automatic transfer switches, and I'd be curious to learn about any issues you've had with reliability and/or maintenance.

Uneventful trip to town yesterday; picked up motorcycle parts and groceries.

TGIF!:drink:

The microcell uses my Comcast cable internet.
