Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Well I thought so, but have been seeing some chatter over club e-mails that the tractor door can't be opened because of some upper rail problem. Might have to do a door repair first. Just another small obstacle, not a problem.

Sounds like that tractor needs you maybe a little bit more than you need it, Don. Hope you get to it in time to save it.

The Verizon Wireless rep I spoke to was really pushing a device that routed cell phone calls over WiFi and then to the Internet. I explained to him that my Internet comes in via satellite, and the latency makes voice communication next to impossible. I offered to call him using WiFi calling from the iPhone before he slowed down enough to understand what I was trying to tell him. So yeah, you need a pretty passable Internet connection before one of those M-cell gadgets is gonna work for you. Most of us hicks out in the sticks don't have anything near good enough to qualify, and Verizon just don't get it.

I have a neighbor happy with the Surecall Fusion 5s
SureCall Fusion5s Signal Booster (+ $141 in Bonus Accessories)

I had an M cell for a few years and it worked great until one day it quit. AT&T refused to replace, said use wifi calling.

28 right now...we didn't get that added snow that was predicted...I estimate we got a total of 5-7 inches.
High today in the mid-20's and snow showers this morning

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Up early for an alphabet letter. We got high wind warning till afternoon.

 

[mpham]

Looks like the next 5days are going to be extremely cold. Single digits at night with 20’s for highs. Still no snow on the ground here. Hopefully frost doesn’t go deep enough to freeze the water lines. Pellet stove will earn it’s money. Stay warm and dry all.

 

[Looking4new]

5 and going up to 9°F. Wind NNW 17 gusting ti 31 mph. Sunny!

We got another couple of inches yesterday. I will clean that up today before I go to town and the dump.

Sno cleanup, dump and town, that is it! Conserve energy the rest of the day.

Have a good day all

 

[wngsprd]

28 and windy going to 39.

RNG, sorry to read about your vendor problems...never any fun.

Don, good job on your sleuthing.

I got some seat time yesterday. Finally dried out enough to cross the bottom and bridge and cut some firewood. Then split and stacked a pallet full...then seemed like all of a sudden it was getting dark...a long day of work...it feels like it is staying light out a bit longer now.

About on Tuesday, it is 19 now. Yikes is that a cool down. And off for a road trip to a customer delivery. Hopefully we are underground most of the time where it will be a balmy 55 or so in the mine.

Better get moving....llwho knows what the roads are like with last evenings snow squalls

 

[Buppies]

20 high of32 still very windy today think most of our snow this weekend will be sleet

Prayers for all

 

[Thomas]

the original geothermal...
Welcome Rich, drive carefully, may all your canaries stay happy

 

[daugen]

40 feet of wet snow, be careful Thomas.
Begs the question...where are the teenagers looking for money? Do they still shovel snow like we did?

cold day here, but clear and dry. Electrician due in with ditchwitch, will get some pics of that. Including when it hits the buried
trunk of Blackbeard's gold...:dance1:

Drinking first cup of coffee. 22° with light snow and cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 26° with cloudy skies. PT was OK yesterday. Got home and felt chilled. Put on some warm sweats and stayed inside and conserved energy all day. PT is racking up the exercises. I now have 8 to do 2 times a day. Amazingly my arm is not giving the pain that I was experiencing previous month. A westerly 10 mph wind is bring lake effect snow all the way to my area. But they are only flurries. Looks like a good sized storm in Ohio Valley will miss us again.

RNG, I need to close my AT&T account. Not looking forward to that call. My Xfinity Mobile (uses Verizon) is working OK. I get dropped calls at times. But always seems to happen on calls longer that 15 minutes. Not a problem except when on hold for 20 minutes. I only have 1 line in our living room. But Wi-Fi calling works good. I have 250 mbps download. Up is 24 mbps. When traveling with our motorhome. I had signal boosters that worked well in remote areas. If I remember correct they were from Wilson.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Good morning! 42 ˚F heading to 65 ˚F partly cloudy N wind 2mph.

Today is the day, got a confirmation e-mail for this morning. I have to keep very alert on what the clubs can barter with to get the use of the tractor. That way I can double the seat time by tractor spanning between two clubs that can utilize the tractor with their projects, but I can't be too quick or I will mess it all up. I have to make them think it's their idea and they will benefit. Slow and easy does it . . . But first I have to pass a training class on a GREEN tractor with those confusing two pedals, is the one closest to the steering wheel forward? Wait that dosen't make sense it's the pedal on the left of the left, right?

Feeling younger already:

Good Morning All.

I switched to Xfinity in August of 2017, the M cell made my old AT&T work great, but at twice the price of Xfinity it wasn’t that great. WiFi calling is 95 % effective, but you are right, they have a dropped call issue. I complained and they boosted my signal according to them and it fixed about 8/10 dropping issues.

Don, I’m glad the Mcell is working for you.

That tractor will fit in your garage.

 

[toppop52]

32, after a 30 early, still not sure how much snow rain and sleet is coming.

Great day and God’s Blessing.

 

[Buppies]

Toppop guessing 1 to 3 for you maybe more the models generally progress north thru time. I’m going to get mainly sleet

29 outside this AM. Heading to 39. Snow showers came through most of the day yesterday. An event is predicted for this weekend.
Got the estimates on the wind damage to the outbuildings. KA-CHING. That should be fun with the insurance company.
Found a part-time gig to get me through this issue with our government. Will start this afternoon.

Not much planned for today other than real work.

..Most of us hicks out in the sticks don't have anything near good enough to qualify, and Verizon just don't get it.

Yeah, they have no clue. For years we have had more than adequate 4G service here. This past year, same signal strength, dropped calls, low speed to no speed data connections... I went back and forth with Verizon. They admitted they do not guarantee their service offerings. And if I wanted to drop them it would be no issue. WTH. I am bewildered on that attitude.
