Good Morning Everyone. I’m starting a new blog in anticipation of getting my STARLINK MINI. I’m going to take all kinds of pictures of that process. I’m excited about getting this amazing tool! But first – a shot of WINSTON!
According to Cathy, it was his first ride in the JEEP. SO MUCH FUN!
Here is a longer (10 minutes) video of my JEEPING experience:
Unopened package. I took it into DAISEE2 to check it out!
It is cool that they put the directions on the top of the box. It is pretty simple to connect. I had a couple of glitches with the APP, but I think it was just me. My concern now is how to determine how many GB of usage I’ve used. But I don’t think that is going to be an issue for me. I left it out last night and logged on this morning from my office.
This is what you get. I bought the pole with magnet feet separately. It holds VERY TIGHT to the hood of the truck. It’s not going ANYWHERE if I use it. I still worry about it being stolen. Not sure how I’ll get over that.
Look how tiny it looks in the back yard!
So this morning, I tested Starlink for my ZOOM meeting. It worked fine from inside the house. These are the speeds of my two providers. The fastest one is COX and the slower one is Starlink. I couldn’t feel any difference.
I think I did that right, although that note above doesn’t indicate that I’m on the Starlink Mini. But I think I got it right. Anyway, it’s fun to play with it!
This was a great round table from the Women for Trump:
This link should open up a short video of Robin from Creativity RV who convinced me to get the mini (and Robbin Rutherford). I’d been debating about Starlink for months. Couldn’t justify the cost ($900 originally) but thought this MINI would be just the ticket. It was still pricey ($600) but now that it’s paid for, that is water under the bridge. I’m being charged $50 a month for service. Once I’m satisfied with it, I’ll get rid of my Verizon MiFi that is spotty. So that will knock it down to $30 a month. I think I’ll be Happy, Happy, Happy with it. So far so good – 2 days into it!
Look – I have a picture of Metaxa as a kitten – 14 years ago!
One other picture from Catalina – Anne Henderson’s BEAN:
Cathy learning to groom Winston. He looks so GOOD!
Starting this again on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. It’s ELECTION DAY in America. Good luck DJT! I’ll be obsessing about it all day long. But fortunately, I have great internet through DAISEE2. It’s working SO WELL. I’m now waiting for my case to carry it in so I still have it out in the back yard. It is working really well. It’s a game changer for sure! 46 degrees this morning. It has FINALLY cooled down. TUG!
Bought this shirt for Jack. Now I’m bombarded by Trump texts and emails. But it will be over today so it’s ok.
Jack is talking with Keith, our across the street neighbor!
We did it – really JACK did it:
TUG – Trump won! Arizona hasn’t been called and either has Michigan. But he’s WON! He won Michigan so only AZ is to be determined! Funny! It was like that in FL when I was there! Maybe it’s me!
Ziggy was having fun today:
Today is Friday, November 8, 2024. It is the first of our 2 day Garage Sale in the neighborhood. Yesterday, our neighbor Keith opened his yard sale and we bought 3 things from him. A little collapsable chair for Jack to use in the garage, a table that matches our outside patio furniture for a side table for one of the chairs and a soft crochet blanket. We’re going to go around the neighborhood today looking for a bench for the front porch. It’s fun. PLUS I slept (Metaxa let me) until 6AM in THE BED not on the couch!
It snowed in Santa Fe:
I found this chart interesting – indicates Electoral Votes since 1984.
