EagleSat Delivers Superior MotoSat Support
Here’s a long overdue shout out to the fine folks at EagleSat. This small family-owned business in Longmont, CO serviced our MotoSat satellite internet system the last time we had problems. Which was apparently not the last time. At the time we had trouble locking on to our Satellite, with frequent motor stall errors. My usual multiple calls to MotoSat for support, and their routine …

Praise be to God’s Middle Finger
Here’s a book review that is long overdue. We originally requested a review copy of American Nomads by Richard Grant, but to make a long story short, we got to review God’s Middle Finger instead. And I’m glad we did. René read it first. She’s a much faster reader than I am, and suggested I write the review – hence the delay. Perhaps she knows …

But that is not to say I didn’t enjoy my, ahem, 43rd birthday. René has a knack for brightening every day of my life. And Halloween this year was …
We left just in time.
Back when Lilla and Neal visited us at Jerry’s Acres, Neal suggested that we were in for a winter of heavy snow. His reasoning was based on a news story he had seen about the local Skunk Cactus — or at least he thinks that’s what the newscaster called this weed, and I think that’s what he called it. Neal mentioned how the height at …
How to monitor your F@#% Access Policy
During our stay at Landa Park in New Braunfels earlier this year, I thought we discovered the headquarters of HughesNet, our mobile satellite internet service provider. But it was just some company with the same name that I have decided to call the team at Hughes: FAPCo FAP (Fair Access Policy, aka: Data Cap) n: A download threshold assigned by Hughes to each HughesNet service …
Time to Head South for Sure
Bonus! Two video posts in a row… At least this one is ours.
