How's your day been?

[Nature Man]

Not the best part of the day going or coming home. At least I found a station that allowed me to fill up without auto stopping on a stupid dollar limit……

Ouch!

I was hoping to have my Starlink Mini before the trip and of course it arrived Monday. Very unexciting in many ways and extremely simple but I can now work from a campground. Took an easy, relaxed 30 minutes to connect, download the software update, name the network with password and just check a few things. They do offer standby mode so until Denise and I go out again in mid October it’s packed away in a case.

Good to hear info about Starlink. First feedback I’ve heard. Chuck

I’ve been using the home Starlink for about 3.5 years. It is fantastic, especially in areas without cable service. Of course I’m not a gamer and don’t stretch the bandwidth so I can’t really judge on those terms, but I work from home, stream movies and am on a tablet or phone with my wife at the same time and we normally don’t see any buffering. Matter of fact, I can’t prove that any buffering was due to Starlink. And weather, snow or rain, doesn’t matter. There was an issue with Starlink networks and they were offline or intermittent service for a few hours ….can’t even remember when.

I am a total fan.

And Exon and Cheveron just had the 2 highest quarters ever.

Closed the rivers, expound please. Like no swimming and boating? I would think with water levels down they would allow fishing versus seeing them die other ways. Or are they catch and release? See the stress in that.

Both, recreation and fishing. It is catch and release. With so little snowpack the rivers just never had enough water. Then higher than usual temps were driving river temperatures into the high 60s or higher. Might have started voluntary non-fishing after 2 or so as the day warms up (what we had in our area) but they (not sure who “they” are) decided on full closure. Not sure why they closed recreational use such as tubing and rafting. I mean no fun on low water, but that regulates itself.

Yep, I wasn’t empty. I think my Ram is 32 gallons, but this was the cheapest I had seen it all week at $5.89.9. Most everywhere going up last Sunday and during the week was $5.99. Then coming home Thursday we started seeing $6.28. So when I saw this an hour from home I thought better fill it.

we're nearing $7 for diesel here
