Hey Sweetie,
After spending the morning doing some research and trying to solve my internet problem, I think I've come up with a solution. When my cell phone signal is on the weak side, I'm having a terrible time doing livestreaming once it reaches the choke point and slows down. I've been considering Starlink, but that's a pretty expensive solution. I finally contacted Verizon and learned they could up my plan for $35 more a month and give me nearly three times the gigs, more than I typically use, without reaching a choke point, so I opted to do that to see if it worked. More on that in a minute. Once I did that and some other research, I saddled up Flash and headed out to Matt's Place, a restaurant about five miles south of here, and reachable by trail. I had trouble keeping his boots on, even though I taped the old one, but it nearly lasted until we got there. I was disappointed in the restaurant. I had looked up their menu online and they had some cool stuff, like a Monte Cristo sandwich, taco salad and club sandwich. When I got there, however, and saw their current menu, it was nothing but pizza, burgers and wings. Not really what I was in the mood for, but oh, well. I ended up getting a Philly cheesesteak, and while the bun was nice, and the homemade chips were wonderful, it was all way too salty. Had a Guinness, which was a high point of the meal. Anyway, it was an okay destination, but I don't think I'll be doing that again. Headed back up the Mohawk trail, and again, the boots didn't last half a mile, so I ended up just taking them off, which was a tough choice. The problem here is that there are a lot of rocks and stones, and a lot of mud, the worst combination. Flash wasn't thrilled about the rocks or the mud, but at least I didn't lost any more boots along the way! Got back to camp around 5:30, did my usual chores and settled down for the evening. I finally cranked up the TV to see if my new service plan had improved my live streaming, and I was immediately able to get my Prime going, something I haven't been able to do since I've been here! Yay! Watched an episode of Night Sky, and was so happy to not have any buffering at all! So hopefully this will make my viewing experience better in the future. Another good thing, we've had so much sunshine so far this week, and I've used so little power (since I haven't been able to watch TV, I suppose!) I've only had to run the generator ONCE so far! Though tomorrow is laundry day, so I'll be running it for an hour or so tomorrow. So, despite the less than stellar ride and meal, it was another good day all around. Finishing my usual evening shortly! Good night, baby! Love you!
