"Joe" on Amazon Prime video starring Nic Cage.  Fantastic movie!

It’s a goodern👍

Sonja and I watched the Fallout show on Prime.  Mostly true to the lore of the game, and a good series showcasing society as a whole, mega-corporations, and all that fun stuff.

Walton Goggins really shines- ever since I saw him in The Shield, I've been a fan.  His role in Fallout is pretty epic.


Bill- sounds like you got a great set-up!   I'm a huge fan of Mesh networking; we have 3 TPLink Mesh nodes, but with less than 900 square feet of coverage needed, none are hooked up (just using our base router/modem and an 8-port switch for hard-wiring my work stuff).  Down the road, we'll be setting up a LoRa mesh network to cover 15 acres, but that's after we sell the old house and build a shop.

Yeah, I found out today the the signal is kinda weak in the metal clad shack with the door closed. I might need to relocate and reroute a few things to bump up the connection. I just need to think about it a bit.. I don't want to add another router as a repeater but I might have to go that route.

I guess you've never heard of a faraday cage?

Yeah, I have.. I guess I was just hopeful because of how close it was to the router in the bedroom. No biggie, I'll cave and chain another router in. I forgot about the flat screen streaming off of the router in the bar so I can't take that one and hardwire the desktop PC. It's all good, it's just a short hop for Ethernet.

Bill, you can build a cantenna pretty easy.  I've contemplated that route for WiFi in our shed a few hundred yards away.  A "neighbor" a few lots away has major throughput throughput on his cantenna set-up- streaming HD content in his barn.  OTOH, I've been reading more about LoRa WiFi.  I'm not in any rush since I don't even have a shop yet.

Yeah, I think that metal clad shed is going to block most of any wireless signal from the outside. I found the same with the Red Shed. I'll need as much of the signal as I can get if I want to stream DTV in there.  I'll just run the outdoor cat 5 and put a router in the shack... total cost, about $50 or less. I have a section of 2" abs pipe that the electric runs through from the pole to the shed. I can fish the cat 5 through and won't have to go over head where falling branches and wind would tear it down.

 Cantenna's are fun to tinker with, and work good too.

I've been listening to YouTube, Ironclad channel while working. 

Also been enjoying the Peter Santanello YT channel- he's a great journalist and covers a lot of territory.

Typical Twainism.

I remember when I was a boy I wanted to be just like Huck Finn when I grew up.

I had the 2 race IndyCar weekend at Iowa recorded and put them on when I got up this morning.
Race 1 is a 250 lap race on this 9/10 mile oval track on Sat. evening and race 2 is also a 250 lap day race on Sunday.
Consider speeds nearing 200mph on a mile long oval with 90f ambient temps and track temps at 120f.
I'm not going to post the videos but they can be found on You Tube for those interested.
Race 1 began with a first lap crash and race 2 ended with a last lap crash. These were not just hit the wall crashes. These were barrel rolling and airborne crashes with one driver leaving the track on a stretcher.
I am normally a Nascar and Motocross fan but IndyCar as well as F1 racing are very entertaining.

I have been to a couple at the Milwaukee Mile and Road America is 25 miles south of me, closer than most Walmarts LOL
