Speaker 1: Well that's all right. Let's uh this is this is
Speaker 1: an experiment.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, there we go, all right, let me know, yeah,
Speaker 2: it keeps seems like it's not working very well. You guys,
Speaker 2: let me know what you think. What you what you see?
Speaker 2: If you can hear me at all? Uh? Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: there was no audio in that scene. There should be
Speaker 2: audio now, no not you hear you and see you now? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: is it dropping? Is it lagging? It's lagging here? You
Speaker 2: just froze. Yeah, wow, well there you go. Yes, dropping.
Speaker 2: Yeah I thought so, I thought so. Okay, audio not
Speaker 2: being in the scene, Tim, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: Audio not being in the scene.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Well, uh, there we go. Okay, no buffering and no
Speaker 2: audio it's about Yeah, it is buffering. It is buffering.
Speaker 2: I know it's buffering. I'm watching it buffer and you
Speaker 2: should have audio though. There's audio in I'm pumping audio
Speaker 2: in there. Low audio? Well I can I can turn
Speaker 2: that up. Oh that's too loud?
Speaker 3: Whoa, here we go.
Speaker 2: How's that right there? That could be right there? How's
Speaker 2: that smooth here for me?
Speaker 3: So far? Okay?
Speaker 2: Loud and clear in Virginia, loud and clear Ron says,
Speaker 2: there you go bit hot. Well that's at Yeah, it
Speaker 2: is a bit hot, because that's why I had it
Speaker 2: turned down. I don't have a miccore digital Dreamer, and
Speaker 2: everybody else says, I have audio. Let's see looks and
Speaker 2: sounds good to me. Graham and Poda good here a
Speaker 2: E two w weh okay so five nine on the repeater,
Speaker 2: sounds good, Brandon good here k E eight wag Craig
Speaker 2: I X Finny's terrible. Here. It drops all the time,
Speaker 2: all the time, and it's very slow. So when we
Speaker 2: hooked up so I hooked up starlink earlier today. Actually,
Speaker 2: actually I've had starlink running for the last three or
Speaker 2: four days, sitting on the back patio. And when we
Speaker 2: mounted it to the roof, I had someone come out
Speaker 2: and professionally install it mounted up the roof, pointing in
Speaker 2: the right direction, there's no obstructions. And when I did that,
Speaker 2: I got about forty five up and about two hundred down.
Speaker 2: And the guy told me, he's like, I've installed starlink
Speaker 2: stuff all over the island, And he said that it
Speaker 2: usually when you reboot the system or first plug it in.
Speaker 2: He says it can take twelve to twenty four hours
Speaker 2: to fully connect and whatnot and get proper bandwidth speeds.
Speaker 2: But I did a bandwidth test. I did like a
Speaker 2: speed test right before I went live, and it was
Speaker 2: much lower than that. So I've got this right here
Speaker 2: for you guys who's going to do this on the stream.
Speaker 2: Go to here is starlink yipt. It will speed up
Speaker 2: after couple a couple of days, That's what That's what
Speaker 2: I said too. So the speed was awesome when we
Speaker 2: first plugged it in earlier. After I first got it
Speaker 2: mounted on the top of the house or on the
Speaker 2: side of the house and pointed straight up with no
Speaker 2: obstructions at all, it was great. Like I said, it
Speaker 2: was like, let me know if that audio is hot.
Speaker 2: It was about forty to forty five up and about
Speaker 2: two hundred down. Craig, are you an Exfinity tech on
Speaker 2: Galveston Island on the west end, because I think Exfinity
Speaker 2: probably works fine in town, but out here with the
Speaker 2: salt air and the corroded connections, it doesn't. I've had
Speaker 2: an Exfinity tech out here numerous times. He says, you
Speaker 2: just need to get your install set up correctly with
Speaker 2: the Exfinity logging your router and check all the signal levels. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've done that like five times. I've done it twice
Speaker 2: in the last two months. And yeah, Exfinity sucks in
Speaker 2: this area. It might be great somewhere else, but it's
Speaker 2: terrible out here. So I've been dealing with this problem
Speaker 2: for six years and it drops, it drops, its slow,
Speaker 2: the upload is terrible, the download is usually good, bloat
Speaker 2: is terrible. No, it's it's not a good. Plus plus,
Speaker 2: they went up in their price recently. It was three
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month now and starlink is one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty one hundred and sixty five a month. And
Speaker 2: guess what, most people aren't going to live stream who
Speaker 2: stay here at this vacation mental house. So it's been
Speaker 2: working great, watching TV, browsing the internet, doing crap on
Speaker 2: the internet. So well, i spent six years not getting
Speaker 2: the right tech, so I'm kind of sick of it.
Speaker 2: So they if they can't send me the right tech
Speaker 2: in in six years, then yeah, it's I'm done with them.
Speaker 2: Too bad for you. So I wish they were better.
Speaker 2: They're just out here on the west end of Galveston
Speaker 2: where there's not much infrastructure, and the lines all get
Speaker 2: corroded from the salt air and we're far away from
Speaker 2: the switching station or whatever. Just doesn't just yeah, uh,
Speaker 2: you get someone to look at every single line, it
Speaker 2: would be gold. No, we've done that, Like I said,
Speaker 2: we've done that, I don't know eight ten times over
Speaker 2: the last six years. No, trust me, we've done all that.
Speaker 2: We've done all of that. It's not that. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: not that. So you want to come out here and
Speaker 2: look at it, you're welcome to. But it's not that.
Speaker 2: That ain't what it is anyway. And plus, like I said,
Speaker 2: it's twice the price of the Starlink now anyway. So
Speaker 2: let's see. So I got the unlimited plan in Starlink
Speaker 2: and we're gonna do it. I want to do a
Speaker 2: speed test right now. Let's see what it looks like
Speaker 2: right there. You guys can see that. Yeah, that's my
Speaker 2: zoom screen there. Okay, so let's see what that looks
Speaker 2: like right there. Exfinity would usually give me about one
Speaker 2: hundred down and about eight to ten up, maybe between
Speaker 2: five and ten up something like that, and this one's
Speaker 2: giving me two hundred down. You can see that right now.
Speaker 2: That's about what it was earlier when I first set
Speaker 2: it up, and they gave me about forty up. Much
Speaker 2: much better then. Yeah, okay, there you go. That's the
Speaker 2: speed I was getting when we first installed it. And
Speaker 2: it seems to be kind of up and down. It
Speaker 2: seems better now. I don't know, it kind of caught
Speaker 2: up to itself. And yeah, okay, so twenty four millisecond
Speaker 2: lag time, twenty four megabits up, that's good to twenty
Speaker 2: five down. I'll take that. I'll take that all day long.
Speaker 2: I would just see how consistent it is. So again,
Speaker 2: I've been running it for like three days, been watching YouTube, TV,
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime, no problems. I wanted to do a live
Speaker 2: stream because just to see how it was. I've live
Speaker 2: stream for my Sterlink Mini at my hunting Lease before
Speaker 2: and it's usually pretty good. But yeah, you are solid now,
Speaker 2: thanks Jim. Yeah, this is Starlink Andy, That's that's what
Speaker 2: I'm doing. This is I just I just went live
Speaker 2: to test a Starlink connection. I'm supposed to be live
Speaker 2: streaming from here on Sunday night with a guest, and
Speaker 2: I want it to go well. So I'm trying to
Speaker 2: trying to see how well it works. But yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a yeah, that's that's a good to that's a good test. There,
Speaker 2: let's run it again just for the heck of it.
Speaker 2: Can you open ports my wires x steeds? Oh oh
Speaker 2: on starlink. I'm not sure. I don't think so. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I see one twenty six down right there still a
Speaker 2: good upload speed though, forty three up is screaming? Yeah,
Speaker 2: hop on here, Dave. I thought Rob was gonna hop
Speaker 2: on with me, but he's Rob's going live here in
Speaker 2: like two hours for his late late night stream. But
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him in the chat. He might be
Speaker 2: busy with dinner or something. That's cool. This was a
Speaker 2: very last minute thing. I just kind of decided to
Speaker 2: do this about an hour ago. So, okay, twenty percent
Speaker 2: more than you pay for, Craig, I assume you're probably
Speaker 2: in a much better area, and I am Craig. I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to argue with you, but guess what the
Speaker 2: speeds I was paying for was one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: five down. We never got that. We got if we
Speaker 2: got one hundred down, we were lucky. It was really
Speaker 2: not good. What's up, dude? Uh oh? You can't hear me.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Oh that's not good. Okay, hold on, second,
Speaker 2: where's my.
Speaker 4: Was that me?
Speaker 2: Or you?
Speaker 5: Me? Zoom? Okay, no, I'm muted? Okay, all right, um.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah that's better. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't have it muted, so I just I
Speaker 2: just closed. It's fine. I'm getting the speeds out. I
Speaker 2: can still. I can still go in to Starling Cad
Speaker 2: just to you what it was. What's up, dude? How
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That's not on? Hold on? How about now? Cool? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: you got you've moved into the r V Huh are
Speaker 2: you in the backyard? Are you of your house? Okay?
Speaker 4: Cool?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, they can't hear you?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: Fix that rope? Okay, now they can hear you. He's
Speaker 2: at an RV park.
Speaker 6: Yeah, at an RV park here in Casterville, trying. That's
Speaker 6: perfect time for me to test make sure everything still works.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, good, well good? So how's that going? You
Speaker 2: get all moved in and whatnot?
Speaker 3: About halfway there?
Speaker 6: Okay, goes kitchen, the shack I just don't have.
Speaker 3: That's where the three D printer is gonna go.
Speaker 2: Don't nice? Good?
Speaker 6: Uh, but yeah, first time spending the night tonight, so
Speaker 6: I got it a couple few days ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Good, We're gonna do ah, We're gonna do a live
Speaker 2: stream a week from Sunday and Dave's gonna come on
Speaker 2: several other people. We're gonna talk about Hamcash camping. So
Speaker 2: that's gonna be fun. The first time I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: to see your campers. So yeah, totally cool. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 2: you're you're pretty You're pretty solid here. You're not chopping
Speaker 2: out or anything, and it's, uh, it's working working pretty well.
Speaker 6: Right now, and I'm getting The last test I did
Speaker 6: was two seventeen down and thirty two up.
Speaker 2: So Paul says, don't He says, don't deny us the
Speaker 2: mesh dealer's voice because you're a muted a minute ago.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I've been wanting to I've been wanting
Speaker 2: to change this for a while because it's finding down
Speaker 2: here is just terrible. So been having to deal with
Speaker 2: them for the and see the problem is that they
Speaker 2: don't have a package in this area that's internet only.
Speaker 2: It's Internet and TV, and I don't want their freaking
Speaker 2: cable TV. You know, I've got a Roku and all
Speaker 2: my TVs and I'm about to put a smart TV
Speaker 2: in the bedroom here, and it's you know, I think
Speaker 2: people the way people travel these days, you know, they
Speaker 2: they take their Netflix and YouTube TV accounts with them,
Speaker 2: you know, so they can log in and watch their
Speaker 2: own stuff if they're here. So I don't I don't
Speaker 2: really want the TV package. But they don't offer a
Speaker 2: non TV non they don't offer a package that's internet only.
Speaker 2: And we were paying like two hundred and eighty five
Speaker 2: dollars a month and and now it's TV and now
Speaker 2: it's and now they went up mute me, Tim, so Sean,
Speaker 2: that's the problem. I have fiber at home. I have
Speaker 2: a five hundred megabit pipe up and down at home
Speaker 2: and is fantastic. There's no fiber out here on the
Speaker 2: West End. The day they put fiber out here on
Speaker 2: the West End, it'll be here. I will happily switch
Speaker 2: to fiber fiber to the premise. I would love FTTP
Speaker 2: fiber to the premise out here, but no, not out
Speaker 2: I think they have it in town but in some
Speaker 2: areas of town, but not out here. Nope, no fiber. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2: What's up, Tim?
Speaker 4: Not much man?
Speaker 7: I didn't know we were bagging on expenity that I would
Speaker 7: have been on here sooner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every time I'm in Galveston, man, this's is just
Speaker 2: what we do. I'm sorry, you know. And I've put
Speaker 2: stuff on the a couple of the Facebook Galveston groups
Speaker 2: that I'm on and saying why does infinity suck so badly?
Speaker 2: With and people from town are like, what are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 3: It's great?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, So either one of two things.
Speaker 2: Either people in Galveston don't know what good internet actually
Speaker 2: looks like, but more likely what it is is that
Speaker 2: it's just it just works much better in town with
Speaker 2: the higher density population than it does way out here
Speaker 2: on the West end in the sand and close to
Speaker 2: the water, say.
Speaker 3: With that salty air blowing on you constantly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have to get I have to have
Speaker 2: a tech come out and they check all the lines
Speaker 2: and this we did this when we were here at
Speaker 2: New Year's They check all the line and the coaxiocable
Speaker 2: connections to all the different places outside they rust every
Speaker 2: couple of years. So they come out and they check
Speaker 2: all the lines, They replace all the coaxio cable connections,
Speaker 2: They actually replaced my cables this time, not just the
Speaker 2: connections but the cables, and it worked better, you know,
Speaker 2: it did improve it. But I'm still not getting the
Speaker 2: speeds that I pay for. And it seems like when
Speaker 2: I livestream it drops, you don't really kind of you
Speaker 2: kind of don't really notice it other than that. But
Speaker 2: I mean, guess what I do for a living, so
Speaker 2: I need something that's a little bit more stable than
Speaker 2: just you know, Plus it's just so it's so expensive.
Speaker 2: It's just so expensive. Starlink is literally half the price,
Speaker 2: and it's already given me better speeds if if it
Speaker 2: stops dropping, which is not doing now. Head dropped now
Speaker 2: it's solid, So I don't know.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: One thing you'll get, and I've noticed this sometimes is
Speaker 6: because it's constantly looking, you know, it's tracking.
Speaker 3: This satellite and then picking that satellite.
Speaker 6: Every now and then you'll get one that's crap right,
Speaker 6: and everything will drop down, and then it'll catch the
Speaker 6: next one and everything will jump back up.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, yeah, but I know the t O
Speaker 2: stream from starlink a bunch, and I've streamed from starlink
Speaker 2: and the location not from here, but in other locations,
Speaker 2: and I don't know. It seems like it's seems like
Speaker 2: it's okay, but it's it's probably very location dependent though,
Speaker 2: so I don't know.
Speaker 4: Your audio sounds different through Zoom than it does do.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's hot on Zoom, but it's perfect on
Speaker 6: the live stream.
Speaker 4: Okay, you heard that too, then, Dave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh, it's the same microphone in both places. So well,
Speaker 2: the live stream is going through well, the live stream
Speaker 2: is going through OBS and I can control the audio
Speaker 2: level there, but I haven't most adjusted the audio levels
Speaker 2: in Zoom.
Speaker 3: So so yeah, you're a little hot here, a little driven, all.
Speaker 2: Right, But you said it sounds good on the YouTube side.
Speaker 2: That's that's what counts so good. Let's see.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I And to be fair, I've always had general generally
Speaker 7: good luck. I've got it's like one point three gig down. Well,
Speaker 7: it's been one point three gig down. It's it's recently
Speaker 7: just dropped under a gig and uh whatever. They're capped
Speaker 7: at thirty or forty megabit up, which is but with
Speaker 7: Exfinity Exfinity okay, yeah, here the house. But the downfall
Speaker 7: for me is I've got four people that are active
Speaker 7: and streaming you know, live to or gaming stuff like that.
Speaker 7: So we're pushing that forty megabit pretty tightly.
Speaker 3: And I.
Speaker 7: When I spoke to them the other day, they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: you can do the two gig service now, and I
Speaker 7: don't know, it was like three hundred gig up And
Speaker 7: then then eventually it turned out that the people in
Speaker 7: Nindia didn't know what they were talking about.
Speaker 2: Well, uh I I put a put a post on
Speaker 2: Instagram the other day and somebody came back and said,
Speaker 2: I think it was just yesterday. Somebody came back and said,
Speaker 2: my staring link dish is covered in snow right now,
Speaker 2: and I'm out here playing games online because it's so
Speaker 2: cold outside and I'm like cool.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 6: And one of the cool things because you have the
Speaker 6: Gen three dish is it has a heater and right
Speaker 6: we ice sober up here.
Speaker 3: I just looked the heater and it melted everything off.
Speaker 2: You do that in the app?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, okay, I said to Auto. Yeah, I was
Speaker 6: getting ice built up, so I just kicked it on.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Twenty minutes later it was free, so okay, okay ice
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, we had a quarter of inch of
Speaker 3: ice covering everything.
Speaker 2: Texas gets ice. We get ice much more often than
Speaker 2: we get actual snow. Yeah, it ice is part every year.
Speaker 7: I saw el Marie had Uh put a video out
Speaker 7: from field day and she looked like she had snow
Speaker 7: at her house.
Speaker 4: Or maybe that was ice too, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It could have been either one. I think it was.
Speaker 2: There was parts of North Texas that were predicted for snow.
Speaker 2: We'll get snow about once every two to three years
Speaker 2: in North Texas, but we get ice storms almost every year.
Speaker 2: So it's just everything ices and gets slick, and then
Speaker 2: you know, it's no fun because ice is stupid. It's
Speaker 2: snow at least is fun. People gone skiing in the
Speaker 2: snow in other states, but no one goes skiing on ice,
Speaker 2: so ice is just dumb.
Speaker 4: They go bob sledding.
Speaker 2: But right, yeah, yeah, we had a we had a
Speaker 2: bob sled team.
Speaker 4: Maybe she's in the Dallas Fort Worth area too, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's up there. Yep. That's it. Well it
Speaker 2: seems pretty solid, so.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. We are right. You have the resident package, right.
Speaker 2: No, I have the Rome package still. I might switch
Speaker 2: it to the residential, but I have this.
Speaker 6: It's residential because it residential unlimited gets priority over everybody else.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's good to know.
Speaker 6: So, Okay, when there's a lot of people paying, the satellites,
Speaker 6: like my Rome package will drop, right, I'll go down
Speaker 6: to one hundred megabits instead of two hundred megats.
Speaker 3: It's down. The residential packages stay capped, they get priority.
Speaker 4: So isn't the residential cheaper also?
Speaker 6: Yeah, residentials a little bit cheaper ten twenty bucks cheaper?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, I have enough. I looked at residential
Speaker 2: here in Galveston like four years ago and it wasn't available.
Speaker 2: I had to get on a waiting list. And that
Speaker 2: was right before the Rome package started. And as soon
Speaker 2: as the Rome package started, I cancel with my reservation
Speaker 2: for the residential here and just bought the Rome package.
Speaker 2: So I've always had the Room package. But it it
Speaker 2: very I mean, they said, they said, we're just we're
Speaker 2: launching more satellites. Be patient, and I'm like, well, by
Speaker 2: that was four years ago. By now it's probably you know,
Speaker 2: it's probably, it's probably available, but I will look at
Speaker 2: I thought about looking into that because you can switch
Speaker 2: the plan anytime you want to.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, and the the the the Limited plan. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you guys know this or not, but the
Speaker 2: limited plan was fifty gig fifty bucks a month for
Speaker 2: fifty gigs, and like four days ago they upgraded it.
Speaker 2: It's it's still the same prize, fifty bucks a month,
Speaker 2: and now it's one hundred gigs a month.
Speaker 6: I saw that, so yeah, that was right about the
Speaker 6: same time switched because this is the dish that I
Speaker 6: was using for the camp I used for the camper,
Speaker 6: and right after I switched it to unlimited, they bumped
Speaker 6: that up. I was like, oh, okay, thanks, yeah, but
Speaker 6: I'm going to use gig a month anyway.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to put a link in the chat
Speaker 2: right now, and if you guys follow that link, well,
Speaker 2: hold on, maybe I won't. Okay, follow this link in
Speaker 2: the chat that I'll put in here in a second,
Speaker 2: and you can get a free month if you use
Speaker 2: my link. I get a month and you get a
Speaker 2: free month. There's no affiliate program per se, but you know,
Speaker 2: I get a free monk and you get a three month,
Speaker 2: So it's good. I locked in earlier. And apparently three
Speaker 2: people who have used that link because I have three
Speaker 2: three three three months coming to me, another wrong with
Speaker 2: that referrals here we go copy referral link here it
Speaker 2: is right here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it looks I'm just looking at their availability map.
Speaker 4: It's been a lot since I've looked at this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: All of North America.
Speaker 7: Has coverage now, h good, only only a little bit
Speaker 7: in Central America. Looks like Nicaragua does not have it.
Speaker 7: Which that looks like it's probably lay and belize that
Speaker 7: looks like that. That's that's probably done for a reason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so you probably so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Can you bank your sterlink time? Like T Bubble and
Speaker 2: at and T years ago? I assume when you say
Speaker 2: bank it does it roll over? And know it does not? No,
Speaker 2: that's one bad thing about it does not of course
Speaker 2: if you have the unlimited package. I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 2: the time does not roll over month to month with
Speaker 2: the with the limited fifty dollars a month package.
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, it's like the singular singular networking right.
Speaker 2: But you know they're changing stuff all the time. I mean,
Speaker 2: I thought fifty gigs a month for fifty bucks a
Speaker 2: month was pretty good because I have that on my
Speaker 2: mini dish, so I have two dishes I have. Now
Speaker 2: this gen three here. I had the Gen two dish.
Speaker 2: I brought it out here at New Year's I hooked
Speaker 2: it up, it never would connect. So I'd opened a
Speaker 2: ticket with Sterlink, which Sterlink support is actually quite good.
Speaker 2: I've had very good experience with Starlink support. So they
Speaker 2: did a couple of ping tests and they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: we'll just send you a new dish. That one's been discontinued.
Speaker 2: We're going to send you the Gen three, you send
Speaker 2: the Gen two back to us. I said fine, and
Speaker 2: like a day later, the Gen two just started working
Speaker 2: and I replied in the ticket and I'm like it's
Speaker 2: working out, and they're like, well, still that dishes discontinue,
Speaker 2: just go ahead and send it back to some I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: So I got the new Gen three dish and that's
Speaker 2: the one that I have here now. But I've had
Speaker 2: the mini dish for like a year, and as you know,
Speaker 2: I don't use it every day. I use it when
Speaker 2: I'm on trips, I use it when I'm at the
Speaker 2: Hunting Lease, i use it on when I'm at national parks.
Speaker 2: I've never used more than about fifty gigs a month. Well,
Speaker 2: I did at the Hunting lease, we would watch YouTube
Speaker 2: or Netflix or something out there at night after the
Speaker 2: sun went down. So I used it during like November December,
Speaker 2: but generally speaking, I don't use more than fifty gigs
Speaker 2: a month. But now that it's one hundred gigs a month,
Speaker 2: and I think that's going to be I think that's
Speaker 2: going to be great. So I want to put it
Speaker 2: on the truck and let it run my All Star
Speaker 2: stuff for a while and just kind of test it
Speaker 2: and see how well it works and that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: So is it.
Speaker 7: Well, it's probably not going to do bidirectional because of
Speaker 7: the genie at right yea, you could initiate sessions outwards with.
Speaker 2: Your node, correct, Yeah, And I don't really want anyone
Speaker 2: connect Yeah, I don't want anyone connecting to me anyway.
Speaker 2: I mean I don't. I mean sure, if it would work,
Speaker 2: then sure, but I don't really care. I mean I can't.
Speaker 2: That's why I have my All Star hub running a
Speaker 2: cloud service, so anyone can connect from anywhere and that
Speaker 2: way it's not dependent on my internet at my location.
Speaker 2: But it's yeah, I know they can't connect to me
Speaker 2: because I'm behind the double NAT, but they do offer
Speaker 2: a I was looking through the plans yesterday when we
Speaker 2: hooked this up or a couple of days ago. They
Speaker 2: do offer a static IP. Now it's like it's like
Speaker 2: an extra forty dollars a month or something which like that,
Speaker 2: which seems like seems kind of high. But I'm if
Speaker 2: you're using it for business and this is your only
Speaker 2: way to get it and it's gonna work for you,
Speaker 2: you need a static IP. But yeah, they have they
Speaker 2: have six or seven different plans. That used to be
Speaker 2: they have one plan, then they came up with the
Speaker 2: second plan. Now they got like six plans out there.
Speaker 2: So pretty good. Uh, you guys ready for himcashon?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, looking forward to.
Speaker 2: It, looking forward to.
Speaker 3: Bet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's colder up there that it is here Van.
Speaker 7: It's sixteen, but every night it's it's dropped down into
Speaker 7: the negatives.
Speaker 2: Our highest forty two tomorrow. So yeah, our height was
Speaker 2: sixty yesterday. It was quite nice and pleasant out yesterday,
Speaker 2: but it's dropping again, so I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're getting the same thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, every morning when I've come out here to the building,
Speaker 7: I've had to turn on some some form of supplemental heat.
Speaker 4: Not that it's like super cold. But it's it's like
Speaker 4: fifty five sixty.
Speaker 3: In the building.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd rather be a little little warmer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, once we get through the weekend though. Here anyways,
Speaker 6: I'm looking at seventies.
Speaker 3: During the day and fifties at night. So yeah, next
Speaker 3: week we'll be gorgeous.
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm hoping Florida gets back to normal weather
Speaker 7: because aren't they getting pounded with another storm along the
Speaker 7: East coast this uh this weekend?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're actually supposed to get cold this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's what When Michael was on the livestream
Speaker 2: last Sunday, he's like, yeah, it was supposed to be
Speaker 2: in like the forties there in a couple of days.
Speaker 2: But hopefully they'll be done with that crap before we
Speaker 2: get there next month. But we'll see.
Speaker 6: So well, the forecast, let's see sixties and thirties Wednesday, Thursday,
Speaker 6: and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday is seventies and forties, So
Speaker 6: a little brisk in the evening, but beautiful, perfect during.
Speaker 2: The day, perfect during the day. Yeah, that's the important part. Good. Well,
Speaker 2: maybe I should maybe I should consider bringing my propane
Speaker 2: fire ring out. Then we can all sit around the
Speaker 2: fire and smoke cigars.
Speaker 3: That would be cool.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll maybe I'll bring that. We didn't need it
Speaker 2: last year was warm. Man, we didn't need it last year.
Speaker 4: But we had some kind of fire fire something out there.
Speaker 7: Remember that was like a it was it was like
Speaker 7: a ten canful of candles or something like that.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's right, that's right. I forgot about that. That
Speaker 2: wouldn't know whose that was. Yeah. Uh, that's that's not bad. Yeah, good, okay, okay, well.
Speaker 7: I actually ordered, uh from a company called deep Sleep Overland.
Speaker 7: They made mattresses. Yeah, so I got a mattress for
Speaker 7: the Broncos. So on my trip down, I'm going out
Speaker 7: east and I'm gonna I'm going to hit the states
Speaker 7: that I have not activated parks and yet.
Speaker 4: So my my goal is to.
Speaker 7: Stay a couple of nights in in nation or not
Speaker 7: national parks but state parks or wherever, just just camp,
Speaker 7: do some.
Speaker 4: Poda each each of the nights.
Speaker 7: And then instead of trying to drag a tent out
Speaker 7: and roll it back up in the morning, I'm just
Speaker 7: gonna sleep in the back of the Bronco and then
Speaker 7: my goal is to get there Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Uh, and we'll be there on Wednesday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and make it even better. I gotta get my
Speaker 7: wind shield replaced. So the glass replacement companies meeting me
Speaker 7: there at the fair round to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah, that's that let's say flight place that
Speaker 2: they don't meet you anywhere.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, it's it's a different one. They probably that
Speaker 7: I took it in and the guy's life. We need
Speaker 7: the light bar off and the pod lights that are
Speaker 7: on your mirrors, the ditch lights because they can't whatever
Speaker 7: the machine is that they need to put in there
Speaker 7: to align the glass and everything. Like you said, they
Speaker 7: couldn't do it with the lights. And I'm like, you
Speaker 7: got a spot for me to do.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 7: I can't bring the Bronco into the garage, so I yeah,
Speaker 7: and it's yeah, I think it was like three degrees
Speaker 7: when when we were talking, and uh they were they
Speaker 7: were at a collision shop to do the glass replacement there,
Speaker 7: and he's like, I can't have you in the bay
Speaker 7: that to take those off.
Speaker 4: So yeah, right.
Speaker 2: Well, I have you know that sleep system they sell
Speaker 2: it more. I can't remember the name of it right now.
Speaker 2: He's been there the last three three or four years
Speaker 2: that I've been to more Expo. He's had that really
Speaker 2: nice sleep system. It's expensive, but it's like a roll
Speaker 2: up bed. You unroll it and it's got down pillows
Speaker 2: and down comforter. You can kind of piece it together
Speaker 2: with stuff. And I was gonna buy one of those
Speaker 2: last year, and I bought a diesel heater instead. I
Speaker 2: didn't want it. I was like, Okay, I spent my money,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna buy it now. But I might get
Speaker 2: one of those this year that looks really really comfortable,
Speaker 2: and you can roll it out. You can roll out
Speaker 2: in your RV, you can roll it out in your

Speaker 6: pull in there and run the generator for the night
Speaker 6: so I can get in the line because I'm going
Speaker 6: to take up a lot of room in line waiting
Speaker 6: to get in, so I figured i'd get in line early.
Speaker 2: Well, when we got there last year on Wednesday morning,
Speaker 2: there was not a line. Okay, yeah it was. There
Speaker 2: was one guy talking to the attendant and we got
Speaker 2: in line behind him, and I mean it took less
Speaker 2: than ten minutes and we were inside.

Speaker 6: that we can kind of scope out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and have the choice of where we want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, okay, all right, Well I'll probably I'm probably
Speaker 2: gonna leave Monday afternoonish and probably going to camp somewhere
Speaker 2: around I got to look and see what Google said,
Speaker 2: but somewhere around Jackson, Mississippi, Monday night, which is about
Speaker 2: about six hours, maybe maybe a little bit west there.
Speaker 2: I might drive for about five hours. We'll see, and
Speaker 2: then Tuesday night I'll be around the Pensacola area, So
Speaker 2: we could.
Speaker 6: Figure I'm doing six hours a day and of course
Speaker 6: sixty five ish.
Speaker 3: Miles an hour.
Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, okay, that'd be fair.
Speaker 6: I can enjoy wherever I'm at, and I'm not trying
Speaker 6: to set this thing up in the dark.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's there's a lot to be said about that.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Do you have a mobile hotspot for your all Star yet?
Speaker 5: Me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, on my truck. My truck will run all Star,
Speaker 3: my all Star now okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. All Star is going to be our chatting,
Speaker 2: our chat room for the drive into to hamp Casion.
Speaker 2: So yeah, definitely be on all Star. Be fun.
Speaker 6: Okay, I get it set, got my clear note sitting
Speaker 6: right there on bill Crow, so when I pull it out,
Speaker 6: it sits in the truck, and then when I come
Speaker 6: back in, I just slap it back up, plug it
Speaker 6: in and good already said up for all three networks,
Speaker 6: so it'll just connect.
Speaker 2: All right, guys. Well, I think this was overall successful.
Speaker 2: I was scared at first because it was uh and
Speaker 2: I am a hard line. I've got an Ethernet cable
Speaker 2: running from my desktop to the Starlink router. But I'm
Speaker 2: wondering because the Starlink router is right there. It's ten
Speaker 2: feet from me in the same room. So I'm wondering
Speaker 2: if I should try it on Wi Fi and see
Speaker 2: how it works. Yeah, but Charlotte, but I might experiment
Speaker 2: with that next time. I don't have a Wi Fi
Speaker 2: router right now for this desktop computer. But generally speaking,
Speaker 2: the hard line works better anyway. But I haven't had
Speaker 2: any drops with my TV or my phone today while
Speaker 2: be connected to starlink, but the Ethernet was dropping, so
Speaker 2: maybe I got a bad cable. Maybe I'll look at
Speaker 2: replacing the ethernet cable. I don't know, but to look
Speaker 2: at so I appreciate you guys hopping on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely looks like you're gonna do all right with
Speaker 7: at least two people on there. I haven't seen any
Speaker 7: any any issues with signal degregation.
Speaker 6: Or you haven't pixelated. I mean, it's it's way better
Speaker 6: Nextfinity already.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Well it didn't start out that way. It
Speaker 2: started out and it dropped like three times, but then
Speaker 2: it was uh yeah, then it kind of finally caught
Speaker 2: up to itself. So I don't know. It could be
Speaker 2: one of those things where you know, it's just more
Speaker 2: people on the bandwidth in the evening, that kind of thing,
Speaker 2: like a shared DSL connection or whatever, or cable mode
Speaker 2: in whichever one it was that used to do that.
Speaker 2: But we'll see.
Speaker 3: Oh got the delivery, big ass track, a little ass box,
Speaker 3: all right, k.
Speaker 2: E eight W A G been good here the whole time.
