My truck sees dirt every single day



( I live in the country down a dirt driveway)

 

So what I need to do is start a drive through restaurant where the drive through is a bunch of parking bollards and mud.

 

Is Globe and Flagstaff still full of mud from the flash floods?

 

It dried out, and then we got rain the last couple days

A couple mud puddles here and there but you can drive the trails without doing damage

 

Holy crap that road looks smooth! Where are you finding all these non-washboarded trails like this?

 

Remember, the camera lies!

Case in point...this is way steeper and deeper than it looks:

 

North of the cinders up 89. there are a lot of decent places out here if you know where to look

Happy Friday all!

 

If anyone is sick and tired of Cox Communications bullshit and paying way to much for shitty service I am testing a new company called WeLink. $70 a month, 700d/700u. No bullshit data cap. I've been running it for two days and so far so good. I have not ran it through the paces yet but will be soon. My hopes is this works good and I can get more people to tell cox to go fuck themselves.

If anyone is interested I am keeping a blog on reddit to address questions. https://www.reddit.com/r/ChandlerAZ/comments/py3dcn/wilink_internet_service_provider/

Here is an example speed test using their hardware on my Pixel 4a. https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/7770627072

 

I’m okay with my century link fiber so far, once they actually got their stupid asses around to providing the service they advertised… It makes me happy to see alternatives popping up in the market. ISP shouldn’t be the horseshit it is where you get to have 1 provider who sucks ass or go pound sand.

Starlink looks promising but I dunno how they are going to handle latency if you want to play games online.

 

I'll let you know about Starlink here soon. I'll be using it at my cabin up north. My buddy has it and so far its not bad. 150-200d, 30-50u. But he did say while dishy McFlatface is hunting for satellites it can loose connection for up to a minute or two.

I just hate that when I had gigablast with cox it was over $240 a month. Then I dropped to a 150d/10u deal with no data cap and that is $150 a month. I'm done with them.

 

We had those WeLink people come by too Colby. I talked to him for a while.. got info.. but never followed up on it.

 

Century link is garbage out here, but there dont seem to be any other options.

I had to get a mifi to keep my work computer online when it goes down

 

Well I'm the lab rat right now for them. I have the neighbors and a handful of other people ready to jump ship if I give the go signal so I'll keep you posted.

 

WeLink has battery back up built into their modem. 4 hours without power and you'll still have internet. Hook it up to a car battery or a generator and you are golden.

 

perfect.

what you got going on this weekend? I got the truck in the backyard yesterday.. ready to start tearing into all the wiring. Speaker and Accessory wiring.

 

I'll be helping Doug landscape all day Saturday. Sunday morning I'll be at my buddies who had that bad accident landscaping his yard and fixing a few things around his house. I'll try to cruise by Sunday afternoon.

 

Got ya. It'll be nice to be able to casually work on the truck and chill. Nicer/more shade.. more privacy. Got the TV and Tunes back there. Beers and chillin this weekend for sure. I think @prise might make it over Saturday afternoon-evening.

 

@prise If you are rolling to Josh's this weekend can you grab those buckets of nuuuuuutz please?

 

I really hope he posts a picture and it says “deeezzz nuuuutttzz”

I mean that’s really the only valid response.
