Everyone knows that they wait till after Morning rush hour to get out there to grade the roads. Only have to do half the job when you have to go around all the stuck cars lining the sides of the road. Then they'll wait till the roads are clear, and be out there late at night making the "sparklies" with the asphalt and grader blade... Sheesh. laugh

I pay the big buck for Starband's fast connection (around $100 month) that also has higher bandwidth usage limits. Even with that the only way you can watch video reliably is download it offshift (midnight to 6 am) to avoid getting throttled because of excess usage. Anything live is unreliable but downloading them offshift and playing later is possible if you want to mess with the offshift schedule. After all what do you expect for $1200 a year?

Truly a biggie. First aircraft under 30K since last October happened yesterday afternoon.
Good to know there is still life on the planet.

When you haven't seen any planes in several months they look pretty good.

With all of our weird weather this year I've been expecting some growlers wandering around but so far nothing. Sure they land but I'm not trapping this winter and the conditions haven't been the best for landing. Only made two mail runs this winter and the travel window was closed both times within hours.

If I have the math right , that propane price works out to about $9.96 a gallon. shocked

Could be. I think there's about 23-27 gallons in 100 pounds.
