Good morning!!!!

Yeah, I found the access schedule for MAC addresses (and you can apply it to the entire intranet system as well). That's not what we wanted to do. We wanted to limit his data usage, regardless of when it happens. Our HughesNet package is 15Gb/month anytime, and 50 Gb/month "bonus" from 2am-8am. We don't have any problems between the two of us. We're a week into our cycle and we've used 1.2 Gb of our 15. When the boy got his first smartphone a couple of years ago, he started draining our data within the first two weeks every month. We were able to divide and limit the data usage on the cell phone plan, but not the home internet. We eventually had to change the password and not give it to him. We haven't gone over since.

He has his own mobile service now which has unlimited data, but it doesn't allow hotspot use. So, he'll need to use our HughesNet for the laptop. Any other browsing or streaming will have to be done through his phone. The workaround isn't perfect, but it'll have to do.

Would of never thought of doing it that way...so smart! My son gave me a pound of green Kona coffee beans for Christmas...I'll roast today and think of sitting on your deck while I drink it.

Thanks.
Enjoy your Kona brew. If you can, try Kau, Puna, or Hamakua beans. Not as well known, but very very good.

Hope to get my balcony bolted into final position this afternoon. Just so glad it went in place so readily. I swear lumber must be getting heavier. Once in place, a trip to HD for the Trex, but that might be tomorrow.

That Trex is heavy, plus the railing, will you have support post to the ground on the outer edge?

I want what's in your coffee...so I can dream too...
All tractors should have seat warmers and warm steering wheels. There should be a law...

I did chuckle because I remember Roy calling my place a plantation...but even better, think of Lord Salop in a long coat delivering my tractor each morning.
With a freshly baked scone. I could do this...:thumbsup:

And Randy, all it takes is two presses on the key chain. And then, if the truck is facing away, I get the most marvelous bark from the hemi starting up. It goes into a high idle briefly and then settles down. Makes the birds jump and me smile. You would like it...

I have remote start, turns on the heat, defrost and heated seats, or ac, depending on the temps.
Install seat heaters in the tractor seat, kits are cheap.

wow the weather forecast is cold this weekend, that means super cold North of here...
after looking at that, I went down to barn and went over all the faucets and equipment, good thing, forgot to take off pump to water wagon, so
that came apart easily and I put it in the woodshop in the barn. Small electric heater in there sitting on concrete floor, keeps it above freezing during really cold spells.
All the time I personally spent insulating that little room is paying off.

Got dolly for chipper completed. Chipper is sitting on it. Much safer than the HF 1k furniture dolly.
Sure is cold outside. Walking to mailbox. The snow was making crisp crunching sounds.

We have a string of highs in the low 20’s and single digit lows. I went around and made sure all the hoses were disconnected from the frost proof faucets. I lost one a few years ago because I left the hose connected.

Going to Elizabeth City tomorrow for lunch with an old friend, no idea where we are going, she says it’ll be a surprise. Not sure about that!

We are projected to get above freezing jan 5th, 33° as high. Cold until then.
