Tapping, sapping, and boiling Maple syrup today. A friend brought over a Link Sys Acess point I hooked into my modem, and Hey!,.... I'm a pioneer. For the first time I have internet out in the woods. Link Sys works pretty good! About 1000 feet from house and still getting 2 bars and 18Mbps.... Pics to come soon.

Aint technology a marvelous thing. Wanna trade some syrup for some home made smoked sausage and BBq sauce?

Ya,I was surprised the Link Sys would reach that far, I actually told the guy to space it. He brought it anyways with his laptop and tadaaa! I ran down and got mine as well. Now we're playing signal tug of war.

Sounds like a good trade Kevin, but I doubt sausage would make it in the mail "ungreen". I'll meet ya'* halfway. I'll be in western Michigan May7-11th.

Lock you linksys down otherwise you'll be given up bandwidth to your neighbor.

Actually...Smoked sausage is cured, vacuum packed and can be frozen for the ride. PM me if you're in!

ROFL!!!! I live on a seasonal lake and 1 of the only people on it year round. And most the other hardy people left here Sept-May, well,.... how can you put it nicely. The gene pool is very limited. Family tree'* tend branch inward.

..and the banjo music played on..maybe the theme from "Deliverance"

And yall yanks up thur, given me crap for being frum oklihoma...jerks hehe j/k

thats cool that you get the signal from the house, but if your out in the woodland hills... getting away from it all... shouldnt you be ... ya kno... AWAY FROM IT ALL!!! hehe razysmile:

Tapping is real work,.... action shot. 99 to go. Where'* the beer?
