4:19 No starlink signal since last night?


Our first outage that I couldn't figure out. Was easy, I asked support about it, a bot came on and listed all I could do in order, last was unplug the electrical cable and plug back in! Viola, done, like most everything computer, turn it off and start again, and all's well. 

We had an electrical storm south of here last night, I watched it as I was on my way to play pool last night, I'm thinking it did something to the satellite's. Who knows, we are back online now. A very simple system, a cord that leeds to the flat dish, and point it in the right direction, and away we go. Once we have connected, and are set-up, going on and off is easier. 

I couldn't go back to sleep thinking what happened, as it quit working when we went to bed last night, went to sign on in the bedroom TV, and no signal. After a bit of searching around, we accepted that no signal from our starlink, so off goes TV, and to sleep we go. But, when I woke, my brain goes to thinking mode, I had to get up and figure it out. 

I had to change some information on my credit card yesterday, so I could use an app here that would let me pay someone for a valve cover for my pickup, so I thought maybe the change I made yesterday to our service from 50gb a month to unlimited service had been rejected or something, because of my change in address on our credit card. But no that didn't affect it, just a blip in the system. 

I got up, made coffee ☕, and sat down to figure it out, and time is 4:19😊 I smiled, Chris was in my thoughts again. I do like the suttle reminders that come, nice to have the good memories. 🤗

Polly got up now too, she's playing her card game, drinking her coffee ☕ now, 5:11, way to early for her. 

I went to the pool yesterday, while Polly had friends over to play cribbage, she lost 4 games, was a tough day on Polly, not used to loosing in cards. They had fun anyway.

At the pool was a young girl and her Mom, Brindly is her name, she's full of energy, and wanting to get better at whatever she takes on. She's trying to learn how to do a really good backflip into the pool, I helped her by just getting her to try different placement of her feet, and in how she pushed off, but mostly she just kept trying it again and again. I said to her Mom, I wished I had that energy, she agreed.

Geckos here everywhere here, this one was really checking me out at the pool


Well all is good again, our really good internet is working again, coffee ☕ is really good, off to an early start today that's all. I'm sure I'll go back to bed sometime. 

Retired is good.

Loving our life at the Crooked Hook ❤️
