Clive, I hope you don't mind that I snapped a photo of your summer place. The lawn mowing budget must have killed your internet connection budget!  |

HA HA HA. You ladies are funny. Humm..err...ahh .. our humble summer place is way way much more, well humble as Judy's summer villa.
Best part about our internet connection is that its is FREE!! Yay! The development has a router about 250 yards away and I have a high-gain antenna on my "office" shed. My laptop is hardwired to the antenna cable and the laptop has Connectify software and that creates a hot spot and our lot has wifi throughout. A great system and today I am working on a business planning doc for my son's new business..which I could not do without a connection.
The small lawn would not break anyone's mowing budget.
More my style and budget ... works for us. Not much similarity, eh Judy?  The trailer/caravan on the right is my wife's sewing room and guest accom.  |

If you don’t mind me saying your ‘humble’ summer place looks idyllic to me Clive.

Thanks Lillias and Judy. Yes, it is quiet here. It can be "busy" on weekends in summer, but mid weeks are quite and it is an idyllic place. Hardly a pristine wilderness setting but not busy and close to the mountains.
Judy, I have a DJI Phantom 3 drone. It still works, but it is old school now and the company is not supporting firmware/software updates. A lot of owners, including me, are having problems operating them. The drone works, but the software won't communicate with it. Not happy, but it is far down on my "to do" list right now.
Thanks again,
Clive
