7 Dat squirrel has rabies.

Cows really are that nosy. The first morning in our new house on the farm, my mother had an audience on the front porch watching her shower. One bro found an abandoned feral newborn kitty in a pasture with a circle of cows staring at it. When baby bro was born they'd gather outside the fence to stare at him in his little baby chair.

I want to sneeze fire now. Where do I get this device?

Same. I just remember one where the robot ejected one arm for some tactical purpose and flew off which would add up to some real money.

41 Woke up the other night to the cat meowing and batting something live around in the bedroom. I turned on the light, which woke him up- he can't hear her when asleep, so he went to investigate.
She'd brought in a mouse, which escaped into the rest of the house.
We found out today, when the appliance guy showed up, that the dishwasher is not working because it chewed a hole in the hose. It also chewed bits out of the sponge mat in my sewing room.
Good news is its corpse was in the trap in the utility room when we got home from Waco yesterday.

Being an Iowanian I really should know a lot about cattle. But I don't. They do a lot of grazing on National Forest land.

One minute, no cows. Next minute, many cows. They do respond to "Git!" and "Yah!!!" pretty well. But they don't have much, or any, long term memory maybe.

Out of 80,000 possible acres of grass, the grass just under your trailer or camper or pickup, why, that's JUST the perfect, tender stuff. They can be quiet when they want to be. And I thought they laid down at night and went to sleep. Not necessarily. They look kinda spooky in flashlight. Green eyes, spaced really far apart.

I have some of their cousins in my freezer right now, so I try to cut them some slack.

I want to get the Starlink, due to remote areas oftentimes don't have access. But I'm getting less adept at dealing with new technologies. It isn't that I can't, it's just everything is a damn pain in the ass now. I'm just a simple guy trying to do simple things.

I read their webpages on it, and my eyes glaze over.

The nature of Gavin Newsom's political chameleon act is interesting to study.

His public persona mutates depending on the desired audience, the current political trends and/or his strategic media goals of the moment.

He is so sociopathological I'm not sure he does this consciously.

112 Old paper airplane technology: Learned to fold this flying tube back in the 70's.
At a Vikings game in the late 90's, second deck, fifth row, directly behind the goal posts.
It flew between the goal posts and landed on the 22 yard line.
And yes, the crowd cheered.
Small brag.

114 I asked the internet. 2 to 8 amps, depending. That's quite a spread, but I think I understand. That's not insignificant for boondockers. Not bad, but it adds up.

You do need an open view of the sky in a particular direction, but the app helps you position the antenna and it evens maps obstructions. We have lots of trees where I am using one and so far it's been great and very reliable.

Amps is watts divided by volts. Not sure about the newtons.

Posted by: Oldcat at September 09, 2026 08:19 PM (uhVAy)

118 So, if the numbers provided are correct, at 2 amps in 24 hours a standard 100 ampere hour deep cycle would be drawn to approximately 50 per cent. It would be more than that, of course, in use. Not a show stopper, but it's waaaaay more than I thought. Hm.

I observed 180 watts max. It can be set to go to sleep and wake up and it drops to about 40 I think.

That's 180 watts on a 120v transformer, about 1.5 amps.

Yes, everyone knows all that. But amperes are the currency of the battery world.

Until the hipster goons started up with their "solar generator" (batteries) and decided a different way to measure DC power was necessary.

It's 2 to 8 amps at 12 volts DC, at least according to the internet. This looms large when using actual DC battery power.

125 I can track usage on my solar system at the farm. Starlink about 180 watts, all the lights on the trailer, LED 12v maybe 100 watts, water pump 150 watts, the fridge on gas maybe 40 watts, on electric, 400 watts. Roof AC -1400 watts! That'll run your battery down pretty quick.
