I realized tonight that with fiber at our cabin the very old Apple TVs I have are limited by their Ethernet ports — can’t exceed 100 Mbps!

Cabin
Absolutely perfect evening for a cruise down the St. Croix River on the Lady Chateau.
There is a gondolier on Lake Saint Croix in Stillwater!
I made it out to the pontoon to get the cover back up, replace a cover pole, and get the ponding water off the cover. Mission successful. There is still a bit over a foot of water above the dock. The boat still is floating and not on the Sea Legs yet.

We stopped at our cabin yesterday to check on the flooding on Cannon Lake. Lucky for us the only real situation we are managing is our pontoon and dock. The water was down a few inches from last week but still very high. The lake association also sent a warning that the water may …

With Cannon Lake flooded I had repositioned one of the UniFi G4 Instant cameras so it was pointing right at the boat. I’ve also been battling with raccoons at our place. This summer I had 6 of them trapped and taken away. But there are still more. And on the very first night of …
