The Channel Inn had an amazing fireworks show tonight! We drove over and watched through the glass roof in the Model Y. Then we drove to a home that had an amazing show as well. 🎆🇺🇸🤩
Just realized that the Ubiquiti U6 Long-Range access points I’m using at the cabin need PoE+ (30W) and I’ve been using PoE-af (15W) injectors. May explain some of the odd performance I’ve been seeing. Two U-PoE-at adapters ordered!
Knee high by the 4th of July? ✅
Transferred the pork butts to the Big Green Egg after 21 hours on the Sous Vides. Time for smoke and developing bark.
Happy Birthday America! 🇺🇸 Hope everyone has a great 4th of July! 🎆

Break in the rain and everyone jumping in the pool! 💦
Having Hulk Hogan’s new Real American Beer — can there be a better beer for 4th of July! 🍻

Fiber Installed at Cabin
I met with Bevcomm on July 1 2023 to give them the go ahead to install fiber at our cabin. They thought it would take about a year and today — one year and two days later — it was installed and activated! Bevcomm sent two technicians out and everything went very smooth.
I had made several upgrades to the network infrastructure in preparation. I don’t have ethernet here and was using ethernet-over-power adapters before with Eero infrastructure.
I knew I wanted to switch everything to UniFi. I use UniFi at home and am very pleased with it. I decided to use the existing coax wiring for the backbone using MoCa adapters. Each of the four MoCa adapter then has a little 4-port switch. I’ve also got 2 WiFi 6 LR access points and a UniFi U6 Mesh access point that is installed outside. I’ve now got direct line-of-site for my external network devices. External WiFi signal is way better!
Today the last part clicked in with the fiber getting turned on. I provisioned 500 Mbps service. I didn’t think full gigabit made sense. Speeds look great and response times are very snappy.
