What's this "WE" stuff , didn't know the Ka'nooks were in on the Mars mission !!!!   hehehehe

 

My buddy works for the film industry , heard they are filming the Mars surface videos for TV viewing in Algiers, La .  ,  LOL 

There were alot of parts for the rover built here in Canada, I think some of the fiber op cables were made in Atlantic Canada

And the "We" are humans in general.

You know its bad when we can fly a drone on Mars with scientists in charge, but can't turn a light bulb on in Texas with politicians in charge......

I've been snowed in all week.  Been working cardio on the wife's elliptical, but weights will have to wait till the gym reopens.

We shovel snow and snowmobile all winter to loose weight here....

It would end up being in a fixed position, motor not used, just moved over to a different sat in the arch. Just like your active dish is now.

You wouldn't pay anymore, your just boosting the ability to receive signal.

All you need to do is attach your LNB from your direct, or dish net,(same type for both really) in the c-bands holder and move it, a bigger dish will give you better signal all the time. The hardest thing is knowing where the focal point of the dish is, the rest is easy...

yes, I've had to trim limbs back for it, nice catch, that's the old dish network dish, the direct dish is mounted in a defrent spot, the freezing rain did knock the signal out a few times over this last winter storm, so the hot water outside spigot mod i did came in handy to melt the ice off. 

If I was down there, I could set up your old c-band dish to use for direct or dish net....lol

Never loose signal again. I had a 75cm dish modified for dish net 15 years ago, still works, signal meter would read 100% signal all the time.

A super soaker water gun filled with windshield washer antifreeze works great for cleaning off snow on a dish also....

Wilson, does that little dish still work in the summer with the tree in front of it?

Cold night -25C at day break should warm up a bit today, should be sunny, hopefully not too windy...

Welcome to the site

Rear tire/ chain tensioner for a dirt bike put to another use...

Is that the exhaust?  Big gap there...

Should still move in 4x4.....😆 🤣

-16C overnight, supposed to be around-4C and sunny for the day. Best part is I haven't seen a mosquito for months....

Did you plow all that with your quad @bcsman

Reverse fail....

All cleaned up for now....

Welcome to the site

We got about 6-8"s of snow here, then ice pellets, then a bit of freezing rain, cleaned up the yard enough for today, I'll finish it in the morning.  Hopefully my fuel line won't be froze in the morning like it was today, an hour in the neighbors heated garage fixed that problem thankfully.....lol

I'm running a set of 26" bighorns on mine, they do me alright, they have over 5k on them still look new...

Welcome to the site

It was-22C overnight here, warming up to around 0, should be a nice sunny day here before the storm hits here, they are calling for around 6" of snow....
