hope your happy

Well If you saw the Northern Lights last night I am hope you are happy. It has caused two days of grief at work. The lights are a direct reflection of the massive sun flairs reflecting off the moisture in the thick dark night sky. At the same time the flares bounces really well off microwave signaling. Yes there are still millions of bit of data transferred by microwave everyday. So on a normal day we repair about 40 disturbed links. On Thursday we repair more than 300. When I left today we had recovered more than 200 with a couple dozen to go. I am glad the sun calmed down and thing are back to normal. We get customers calling that their phone doesn't work and we get to tell them it because they didn't pay. Technology is a great thing. Many years ago we would need to have a technician come out out to the home and remove your wires in the outside facilities. That took a couple of months. Today on day 15 of your default we just pull a link out of the modem and no more service. It is really 45 days since we got the last payment.

Thursday night we had one more gate practice for the year. It was a good time taking turns at the gate with VeloDan, MG, Bubba, Nate ,Jay, Ronsta, and "Showtime" Danny T. I am super happy with Josh's riding. I see a main in his future race endeavors soon.

The fun starts again Jan 7th
