Chatfield

We left Durango and drove to Golden. Lots of stuff to do each time we visit
the front-range. Kids, grandkids, and a satellite dish. Time for the big
one. Time for the data dish. Monday, I scheduled the entire day at the
motorhome so I could watch the installation and participate in any decisions
on the fly. Frank, the installer, worked Monday afternoon and into the
evening. Tuesday I commuted off to the Conifer job. Frank worked all day
Tuesday and into the evening again. The result....

Instant-on WiFi. A WiFi signal from our own satellite dish, from anywhere
in North America that we can see the south sky. Reliable WiFi. Frank did a
good job. A Motosat DataStorm. We never have to search for a WiFi park
again. When we have a choice between a commercial RV park and a state park,
we don't have to forego the state park so we can stay in touch. A major
upgrade to the mobile process.

Wednesday afternoon, we moved from the commercial RV park to Chatfield State
Park. Full hookups, well-separated sites, and a State Park view. Wildlife.
Grass, bushes, and birds. Quiet. I spent the rest of the week working on
the Conifer job. Didn't get it done. Jamie shuffled next week's schedule
for me. I'll go back to Conifer on Monday and Tuesday to get it done before
we move on.

Life on the road. Life in the State Park.
