I will have to see whether my neighbor can host the base station in a place that has better and shorter "sight lines" to all the cameras. Good news is I don't think that will require any changes in the net setup. I am pretty sure the base station sets up its own network and just needs some access to the internet through anybody's router to communicate with our computers and mobile devices for monitoring. My neighbor is supposed to help later this evening. We will see if he can find a good place for the base station. Otherwise we are screwed.

Unless it rains. Then I will go scouting.


I imagine ya'll were on tenterhooks about this, now you can rest easy. ;)

Well, now I have an hour before I get a call about a job. No time for a ride anymore. It wasn't until I got home and dug out my spoke wrench that I realized I had some extra spokes with nipples in my bike stuff. I could have been back on the road instead of driving to and from the bike shop.

So, another setback on my Gianni Motta. I'm installing the BB and as many of you oldsters know, there is a fixed cup and an adjustable cup which is adjusted with a pin spanner of which I own two. I get my campy one out and one of the pins is sheared off. OK, I get the other one out and it's missing a pin. So, do you think I could remove one of the pins and make a whole spanner? Of course not. Different thread sizes. :mad:

Not without aggravation, but surely the LBS has a drawer with some of those pins lying around in it. No? What a shame. It is such a simple tool with almost no performance requirements.

They gave him 2 free nipples. Just like his parents.

Dang.

I'm excited for your bike. Don't screw up the build.

It would be better, if we had a campfire and some s'mores.

What about the Paketa? That has to get a hot. JP made it in front of me.
