OK, that's pretty good.....

Mine started at about 95 and now it usually won't get much over 45 (megaplops per second).

I think that the heavy usage people are stealing megaplops from me ….

Ummmm 89.5 but that may be in metric megaplops so it could be better or worse.

I mean... easier for you four than for the Beatles.

NOTE: Check the warning label on the garden hose. Drinking water from a hose will cause cancer (only if you live in California) …

You Californians think about this. If you water your garden with a garden hose, that contains carcinogens and you eat the produce from that garden, how do you know that the plants didn't take up the carcinogens and deposit them in the eatable portions of the plants ..??

Welp, good thing my parents don't grow any edible plants then. They're only obsessed with indoor orchids, .

Ya that would take along and winding road for them to come together even if it was yesterday. Maybe we can take a day in the life to see if we can work it out and head down penny lane to some strawberry fields forever.

Orchids aren't edible?

DECK UPDATE:

The pressure washing part is complete. Despite the chlorine and TSP fumes, in the 90 degree heat, ..I finished it.

Of course I had lots of help from the toddler (that just turned 2). When her mom picked her up this afternoon, she said she smelled like chlorine.

Some may say …… big deal! Just let the pressure washer do the work. Well, yes, but I still had to hold the wand!

I thought about making a little roller thingy to support the nozzle, then I could just follow it with my walker. Yep, ol humfrz is always thinking.

I am in the middle of the same project. No toddler though. I do have a friendly stray kitten that seems to like the spray though.

Or, if you just don't trust AT&T, here is another site:

I belive all the "speedtest.whatever" sites are all provided by Ookla, aka speedtest.net.


You want a real test of your speed, you're gonna have to change from the recommended server to one across the country.

Of course you should have amazing speed to the server down the street.
I usually hit either somewhere in LA.

I tried both 5 times each and had download results ranging fro 20.2 to 110. Each test was about 30 seconds after the last finished. Not to sure I believe any of the rates they showed now.
