Light snow overnight and early this morning. 30 overnight. Up to 35, but felt colder. Cloudy most of the day with brief sunshine around Noon. Trees started to drip, but we held off collecting until tomorrow. Forecast is upper 20\u2019s tonight and sunny and upper 30\u2019s tomorrow: sap weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\/O wash cycle only reached 109.5 after 15 hours. Insulation didn\u2019t help. The feed pump is moving too much water. The old Grundfos pump was rated at 15 GPM. This Gould pump is rated at 85 GMP we think. We are still investigating all the specifications, but it feels like the water doesn’t stay in contact with the membrane long enough for friction to generate heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into the woods by 9:00 AM. Setup WiFi in the syrup building. We use a Point-to-Point wireless bridge with equipment from TP-Link linking the syrup building the farmhouse Internet connection. They claim it can bridge up to 16 miles. It\u2019s 300 feet between the syrup building and the farmhouse. We get 34 Mbps download and 9 Mpbs upload in the syrup building. The farmhouse Internet is 410 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload so we lose bandwidth, but it\u2019s better than tethering our cell phone to the laptop. We can satisfactorily watch YouTube videos. And even video conferencing should work. <\/p>\n\n\n

We got the idea from this article. Point-to-point Wi-Fi bridging between buildings\u2014the cheap and easy way <\/strong>https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2021\/08\/point-to-point-wi-fi-bridging-between-buildings-the-cheap-and-easy-way\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the farmhouse by 12:30 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got a 2018 Ford F150 this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
