So now that we have internet... what's next?

This is more of a question than you'd expect, because the internet is a 3/4 mile hike away from our cabin.  Even direct line-of-sight, it's a quarter mile away and up a big ass damn hill.

Plus, now the same place that has internet has a ton of electricity--with four hundred watts of juice, we can charge batteries and phones and tablets and laptops, but what are we going to do? Just sit in the grass while we wait?

Hell naw. Enter, "Cafe Telco".  The shack formerly known as Telco Shack has a whole new lease on life.  Check this bitch out:

Whole thing folds down to make a nice-sized table (it's 32" by 40") and it's plenty level and sturdy.

We also upgraded the batteries in Cafe Telco, to a pair of big-ass 100 amp batteries:

And things are trucking along nicely:
