Yea Piper, Too . . .
Well, our granddaughter Piper’s karma continues. This girl needs to buy some lottery tickets.
Last night (Thursday) while attending the awards ceremony at Moody Gardens in Galveston for the four year full scholarship she won, they also gave away door prizes.
And Miss Piper won an iPad2!
Should be a lot of help when she starts college in the fall.
Beautiful and smart!

Although we have Verizon cell/Internet service here at this gate, it’s been a little spotty. Sometimes we have 1-2 bars of 3G, sometimes 1-2 bars of 1x, and sometimes no data at all.
Even the cell service would sometimes drop calls. So I decided to set up the Wilson booster that I bought to use at our other gate where we had no service at all.
And it worked there, getting us cell and data service for an hour, only to receive the phone call that we were moving to this gate.
So I set it up here yesterday afternoon and boy did it work miracles.
Here’s the amplifier itself. It’s about the size of a large paperback book.

And here’s the directional outside antenna on a 10 foot antenna pole.

And here’s the inside antenna.
I set up everything outside since that’s where we spend the most time.
And boy does it work great. This unit is the Wilson db Pro 65 and we have now have 5 bars of rock-solid 3G service with no dropouts.
Well worth the money!
And now for some new Landon pics. Here he is with his daddy just being cool.
And here he is with his Aunt Sherry (Lowell’s sister). You can see where he gets some of his good looks.
That’s about it for today. They’re having a big push today to get back on the drilling schedule so we’re not supposed to let any salespeople in.
So I have to disappoint a lot of pretty young ladies.
Bummer!
Certainly wouldn’t be the first time.
Or the last.
