A good thing they have someone on weekend call Shaun, likely that`s a requirement for the contract.
Good afternoon Perry. I like my Sunday relaxation time and if there`s a Sunday morning phone call it`s usually a good friend so I don`t mind. A road trip to Saskatoon maybe in Feb.? We might get to meet up.
I`m feeling too lazy today to fire up my Bobcat to scrape the snow my side walk, from all the melting and freezing it`s stuck down far too hard to scrape with a steel shovel.

I can help you there John.

I picked up a small scale wooden truck at a garage sale yrs ago, it`s generic but still neat.

Morris the university has its own IT staff. So they do all of the IT stuff on campus like phones etc. They remoted into the phone and was able to get it to finally work right. Took awhile and a few resets.

I`m sure that university can`t operate long with the phones shut down Shaun, would the computers would be down too?

Morris our phones are internet based. But they act as a pass through for the network to the computers. So the phone might stop working but we would still have internet. Unless the network went down on campus.

So the internet is separate from the phone lines Shaun? Wireless?

No Morris. The phones are VOIP phones. So the network cable runs to the phone and then from the phone to the desktop. Our phones have a bit more software and an extra cable because we do audio recording of our phone lines.

They essentially like a smartphone for your desk. Instead of using a traditional phone line they use a network cable and link to the internet.

Good afternoon y'all
Finally got my 78 F350 into the shop and now have room for the 53 Meteor that's coming, this shop is so full there's barely enough room to fart let alone avoid the smell. I have 1 more load to do and then it's time to redo the inside of the shop and start getting some room back, will be building a small shed also for storage in order to clean up the yard.

Glad my phone and internet aren't complicated, as long as the bills are paid they both work quite well.

Sounds like you plan on keeping busy Perry, time for the Meteor to come apart?
My tower to tower wireless internet works well as long as no real tall trees get in the way.

Depending on the weather and how long it takes to get a wood stove built it could be 6 weeks before I work on anything and the first project is to make a trailer from the Meteors chassis. I keep making myself more work, wish this retirement would start soon. LOL
