fikester Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nothing has changed, we're still seeing 130-135kB/s downloads. It's just the tests on here that seem faster. Right on...has been more consistent for me since the transponder change quite some time ago, will give a thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Fan Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 That totally explains it bird fan. Thanks. I sense sarcasm. I was just saying that HughesNet is not "great" and whoever thinks these bogus speeds on here are real needs to get their head out of their ass. I've never seen my download speed when downloading a file be at 200kb/s for longer than 2 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen my download speed when downloading a file be at 200kB/s for longer than 2 seconds. Your probably right on the bogus somewhat but I have noticed that those 2 seconds spurts are just right for loading pages when browsing but probably do nothing for file transfer. It makes my browsing really seem snappy and we need to look at things for what they really are and not what we think they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted January 13, 2007 CID Share Posted January 13, 2007 Guess I will be findoung out soon. We finally gotour winter started here in the midwest. Should be down to 4 degrees by Monday. So put some hedge in it if you have any. That puts out some tremendous heat for a stick of wood. But never load it up with hedge. Unless you have one badass stove.

We had another dusting in the beginning of the week and some frost but it has rained the past 2 days straight, got to stop. If your referring to hedge like around the house or edge of the yard, never had much except about 20' out front my wife planted. I use plenty of red oak, white oak, cherry, ash and whatever else has lost it's leaves, I mean in the summer time. Have a thermometer on the pipe above the stove and it generally runs 200 - 250 degrees, but has been to 500 a few times, no wire brush for the stainless pipe. So I'll keep a window open since it's 85 in here now and I'll sit by my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted January 13, 2007 CID Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hedge Trees grow in Missouri, the wood is yellowish. And is harder than oak. But it does not grow very straight. It used to be used a lot for fence posts on farms. It also has these seeds which you cannot mistake. about the size of a grapefruit. Called hedge apples. Though don't eat them, I understand they are poisonous to bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted January 14, 2007 CID Share Posted January 14, 2007 the wood is also a great choice for bows....custom design long bows etc. Yes, we did do that years ago, made some nice custom re curves using different grains for effect. Unfortunately a only few of us are left and it's no longer done. I did some choosing wood and rough fitting and watched the gluing together with fiberglass to make the limbs. We did some design and had one man who was excellent on finishing the ideas. Sure miss those days, walks in the woods during shoots and just plain scouting out areas. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
