You need a new weather app

Mine only stretches 8-9 days so the last day (Wed) above is 4 days prior to GTG. Besides I never trust them any more than 48hrs out and even then I'd give the weather man (I mean "educated guesser") a 60/40 chance at getting it right.

Those chaps will go well with jeremys new "man leggings"

I don't even want to know, but why not: do they have those straps on the bottom for his little heels?

I just picked up a 1080p HD camera and powered mic that one user says will pick up a dog panting at 30 feet away (outdoor gear that is weatherproof).
I planned to use it at Dan @paragonbuilder GTG (was gonna be a surprise but cat out of bag now...) I will test it this week with youtube live (hopefully in 1080p HD and super sensitive mic picking up a saw and voices and such) and can bring it perhaps a day early on Saturday to the NY GTG to get it setup right etc.

A few weeks ago I installed some enterprise Wifi gear at Dan's -- 3 Access points including one in the shop that covers outside quite well.

For the Head Of The Charles Regatta in Cambridge MA each year myself and a couple others install an outdoor Wifi network with about 30 APs and several backhaul feeds along a 4 mile stretch of the Charles river used by about 400 people on the Race Committee, sponsors, timing, athlete registration etc. it's a LAN in the sky. With over 300,000 people attending the 4G cellular network data fails so we build this WIFI network. We use a Gigabit fiber optic link on top of Harvard Stadium and get on Harvard's fiber for the main internet backhaul along with a 50 Mbps symmetrical backup link at the Cambridge Boat Club that goes to the roof of Boston's Hancock building. There were 3 live feeds on our network this year that were distributed worldwide via livestream.com -- you can see one of the feeds here:


I will try to bring an outdoor AP or two that we could connect to your wired network inside and perhaps a pair of point to point radios if needed for the camera so it could be a decent distance from your shop. I will try and make it all happen.

Heres some pictures I had posted on the CT GTG thread from Head Of The Charles showing some of what we do each year (crazy project):

Panel feeding memorial drive area from Harvard U Peabody Tower Harvard in the background, JFK Bridge:

Powerbeam at 300 Mbps to Cambridge Boat Club roof 1 mile away and 2nd to timing station at Riverside Boatclub near microcenter on memorial drive:

700 Mbps air fiber from Harvard Stadium roof to Cambridge Boat Club

Amazing view from Peabody Tower at dusk after install complete that year:

Still trying to make this GTG. I'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel to get there. We will be in Englishtown the night before for a friends 55 B-day party that night. My wife will be going if I attend.
Can't bring saws, *f-word
Might spend most of my time on the the throne, *f-word
A whole weekend with my wife, priceless...
Dumb looks are still free!
