  1. I left service in 2000, I started as an Avionics Tech then cross-rated to Intel Specialist because the field was wide open. Promoted to Chief in 1997, then left the service to attend Seminary and do technology consulting on the side. Time in service was 12 years with 6 months in delayed enlistment. Fun times and hated to leave but they cut retirement benefits to 36% and I was able to better support my young family in the commercial world.

Lectric bikes - Love 'em and wish we had have done them sooner!

by CaptPicardo on 12-28-2021 at 03:05 PM
We had been looking at ebikes for well over a year when we finally pulled the trigger and bought the Lectric bike brand. Wow, so much fun for $995 (on Black Friday special). I've ridden mine 153 miles since receiving in October and they are a blast. I've taken it over rocks, desert dirt, Galveston beach, many parks and it's been well worth the money. We sold the traditional bikes and bike rack and replaced with a bike rack that is more durable for the back of the Solitude. It's also quick to detach

Camp Verde: Verde Valley RV Resort - Awesome

by CaptPicardo on 11-03-2021 at 11:53 PM
We're at Verde Valley RV resort for a month and apart from an occasional glitch on wifi this resort has quite a community. We're surrounded by NASCAR fans, cowboys for the rodeo and a dozen rally groups. Great park and so many friendly people and activities. Tons to explore in this area, I like it better than Sedona, but you can easily visit there as well.

Catching up...Redwoods, Nevada Desert and Las Vegas

by CaptPicardo on 10-23-2021 at 06:52 PM
I apologize for our long absence from the blog...we have been out trying to rebuild a golf game, finding a super tall Redwood, fixing flats in the North Nevada desert and trying to see a show in Vegas.

Redwoods in Crescent City, CA are pretty amazing, especially visiting Trees of Mystery down near Klamath Falls. A mudslide took out the road, they are rebuilding quickly but plan for a little extra time. Stayed at Crescent City KOA, amazing for tent campers, descent for RVs...but some

Connectivity, wifi, internet and starlink

by CaptPicardo on 08-16-2021 at 11:41 PM
My life and blood on the road in internet connectivity, it's my full time job and we've tried many solutions...wanted to share few of those experiences with you all:
- Weboost is snake oil, it is fakery, doesn't work in any condition, don't pay for this garbage.
- WifiCampPro - this does work in some circumstances but if your upstream internet is crap, so will yours be
- Cellular - TMobile has been our best connector nationally, relative to Verizon and ATT. Verizon has been
