Kinda crazy how Ash and Walnut trees can have bark that looks so much alike....
Anywho, working on firewood again, seems I need about a month's worth and we *should* be good to go.
Had the Ethernet cable for our Internet running across the driveway buried in PVC conduit, all the water runoff from the recent snow melt caused the PVC to became exposed, than my son helped it out by pulling up half the PVC run
So cut the tree I needed, and pulled it up to the house where I work on wood, went slow over the PVC hoping it would just slide over, nope. Felt a hesitation (was going super slow) and than BAM!, saw the PVC go flying...
On the plus side the Ethernet cable strands had about 1" of PERFECTLY stripped wire exposed....
Bleh.
Decided to go the wireless route this time (until I feel like renting a DitchWitch to properly bury the cable), setup a Ubiquiti PicoStation at the well house where the PoE is for the Wireless CPE, and setup a Ubiquiti NanoLoco at the house as client, all bridged so it acts as an Ethernet cable, only wireless
Can't wait for summer, and my cold to go away, been a hoarse the last few days

It wasn't even one inch deep and was just a wire. No conduit or anything.
Lucky for me it was wired to a breaker. Flipped the main breaker in his house, cut all power. Otherwise I wouldn't be here to shard this story.
