The latest estimate on restarting the rebuilding of our roads is 5/21/12. The reason Jim Shelton did not resume the work on 5/1 (as he previously estimated) is that he is and has been laid up with a knee problem from bad cartilage, and he cannot climb up on his grader. Let us hope his knee is well enough to restart our work on 5/21.

Thanks gals and guy for returning us to Facebook and fighting on YouTube comments!

Is your Mountain Zone TV (MZTV) wireless Internet out here slow lately?
You are not alone.

Here's a copy of an email sent to me on 29 April from MZTV:
-------------------Include-----------------------------------
Hello,
There will be a brief interruption of service tomorrow morning, Monday April 30th, in Limpia Crossing. This is the first step of a performance improvement. The service should be down for 30 to 45 minutes, and will occur between 8:30 and 10AM. We do not have everyone's email address at this time, but are notifying as many as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

I ran some post-change tests and the problem seems to be the upload speed from our computers to the Internet. It's slower than dial-up, but does burst faster on occasion.

A positive note; the download speed from the Internet to us looks pretty good.

Just today (05-02-2012), I sent email to Mountain Zone@mztv.net with the above information and asked for an update.

I have not received an answer yet.
I will forward anything I receive...

MZTV Response:

A new receiver was installed on Tuesday which should improve throughput.  

We are aware of the upload issue in Limpia, and are trying to figure out what is causing it.   The issue is being worked,

Thanks for the input

Finally some good news about the road rebuilding – Shelton is nearly through with the job in Victoria and expects to resume our road rebuild about 1 May, 2012.

Rain in the Victoria area has slowed Jim Shelton's work there, and he will not be able to resume work on our roads in February as he previously estimated. He states that his crew has only been able to work 6 days during January, and he is not able to estimate when our work will resume. He is committed to completing work on our roads though and states “Please know that I am doing my best to get back to you”. I suppose all we can do to speed restarting our road work is to hope for dry weather for Victoria which does not need more rain.

Here is the latest on the roads.  The high pressure manifold needed to fix the Iron Wolf rock crusher is still on order, and we have no information when it is due to be delivered.  Jim Shelton, our road contractor, estimates that he will be able to resume work on our roads the last week in February assuming the Iron Wolf will be back in commission by then.
