73. Come to think of it, Dallas sent me a VPN link to our Texas network

Dec 2023

They just sent me a gadget I am supposed to hook up with them on the phone. First disadvantage is that it would only work here at the house, and second, I haven't had a free day when I'd be awake long enough to get with them on this. My job is usually crazy work schedule October and November, but this year, there has been no let-up, and there doesn't look to be until I leave for the USA (December 26). Both James Bond and Jason Bourne would have gone on strike long before now.

However, WHEN I do, I'll monitor this, and get back to you if there is an improvement.
