Barely internetting

bill_schubertSpectrum in Texas went down yesterday. No idea how badly since I get a few grudging bytes from T-Mobile through their carrier where we live. I could have gone up the road half a mile and internetted all I wanted through T-Mobile but it is hot. I didn't need to have a connection to know that.
Spectrum is coming back up but it is slow and barely there. Connecting to Gmail took several minutes. I did a ping test to Yahoo and it timed out about a third of the time. So it is going to be a while before things are stabilized. I've not tried the TV yet. This post would not send so it is actually Wednesday here now before I could send it.
I did go to the Ranch today and stayed an hour. I walked two of my friends and by then I could tell I was starting to fade. By the time I got home I was really tired and sore. But I've walked 5500 steps today so that is great. I also took two naps. I've got no endurance yet. My intent is to do another hour on Thursday, same deal, one hour then leave. Hopefully by next Tuesday I'll be able to do the full time. On Tuesday's, at least, there is a sub who will be there through the end of the month filling in for me so I'll be able to take my time getting back. Not sure about Thursdays until I test is this week.
I just did another ping test and things are still not good.
Fortunately the A/C still works with Nest unavailable.
