Okay. No electricity, no water. So for years I've lived without, and I haul water from the spring, and in the winter I melt the snow because we get a lot of snow. But three summers ago now, I was there alone, and I fell down the stairs, all the wooden stairs, and I broke the top of my foot. Whew.

And I said, you know, this isn't going to be very fun for a while because I got to close up the cabin and I have a propane fridge and stove and I got to undo the propane and empty the fridge. And I got a lot shorter because I'm not going to be back. I got a broken foot. So I'm hobbling around. And I said, OK. Now I'm going to get Starlink.

That was my motivator because if I had a phone, I could have called somebody for help, but I didn't and I couldn't. So after that, then I got on the Starlink. They were still in the beta development, I think. And anyway, I got on. So I have Starlink available to me at my cabin. But only when I choose to turn it on. It's not like if you were to email me or call me up there, you wouldn't get me.

And when I choose to turn it on, I get the messages. So it's kind of the best of both worlds. But I don't live there full time anymore. I live in town.

The new one that's got the router with it. It's incredible.
