Starlink and politics. And our refrigerator!

Yesterday morning we puttered around cleaning up Igor. There was still lots of bodyshop dust because we never got a chance to get him properly cleaned up after getting his roof painted, and then of course we were at the beach with all the salt and sand flying around. 

He's looking much better!

Then we went out and did some walking. We stopped in at the Office Depot to see if they had sourced our new Starlink Mini hardware, and they said that it is en route and should arrive Thursday... but Friday at the latest!

By the way, I need to interject here... several people have made comments (some of which I've had to delete) about our decision to buy a Starlink system, and somehow linking politics to our decision to buy a great product. Politics is TOTALLY unrelated. I don't care who made the product, and I don't care whether or not you personally like or dislike the people running the company. All I care about is the fact that this is the best product for our needs. If there was another company who makes a similar product, I would be quite happy to compare the choices. But there is not.

It's one of the reasons we never talk about politics on this blog. It's too divisive and most people don't have an open enough mind to see the other side. Long time readers know that the only time we talk about politics is if it directly affects our travels. And long time readers also know that we don't let the politics of any country affect our decision to travel to it. One thing we have learned from visiting 72 countries is that the people are not the government. 

So please... keep your political views off our pages. There are a lot of other forums that will accept them.

Anyhow... back to our regular scheduled programming...

I noticed our propane gauge yesterday. 

Still over a quarter tank!

The last time we filled Igor's propane tank was in October! Most RV fridges operate off propane when not connected to services, and although they don't use a lot of propane, it's a constant drain so we would normally be filling the tank once a month or so. 

But we are so happy with Igor's Nova Kool R4500 12 Volt Fridge. It was expensive, but it's one of the best decisions we made when we removed the 31 year old propane one.

Propane isn't always easy to get in some parts of South America, and now we know that we can go months between fill ups.

Heading out for a walk up to a viewpoint this morning!
