We have a roof mounted satellite that can be automatically reset and positioned for access each time we park in a new location. This is very handy and speeds up the set up process. Sometimes, like yesterday, we are foiled by the surrounding area. I n this case there is a light pole that is exactly in line between the dish and satellite.
Therefore, we needed to bring out the manual dish and positioned it. For some reason the compass was having a hard time settling on due North. Since that is a key ingredient to successfully positioning the manual dish, it took a little time to finally fine the right spot both on the ground and in the sky. In the process, Ruthi accidently killed a black caterpillar. There are a lot of them both here in San Juan Bautista and Oceano. Guess we need to make amends and look up what type of butterfly/moth they become.
