@quantumfiber Begun. I didn't watch for a reply while waiting for the chat; the chat never actually happened. Oof.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

Of note: @quantumfiber getting emails about having new hardware sent out to support Wi-Fi 7 should probably wait on that. The upgrade process - particularly to install wifi pods extenders - is singularly non-functional.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

@quantumfiber Their current customer service wait times are reaching into multiple hours according to some notes from Redditors (POSSIBLY exaggerated, but unlikely). I'm in queue with customer service and showing up as #65 after about half an hour.

This mirrors earlier attempts for contact.

Correction: @quantumfiber customers.

It appears from Reddit that there may be a way to make it work if the user can update the firmware in each individual piece of hardware by hand, but that's beyond the understanding of most folks.

@johnmaddening Sphagnum moss had a lasting effect on the young science nerds of Wisconsin. #uwsciencecamp

@CubicleApril @DanMarStP @RaisingOneBrow Can confirm.

@JenMsft @stufflistings DARNIT JEN.

I miss linking FB and other social media updates from people.

@CathyWurzer @mnstatefair The Irish Butter ice cream on cinnamon toast will probably be inhaled by my wife. And daughter.

And me, if I am frank.

@DanMarStP I understand it snows there a bit as well and with less sunlight.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

@aluhrs13 Yes, please?

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

@chilumba @KenSadahiro Yep. Plenty better coffee houses nearby. While I realize I probably visited it as a kid, it has negative nostalgia to me.

@TomBasgen Latin is the ancient language of the feline overlords.

Don’t let them dream together, Tom.

@DanMarStP Photosynthesis: the board game IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

@DanMarStP It will be SO fancy.

Get in on the fancy, @DanMarStP ! Those pocketbooks won’t empty themselves. #expensivemischiefonsouthdale

Great Twitter 🧵by @FacilitatorSher. How do you take something that is sort of, kind of about local businesses and make it greater and Grander?

[Sherry @ Cultivate Strategy @FacilitatorSher]

Grand Old Day is a lot like Dairy Queen. A half hearted Twitter rant. #grandoldday

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

@FacilitatorSher points out as well that most of them have no idea how to park to provide maximum parking spaces.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

Living just south of Grand Ave on GOD (Grand Old Day) - no relation to your favorite theism - always puts me in mind of people and car watching.

I don’t think I like the sheer number of cars on the street…they are huge and fast and driven by people desperate to be elsewhere.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

@DanMarStP Lineup at Billy’s is doing well. Enjoyed sitting in on a couple of yard bands around Northern Brewer as well.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

Well done, GOD.

And after walking the three miles and back…I am done.

[Drew Johnson @DrewJohnsonMN]

Grand Old Day. Parade readied.
