Time to put new shoes on

I got my new shoes yesterday.

ok, stupid question time. I was given permission to go on this trip provided I can do my work remotely. As it turns out, I have to present on Monday morning and turn on my camera while doing it. So I at least have to bring a decent top .

Is there a location at the KOA where I have strong enough wifi for a video stream and can be indoors without looking like I'm on vacation? If I was presenting to the team I wouldn't care, but we have a presidential appointee who will be sitting at this meeting and i don't want it to look like I'm ****ing off , mostly because it will ruin it for everyone else on the team.

There is wifi at KOA. Not sure about a private area to use. Maybe you can use one of the cabins that SAS guys have reserved.
@GA Architect is staying in one that I know of.

Thanks, It'll be around 8 AM colorado time, would hate to wake anyone up for that. Is there a front desk area or building?

There is a main office but you may not have privacy.

More than welcome to sit inside Cabin #83 and chat.

I don’t know if this would meet your privacy needs, but maybe go to the lobby of one of the larger (??) hotels and use their WiFi in the lobby. Other end would obviously see you were in a hotel, but maybe that would be ok??

Thank You Sir, would hate to wake you up and subject you to that kind of boredom and fake flattery. But I might have to take you up on it if I can't figure it out. I'll bring beer

I was thinking of that, but not my preferred solution.

As long as you take the call in your boxers it's official.

Brother, no worries on the time! I'll go fuel my rig and find some food.

Will marine skivvies work for you?

Awesome, I currently look like one of those Al Qaeda dudes, so don't shoot if I knock on the door early Monday

 

[BombCity]

for sure!!! Four years and lots of miles!

Hard to believe it’s been four years. Seems like SAS1 happened yesterday. We’ve come a long way baby!

Good luck with the KOA WiFi speed, I doubt it will support a video meeting. Last year I was able to make a call at 5am Colorado time because no one else was on it. But by 7am speeds had dropped to a crawl. It sucks, but I would strongly suggest getting up really early, driving to a real hotel and using their WiFi. The KOA WiFi just doesn't have the bandwidth.

At SAS #1 Kay and I stayed at the Quality Inn in Ouray. We drove our '76 FJ40, and the owner, Bill, owns an 80-Series, so we talked quite a bit. I don't know if he's still running it though.

I just checked the reviews, as of February 19, 2020 Bill and Emily were still running it. A fellow Land Cruiser owner may be more than willing to accommodate you.

Thanks for heads up on this.

I mean if it was my cabin.... it would be the preferred outfit.

Well I look like the current PC version of Elmer Fudd, so it's all cool.
