Traffic has been down across all of the nets, suppose that life is
getting in the way.
I'm going to be at my family's cabin in the mountains soon, looking forward to some time out of town. Trying to get DSL up there has been a pain, we're in an unincorporated community and most of AT&T's automated systems don't register our address.
In the meantime, I have a 1TB card in my phone, all of my movies loaded onto it, and a USB-C to HDMI cable that lets me play movies on our TV.

I don't have any plans to depart the scene etc. but rather just need to pace myself with real life demands a bit at the moment.

Our neighbors were able to get DSL but it took many many calls.
Once I get DSL up there, I'm planning on spending more time up there -
would love to work remotely from there in the summertime, and to keep
track of the BBS from there.
Good. You're not allowed to.. breaks are ok, but no vanishing on us :P
Just kidding of course - though you would be missed if you left.
Yeah, it comes and it goes. I think there's probably plenty of people lurking, but if no conversation starters it can get quiet.

How's parenthood treating you? Still getting some sleep? Can you sing A B C D... in your head when you don't really want to? :)

That sounds like fun! When you say in the mountains, is it secluded
with forests and bears and wildlife around, or part of a town in the mountains?

Starlink? Might be expensive though..

he's really into the "super simple songs" on youtube, especially
"noodle and pals" haha, we bought him a board book from amazon with
those characters and he loved it.. to death. Wife being an ex-library assistant fixed it once, but the second time it was time to go... so we ordered two more of the same book :P
Too many trees. No line of sight.
but not at the top of that mountain? Just need a long coax cable.

I've been trying to get my grown kids to get their heads around having
cartoons on only from 7:00am until around 10:30am on Saturdays. You'd
be into your third hour of cartoons, sitting in front of the TV with a
bowl of sugary cereal turned to mush in front of you when a cartoon
would end, and the next show was something like Meet the Press.
That's when you got on your bike and rode around to a park or your
friends house. Simpler times.
