Drive Home Detoured | Starlink Mini Driving Test

[00:00:11]Are you guys getting clicking noises?

[00:00:17]Hopefully not.

[00:00:38]Oh, maybe it's cleared up.

[00:00:46]>> Head northwest.

[00:00:50]>> What up? H how's the quality so far? um through this I thought so I was heading home early uh and they were shoving everybody from the 10 off out of the 86.

[00:01:10]I was getting gas and whatnot um as she leaves anyways. So, I [ __ ] stopped and uh uh figured I would take, you know, the back way home. Well, uh now that I'm out here, uh it's rerouting me and telling me I can actually go um my normal way home after I typed in detourred. So, yeah, I did grab some little snacky snacks. I did I did laundry today um and worked part of part of a day and then they were like, "Well, here we go.

[00:01:55]You know, we're going to drop you off pretty close to on your way back." I was like, "All right, I I I made enough money for uh both fills and probably the fill tomorrow, so uh not too shabby. Uh, and today's fills, both of them, $19.99.

[00:02:17][ __ ] yeah. [ __ ] yeah.

[00:02:20]Not Not like I'm going to party like that hard or anything like that, but yeah.

[00:02:28]I usually treat myself to a ding-dong every night on the way home. Um, I am going to switch you guys around though, so you I'm curious on how well that quality is going to be the driving quality.

[00:02:49]Uh and I have been so yeah I'm I'm using Starlink which is uh yeah constantly snacking you know me not really that's my that's my snack at night and then I have uh uh lunch slashd around 2 or constantly drinking yet >> in 500 ft. Turn right.

[00:03:35]>> But yeah, traffic seems to be >> right >> moving reasonable again. So no detour, just normal way.

[00:03:47]But we'll get to see if uh it drops out anywhere as well.

[00:03:59]Now, so I did use it uh while doing doing door dashing and uh when you get underneath like these concrete bridges and [ __ ] like that, sometimes it drops out.

[00:04:15]Um but for the most part, yeah, I was a buck eight today.

[00:05:24]Oh, yeah. I I made kind of a snarky post on uh uh Facebook because I think I've had this Starlink Mini for 7 8 months maybe 9 months now and I finally got it into a vehicle like the original uh placed the order for this thing but I thought it came with it, so that's why I did. And yeah, you can't find those pieces anywhere. That that is one thing that you got to order from Starlink or from Amazon or something like that to get it delivered and like I just put it up. I currently still don't have that. I do want to get it get that done. But uh good old captain here, she's got uh a a 110 plugin bridge latency. All right.

[00:06:47]Well, I'm finishing up my dingdong while we're sitting here and potentially dropping Oh.

[00:07:23]Oh, God.

[00:07:28]Oh, and and now we're slowing down. What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] You lied to me, Google Maps.

[00:07:49]Well, it is still probably quicker than the other route.

[00:08:01]But I'm guessing after we get past this stop light up here, we should be good to go.

[00:08:09]Hopefully.

[00:08:11]Hopefully.

[00:08:32]I would ask how the video quality is, but we ain't moving fast enough to justify that.

[00:09:16]Google map says there's about 12 minutes of this [ __ ] Yay! Fun and exciting, huh?

[00:09:46]What are we doing here, folks?

[00:09:49]Jesus [ __ ] Christ.

[00:10:00]Let him in. Let him in. All right. All right.

[00:10:50]uh we're going to see maybe well may maybe not 75. We won't get going 75.

[00:10:58]Uh but like for Google Maps and whatnot, it's it's worked fine.

[00:11:07]Uh, as well as like I was playing music via YouTube playlist, so it was playing the videos and whatnot. And yeah, we're still getting that going 70 miles an hour just fine.

[00:11:51]Oh yeah, cuz they're they're still doing uh uh train derailment cleanup, man. Still to this day.

[00:12:13]Yeah. As well as that in that area. It is a little little sketch depending on the atmosphere cuz it wasn't an always thing.

[00:13:47]Hey Deborah, how you doing?

[00:13:58]But yeah, like like I was mentioning earlier, I've had this uh Starlink Mini for well, probably nine, we'll just say nine months. How about that? and I finally got it in here. So, I put kind of a snarky post on Facebook about how I finally got it in without I didn't even need a woman nagging me to get it done.

[00:14:23]Doing pretty good.

[00:14:30]Just cruising in my one.

[00:14:36]Hey critters, how you doing?

[00:14:47]But this starts to go good.

[00:14:51]Uh, the other thing is now that it's starting to warm up and whatnot, I might go and try to do Door Dash in and uh Uber Eats in the San Diego area where the weather is nicer.

[00:15:26]Oh yeah, that's [ __ ] shut off that [ __ ] dumb uh Oh, shut off. [ __ ] Plus like to mix up the scenery and all, you know.

[00:16:48]Now, I might not have to go all the way into the San Diego area to do Door Dash and whatnot. I I could probably uh uh just go to LK John and and run there.

[00:17:07]May maybe drop off parking won't be so bad cuz Yeah, that was the you know, one thing that uh No, I'm not on the 10.

[00:17:17]They pushed all the traffic off the 10.

[00:17:21]onto the 86 because uh uh there was a truck on fire on the 10.

[00:17:31]So they close that down and now push everybody over here.

[00:18:00]And I am guessing that right after this uh uh stop light up here, it'll open up.

[00:18:39]Well, I've already eaten.

[00:18:42]But yeah, for the rest of these people, not so much. Although so she's has some it's has or the Dylan exit has a truck stop that has diner food uh Popeye's Sheileies has uh you know cafeteria style food so like they can sit could sit and wait there but I'm pretty sure uh that's just too quick that was too quick of an exit for them to be like, "All right, I should do something else other than sit this shit."

[00:19:25]But I'm guessing uh Mecca might get some extra business. They got the the uh few things down there.

[00:20:06]Yeah. price of gas has got it to the point where uh the gas money that it takes to for me to drive up and my coffee addiction, you know, for the drive up here. If I if I eliminate those expenses, uh I could get a a little cassita in a gated community up here in Palm Springs area.

[00:20:44]Uh that was just 549 I just put in.

[00:21:00]Yes, I'm still profitable as a dasher.

[00:21:38]And here I thought I was going to get home early cuz I was just like, you know what? This dropped me off kind of where kind of farther down. I don't how about I just head home and not drive back.

[00:22:05]Not me.

[00:22:07]If I'm going to work, I'm going to spend.

[00:22:15]I mean, honestly, if I do if I die with more than than uh the deductible for the car accident or whatever that killed me, I'll consider my life a failure or my budgeting a failure.

[00:22:41]Well, and that includes, you know, having life insurance.

[00:22:48]Like when I got the the vehicle, I did get life insurance cuz I don't want to stick my kid with a belt.

[00:23:05]So yes, things paid off enough to cover a deductible.

[00:23:12]anything much more than that. That That was just not not well budgeted.

[00:23:41]Am I going to make it through this run?

[00:23:58]Am I going to make it through this run?

[00:24:03]Oh, maybe. Maybe.

[00:24:07]It's looking good.

[00:24:19]Yeah, I I I ain't [ __ ] stop, but you can [ __ ] up.

[00:24:33]I mean, I could have could have did a hard launch if I stayed though, huh?

[00:24:38]would have been there on the first front row.

[00:24:44]Didn't see what was next to me. Must not been anything worth racing.

[00:25:03][ __ ] How far were they? Did they push people this road?

[00:25:27]Cuz there really shouldn't be people on that side of the road right now.

[00:26:06]So I know we got we might have got all close to 45 miles an hour. Still decent signal.

[00:26:37]Oh yeah, there are no little ant lights going up at all. [ __ ] >> In 2 miles, take the exit on the right.

[00:27:06]>> Currently getting uh 28.5 miles per gallon on average.

[00:27:38]I do know this gets about 30 something or 30. Yeah, 30 something like I think maybe 35ish um on the highway because when I first cleared off the uh tripometer thing cuz that keeps a running tally. It's giving me a an an average of all time and that's the best way for me to be able to keep track of oh you know sudden suddenly you know there's a 0.5 uh miles of drop in in gallons and I know, oh [ __ ] something's up. Guys should take a look at it. Um, so I don't clear it out every time, but when I first got it and cleared it out and I was taking uh the 111 and not the 111, but the >> in a half mile, take the exit on the right.

[00:28:38]>> The 10. No, we're not taking the exit on the right.

[00:28:47]I know where I'm going now. We're We're moving along at the moment. So, I'm not going to listen cuz Yeah. Hopefully they got the lights on at the at the grill.

[00:30:31]Oh, look at that. Nine people. My lights.

[00:30:46]Yeah, that's cuz they diverted a bunch of traffic over here.

[00:30:52]There was a semitr on fire on the 10.

[00:31:51]Yeah, I know. Zip. Zap too.

[00:32:07]I got to get home real quick on this.

[00:32:11]I'm late.

[00:32:20]Look at you [ __ ] stop it.

[00:32:44]Think it's time. Roll down the windows.

[00:32:49]Oh. Oh yeah. [ __ ] smells good today.

[00:32:53]Smells good today.

[00:33:04]Yeah. The the green houses are not lit up, but they got the [ __ ] they got the plastic sides up.

[00:33:15]Oh, [ __ ] yeah. [ __ ] yeah.

[00:33:33]Uh, I work up in the Palm Springs area and I'm going from Palm Springs to Slap City.

[00:33:58]Oh, I hope they continue to send them down the [ __ ] 86, not the 111.

[00:34:26]Wait, what if I roll off the window?

[00:34:30]It's still smiling over here.

[00:34:42]You can even deal with the road.

[00:35:51]No, officer. I don't smell like marijuana. That is Mecca. That smells like marijuana.

[00:36:50]What? The Kia ahead of me looks like a the popo.

[00:37:20]Oh [ __ ] Let's hope it's not There's more left turns than usual, too.

[00:38:04]Hopefully, they're just going over the truck stop.

[00:38:24]Yeah. 589 for regular over here or for unladded regular.

[00:39:30]I'm not really seeing much of a pileup after this left. And we're moving decent.

[00:39:40]I mean, yeah, a lot of traffic, but we were moving.

[00:40:03]Oh, of course not.

[00:40:06]But at least we should make the next B the next round pretty easily.

[00:40:19]And we're no longer following that cop.

[00:40:26]Jeez, it's taken 40 minutes to get to She to here.

[00:40:36]To put that in perspective, in the mornings, that's from when I get my coffee, aka would log on in the mornings, and then I would drive to go fill up gas to there. That took 40 minutes.

[00:41:00]40 minutes in the morning. We would I would be here, get gas, go through the car wash, and and be getting ready to park.

[00:41:57]Let's go, folks. Come on. Come on.

[00:42:12]I got a wife and child waiting for me back at home.

[00:42:21]Lies.

[00:42:24]I just want to get Oo.

[00:43:05]Oh, I still don't got that fire out.

[00:43:12]Was that something else?

[00:43:37]Yeah, imagine a truck full of lithium batteries catching on fire.

[00:43:42]Take forever to put that [ __ ] thing out. I'm not really seeing any smoke glowage, though.

[00:43:52]All right. So, yeah, we we the [ __ ] out.

[00:44:32]Yep.

[00:44:34]Thought I was going home about an hour early. I lost all that [ __ ] time.

[00:44:58]It's still got a decent uh connection slash picture slash sound audio whatnot.

[00:45:17]Oh, drop down to six people. Maybe not.

[00:45:19]Maybe not.

[00:45:50]You still in here, bro?

[00:45:55]Oh [ __ ] Maybe maybe that's a Hear them.

[00:47:12]Wonder what it looks like with face back on me in this setup.

[00:47:23]Oh, not very good at all.

[00:48:00]Got a bunch of people behind us. Well, not right behind us, but coming up behind us. I'm guessing they are all going to uh Northshore though, which is coming up here in a little bit.

[00:48:29]So now just kind of hit the area where the palm trees are on the right. I don't know if you'll be able to see them, but on the daytime you definitely see them.

[00:48:42]And I know uh Rev will know what I'm talking where I'm talking about.

[00:49:11]So yeah, anybody want to type to me and tell me uh quality, give me a quality rating on uh we're now doing 55 because that is the speed limit in this area.

[00:49:24]um in a normally notorious area that doesn't have that great of connection.

[00:49:41]Oh, there's a big fire there. [ __ ] All right, never mind.

[00:50:18]Yeah, it sounds like it's pretty far from him.

[00:50:24]More in slabs proper than the front canal.

[00:51:00]Yeah, I'm not getting the little spinny thing myself.

[00:51:49]The lights you see ahead of you, that is uh the town of North Shore.

[00:51:57]We're We're coming up on it, which is where a lot of these people will disappear to.

[00:53:18]See how they're all taking a left here.

[00:53:31]All right. Apparently, we got we got disconnected for a bit.

[00:53:37]Um or was spinning on my end for a long time.

[00:53:45]What the glitch is through there.

[00:53:57]No, I don't know what it was. Uh, but yeah, definitely cuts off in in there. Maybe they block it. Maybe they block signal going through there on the highway.

[00:54:30]or quote unquote dead zone.

[00:54:42]And then uh I had a vehicle [ __ ] pull right up on me and kept following me. So I couldn't [ __ ] touch the phone at all to try to [ __ ] with it to get it back at all.

[00:54:59]Had to wait for them to finally decide, oh, he's not going to speed up. Let's just pass now that we can.

[00:55:21]Is it a decent signal now?

[00:55:44]There's quite a bit of static like a clicking noise type. Is it a noise static or uh video static?

[00:56:29]Nope. Apparently, I'm not getting your messages.

[00:56:40]All right. So, the blown out speaker bit is probably how it's the phone is resting.

[00:56:52]on something. I I was hoping I could put a little napkin in between it and that would create enough padding where the clicking bit would go away, but it did not.

[00:57:50]But after this first test and whatnot, the next step is I guess moving on to streaming from the GoPro.

[00:58:01]Hopefully 360, but then again, maybe down 360. We'll see.

[00:58:35]Oh, I I get those on there, but if you are sending me something via the phone, uh I am not Oh, I am seeing your messages on on there.

[00:59:03]I mean I can't read them all quickly because I am driving.

[00:59:14]Thank you, Dragona.

[00:59:44]Oh.

[00:59:47]Oh, here. Here we go. We're coming to the county line. Good road. Crappy road.

[00:59:53]Well, not quite crappy road, but yeah, crappy road. But I I can go from 55 up to 65 now.

[01:01:03]Yeah, I get the got this going. Now I got to figure out how to do the um where it does the voice text for every message.

[01:01:16]So then I can drive and then when time shift it'll it'll say it to me and yeah I should be will push more data through.

[01:01:50]So, I'm probably limited right now on the quality um due to the fact that it's on the mobile app.

[01:02:22]Weird.

[01:03:16]I'm watching the road through my phone.

[01:03:21]I don't know how safe that is. Keep on looking over to see what uh what you guys are seeing.

[01:04:10]Yeah.

[01:04:49]Oh [ __ ] I missed 1111. It's 1211.

[01:05:00]Well, there it is. Big money. Big money.

[01:05:02]Big money.

[01:05:15]uh southeastbound actually.

[01:05:20]But we going to do what they think can't be done.

[01:05:30]Now, the CRV hybrid that I wanted was actually going to be a nod to Smokey and the Bandit, the the car Bandit, all black with bronze wheels. And then I was going to take it in and have the grill wrapped in a similar bronze.

[01:06:03]Birthday to bird.

[01:06:24]Right. The song was good. The movie was good.

[01:06:32]Also like Convoy, which is from the same time period with rubber ducky.

[01:06:40]Good song. Good truck and movie.

[01:06:47]Off to your right is uh Bet Beach.

[01:06:58]We would be exiting up here on the right to get there, but you see the lights from back there.

[01:07:20]Now, if you look straight ahead, you see that big cluster of lights over there?

[01:07:29]That is the fountain of views.

[01:08:43]The warriors come out to play.

[01:09:14]I'm kind of surprised that they haven't remade warrior.

[01:11:14]Oh, you're going to get white line fever for watching Oh, Damn it.

[01:14:01]Yeah, it is the desert. Things get dry.

[01:14:21]Once it starts, things go up quick.

[01:15:09]Yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this little uh test, little little surprise stream, little bonus.

[01:15:19]I have been thinking about maybe once a month. Seems I've dropped down to once once a week instead of three times a week. Uh I am thinking about maybe once a week doing something in the evening time. Maybe on a weekend.

[01:15:51]catch a little bit different gravity, you know, catch different burgers.

[01:16:05]And yeah, maybe it's something where I'm at home where I can actually pay attention, not uh or pay attention more closely.

[01:17:17]All right.

[01:17:31]Another one.

[01:17:56]All right. Here. Here's the little bridge things that they have um for the moon lava p.

[01:18:35]This whole area that swoops over is to avoid it. It's actually on our left hand side right about there.

[01:18:57]square back to get back on the high part of the highway.

[01:19:09]Well, that we know about.

[01:19:12]That we know about.

[01:20:12]I can't wait to get some fantast.

[01:20:14]Absolutely.

[01:20:44]Got this hard work going.

[01:21:46]I guess I am getting home a little bit earlier than it's still about an hour. All right.

[01:22:05]Yeah, I normally get home around 10 10:30, but it's a little after 9 right now.

[01:22:25]And the reason why I was checking the time was cuz uh uh I'll show you where the other day I got I got pulled over.

[01:22:38]Well, I'll show you what the infraction happened.

[01:22:44]That's that's a bit more field than actually where where I And time is important cuz uh like normally there isn't this traffic on on the roads. It's even better. So that's a bit more what I was going to be filming, but it'll still be pretty on this road.

[01:23:47]the right time so I can see the kitty cat.

[01:24:32]Yep. About 3 and 1/2 miles.

[01:24:47]Why are you getting sleepy?

[01:24:59]Th This is the stop sign where I allegedly didn't come to the complete stop.

[01:25:16]We make sure we come to a complete stop now cuz I did make it on the other side of those railroad tracks before I got that lever. Uhoh, we got lights coming this way.

[01:25:38]lights up here.

[01:26:06]Oh, wait.

[01:27:04]Are they going around to go back?

[01:27:09]Yep. Sure. [ __ ] Let them go.

[01:27:16]Let them go.

[01:27:35]or if that means things started to spark back up.

[01:27:43]Oh, nope. They're staying there. All right.

[01:28:05]Oh, he could have for one of these people might have forgot a hose, too.

[01:28:10]I've seen that happen so far.

[01:28:22]Or they're wheel trucks.

[01:29:27]Oh goodness.

[01:29:33]Still going.

[01:30:41]South.

[01:30:49]I wonder if that's it.

[01:31:14]Yeah.

[01:31:33]Maybe not.

[01:32:00]the other side of the street.

[01:33:31]That's awesome.

[01:34:18]Yes, it walks to the blue church.

[01:35:20]Get the heart burn.

[01:36:01]Yeah, I actually spent my first few nights in a trailer behind the green church.

[01:36:10]This person was taking care of the fireworks.

[01:36:23]It was it didn't understand to figure out ended up out of the lab for the rest of the season before ending up on that hill.

[01:37:06]and boom.

[01:37:11]Just like that, I am home. Well, I want to thank everybody who uh showed up for this. Uh and uh I will take a look at and see what I think. Yeah. Yeah. Uh who knows?

[01:37:29]360 could be on its way. Until the next one, peace, love, and all that hippage jazz.
