Cruise Control

or some semblance

Bearing in mind that cruising is also fraught w/ danger. I mean that we fulfilled the bulk of our social debt last night. The neighbours gathered here for appetizers and booze. Which is great cuz everyone walks home.
The Honda Ridgeline has Adaptive Cruise Control which translates into real world speak as  < so safe that its a pain the a** >
The big complaints are the sensors that drop your speed down if cars are detected at 10 car lengths.
Meaning in the actual scenario, a car dropping into your lane after passing will cause the ACC to slow your vehicle until that 11 car length distance is achieved. Safe but you the driver know that car ahead is accelerating or at least out pacing you and is no problem < yet >.
Our 3 rd party internet provider is TekSavvy. Recently, in a fit of something or other, I increased the data download speed package for $7 a month more.
The data feed sped up but seemed to balk at 10 Mb/s
In an effort to unblock, I tried a reset. The result was no internet feed.
The techs trouble shot the problem and I ended up w/ wireless feed but no hard wired connection.
To-day, following a further prompt from the boys of TS, I enabled LAN and got ethernet feed.
The upshot, data speed is up from 6.?? to 10.??? Mb and the screen pops alive.
Still shy of the 15 Mb which is maximum capacity
However, double is good and doable.

To quote Whitehorse the Cdn duo ' ooh, ooh Kicking Down Your Door '

Make way for the welcoming committee All smiles & handshakes for now They are screening refugees for authenticity The desparados keep their eyes on the ground Here comes the weight of suspicion Accusations growing like weeds Now the young men in their hand me down parkas Bartering these archaic dreams oooooh kicking down your door oooooh kicking down your door
