Today Todd from “Digital Satellites” came by to fix the serious problems that were experienced with the Datastorm Satellite System.
He had managed to get into the Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve although he is not on the Vendor’s list of this trailer park.
Required by the management for companies and services to see their clients staying as guests in the park.
That would have cost Todd $ 700 to have an advertisement in the brochure of Santee Lakes plus he has to pay $ 50 to be on the Vendors list.
As the “Hungry Howie’s Pizza” place does selling Large Pepperoni pizzas for $ 8.
They need to sell a lot of pizzas to the campers to break even.
Todd is an experienced person when it concerns Datastorm Satellite Systems.
But he is also an experienced person when it comes to dogs.
This was discovered while waiting for the updating of the software in the Datastorm D3 controller.
Chatting with Todd revealed he and Bella are the champions of California, USA for dogs catching frisbees.
Now, many fervent and loyal blog readers will do “tsss tsss tsss”.
Every day a new story on this blog and one posting is even more extraordinary than the other.
How to avoid for a true and truth loving fervent and loyal blog reader not to become seriously sceptical.
How crazy can it actually become here in this place?
Ok, now it is the champion of California for frisbeeing dogs.
How deep and far is the fantasy of the writer going to come up now with this ludicrous story?
Unfortunately for the sceptics among us, the story is absolutely true.
Todd and his 3-year-old Belgian shepherd called Bella are really champion of California “Frisbee for dogs”.
On YouTube is a video where we can see Todd and Bella doing their routine and we must admit, it is truly spectacular.
This dog Bella is even capable to catch three Frisbees in one time!
Climb on the back of Todd and jump over two metres (6.5 ft) high.
Go to the YouTube-link and see for yourself.
Fortunately the Datastorm Satellite System is fixed now.
The firmware of the D3 has been upgraded.
As well as the Satellite Tables.
How much this was costing?
Trip charge: $ 75
Upgrade: $ 125
Grand total: $ 200
And it included that Todd cleaned the solar panels on the roof of the Fuso Szulc.

Santee shanti
The Fuso Szulc is now located in the Padre Dam’s Santee Lakes Recreational Preserve very close to San Diego, USA.
These lakes are in fact artificial water reservoirs used to make drinking water by a water company.
Around those lakes campsites are made, a headquarter, a swimming pool and buildings with bathrooms.
Several times before nights have been spent at Santee Lakes.
Because it is close to Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Fuso truck dealer.
Otherwise, Santee Lake as a place to stay generates only negative feelings.
Let the fervent and loyal blog readers understand correctly.
Many people in motor homes and trailers are staying at Santee Lakes and obviously do enjoy it.
Hence, the discontent with the place is purely personal.
And may find its origins in the free spirit, the long time spent in a dry river bed in Mexico, in never having served in the army or it might be for having been in a strict boarding school.
Santee Lakes has too many regulations and rules.
That is the problem.
It already starts when checking in.
They want to know if the traveller has been in Santee Lakes before.
How the traveller knows about Santee Lakes.
It is a survey, a questioning for Santee Lakes to have more data about their clientele.
Every traveller making use of Santee Lakes gets a brochure with the campground rules and regulations.
There are over 30.
Like:
Santee Lakes has Internet.
And a traveller is allowed only to connect to Santee Lake’s Internet service.
And for not more than 15 minutes per session.
Using the own Datastorm Satellite System is not allowed.
And the rules and regulations go on and on.
An A4 document printed in small letters on both sides.
Saying:
One of the reasons of being at Santee Lakes is to meet Todd from the company Digital Satellites based in San Diego.
He is going to fix the Datastorm Satellite System that is hopelessly mixed up.
The D3 controller needs to be updated and that is no simple job.
Hence, he will come in with his own laptop, connect to the Fuso Szulc’s D3 and improve the software.
When by chance this was mentioned to the receptionist of Santee Lakes, she instructed that this was not allowed.
The reason is that Santee Lakes publishes a brochure that each visitor gets.
In this brochure are many advertisements of local and regional businesses.
Mobile RV services, Pizza places, RV supplies stores, etc
And only those businesses that advertise in the Santee Lake brochure are allowed to come into the park and offer services to a camper.
The woman ordered to go out of the park with the Fuso Szulc to have Todd work on the Datastorm Satellite System for example on the parking lot of a shopping mall.
It is well known that not only does the body contain blood, but that this blood can cook and boil.
Emotions work as a microwave on the blood.
And this kind of Kafka-like, concentration camp-style of rules is the perfect way to have the Fuso Szulc driver show temperament.
Who has learned early in life that this is very counterproductive.
Hence, an e-mail was sent to Todd to come in a normal car and to tell the guard that he is coming to see a friend.
And what concerns all the other many rules and regulations, the strategy is deployed of being at Santee Lakes physically, but not mentally.
Spiritually the presence is elsewhere carried by the sounds of the recent purchased CD of Liquid Mind.

Wading and/or swimming in the lakes is strictly prohibited.

The Camping Unit must be positioned on the designated campsite appropriately so that the utility hook ups are located on the correct site.
Camping Units will be denied camping privileges based on unsightly appearance.

No trespassing
A last night in the USA.
On Padre Dam’s Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve.
These are a chain of water reservoirs around which camp places are created.
With electricity, water and sewage hook ups.
But they also have something they have in countries like Iran and China.
The price to stay one night includes WiFi.
One can connect to the Internet using Padre Dam’s Santee Lakes Wireless Internet System.
For this one needs to access a website, fill in a username and a password.
Next, the page of the company that handles the WiFi service appears and one can surf and mail.
However, it is with restrictions.
Like in China and Iran, certain websites are not allowed to visit.
A message appears that the connection is interrupted.
The websites that are not allowed to visit show pornography.
The scaring thing is that somehow the censor knows those websites.
Even if they are in France or other countries.
The Fuso Szulc had another visit to Kearny Mesa Truck Centre in San Diego yesterday.
To tighten the bolts and to eliminate a certain noise coming from underneath.
Like something loose and banging.
This Kearny Mesa Truck Centre in San Diego is a good place as they give excellent service and have a high quality of workmanship.
Service manager Ron Lucero wants customers to be happy and satisfied.
Mechanic John Neff is highly experienced with Mitsubishi Fusos.
Yesterday new rubber mats were placed between the camper box and the chassis.
And the swing mechanism of the cabin was oiled.
After all the service at Kearny Mesa Truck Centre in San Diego, the Fuso Szulc drives better than ever with her four Bilstein shocks, two Timbren shock absorbers, extra spring leaves and new rubber mats for the moving camper box.
Today is the crossing of the border into Mexico and the first of five days driving south.
