Methow Valley premium?
I had a gas spout break on me, so I stopped by Napa in Twisp and got an EZ Pour brand spot. This little piece of plastic cost me over $20 plus tax. I was taken aback by the price - even the employee looked surprised, so I checked it on Amazon. On Amazon, this exact thing is $10. On Napa's own web si...

Re: Kubota tractor service.
If finding a local fails, I had great success with both Valley Rentals in Wenatchee and Pepe machinery in Omak. For $200-something roundtrip, shared if they have multiple machines to pick up in the Valley, they will take your tractor to their shop and get it fixed.

To render a typical page, say, in gMail, modern web applications may take 50-100 round-trips. StarLink is the best...

Re: internet options?
StarLink is both the most practical, and the highest quality option anywhere in the Valley. There is also MethowNet (poor latency during peak hours), T-Mobile (very unreliable) and Highest satellite (useless for most modern applications because the latency is around 1 second).
