Fueling two towers

Fuel costs are increasing, Slade purchased 200 mil in fuel for the large tower which added...not as much time aas we would have liked.  We were near Amarr though so I jumped out and grabbed the 15k units of emergancy blocks I had stashed in Amarr and hauled it in.

I'm also running low on electrolytes, amazingly even with 2 gas giants on system.  I'll be reconfiguring my PI setup soon to drop the factory on p4 over to p2 and using an extra extracing slot.

Other than that, I almost miss having good neighbors in the hole - sure they brought trouble with them but it also added targets.

Edit:  Almost shot a blue - saw a ferox on dscan harvesting gas.  Got direction and distance, used Penny's method of pinpointing where the ferox was and warped in systems hot.  He warped off as I noticed I was targeting a blue.

Will need to keep in mind the ships Shockwave Innovations have an SWI prepended to the name.  They invited us onto a roam of our static C4 once we realised blue status, and then yep, connection dropped.   Really wish there was more of a choice in ISPs around here as the local monopoly is seemingly unable to resolve the issue of random connection drops.

Connection lost...

My internet connection has been rather spotty lately, and it's been bad enough that I have not been able to put any solid playtime into Eve.   Unfortunately Comcast has been unable to figure out what the heck is wrong with my service, and there are really no other choices in the area.

Broadband monopolies kinda suck.
