Same here.

I have a little cabin lost in the Mendocino woods in Northern
California. Just me, an infestation of hummingbirds in the spring and
summer (kidding they are lovely, even though they are very protective of
their fav flowers beds), plenty of squirrels and raccoons, and even the
(very occasional) black bear.

I travel there very light on the motorcycle, hence can't carry stuff
around. These days there's a drizzle of running water, unreliable
electricity, and now even borderline wireless coverage has made it in if
you contortion your hand in a certain position.

There is also a SB Boom performing excellent and highly satisfying duty.
It also runs forever off a portable battery. LMS duty is performed by a
resident, ancient Thinkpad X60 running some LMS version of Ubuntu, 14 at
the most, haven't checked. New music is uploaded either via SDcard (that
I manage to put in the pocket :-D), or spotty 4G coverage.

Sure I could just plug some in-ears into my smartphone and enjoy amazing
music quality, but there's something super satisfying about *not*
drowning out the nature sounds while I prowl about.

The cabin is not perfectly insulated, and all the protection the SB Boom
and the X60 have between visits is that i wrap them in tarp. They've
survived this for over 10 years.
