Maybe it’s me!

Ed is busily wiring his computer to our wireless router. The irony is not lost on me.
I have installed software for my new digital camera, an inexpensive Kodak in pink. It was the only one they had left. With the next in line being forty dollars more expensive, I can deal with girly. It takes [...]

Mixed blessing

I found my truck key! No, I didn’t go out into the fields after all. My shoulder was barely keeping my arm attached to my body, let alone willing to steer a balky machine. I found it in the outside pocket of the bag in which my Yorkie travels. When we went for breakfast and [...]

Losing ground

I paid in spades for the effort to walk that treeline! I could barely move Friday but I knew Ed wanted me to try out the hill road he’d groomed. After all I haven’t been down to the beach in almost a year since I flipped the atv on the way back up last summer [...]

Stalking the wild

We went out windmill stalking last night. I shouldn’t have tried to walk the treeline to set up the shots and had to send Ed after all with instructions. We didn’t get the pix I’d envisioned but did get some great resource shots that are leading me to plan a fibre piece that it’s good [...]

New crop

So yesterday they erected the wind turbine closest to us (so far) and Ed went across the highway to take pictures:
According to my daughter, “Morley Mifflin, my hens’ best customer, was talking to the guy in charge of the windmill project (at least they talk to somebody!) and he said that all things being equal [...]

Starting over

Well the den got as clean on Saturday as it’s been during my tenure and I even got most of the extraneous stuff off my old computer (I think). It’s in residence, hooked up to Ed’s monitor, keyboard and mouse where I did the surgery so I can even access my storeroom again and have [...]

Cleaning up

So, firmly established in my sixty-second year (which is about how quickly they seem to pass anymore), I have been setting up a new computer, attempting to wrestle it into submision – or at least co-operation. I so could have done without Windows Vista! I succeeded in transferring files from the old hard drive though [...]

Hippo, Birdie, Two Ewes . . . .

Happy Birthday! What fun!
Now I’m sixty-one.
I’m old and decrepit.
Happy birthday to me!
That little bit of doggerel ran through my mind like a bad soundtrack all day yesterday although it was really a very pleasant day overall. Spent the usual time in the truck while Ed examined and probably purchased a “parts truck” to be trailered [...]

Obsolete equipment

Since we couldn’t both be on line at the same time until I got the new router set up, Ed was raring to go first thing this morning to hit a couple of yard sales (The man takes his life in his hands; I hadn’t even had coffee!), have breakfast in Merlin with the papers [...]

Grandma on the go

I am no longer wireless-less. It turned out to be a software problem (in the radio receiver) and I’ve got an upgrade ahead of schedule so that’s OK but the router’s dead so I have to replace that so Ed can get online on his own computer and I can use the laptop. And we [...]
