Since I can’t go to the blog/internet and journal until I get my internet connection back, I’m writing each day in the Word Office program which has a program called Blog Post. Then you just click a button and it automatically goes to the blog so fast it’s hard to believe. Since I usually have to reformat a little when I’ve used the Word program, I like to work right in the blog better, but if I do this for a while I might like it fine. There actually is no clicking back and forth to edit and view like in the blog.
This is the second day without phone or internet. I will go over to the neighbor’s and see if I can begin to get it all straightened out – should have gone yesterday. I’m thinking of Debbie. So about 10 a.m. I took the dogs and thought this would be a good day to see the Henningers and use their phone. One of the ranchers was gathering the Angus off the allotment next to us and driving them horseback down our road. On the way I did some photography – cattle drive, antelope, scenery, horses and cattle at the Kramer Place and there was a beautiful mule at the Emerson School, an old one room log schoolhouse. Those with the horses at the Kramer Place - the old log house with big old cottonwoods - might make a nice painting. They also all walked over and drank from a pond and I got that with their reflections.
Sheral said they would probably be up Thursday, but their gate was still locked. So I went over to Sandra’s. Luckily she was home and I made all the phone calls – clinic for Joe’s PSA test results, Beverly to see how Debbie was doing, and to let them know everything here is o.k., Dave to ask about the internet receiver, Charm to ask if she would get Sandy at the phone company to report the phone and she had already figured that out and called Sandy. Thanks Charm. I had to call back several times to both the clinic and Dave so it took most of an hour. Dave told me how to check some of the wires and to go to internet properties and check in there. Otherwise I’m going to have to wait until we get the phone back working and call hughes.net. Hughes.net will have to send Dave a work order then he might need to replace the receiver. It’s still on warranty and I hope that works better than getting the TV fixed has.
Sandra and the dogs are going up to their trailer in Irish Canyon later today for the weekend. She invited me to come up. Next week she is flying to MI for her son’s wedding. On the way back home I met the cattle again and they had already gone about 6 or 7 miles. It’s going to be a very hot day today and I felt sorry for the guy and his horse and three Aussie dogs.
The hay and the countryside look better after having just a little rain.
Joe’s pumping the water out of the basement today. It’s a yearly task after the irrigation water goes off. He said there are only 6 or 8 inches in there and that’s as little as I ever have known to be in there. Usually its about 4 feet deep and you have to pump it out periodically, and when the irrigating water goes off it takes several days to get it pumped out.
Back under the desk…..I checked the wires and they seem to be all secure. Can’t do anything else until I get the phone back.
