I inherited our family farm, but it was in danger of being sold. For reasons beyond my control, it has become run down. I hope to save it and restore it to it's former beauty and perfection.

Wi-FI
I arrived at the farm on Tuesday. Amazingly, my mailbox is intact. Perhaps the local boys are on their social sites instead of bashing mailboxes. "Opening up the farmhouse" is a task. I've worked my way through getting dish TV. No cable here. I've had the Tin Cup people hook up a water softener. Well water is full of minerals which clog up the pipes and appliances. I've gotten the old furnace working as it is dipping into the 40's at night. Good sleeping weather. I bought some prepaid mobile broadband, so I can use my computer. It was a nightmare to install it. Shame on you Verizon. It's taken most of the day and a lot of frustration. Well. The farmer's son drove the combine out of the barn, and they have been harvesting soybeans today. It looks to be a bumper crop this year. Yea. We all need the money. As I expected, the invasive brush is everywhere, and poison ivy vines are creeping up my screens. My mind is too tired to think, so that's it for today.
