A New Antenna Connection!

We stopped at the AT&T store in Spokane yesterday. They gave us a new aircard to replace the one that was just a few weeks old on which the antenna connection had broken. That was really good news as they are $99 a pop!

I have been doing my blogs for the last few days from my iPhone. I'm pleased that I've figured out how to do it, but it takes a whole lot longer with that itty-bitty touch screen.

Almost all of the grain harvest in the area is over (the crops were a bit better then had been anticipated this spring with all of the necessary re-seeding) so last night's rain was much appreciated. Our tenant has his drills up on the summerfallow at the corner and hopes to start seeding wheat this weekend.

I cannot believe the quantity of dirty laundry I am looking at again. I know there were just a few items in the laundry basket when I left for Chicago! I think the soiled items sing a siren song during the night to entice all kinds of other clothing to join them...

Today?

I've been trying off and on all day to get on the internet, but have not been able to until now (almost 10 PM). Can't say that there is much to report as it's been a quiet day.

Forry did get his four wheeler started this morning -- thanks to the new battery -- and got at least the patches of Hoary Crest in the coulee near Auntie Violet sprayed. It's been a good year for the stuff, I think I've seen more of it than I ever have before.

Not sure what's going on with the wheat market -- it's up 45 cents since we sold some last week. I'm glad we still have a bit to sell, but it would have been nice to have hung on to what we sold last week a bit longer!
