Ahead of schedule

-02 F, Semi clear, W wind 5 mph, -14 F wind chill.
Good morning,
Winter seems to have arrived ahead of schedule this year. The lake is keeping us a bit warmer, but it don't feel like it. Just cold. At least the wind is not as high as yesterday. The wind was really a-moving yesterday once we got out of the woods. Bet the woods are crunchy today.
I finally gave up on Margriet's computer. We will take it to our guru on Monday. In the process of sorting out the various cables inside of the case and disconnecting the correct one, I inadvertently disconnected the cooling fan wires. I could not find where it was that the plug came from on the mother board, no matter how hard Margriet or I looked. I finally sent another email to hp and they returned a repair manual with a diagram of the mother board with the various connections located. It was right there!
After several confusing emails with the tech department at hp, I really got confused. More than one person was answering them and each apparently had their own way to solve the problem. I have a feeling they were off-shore also, as their use of English was some different and convoluted. Requesting clarification, I kept getting different methods to try. Too confusing for this Old Norwegian. Put everything back together again from whence it came (I hope) and will put it into the vat tomorrow for a ride to Algoma.
When we went to got post office to mail the packages, we didn't! The post office has very short hours on Saturday and we showed up about 5 minutes after the window closed. They too will need to wait until Monday to be sent. The post office is only open for 2 hours on Saturday morning. What happened to the days when we would get two, possibly three, deliveries to the house each day during the Christmas season?
I spent a good share of the day writing and printing out our Christmas letter and required envelops. I find the printer is really starting to cause problems. It has for sometime had a couple little of quirks, but now they are bigger. The printer has done a lot of printing over the years, so expect it will die before too long now. I really don't want to replace it as the ink is somewhat reasonable to purchase, compared to the newer models. The initial cost is not great, but the operation seems to be for most on the market now.
Margriet used the opportunity of her computer being down to use the laptop to download and organize some of her photos. In the process she actually filled one of the memory sticks. The first. Actually it is a small one and we will have to get a bigger one for photos. We have one, but I am using it for back up of many files. Have to get them organized and off of it, then we can use it for photos. Trying to group the photos into folders by subject and/or time. That will have to wait a bit I think.
Margriet and I are serving communion today so have to get the day a-going. The kids have their day too, so should be a full house. Plan to pick up the Christmas stuff on the way home from church.
In Christ My Saviour,
Chris <><
