Good afternoon,

We are back at FISKLAND again and it is very hot and humid here! The temperature feels much hotter than the thermometer says. The sweat has remembered how to flow. I think the dryer climate up nort’ has acclimated us some away from this humidity. We really don’t like it and appreciated the AC in the truck on the way down, especially in Green Bay. I can’t believe I said that!

Apparently they had a storm last night/this morning. Lots of water everywhere and lots of tree branches down. There is one tree down near the house, fortunately falling parallel to the power lines and didn’t hit them that I can see. Unfortunately, all of my chainsaws are up nort’, so it will need to wait until next time here. Was going to use the string trimmer some on the hay field here, but it is way too wet for that. That too will have to wait a bit.

This didn’t get published this morning, thanx to this confuser not working correctly. The wireless came up and connected with no problem, but the internet connection lost it’s password and username for some reason. I could not remember it for the life of me, and all that I had recorded didn’t want to work. I have a neat little program on this machine, RoboForm, which normally fills them in for start up and also for other sites requiring passwords. It also fills in forms as I request too. It really is a neat program and I use it all the time. That is part of the problem, I rely on it and don’t memorize them. Not too sure what happened, but it didn’t work and I ended up changing the password. Don’t know what I changed it from.

On the way through Iron Mountain, we intended to drop off Margriet’s computer to see why it would not connect to the wireless system. At the last minute while putting it into the truck, I wondered if the cable connecting the computer might be the problem. The tech checked it while I was there and declared it "toast." We bought a new cable and hope that is the problem. The computer got an extra ride to FISKLAND and will return again soon. Hope that is the problem and not internally in the computer. I am sure the $15.00 is far less than any other repair. We will find out in a couple of days and my Woman will be more than happy again.

We got a later than planned start, thanx to the confuser, so ended up eating at the buffet in Iron Mountain, rather than in Green Bay. Since we had a big meal at noon, we will eat very lightly tonight. It will give me a change to go out and empty the last of the storage unit. If we can get the rest of the truck loaded, we will try to leave after Bible study. If not, early in the day on Wednesday.

We did get a good rain last night at Guds Nordtre. There actually were puddles in the driveway. Hope it will refresh the growth up there. The weather folks have declared the central part of the U.P. is in a mild to moderate drought at the moment. Looks like we may get more rain on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. Hope that comes about. This is early to have the woods this dry and usually it will get dryer as the summer continues. Could be dangerous before the snows come.

Time to get a-going.

In Christ My Saviour,

Chris <><
