So far, so good. I haven't lost network connection.

WooHoo! Organic feed is SO hard to find around here! I'll have to stop by there when we stop by for our visit next week.

Okay, now for the big test. Posting photos.
No new photos for now, so, here's for you, @Southern by choice. My Maine Coon Chilling out . . .


Here he is playing . . .


Porter is my love sponge.

It's still working!!!

Well, internet connectivity is intermittent.

Sometimes I am able to read several threads and just when I get engrossed (@Southern by choice - your kidding thread is awesome - very educational!) I will lose connection with my server. Right now I can't get the emoticons to show up, and can't get this post to go to my journal. So, am hoping this is not coming across with a "flat affect". LOL!!! It is packed with emotion.

Anyway, I'm not complaining, it is a great improvement over BNR (Before New Router). FYI, for those who used to be on "cable internet", aka underground cable, to "satellite internet" aka with a satellite/wifi connection, I was using my cable internet router by MediaLink, and at the suggestion of a tech support person at Exede Satellite, we bought a "NETGEAR N750 Dual Band Gigabit Router (WNDR3700), and that has made a noticeable difference.

NASTY WEATHER
We have been having repeated nasty weather patterns this past couple weeks. We have gone from rain to ice to snow to rain to overcast/fog to rain, rain and more rain.

Today, it has been raining, at times very hard, all day. When we went out to feed the animals it was pouring and there were puddles everywhere. The dogs are soaking wet and covered with mud. On our way back to the house we could hear thunder. It is dark now, but I can hear the trees being blown in the high winds. On the news, tonight, they said the windchill is 24 degrees, but I think it is lower, because the wind speed has gone way up since the 6:00 news.

So, here are some pics of the nastiness!!! Snow, from last week first, then the rain today. UGH!!!!! Some sunshine would be nice! This is depressing!

When it rains heavily, we end up with puddles in the pen. To drain the puddles to outside the fence line, we dug trenches, which look like little streams. This is one of those after the snow.



Soggy Wednesday!

This one is the front yard, outside the office window. It's a swamp out there!

I'm with you on the ugh! Weather! I want to go outside and play and all it's done since we got here is rain, ice, rain, snow and rain and ice some more! I got fence to build!
