Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Thanks wngsprd I will look into it! Oh, now I have to find that thread on rural internet for $20 from AT&T that connects to a vehicle but with an adapter can get power from 110.

At&t already killed that deal.

Good evening all. 54F at the start, overcast light wind. Wind only increased to moderate today, sky overcast most of the day, and high temp only made to 64F. Choir practice this morning, followed by bike ride. Today was Mrs Gas birthday, so wrapped her present while she napped, then gave it to her, a Keurig coffee maker.

Thanks for all the suggestion on the computer device. Like Ron said the internet connection will determine a lot. $60 a month for wifi or $? for phone connection to a pad. The iPhones are too small for her and the screens too sensitive. Need to make a call to AT&T to check on internet service for a pad.

Don, I suspect least expensive may be to add to your account, that’s what we did.

If you have AT&T Unlimited there is a new hotspot option, Netgear Nighthawk.

Happy birthday Ms Gas

At&t already killed that deal.

Not totally killed if you have a Mobley, but harder to do. Finding a Mobley is hard.

My Mobley account says it is eligible for Upgrade, so I just did that. $49 for Netgear Nighthawk Hotspot, 2 year contract using my Mobley line. Haven’t got it yet so maybe some unknown glitches to report, otherwise my $20/month unlimited Mobley plan transfer to a much more capable device

Does anyone have elderly friends or relatives that are not computer/smartphone savvy but have a basic device - tablet, pad, or laptop. I'm looking for a device that my Mom can communicate via e-mail, news, weather and simple large icons, but very, very basic and preferably on sale on black Friday.

Don, whatever device you get, consider showing your mum how to do just one thing well first, as she may find it confusing to take it all in at once and then be reluctant to use it. You can then show her a little more each time you visit and build up her confidence in trying new things.

Good morning, a rainbow was sliding slowly across the sky as I waited for this laptop to boot up. Despite the operating system being in solid state memory, microsoft sometimes slow it down to the point that almost takes me back to the days of floppy disc drives. Now it's running, I can see a fast approaching wall of yellow on the radar map that leaves no doubt that this is the last sign we are going to see of the sun for quite a few hours.

The strangest thing about dreams has got to be not what goes on inside them, but the fact that you just don't realise you are dreaming until you wake up. I woke this morning thinking I had been shot because I hadn't waited for a crazy guy dressed like Ned Kelley to empty his magazine before I attempted to find a weak point in his body armour. You can guess the story that was on the news as I slowly came to, then realised that what for me is only the stuff of nightmares will for some, occupy your daytime thoughts too, however unlikely such an event will be.

Got to leave plenty of time to appreciate all the good things in life too. I am certain to get a good soaking while I go check on the sheep, though I often find walking in the rain quite exhilarating and tend to appreciate my breakfast, complete with a steaming mug of tea, far more when I get back. Hope everyone finds at least one little thing that they enjoy doing today.

52 and dropping all day, so will be in 40s all day, and rain comes about 7am.

Eric, I like a walk in the rain, too. How's that rain jacket working? I forgot the name, but remember looking it up when you talked about it a while back.

Election day here, governor and other state positions. So I'll be driving over to the elementary school where all 3 of my boys attended to vote. Brings back memories.

Roy, hope you're feeling better.

CWB, hope you find an elk.

Randy, still think about you often. It must be tough. Drew and others already went through this.
