Internet Issues.

 Internet Issues.

 

Maybe the heat has melted something in my internet connections. Know the bill has been paid! That stuff does not come cheaply. But for some reason the lights on the little white box come up and go down and up a little longer—it must be thinking about it. But no internet. May have to let Jenn do something on the blog tonight. Like say hello from the roasting part of the world! Can’t believe this heat! Well, unless walking outside. Then it is very believable!

 

Had intended to look online to see if there were any grants available for volunteer fire departments. Know that these locally are having to replace brake lines, axles, and various other parts that blow out. They all probably need another pumper truck for extra water. It’s not like the stock tanks can give them any.

 

Looking for grants is not the simplest task. Having to meet the requirements of matching funds might be the biggest drawback. Fund raisers hardly ever take care of more than the bare necessities. But found one that might work.

May just have to keep looking for other ways to get some kind of grant. Sent a message to my insurance agent, and he promised to talk to some other agents to see if they could come up with some kind of insurance that would replace and repair things on the trucks. Even that might help somewhat.

 

It is just a bit much to even move around today. Where is that hibernation gene when you need it? Even a half gallon of water a day is not helping. Poor hens just hardly venture out from under the deck. They sit up on their roosts and just pant at night. Gave them some grapes Patty had that had been around a while. Then today they had some cooked broccoli. It was decent, but it just did not hit the spot for me. The smell was stronger than my desire to eat.

 

Lance sent this today: “I never called you stupid, but when I asked you to spell “orange” and you asked me the fruit or color, it kinda caught me off guard.” That one was a little funny, but not nearly as good as the straw pushed through the coke lid.

 

Will you pardon me if you’re told that it is too hot to think? It is just about enough to feel as if the grey cells might be turning black after being roasted, don’t you see.

 

Praise God that eventually we will get some cooler weather and maybe even enough rain to fill the lakes. Right now it feels like a renewed vision of the last five-year drought. Sorry to be so pessimistic.

 

Rest well, stay hydrated, and find joy in the life God has given us. You are loved.
