At dinner/suppertime last night I overloaded a circuit, knew better, and tripped a breaker in the electric panel. It's also the circuit for my internet equipment. Re-setting the breaker was easy but the router would not reload. Quickly it became apparent that I'm internet dependent. How silly, but true.
Some years ago, as I looked locally in South Dakota for a copy of the Minneapolis paper, it dawned me to subscribe to the online addition. With that subscription I frequently read the Minnesota, and U.S., news in Thailand. A habitual person, the morning paper is a staple. Up at six, Kaia out the front door, breakfast and then a mug of coffee while I read the paper. No internet and the routine is kaput.
At 7:30 I called the internet provider and at 9:30 a technician was at my house. Prompt service for sure and I can resume my habits, dependency or not...so there!
After lunch/dinner it was warm enough to ride a tractor. Riding a tractor I did and planted my corn. The physical test I'd planned wasn't possible. Last year I lifted a 60lb bag of corn unto a six foot tractor fender. "Can I still do that?" I wondered. It remains to be seen because this year a bag of 80,000 kernels (Ed, tells me that's actual count.) was only 45.5lbs. There was no challenge hoisting it to the fender.
Takk for alt,

PS Spotted the first goslings of season. There were three with mom and dad and very small, so newly hatched!
