September 28

Got us another load of rock delivered yesterday morning. Dale brought his loader to place the rock where it was needed while Glenda and I used the shovels and rakes. I've watched a lot of operators in my time and never did really give much thought to their skills. In a very tentative manner, I did use Dale's loader while he was gone last week. Because of that experience I paid a lot of attention to his operating. So easy without missing a beat, poetry in motion. He makes it look so easy I found myself wondering if my coordination has slipped away from me along with the years. I can still hit a nail on the head without hardly a miss............hmm, go figure.

Go figure this! For the third day in a row the computer has caused a negative beginning. Well, I'm not too far into the day when I turn the computer on. Anyway this morning it told me that due to some possible corruption or maybe it was contaminated files my profile would not open. Instead it would allow me to only go on as a temporary user. When I tried to go to my inbox I was told that I had none and would need to set one up. I finally got into system restore and moved it all back to Saturday. Walla! Here we are! It is still with a problem I believe and today is a scan, and clean up day. Stupid as it might sound, after it got to working yesterday I went to work outside and didn't go in to save a thing to disk.

I've tried to retrieve our emails this morning and couldn't connect to our server tho we're on line so you may not get this sick note for a day or two.

Rather than possibly waste any of my limited typing skills I'm ending here. Hey! Spell check only found one word misspelled.
