March 10, 2013


heave onward..  with great purpose.
i will learn the new explore system
i will... i will..
 
especially if that 8 year old kid comes here today to explain it to me.
 
the problem with being old,... well one of them... if i have lost whatever short term memory i  had....
so faced with a new system i do what i think is logically correct---
when that does not work, i sit back and think what i would logically do
and i try that
unfortunately it is very often the thing i already tried-- but having no memory i keep doing the same thing over and over.
 
i can not imaging how this is the slightest bit  interesting.. except for those trying the same thing..
 
i try a new  sign in name and password.. then i do something wrong which causes me to have to start again.. so i enter my name and password and i get "sorry that name is taken"   which is me--  and the program  is  not set up to deal with that situation-- therefore that entire system is now out of my realm of possibility.
 
but i will try again today.
 
i was very hopeful-- courtney sent me a bulletted list of   one liners-- and i
hopefully printed it out  the 4 pages thinking those were instructions.
. no-- THA WAS ACTUALLY AN INDEX OF topics to click on and each one is a 6 page tirade.
 
******************
that new system is by far the biggest and most  time consuming project of the day.

 the other news?
 
jim the beef guy came in and we discussed the on coming warm weather when our current system of coolers and freezers will not work
 
it boils down to setting up a system of grinding beef on Sunday morning..  last week we had a great team -- jack and  ?? steve??   it took them less than 2 hours to do 20 boxes.. - we need to perfect that team and see if we can get them weekly.
jim can deliver it semi thawed too..  so it gets to be a science of freezers, coolers, moving blankets and ambient tempature,.
******************
 
for those coming today for Sunday stew-- we will be in the t-tent  today  - which is surrounded by a moat of muddy water  -- so hip boots are recommended.
 
we even have  THE POT--  CLEANED AND READY TO GO...SO IT MAY BE OUR FIRST PROPER STEW OF THE SUMMER.
 
NOW BACK TO THE EXPLORE COMMENTS
 
I FEEL LIKE THAT LITTLE ENGINE THAT TRIED
I WISH I COULD- I WISHICOULD---I WISHICOULD --IWISHICOULD--IWISHICOULD
