All Hail the Olympics

It seems the opening of the Olympics was a spectacle to behold-at least the Internet tells me so.Since the advent of digital TV, NBC doesn't reach the heart of the reservation. Similarly, the Web  connection is marginal. I sent back the Samsung unopened as I discovered that instead of  replacing the WiFi device that  wasn't usable, they upgraded my most ancient cell phone for two years. I am going to drop some lines under the new plan. When they were $10.00 apiece it was one thing. Now it is another. By waiting until October, I can make some economies.

The weather has been perfect. Occasionally I have to layer up due to coolness. It is also cozy to put my blanket up to cover my shoulders when I go to bed. Buddy is a snuggler and we warm each other. Honey is on semi-duty-on the back porch barking through the night when alerting. She joins us late in the night. I am sleeping well though I ran a deficit this week and slept most of the 26th away-seems it was a prelude to a bug which has thankfully gone on its way.

With the irrigation waters come the mosquitos. I am going to fog today because the evenings are ruined by them.

I am making decent progress on the dunging out. Not spectacular, but steady. I at least have a vision of how I would like it to turn out.

Two or three times a week I venture to town. I coordinate my time to take advantage of the Senior early bird special at Archer's buffet. I can round out my diet with green stuff and other varieties for $6.37. Haven't been to the Casino for my freebies yet. I will start this Tuesday.  Mr Brown and Ms. Friday from the tribe were here to get my approval of the new road. As they will spare all the trees on my side of the fence, I said "go for it."
