If I don't blog much for awhile, you will soon realize why!!! Here is a picture of me using the internet, notice I am outside, this may be a luxury at times, but it quickly looses it's novelty when it becomes your only option. We used to be able to get connection inside our house using an antennae, for some reason it no longer works. Now, not only do I have to be outside, but I also have to hold the phone up to get reception. This limits the speed at which I can type.
We think it might be the phone since even with a good connection it's as slow as molasses to use the internet.
Chad has been clearing some brush, hoping to get line of sight to a neighbor that is not quite so booney as we are. He hopes to use a repeater to send his high speed internet to our house. If that happens, I hope to blog a lot more often. I have plenty to share but not the time to spare. I have been on for 21 minutes and so far this is all I've typed, plus uploading one picture. I only do one at a time, because if I run out of time, at least I can save and add more later.
By the way, I love being so secluded, it's worth slow connections to have the privacy we have. So I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, I should be happy with what we have, I'm just trying to let you know why I don't post as often as some others of you out there. Even right now I have several other posts in my head, but can only do one at a time.
Right now I am trying to load picture #2. Got kicked off, now am trying again. Chad thinks we may have jumped between towers. We are driving to Ohio, 8 1/2 glorious hours to play on the computer. So what if it takes 30 minutes to upload a picture, I've got the time. :)
Here is the Plattner version of High-Speed Internet. Not the high speed that generally comes to mind, it's our only version. It means taking the laptop in the van and using the internet while driving 65 mph down the interstate. :)
O.K. I guess that's enough on this topic for awhile. Have a great weekend!
