Where does the time go to.....I can’t believe we will be heading back to Indiana in just a few more days. Yesterday was spent at the downtown farmer’s market. We picked up some fresh produce and had are usual burritos at the little taco stand there. They are very good and I have not found any more of those “hot ” spots like I did the first time I ate one---my lips and mouth are very happy about that! After the market, we headed back to the fiver. DH’s part for our overhead fan in the kitchen arrived. The part is to replace the one he broke when he was cleaning the fan some time back. He got everything put back together, after a few !@#$%! Unfortunately something is still not right. We think it is in the circuit board. The remote will not function and yes we put in new batteries and re programed---no luck. He sometimes can get the lid to open off the remote, but the fan won’t do any thing but High speed. Mostly it just won’t do anything..........it is still under warranty so we will have the service center check in out back in Elkhart.

Today, after breakfast I took the dogs out for their walk in the sand lot. Unfortunately, the farmers were out working the field so we didn’t get much walk time in---just under a mile. The furballs enjoyed it though and seemed to be ready to nap back at the fiver.

DH was at the computer trying to figure out what he needed to do to put Internet Explorer on the computer. According to South Dakota’s new vehicle registration site, Explorer was the only browser that would allow you access to the site. We are mac folks and explorer no longer supports mac platform. I hate explorer anyway! I use firefox so I pulled up the registration site and was able to renew the truck plates--no problems. For some reason, however, it would not allow me access to our fifth wheel plates. It kept telling me that they were unavailable for renewal. Well, I gave alternative resources a call to see if anyone else was having this problem---they said not as far as they knew. Anyway, long story short, I got a hold of the registration folks in SD. They had me email them a “picture” of the screen on their website that was denying me the registration renewal. They will email me with a resolution as soon as they figure out what is wrong. I did not tell them I was using Firefox, but since I successfully renewed our truck plates I’m pretty sure the problem is theirs not mine---we will see.....I do have a new laptop which is capable of the whole “pc” thing, but I don’t want to go there if I don’t have too!!!

Wow, my brain hurt after all that! I did a little more sewing, some reading--started a new Stephen King Novel called ‘Dreamcatcher’---and before ya know it is time for a little telly and than off to bed...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
