What a set back!

Hi all,

I apologize for no updates in June, but here's what happened...my parent's anniversary went nicely, got them some nice gifts, dinner and desert.

Enjoyed my visit to the butterfly garden too, I found a breeder/supplier that sells both butterfly eggs and caterpillars, I plan to order some in August to raise as a nature project.

Anyway...the main reason for my lack of updates is because my three and a half year old laptop's motherboard went out a month ago after I got back from my trip to San Francisco. While the hard drive and a few other parts were salvaged, the rest of it was totaled and beyond repair.

As a result, I've had to use other devices. I do have a replacement laptop coming but it's been on back order and I have no idea when I'll get it. If it doesn't come back in stock I'll have to look elsewhere.

While there is a public library up the street from me, not having my own laptop has become a major handicap. Why? the computers at the library have a tight security system so I can't access my files on the external drive the computer repair shop gave me which contains the hard drive from my laptop. I can't burn CDs or DVDs or print papers.

Anyway...if I have to obtain my laptop from another source, I would need the means to pay the retail price as opposed to a discount that has a payment plan.

I'll more than likely start a crowd funding page, hopefully that'll work, I'll also be selling a few things(laptop parts, writing software, cassette player) whatever I collect will go towards a new laptop if my replacement isn't back in stock.

Until I get a laptop, new updates will be slower.

So sorry.

Thanks for reading.

I'm off to go enjoy the rest of Shark week on Discovery channel.
