WELL POOT!!! My wife recently cracked a bone in her foot & has been relegated to being on the couch with it elevated a LOT.. She has a Kindle, but wanted the Fire, so we went & got one a few days ago. Man, she Loves that thing,, Heck, I like it, too. I dont read books on it, I listen to late nite radio, Noory is all Ive listened to, but Im hunting something else.. Since they fired John B well ( a victim of his own success, IMO) I dont like it as much. I liked Wells better,, & since they fired him, I like Noory that much less.. Anyway, that thing is amazing. Surf th innerwebs, do anything except make a phone call,, its like a smartphone, only bigger, except ya gotta be where a link exists, doesnt work off of cell towers. Im not a tech lover, in that Im a bit of a luddite. Im not good at knowing how to use cell phones ( I can reply to a text, but have no idea about how to initiate one), I can make a call or answer one, so, whoopie! But for me to do what OF does? Look at something & figure out why its not doing what its sposed to do? Ohh,, not happnin,, I MIGHT figure out the memory is full, but how to sweep some of it out? Not me, folks,, not me..
NOW,, what I can do is solve problems in areas where the problem is visible & the answer is to build a tool to address it. WE bought a little planter for the garden,, but the soil wasnt flat. Every time it rolled up a little hill it lifted the part that drops the seed out of the dirt & when it crested the hill it dug in, stopping it & planting too deep. Sooo,, I got 2 bed frames & some 2&7/8ths pipe & built a gizmo about 30 inches, front to back & about 50" wide, the bed frame angle iron angled from a V point in front with 2 more parallel to that Middle V's arms & theyre tilted to slice into the soil a little. I put a leg with a foot on it at the rear to keep the front down & built it so the tie on to pull it is down low in front, to keep it from submarining.. It worked on the first pass! It left some ridges so I took another piece of the angle & put it on one of the boards I use to get the back hoe out of the mud & pulled it & Violas! Its Smooove & flat! Now I just gotta get my tail out there & plant,, but IM pooped from the last 2 days..
