Toad Going to Hit the Road

Prepping for a few days in Colorado-Denver and Evergreen. Cousin-fest again. I will probably get a few pictures. That is my intention anyway. I think getting away for a few days will be salutary. Chase the blahs away.

One discovery leads to another. The Bluetooth radio connection to my phone for keyboard and GPS had me seeking more information. I found some high-powered Bluetooth adapters for $12.00 apiece and am slowly building a complete network. The adapters slide into a USB port and soon one computer can talk to another one and to the phone, and so on. I have much to learn as there are different "services" that perform different functions. It is an easier way to network machines than a traditional LAN but it also seems to be less comprehensive and more intricate. It is a live and learn world. Now that they can talk, do they have anything to say?

I was just taking a walk and stopped to look closely at the neighbor's vintage Farmall tractor. What prompted the closer look was the hand crank for starting the engine. I looked for a plate but could not find one to tell me how old it is but I am guessing pre-1950. It is a fully functional piece of farm equipment-no air conditioning, cab, TV, but an elegant simplicity. I am sure it had pride of place at one time more than 50 years ago.
