So typical of me

For the past several weeks, my Mac Mini has been losing Internet connection.  At first it was a minor inconvenience, but then it started happening with greater frequency.  I'd be in the middle of a blog entry... wham, lost connection.  Half a dozen times daily, and more, I'd have to reboot to regain my connection and then sometimes it only lasted a little while.  Since the Ipad had no connection issues, nor did Cliff's laptop, I figured it was a problem having to do with an Apple computer (yes, I realize the Ipad is also an Apple product).  

I did some Google searching and found solutions I really didn't understand, but somewhere in there somebody suggested unhooking the modem for thirty seconds.  

"That couldn't possibly help," I mumbled, "because Cliff's computer is having no problems.  How can it be a modem problem?"  

About this same time, it occurred to me that perhaps I was simply having a computer problem that might be happening even if I was using a PC, and decided to stop blaming Apple.  

And I unhooked from the modem for thirty seconds.

I'm sure you've guessed it:  My Internet connection is once again trustworthy.  I'm always overlooking the obvious when it comes to computer problems. 

 I am picturing my daughter nodding in agreement at this point.

In a recent entry I shared this picture, taken at a tractor swap meet, wondering what this implement could be.  One of my Tractor Tales buddies emailed me (since he can't comment on my blog) to tell me it's a telegraph spoon.
Thanks, Dennis!
