Well folks – the fates are conspiring against me completing this week’s post. Power is down again in my area, and still have no internet connectivity.

I hope to get this week’s post up as soon as I’m totally connected again, but right now I’m kind of sunk.

Thanks for everyone’s understanding.

My wife is currently spinning her loom, my oldest son is waking up early tomorrow to plant the corn, my middle son will fetch water from our well, and my daughter preparing to put on her petticoat and look cute.

As for me, tomorrow I will go to my workshop and figure out how to invent a light source and the internet without electricity so that I can post in a timely fashion.

I love living in 1878.
