PorterHouse!  How can you be so unfeeling Becky?  It is to be hoped that you will decide, when judgment day comes, that * Buttercup will be much too tough!
I came in from the garden a couple of days ago:  remember that I live in New Zealand, so, according to the Southern Hemisphere seasonal calendar, we have just crossed the border from spring to summer: and found that 2K, my 18-year-old cat had hurled one of my computer speakers to the floor, and it had sustained some major internal injuries.
Now, 2K has been walking around on my computer desk for years and has never, as little as  nocked a speaker over, let alone to the floor;  was she telling me something?  such as, in her, indisputable opinion, I spenht way to much time in front of this box of chips, with, perchance, the occasional fish or two in there as well?  
Anyway, she could, scarcely, have chosen a more inconvenient time of the year to get it going again, but when has a cat ever been bothered about the convenience of the staff?   !
I did find a store that had speakers of the same make, but of a more recent vintage than the dinosaurs I took in as an example of what I needed.
I got them home and then found that there seemed to be no power cord with them.
I, eventually, found it but it was separate from the speaker box and was just in a little plastic bag in my shopping trolley.
I suspect that the power cord is sold separately as many computer users would, already have acord of this type at home;  therefore, would not need another one, so if they didn't and did, they could buy it!
I got the speakers and power cord lined up and ready for action, but still no speech came forth.
I knew that the speakers were alive as, if I disconnected them from the CPU and touched the point of the jack on anything, I could hear it coming through them , so there was still something amiss.
this was, as I discovered, that, 2K, thinking that, merely, killing the speaker may not have been enough, had stepped on the microphone key on the keyboard, thus turning it off!
As you see, I have foiled her for the present, but I mustn't let this minor victory go to my head!

Hi Everyone! 
I’m loving that we are getting a few messages out there! 

Here in Arizona, we are having a fairly mild winter. Too dry, as we rely heavily on winter rains and mountain snow.

I don’t have goats now. Sure miss them. I’m too busy and travel too much to do justice to a herd of goats. They are more than livestock at my house.

I’m dealing with a new puppy/dog. I love her but am anxious to get her trained. She’s an Australian Shepherd who is easily bored. For a week, my front yard was ‘snowy’ thanks to two pillows and a puppy 🤣 she licks everyone, so her name is Whisky Girl, cuz she can’t hold her licker!

I’m busy running my beauty shop, visiting children and grandchildren, and planning a wedding for my oldest son, David.

My daughter, Charlotte, has remarried, gotten a better job and getting on with life. My youngest, Nathan, has been in the Air Force for four years now, unmarried, still looking. Most likely make it a career. Just ranked up to Staff Sergeant I think. 

My husband Ben is still alfalfa farming, celebrated his 75th birthday, refusing to go down without a fight.

I am over 60 now, working full time at the shop and working with our new boutique. last year I survived a heart attack, then an episode with ventricular arrhythmia. So far all reports are good.

We have two old horses, one cow and steer named Porterhouse, one farm cat, two dogs, four more cats, and a dwindling flock of chickens. 

Nope, not bored around here.

Please keep up with the posts, I love hearing your tales.
