It's a beautiful day and I ramble about FarmerGPS and nothing

Its a beautiful morning. 

The leaves are turning here in Western Oregon. The sun is coming up over the great white barn and filbert orchards in front of my house and the yard has the golden glow of fall.

I am setting in my easy chair consulting with Microsoft CoPilot as to how much damage I did to my Getac tablet by clicking on the wrong button.

This is a waste of time...

I completely overslept this morning and only crawled out of my stressed zombie sleep state when I heard my wife getting ready for work. 

I woke up at 12 midnight realizing it was mid October and my chances for making substantial farm income were dropping at a high rate. But, I will get hit with a $5,000 tax bill and it will be a $2000 accountant bill to drop the taxes to a payable rate, which means I HAVE to buy something on credit or give money to the gubment. But, I also have to fix a number of things around the house and pay my neighbors for grain and straw which I have sold but NOT COLLECTED THE MONEY FOR...

One of my neighbors called yesterday and wants me to plant 60 acres of wheat at the end of the week which will take care of the money I owe him, but I have also been teased with an annual ryegrass planting job that could be in the hundred acre range. 

The choice is, "we are going to call you when we are ready and then we are going to hammer down," vs "I want to start planting 60 acres Thursday or Friday," and I could move over on Wednesday...

I started the conversation about screwing up my Getac tablet. I have been having problems with FarmerGPS and my tablet. The first issue was actually losing my tablet last winter. It just randomly showed up again, after I bought a spiffy old Getac rugged tablet that runs windows 10 and has a good touch screen.

I kept emailing FarmerGPS with my hardware key so I could get an activation code. I finally decided it was me and not him after going as far as to call him on the phone and interrupt him farming. (Very helpful conversation) So, I set up a Gmail account to which he responds, rather than my local account which doesn't seem to be very reliable.

What I want to do is put set up my Gator sprayer with GPS so I don't have to take the GPS out of my planter tractor when I want to spray. It isn't the physical effort of moving the antenna and computer it is the setup between the two. I can't read the screen on my Motion CL20 tablet without serious magnification. I have the farmerGPS bluetooth boom sensor in the Gator and an extra antenna and wiring harness so the connection is easy but I have to fuss with changing ports and the antennas are not compatible and so I have to mess with computer settings.

What I did... When you get to the registration screen in FarmerGPS program there are a couple buttons side by side. DO NOT accidently or stupidly, or randomly hit "Transfer registration..." This seriously screws things up. Mr. FarmerGPS offered to fix it if I downloaded a remote terminal problem for my tablet but I think this is pushing the bounds of customer support for a program I bought 15 years ago. I think the solution is to sell the Getac and find another one on ebay...

Anyway, this is a boring post. I am going to go to work...

My daughter was so cool before I let the liberals get to her... Found this picture on an old computer

I found this picture on my old farm computer. I need to put a new front tire on and ride this motorcycle. Or sell it...

What three hundred fifty dollars worth of lumber looks like. It looks like 1/2 the price and twice the quality of the crap you get a Lowes.

This is for my loyal reader Art.
Yes I think Donald Trump and Republicans are pretty much idiots. To compare with the Democrats, Republicans take the short buck over the long con. But, at least we don't have that idiot Biden or Kamela or Antifa running the country.
