As most of you know, I have quite the handy husband. He can do electrical wire, build computers, and is pretty good in the trouble shooting department. (He also has a really really tall ladder in case you need one of those.) He’s a good guy who doesn’t mind helping people. That may have been his downfall. You see, he has helped about half of our ward with their computers in some way or another, and right now everyone seems to be having computer related issues. There’s the neighbor who’s daughter hooked up a wireless router for her laptop and now nobody’s internet works. They panicked about this as that’s the way they write their missionaries. So, he fixed those issues. Last night it was the friend who’s son downloaded something so that he could play free games, but meanwhile it was sucking resources from their computer. And the list goes on and on and on. Saturday he hooked up a CPU fan for another neighbor, and Sunday they brought us treats! That’s what I call a quick turn around on the thank yous. Not that treats are required, but it sure is nice when people at least offer to pay him or ask what they can do for him in return. I ended up with a great Reflections Slideshow because Ryan fixed Shelly’s computer, and Shelly does powerpoint presentations. Great trade. We’re looking for someone who does stucco work to need their computer fixed, or maybe a landscaper who could give us a deal on some sprinkler work next summer. That would be helpful. But I think he’s feeling a bit bogged down by all the needy people who constantly call and ask him to fix their computers. I don’t know if they realize that thiers are not the only machines he services. He’s working on getting his dad’s new computer to somehow work with ancient windows 98. I personally don’t think it’s going to happen. Oh well, it’s his superpower, and he’s got to (whisper this part) “Save the computer. Save the ward.”
