These Things Happen

 

            Welcome back to another episode of Lost In The Farmers Market or LITFM for short. This episode comes with a bit of bad news; the computer that archives the episodes of this blog and those of the YouTube series and is used to make these episodes and edit the photographs has broken down. It may be a few weeks before I can make repairs because of the normal delay in ordering parts, the cost of the parts in question and it being the holiday season so shipping can be a bit off. Add in that replacing the major part that is broken being a time consuming affair and you have what might be a multi-weed delay.  Two parts on the editing computer broke, firstly the cable going into the monitor is shot, but that's an easy inexpensive fix. The real problem is that the mother board decided to die, and for those who don't know, everything int he computer is plugged in to the motherboard. So I'll have to take out most of the computer's parts just to remove and replace the board. The bright spot is that the board isn’t more than a decade old at this point and new still-in box replacements are available. Unfortunately since I can’t edit photos and all of the photos I was going to post here for this episode are stuck on the disabled machine. Likewise I’m similarly unable to post the four planned holiday special episodes on the YouTube channel because they too are stuck on the disabled computer.I'll improve things in the meanwhile but stay tuned and keep in mind, if you hit up the Fayetteville City Market on the weekends, every purchase at my booth is going towards the repair bill.

 

With all the gloom and doom covered here is what I will have at the farmer's market.
