Why no blog postings?

It's been said that we're all in the same canoe. I think that's usually meant that no matter what we think about other people, we still have to take their opinions into account.
I see it a bit differently. I see it as anything that anyone does has a ripple effect on the others. That's what has happened to this blog and why there has been a dearth of postings this early summer.
It started with Microsoft. For no reason that I can see other than to force me into buying another computer, it did away with Windows XP. About the time we left home for camp I was thrust into a new operating system, Windows 8.1. It sucks.
Oh I'm sure that given a few weekends, curled up with the laptop and a warm cup of cocoa I could figure out how to operate it better and probably feel all warm and cozy-like. I'm being facetious here. I'm a camp operator, not a bored person with nothing better to do but push and click all the icons on my screen to see what will happen. I barely have time to sleep, for goodness sake.
To make matters worse, Microsoft Office is utterly different than what I'm used to. I have had e-mails arrive, then disappear. I spend 15 minutes -- an eternity for me right now -- answering an e-mail only to find it won't send anyway. I'm sure the help desk in India would eventually get back to me. Maybe I could read a good book while I'm waiting.
Then there's the Internet itself. It has become as addictive as crack to many people these days. They can't go more than a few hours without checking it and when they check it here, say update their Facebook profile, then I can't get on to write something for the blog. Our internet connection is via our cell phone which must have an external antennae and a signal amplifier just to get a weak signal.
I'm sure we could sink thousands of dollars into a SETI-like bank of satellite dishes and boosters and coaxial cables that would let everyone sit in their cabins and work their tablets, I-phones and Android devices to their hearts' content but frankly, I'm not going there.
There is no way that with all the other things Brenda and I must do that we can keep on top of developments in the virtual world. We're cooking and cleaning and fixing and lifting and stacking and buying and transporting from daylight to dark. When I finally get a chance to fire up the computer, it spends the entire time I had updating itself. It's as if the point of computers is to go on-line and update, not for us to use for some purpose or another.
One thing about working at camp, it certainly makes me see how everything in life is interconnected. When we get a shipment of diesel for our generator that is mixed with a large quantity of water, then I can't post blogs because I spend days and days cleaning out our diesel tank, taking the spoiled fuel back to town, getting new fuel, installing water separating filters, cleaning out our transfer pump, etc.
Well, so much for my rant. I think I feel better.
Anyway, I can bring everybody up to speed in a few sentences: the fishing is great, especially for walleye. All the usual things are working. The weather has been cool but not especially wet. The lake level is more or less normal. Weed growth is absent from the big bodies of water but about usual in the shallow bays. These latter places are where just about all of the fish are being taken.
