Makuma Server--One More Time

I think I said a week or so ago that the Makuma server was working. But it's been an uphill battle since then I had everything brought back in, server and radio system. At that point we decided the radio had been damaged also. Once we sent the server out with a new radio, it took a bit more time to get things straightened out, and now it's working. That is such a relief, and now I can concentrate on other things again. That is good news. However, the thunderstorms continue in the Oriente, and I hope and pray we don't lose any more equipment. I know Lois in Makuma is glad to be in regular communication again, as she has a son-in-law in the US military who is over in the Middle East. One problem they are still fighting out in Makuma is one of electricity. The hydroelectric plant isn't working 24 hours a day, so some days they only connect for e-mail three or four times a day. But that certainly is better than nothing!
