Nov 5-Dec 5 Hunting, Thanksgiving and " The Bernina Mystery"

Our first two weeks of deer season was not bad, We saw deer and killed a few. After that the deer got into night mode and we just didn't see any. We still had plenty of night pictures to prove to us there was still deer. We had really good cold weather to hunt. On Thanksgiving we went to the lake house and spent the day. Sammi got to go to Freer Tx with Adam and she killed her first hog and a doe. She was very excited. The biggest thing that happened was Susan started having problems with her Longarm Quilting machine. Some times 3 of her quilting programs would stop working. The owner of the Vintage Owl (where she bought it) came and checked it out. Of course it worked fine when he was here. Later it quit again. I came home and we took it to Silsbee and got a loaner. We didn't get 5 miles down the road when Stephen called and said machine was sewing fine. We turned around and went back to shop. It indeed was working fine. Stephen and I talked about possible issues at home. We got home and machine did indeed work for awhile. Then it stopped working again. I came back home and we took it to Silsbee again and got a loaner. When we got home the loaner did the same thing as Susan's machine. I checked everything that could be causing problems. Stephen thought it might be electrical but I checked everything but no problem found. I finally got a generator and hooked it up and still had the same problems so that ruled out any issue on house power. Finally I asked Susan the right question "What tells the program to start stitching" . She said there were two lights which came on under material ( sensors ). I watched and only one light would come on and sometimes the other would flicker. We took the slider off she was using and the machine started working fine. Problem solved. She had just started using this slider but didn't think that had anything to do with the machine. One more trip to Silsbee to take loaner back and get her machine and everything is great again. Now I can go back to the deer lease and hunt in peace.
