March 20, 2013

I THINK I NEVER SHOULD HAVE PLOWED LAST NIGHT---   I REMOVED ALL THE SLUSH- THAT HAD IN  PLACES RUTS THAT WERE  6"  DEEP -- SO I PLOWED IT SMOOTH-- AND GUESS WHAT??? IT FROZE-
 
THIS IS ONE TIME WHEN GREAT DANES ARE DANGEROUS--  THEY HAPPILY COME AT YOU LIKE A BIG BOWLING BALL AND DOWN YOU  BOTH  GO IN A HEAP.
 
I CAN TRY AND GET THE TOWN SANDER TO COME IN HERE AND LOOP AROUND-- BUT IN THE MEANTIME- I AM NOT SURE ANYONE CAN EVEN GET UP THE DRIVE BEFORE ANY SUN COMES OUT-- IF YOU DO... COME IN THRU THE GARAGE AND GET ON ALL THE  ICE WALKER THINGS WE HAVE BEFORE TRYING TO GET NEAR THE DEAGLE HOUSE...
 
THE TRACTOR IS FACING OUT IN THE GARAGE   BYT I CAN'T EVEN GET DOWN THAT HILL WITHOUT SLIDING SIDEWAYS-- WHICH ALSO WOULD SUGGEST IF YOU DO GET THIS FAR--- DO NOT PARK OPPOSITE THE GARAGE....  I HAVE SLID OFF THE HILL INTO THAT PARKING PLACE MORE THAN ONCE.  THERE IS A BIG PILE OF SNOW WHICH STOPS ME FROM LANDING IN TH EFLAT FIELD.
 
I DID NOT "DE-RUTT" DOWN TO THE BARN-- SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHAPE THAT IS IN..
 
FROM VISUAL ONLY-- IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAD ANOTHER INCH  OF SNOW ON TOP OF MY PLOW JOB-- SO IT MAY NOT BE GLARE ICE--
BUT I HAD PLANNED ON RAIN AND 33 DEGREES TEMP
 
DID NOT HAPPEN.
 
THE ROADS ARE WORSE THAN USUAL-- SPECULATION IS THAT  THE TOWNS HAVE RUN OUT OF  PLOWING BUDGET---  BECAUSE  THERE IS A DIFFERENCE WITH THIS STORM.
 
PEOPLE WITH WRECKERS ARE THE ONLY ONES SMILING.
 
****************************
 
BOB'S VIDEO OF THE SUNSHINE HAS BEEN HUGELY SUCCESSFUL-- NOW MY PERSONAL GOAL IS TO HAVE A WEEKLY VIDEO  VERSION OF THE DAILY DOGGIE.- NOT OVER LOADED WITH FACTS..
 
BUT FIRST  I HAVE TO  DO A BETTER JOB AT UNDERSTANDING  THESE 2 CAMERAS--  THE GO PRO IS PERFECT ON A DOG'S HEAD-- OR MARY'S BACK.-- THE DISTORSION LOOKS GOOD.....  I THINK THE EXTRA EXPLORE CAMERA WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT THE DISTORSION IN OTHER CASES..
PLUS IT HAS  A SCREEN SO THAT EGVERY VIDEO DOES NOT HAVE TO START WITH A VIEW OF MY NOSTRILS.
 
 
IT IS IN PROCESS.( ?PROGRESS OR PROCESS???)
**************************
YESTERDAY WAS THE 19TH-- AND WE DID CELEBRATE CHARLIE'S BIRHDAY-- THERE ARE 2 CHARLIE'S ACTUALLY--  CHARLIE ANNENBERG FROM EXPLORE----- AND CHARLIE DAWG  - WHO IS WUITH STEVE.-- IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY TOO.
 
FOR CHARLIE  WE SENT THE EXPLORE OFFICE A PHOTO OF THE ONLY CANDLE I COULD FIND (6 INCHES)  GLUED TO THE TOP OF A CAN OF DOG FOOD  AND LIT...- WITH A HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIGN LEANING AGAINST OLIVER..
 
  IT WAS VERY TOUCHING...
 
*************
TODAY  IF WILLIAN AMD KITTY CAN GET HERE WE ARE GONIG TO BRAINSTORM THE 2014 CAKLENDAR-- WE HAVE SOME TERRIFFIC IDEAS WHICH I THINK WE CAN PULL OFF.
 
WEATHER PERMITTING WE MAY TRY WALTER AND BAILEY IN SOME FRESH SNOW WITH THEIR HEADS DOWN IN IT-- MIGHT BE A GOOD PUZZLE SHOT IF NOT A CALENDAR ONE.
 
*********************
THE PUZZLESS-- WE NEED TO RESOLVE THAT -- I KNOW SHELIA WAS DEALING--- AND SOMEONE ELSE GOT SOME SENT TO US-- AND I FOGGET WHO( I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE PROJECT TO THERESA'S MEMORYU-- NOT MINE)
 
*********************
SHELIA IS DEALING WITH A  HUSBAND WHO HAD 2 KNEES REPLACED AT ONCE...-  6 MONTHS FROM NOW  ---THE DETAILS MAY BE AMUSING  BUT AT  THE MOMENT---- THEY ARE NOT. --- INCLUDING THINGS LIKE A REHAB HOSPITAL WHICH IS NOT UP TO PARR ON MEDICAL TREATMENTS...AND A NEW ROOMMATE WITH INTESTINAL PROBLEMS....
AT ANY RATE -- HE WANTS OUT--- AND THE PLAN TODAY IS GET HIM IN A TRUCK AND GO HOME.
 
THEY APPARENTLY PRACTICED GETTING  HIM AND HIS LEGS IN THE TRUCK YESTERDAY....
I OFFERED THEM OUR COA VAN WHICH HAS THE WHEELCHAIR LIFT.
 
THEY WOULD HAVE TO WIAT TIL WE CAN  SLIDE IT OUT THE DRIVEWAY.  IF THAT DOESN'T WORK-- THERE IS ALWAYS THE HORSE TRAILER.-
 
- ACTUALLY--- THEY OWN A COMPANY WHICH HAS SEVERAL BOX TRUCKS---- MIGHT BE A BETTER WAY FOR HIS SORE KNEES TO GO...
 
SHELIA IS THE ONE WITH SEVERAL PARALIZED DOGS WITH WHEELS FOR THIER HIND END..
SO SHE HAS  THE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO DEAL.....
*****************
I HAVE A PEQUILIAR FYI...
 
I GOT SOME OMAHA STEAKS A WHILE AGO AND THOUGHT MAYBE THE PORTIONED FROZEN SIZE MIGHT CUT DOWN ON MY  FOOD- NOT WASTED-- BUT FED TO THE CHICKENS...
 
IT WAS WIERD.....
 
I HAVE BEEN RECIEVING (?DAILY?) FLYERS IN THE MAIL-- SO I PUT TOGETHER AN ORDER-- ON PAPER WITH PRICES- AND DECIDED TO DO IT ONLINE...  INSTEAD OF TYPING IN THE SKU'S, I CLICKED "BAKED POTATOES" OR WHATEVER-- AND I NOTICED A FEW $$ DIFFERENCE IN PRICE FROM MY "FLYER"   SO I CALLED AND THE PERSON SAID THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN PRICE BECAUSE OF A DIFFERENCE IN THE SKU ENTERED... WAS IT THE SAME PRODUCT??  YES.--  TURNED OUT EVERYTHING  I ASKED FOR WAS UP TO $5 LESS IF I STUCK TO MY GUNS AND ASKED THEM TO FIND THE LEAST PRICE.
 
THEY DID THAT.. AND  GIFTED ME THE  2 POUND HAM PROMISED ON THE  FLYER.
 
THEN  SHIPPING WAS $24 ----  BUT IF  I ORDERED A MANGERS SPEC ( OF 6 STEAKS AND A FEW OTHER THINGS) FOR $39.00  SHIPPING WOULD  BE    FREE-----SO FOR $15.00 I GOT  A GOOD SIZE COMBO..
 
THEN IT CAME TO THE-- IT WILL BE THERE MONDAY--- I ASKED ( HOLDING MY BREATH ) WHAT IT WOULD COST TO HAVE IT DELIVERED ON SATURDAY   -- THAT WAS NOT $30 MORE----   BUT ONLY $5 MORE.
 
SO THIER PRICING IN GENERAL IS STRANGE - AT LEAST TO ME.  SO BE CAREFUL... 
 I LIKE THEIR PRODUCTS   -
 BUT DON'T ORDER FROM THEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A CALCULATOR RIGHT NEXT TO TH E PHONE...
 
***********************
3 THINGS RUNNING CONCURRENTLY  AND WAITING A FINAL RESULT....
 
THE PINK ENVELOPES
THE KURANDA BEDS
AND THE CHICKEN SH#T NUMBERS
 
TO BE CONTINUED

*I WILL NOW HAVE MY DAILY BATTLE WITH VARIUS CAMERAS...AND MEMORY CARDS-
