I JUST HAD TO BUY A SHEWEE-- ( SEE YESTERDAYS'S WOMAN'S URINIAL STORY)
BEING ONE OF THE ORIGIONAL INVENTORS I HAD TO SPEND THE $18 OUT OF
CURIOSITY..
THERE IS ALSO SOME $18 LESSON TO BE LEARNED-- BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT
IS EXCEPT MAYBE "SHE WHO HESITATES IS LOST???"
I COULD HAVE DOZENS OF PATENTS BY NOW-- EXCEPT I HAVE NO FAITH IN TH E
PROCESS... MY FATHER INVENTED THE RAMP YOU SEE ON ALMOST EVERY TRUCK TOWING A
TRAILER WITH A BACK HOE-- I HAVE THE ORIGIONAL PATENT FOR THAT ON THE WALL
SOMEWHERE--- 1945--- IF I HAD A PENNY FOR EVERY RAMP I SEE I WOUD BE EXTREMEMLY
WEALTHY.
IT IS A RIGHT ANGLE THAT FLIPS DOWN TO MAKE A VERY STURDY RAMP...
SOME COMPANY CHANGED THE TYPE HINDGE AND BROKE THE PATENT RIGHTS SO FATHER
NEVER GOT MUCH MORE THAN EXP[ENSES OUT OF THE PATENT PROCESS.
SO I BETTER STICK TO DOG TRAINING.
****************
PAUL GETS THE GENU\IUS OF THE DAY AWARD FOR
YESTERDAY.
SEEMS LIKE SOME DANM FOOL'S ( ME) VERSION OF DIG SAFE IS TO TURN OFF ALL
THEH BREAKERS AND DIG ANYWAY.
THERE ARE SO AMNY WIRES AROUND HERE FROM 30 YEARS OF "FER NOW"
APPLICATIONS..
YESTERDAY STANDING LOOKING IN T HE HOLE I WAS DIGGING WHERE I HAD PULLED UP
A WIRE, IT THEN BECAME-- WHICH END IS LIVE? I.E. DOES THE "FEED" GO TO THE
POST-- THEN THE CHICKEN COOP-- THEN THE T TENT- OR T TENT, POST THEN COOP--
OF EVEN POST T TENT THEN COOP...
A LIFE THREATENING LOGIC PROBLEM..
WHICH PAUL FIXED
WHICH IS WHY THE HOUSE CAMERA WS OFF MOST OF THE DAY.
IT ALSO DEFINED THE PROBLEM OF WHERE TO LOOK WHEN THE HOUSE CAMERA GOES
OFF.
ANYWAY HE FIXED IT WTH ANOTHER FER NOW -- BECAUSE JEFF IS COMING THE DAY
AFTER LABOR DAY TO PUT IN A PROPER CONDUIT FOR A PROPER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO
THE T TENT..
ALSO SINCE I PULLED UP THE WIRE-- IT IS KAPUT COMPLETELY..
*****************
SO THE HOLES FOR THE 3 POSTS ARE DUG AND PIECES OF STRING FROM MY MONKEY
FIST DEPARTMENT ARE STRUNG WAITING FOR SOMEONE ?SHELIA? ?MEGAN? TO APPEAR
TODAY TO SLIDE THE POSTS IN PLACE AND TIE UP WITH THE STRING SO WE CAN SET
CONCRETE.
A 150 POUND POST CAN BE HELD IN PLACE WITH DENTAL FLOSS AS LONG AS IT IS
PERPENDICULAR.. ALL THE WEIGHT IS ON THE BOTTOM.. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET THE
BOTTOM IN THE RIGHT PLACE, ADD STONES AND A BAGO OF CONCREETE AND WE SHOUJLD
HAVE ANOTHER 10 FEET OF T TENT FOR THE 2 NEW TABLES... COVERED WITH A TARP
"FERNOW"
*************
AND THEN THE REALLY BIG NEWS -- TOWER OF HOPE IS GOING TO SPONSER 3
GRADUATES BECKY-- JIM -- AND MAUREEN- THIS WILL ENABLE US TO TRY AND FIND/
HIRE ANOTHER ASSISTANT TRAINER-- NOT GOING TO BE EASY-- BECAUSE WE TRAIN
DIFFERENTLY THAN THE USUAL CLICKER FANCY WORD BUNCH.
I WOULD LOVE TO INTERVIEW ANYONE WITH A WELL BEHAVED
DOG THAT IS MY CRITERIA FOR BEING A TRAINER...
MARIA -- MEGAQN-- AND I ALL AGREE THE NEXT BEST WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT
ARE DEVLIN AND LAURA -- WHO UNFORTUNATELY ARE 13 YEARS OLD AND HAVE TO GO TO
SCHOOL. -
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO'S DOGS ARE PERFECT- AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE YOU
WOULD THINK WOULD HAVE PERFECT DOGS- AND DON'T.
ANN GETCHELL IS ONE-- SHE HAS - AT ANY MOMENT 3 TO 7 DOGS WHO ARE HAPPY
BOUNCY DOG S-- SHE WAS THRILLED TO SHOW ME SHE HAD TRAINED ONE TO SIT FOR A
COOKIE. LOVE HER DEARLY -- BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT WE NEED TO HIRE FOR A
TRAINER... THERE IS ONE OUT OF THE HORSE WORLD - GAIL WONG - I BORROWED HER
DOG FOR A COMMERDCIAL ONCE--GAIL NEVER SAYS MUCH TO HER DOG AND IT BEHAVED
PERRFECTLY. BUT GAIL IS MY AGE--- WE NEED SOMEONE YOUNGER WHO CAN ALSO PICK UP
THE SLACK OF GROUNDS KEEPER TYPE HELP TOO.
SO KEEP YOU EYES OPEN----
MUST HAVE PERFECT DOG -
AND PREFERABLY NEVER READ A BOOK ON DOG TRQAINING.
******************
AND THEN THERE IS THE COMPUTER-- WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DONATION TO REPLACE
THIS THING WHICH UPSETS ME EVERY MORNING-- AND IS SOOOOOO SLOW. AND
ORNERY.
MARIA IS A COMPUTER GURU AND SHE HAS DECIDED WHICH TO GET...-
THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW HWERE-- WHERE THE DESK INTHE OVERFLOW ROOM IS
AVAILABLE TO TAKE THIS COMPUTER WHILE WE SET UP THHE OTHER-- THAT DESK SHOWS
SIGNS OF ATTRACTING CLUTTER-- YOU KNOW THE OLD
"CLUTTER WILL ACCUMULATE TO FILL AVAILABLE SPACE" ROUTINE.. SO
WE BETTER GET THE NEW IN HERE AND GET IT OPERATIONAL..
A BIG PROBLEM IS QUICKEN-- I WOULD LOVE TO START A NEW QUICKEN-- THE
OTHER WORKS BUT IS SOOOOO GUMMED UP WITH EXTRA CRAP---- BEST WORD...
CRAP---
LOTS OF FERNOWS LIKE IS IT THE--- COOP--- OR ESSEX COUNTY COOP -- OR
SEVERASL MISSPELLED VERSIONS LIKE ESEX CO COOP-- OR COOPERATIVE .. ALL THE SAME
ACCOUNT... STUFF LIKE THAT.
**********
AND THE BOOK-- I THOUGHT I WAS DONE-- AND JANINE CAME UP WITH SOME
TRAINING PARAGRAPHS WHICH PROVES SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WE DO ANYWAY-- SHE TURNS
OUT A WELL TRAINED DOG WITH NO KNOWN METHOD TO HER TRAINING.
PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING
JANINE IS TOO HIGH POWERED TO WORK AROUND HERE-- SHE SHOWS UP TO USE THE
WASHING MACHINE -- OR THE HORSE TRAILER- AND I JUST HOLD MY BREATH AS SHE ZIPS
THRU MUTTERING ABOUT HER SON'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE.
**************
TODAY'S SCHEDULE?
PLANT THE POSTS-- A MUST DO. SHOULD HAVE DOEN THAT YESTERDAY --- SHELIA
MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP TODAY-- THEY ARE SELLING THEIR HOUSE AND SHE HSS TO GET
OUT-- WITH HER 5 DOGS--- ALL HANDICAPPED --- WE MUST BE ABLE TO FIND A PLACE FOR
THEM AROUND HERE...
EARLENE HAS BOUGHT A REFRIDGE FOR TEH T TENT - SO THEY MAY DELIVER IT -- OR
WE COULD PICK IT UP-- SHE IS ORGANIZING THAT...
******
ALSO SINCE ANN HEQARD ABOUT THE TOWER OF HOPE SHE SAID "IF YOU DON'T
PAINT AND DRESS UP THAT BACK DECK I WILL QUIT" SHE HAS A VERY GOOD POINT-- IT
IS TERRIBLE LOOKING AS LESS THAN 1/2 THE ORIGIONAL PAINT IS STILL THERE---
ORIGIONAL AS IN 25 YEARS AGO ORIGIONAL ---WITH SOME OF THE PEALING PAINT
HANGING IN THE BREEZES...
IT IS VERY TIRED LOOKING... MAYBE MEAT STEVE CAN HOT SPRAY THE PAINT OFF
SO WE COULD START AGAIN???
IF I SET UP THE SPRAYER I WOULD BE TOO TIRED TO ACTUALY USE IT... BUT WE
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
