JAN 25,2014
WE HAVE THE NEW CAMERA--- JUST LIKE THE OLD--- NOW PLUGGED IN... AND WAITING FOR HELP FROM EXPLORE... TIM IS IN AFRICA  AND JON IS IN CALIFORNIA..  I AM HOPING TO HEAR FROM AFRICA-- BECAUSE I THINK  IT IS DAY THERE - I KNOW CALIF IS TOO EARLY SO AFRICA MUST BE OK..... SUCH PROBLEMS

 THE OLD CAMERA IS IN THE BOX WAITING TO BE SENT TO SONY FOR A NEW LENS...
************
THE HEAT IN THE BARN IS  WONDERFUL--  
WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT--- LONG AGO OUR FIRST VOLUNTEERS WERE a lic plumber ( paUL)  AND A LIC ELECTRITIAN( BUD 1) NOW THAT WE HAVE GROWN, WE HAVE INHERITED SHELIA WITH HER COMPLETE  CRANNEY HOME REPAIR COMPANY...  AND HER HUSBAND.. BRIAN. 

EVERYTHING HERE  MAY BE WORKING... BUT ..."NEEDS ATTENTION"-- WITH THE NEW SELF START GENERATOR AND NOW A NEW GAS FURNACE, WE HAVE ENTERED THE ADULT WORLD OF NO GERRY RIGGING--- 

.....OR AT LEAST LESS OF IT-- WE HAVE A WAYS TO GO- THE IMPROVEMENTS IN  THE PAST YEAR  THANKS MOSTLY TO EXPLORE'S GRANT AND THE CAMERA PEOPLE'S PARTICIPATION IN THE CHICKEN BRICK SUPPORT.

**********
GRACE PULLED US THRU LAST NIGHT.... THE BARKING WAS CONSTANT-- I GOT TO TIMING IT.. 3 BARKS EVERY 5 SEC,,,  NON STOP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.. SHE WENT OUT AND BROUGHT IN  THE MAIN BARKER - PUT HER ON THE DECK--- AND IT CONTINUED-- SO SHE WENT OUT TO THE NUTT HOUSE AGAIN-- AND FIGURED OUT THERE WAS ONE DOG WHO WOULD NOT CLIMB THE STEPS INTO THE LOFT/BED  AND HAD NO WHERE TO SLEEP... GRACE PUT DOWN ALOT OF FLUFFIES AND ALL WS QUIET

I THOUGHT WWE  DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF SITUATION... SO WE NOW-- TODAY SHOULD WALK AROUND AND BE SURE EACH DOG HAS AN ACCEPTABLE OPTION,IN ADDITION TO THE LOFT..... IF THER EARE 2 DOGS AND ONE DECIDES TO BE DOMINANT, CAN THE OTHER DOG STILL GET IN OUT OF THE COLD?

IT IS TRICKY--- WE NEED TO DESIGN SO THAT IF THE DOMINANT DOG BLOCKS THE DOOR, THEN HE TOO IS UNCOMFORTABLE  AND WOULD THEN CHOOSE TO GET IN BED-- AT WHICH TIME THE SECOND DOG CAN AT LEAST HAVE A FLUFFY ON THE FLOOR-- OR KURANDA  OR SOMETHING  WHCH CAN NOT BE COMFORTABLY BLOCKED BY DOMINANT.

SO I AM ON THAT...
