100 pounds of rice and we are ready ...i also think we need a helium balloon to tie to wanda so we can keep track of her in the ..now 30 inches of snow predicted for this area... it is the blowing --- that really screws up the work.s.. we could have bare ground in the parking lot and 12 feet all piled up on the door...
***
plan is to get all the dogs in the barn-- with it's automatic generator and heat-- shoujld be fine-- and load the rest in this house-- where we do have a generator ( electric start) but we also have fireplaces and ... bless that old huge cooking stove--
plus----locate the shovels before they get burried and require memory to locate.

a big job of the day ---must get firewood distributed to guest house and laundry/training room stoves...and then leave the tractor with a full tank of fuel. golf carts are stashed out of the way- and the big one is in the garage.. 30 inches-- we are going to have trouble pushing it out of the way-- it is not going to "push" -- it will be more lift and shove.....i did open the drivewya as best i could yesterday-
we should be fine unless these 100 ' tall trees start falling on us-- that could get exciting.
we have lived thru a building collapse before -- the old arena-- this arena with it's smooth shape, the snow should slide off--- making an impossible mountain in the door to the flat field ( where i did manage to get the tractor stuck in one blizzard.)
several volunteers are planning to stay overnight tonight-- slumber party !! please-- back into the parking places
heat and food-- and we will make it. pizza delivery will be impossible-- but cooking with no electricity is a challange-- so precook and heat up is a better choice...
and maybe partially thaw out the many gallons of ice cream
and another big problem--- we no longer have MARY--- she used to break down a path in the deep snow..for the dogs to run in a loop up over puppy hill and the flat field... janine reports that the 3 fatso's that are getting too much hay will probably be useless..rumor has it the draft pony is not quite broken-- or else he is too opinionated to stear- we can put maddy up on him and push him into the flat field-- with 2 feet of snow, he would come back better behaved-- and if he throws her off , the landing would be soft.
and traci --- adams-- just plain can not leave-- she is too valuable in this predicted storm-- so she rebooked a week later...and was not charged for it-- i was ready if she had a rebooking penalty--
we are going to try and get the highlander back today-- it has been fixed for a week and i keep forgetting it. plan of the day is to go to costco -- with wayne for the 100 # of rice for the barn- and load up on food we can heat up--- soups are good... the tire place will either be inundated - or barren-- if barren i could try and my tires changed--.. i am told the supermarket is out of bread
and just to keep you all amused-- i did email tim and see if he could keep the leaf camera going for amusement purposes... it covers the driveway area
i have written a letter to the superintendant of schools-- i just sent it to our board for approval just to make sure i did not sayu anything i should not have said... there was alot i wanted to say--- and all of that could have been said in 25 words or less... but i would have owed about $23 to the swear bear.
someone sent me a Words of wisdom thing about people who swear are more reliable than those who don't.
must be true-- it was on the internet.
