THERE IS OVER A FOOT OF NEW SNOW ON TOP OF TH E GOLF CART...
SO I SHOULD GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS IT IS LIGHT... LAST TIME IT WAS THIS DEEP I GOT THE TRACTOR STUCK TRYING TO GET OFF THIS HILL...--AND I AM TOLD WE ARE HAVING A BLIZZARD THIS MORNING...
I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE REST OF THE PLACE... I.E. THE T TENT..
IF I CAN GET GOING.. I WILL DO TEH USUAL STREET TO BARN PASS- WHICH IS ONLY 5'WIDE FOR STARTERS... THEN GO BACK AND OPEN IT.. GETTING AROUND THE HOUSE WILL BE A CHALLANGE-- AND WE NEED THAT TO GET THE GOLF CART RUNNING- CARRYING LAUNDRY ETC... IT IS WONDERFU;L WITH IT'S EXTREMELY KNOBBY TIRES...
CAROLYN IS HERE IN THE GUEST HOUSE WITH RUCKUS--- THEY DID VERY WELL YESTERDAY IN THE HOSPITAL -- NOBODY WAS THERE--
THE SECOND FLOOR IS OUR PRACTICE STRAIGHTAWAY.. AND THE THIRD TIME THEY DID IT , IT WAS ALMOST an ACCEPTAble STRAIGHT LINE..... BLUE GWEN WAS A PERFECT TRAINER FOR HER.
*************
AND THEN I TRIED TO BUY A PIECE FOR ONE OF THE WOOD STOVES.. THE USUAL HOME DEPOT DID NOT HAVE IT SO I WENT TO A FIREPLACE STORE---I HAVE HAD SAD STORIES ABOUT THAT STORE FROM LONG AGO.. IT IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT SELL A POT BELLY STOVE FOR $1500- WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE ONE YOU CAN GET FROM NORTHERN TOOL FOR $300. I SAID I NEEDED A 8" TO 6" REDUCER THING.... PIPE... A VERY SNOBBISH GUY IN THE PARTS DEPT SAID "WE DON'T SELL PIPES- GO TO HOME DEPOT" AND IT GOT WORSE FROM THERE... I HAD A CARDBOARD TRACING OF THE SIZE I NEEDED- AND HE GOT IN A GREAT SWIVET ABOUT WAS MY TRACING "THE INSIDE DIAMETER OR OUTSIDE DIAMETER AND LET ME EXPLAIN WHY THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE" AND THE PIECE OF PIPE HE HAD WAS A 6" EASILY NO WHERE'S NEAR THE SIZE I NEEDED-- WHILE HE WENT ON ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF THE PENCIL LINE..
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHEN BEING A WOMAN MADE IT TOUGH TO BE POLITE... I COULD HAVE STRAIGHTENED OUT HIS PERSPECTIVE IF I HAD SAID "WHAT ARE YOU A #%^***&(* IDIOT?" BUT THE STORE WAS CROWDED SO I THANKED HIM FOR EXPLAINING THE WIDTH OF A PENCIL LINE TO ME, AND LEFT.
BLESS TEH INTERNET-- I CAN GET ONE THERE... AND SHOULD HAVE BEFORE THIS..
IT WAS--- WHY FIX THE ROOF WHEN IT IS NOT RAINING?
OR -- PLAN AHEAD---IN IT'S FINEST FORM...
WE WILL HAVE THAT ALL DONE BY SUMMER.
