i do have a bucket list-- and high on that list is a snow plow that i can manage without 6 men to haul and push it around to get it on the tractor....
with a bit of luck, today is teh day--
i know we have some old scaffolding planking -- really heavy 12" wide- and i think if i cut it in two pieces, and gt enough angle going i could push 4 or 5 inches of snow to the side then come in and have coffee BEFORE GOING OUT AND DOING THE LIFT AND DUMP; WITH THE BUCKET..
TEH OBJECT IS ALWAYS GET THE DRIVEWAY AND A FEW PARKING PLACES OPEN SO TEH VOLUNTEERS CAN GET IN AND DO THE REAL WORK WHILE I SIT IN THE WARM TRACTOR AND PLAY WITH THE SNOW.
I AM TOLD... ON TOP OF THE MESS WE NOW HAVE ( OVER 36 ") WE WILL HAVE 4" TODAY AND ANOTHER MAJOR STORM SUNDAY MONDAY TUES WITH OVER A FOOT...
FLAT ROOFS AROUND HERE ARE BEGINNING TO MAKE THE NEWS AS THEY COLLAPSE...
I REMEMBER...... WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING TEH COSTCO BUILDING, THERE WERE UNION WORKERS THERE WHO TOLD EVERYONE THAT THE BUILDING WAS GOING TO COLLAPSE BECAUSE OF THE NON UNINON WORKERS.. .. AT ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD.... THE ROOF DOES LEAK IN SEVERAL PLACES-- WHERE THY PUT TRASH CONTAINERS TO CATCH IT... COLLAPSE WOULD BE ANOTHER MATTER..MAYBE I SHOULD RE THINK SHOPPING THERE FOR A FEW DAYS.
I DO NOT MEAN TO KNOCK UNION WORKERS--- THEY WERE TERRIFFIC WITH THAT PROJECT OF REBUILDING THE BURNED DOWN MAJESTIC STABLES IN SAUGUS.. I GOT A WHOLE GROUP OF VERY ENTHUSIASTIC HORSE PEOPLE TOGETHER TO HELP... BUT NO ONE KNEW HOW TO DO MUCH MORE THAN POUND NAILS-- AND A WHOLE UNION GROUP OF ABOUT 10 GUYS SHOWED UP AND MADE SENSE OF ALL THE DONATED WOOD. IT WAS A BIG DEAL-- HOME DEPOT GAVE US TEH LUMBER-- AND THOSE UNION GUYS WERE GREAT.. KAYEM HOT DOG COMPANY SET UP FOOD, WE HAD AMBULANCE AND MED TENT.. WHICH WE NEEDED WHEN SOMEONE SHOT THE NAIL GUN THRU THEIR THUMB... BUT THE 150' BARN GOT UP!
**************
RYAN WAS HERE YESTERDAY AND GOT ALL THE VEHICLES RUNNING AND LOADED WITH FUEL-- AND THE WOOD BIN LOADED--- SO WE ARE AS READY AS WE CAN BE---THE BIG 6 PASSENGER GOLF CART IS WORKING WITH IT'S KNOBBY TIRES-- IT IS LIKE 4WD...
**************
ETHYL-- WE HAVE A VERY SICK DOG-- WHO LOOKS PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT-- THAT IS WHAT IS SO SCAREY.. WE SENT A BUNCH OF LAB STUFF AWAY YESTERDAY AND SHOLD GET THE RESULTS THIS MORNING...
*****
THERE IS A GOOD SYSTEM-- THE VET OFF ICES AROUND HAVE A LITTLE METAL BOX OUTSIDE THEIR DOORS AND SAMPLES GET PICKED UP ON A REGULAR BASIS-- TAKEN TO A LAB SOMEWHERE AND THE DIGITAL RESULTS ARE ON THE COMPUTERS IN THE MORNING. SO IN ABOUT AN HOUR I SHOUJLD HAVE SOME RESULTS
****
AS I WILL BE TAKING CHAOS TTO SEE GOERGE--- WE HAVE KEPT HER NPO IN CASE HE WANTS TO OPERATE TODAY... THAT NEVER GOT CLEARED UP-- HE MAY JUST WANT TO LOOK AND THINK ABOUT IT TODAY.. WHATEVER... I HAVE NOT CALLE D PAUL AND EARLENE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.. APPARENTLY PAUL CAN BABY SIT HER IF HE DOES OPERATE... EARLENE HAS BABY DUTY..
