JAN 25 2016

MAYBE CHINESE FOOD FOR BREAKFAST SLOWS ME DOWN...
SO MAYBE TODAY'S CHORE SHOULD BE TO HAVE SOME NORMAL BREAKFAST THINGS AROUND HERE-- WE ARE JUST ABOTU THRU THE HUGE COLLECTION OF MINIWHEATS WE GOT AT MAIL CALL- ONES I NEVER KNEW EXISTED  PUMPKIN, BLUEBERRY, STRWBERRY, COFFEE,CHOCOLATE ETC...
****
TO BE HONEST , I HAVE A BOX FULL OF NUTROSYSTEM FOODS WHICH AREN'T .. BAD....- BUT THEY AREN'T NEARLY AS GOOD AS GENERAL GAO'S CHICKEN... WHICH AT 3 DAYS OLD IS BEGINNING TO SUFFER. THE NUTROSYSTEM BOX IS BASICALLY  EMERGENCY FOOD....WHAT WE EAT WHEN THERE REALLY IS NOTHING ELSE... IT IS FOOD-- AND  NOT TERRIBLE.  BLIZZARD TYPE RATIONS...
******
MUCH AS THE SNOWSTORM WAS A DISAPPOINTING 3 INCHES - SO I COULD NOT PLAY WITH THE NEW PLOW  WITH ANY DEGREE OF SUCCESS...I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SITTING IN MY NICE WARM TRACTOR, PILING UP SNOW FOR A REALLY HUGE SNOWMAN-- FOR THE CALENDAR WINTER SHOT.. AND NO SNOW... YET...
******
WILLIAM ( PHOTOGRAPHER OF CALENDAR FAME) SAID HE HEARD THERE WOUOLD NOT BE MUCH SNOW THIS WINTER-  HE MUST HAVE GOT THAT  OFF THE INTERNET RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE IT SAID - MORE SNOW THAN LAST YEAR.
THE REASON THE INTERNET CAN BE QUOTED AS RIGHT IS THAT IT  DISPLAYS EVERY RUMOR POSSIBLE  SO ONE IS BOUND TO BE CORRECT...
***
WILLIAM'S POINT WAS...  "I HOPE THIS IS NOT ALL THE SNOW WE GET-- HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET A CHRISTMAS OR WINTER SHOTS FOR NEXT YEAR'S CALENDAR..."  AFTER WHAT HE GOES THRU IN PRODUCING THOSE CALENDARS - I AM DELIGHTED TO HEAR HE IS EVEN CONSIDDERING DOING ANOTHER FOR NEXT YEAR.... THEY ARE A THING OF BEAUTY-- AND WE DO HAVE ANOTHER BOX OR TWO LEFT IF ANYONE WANTS MORE.  THAT CAALENDAR IS THE PRODUCT OF SOME HEAVY DUTY  CREATIVE THINKING,WITH KITTY'S GATHERING, AND WILLIAM'S PHOTOGRAPHY..
*****
WE JUST (6AM) HAD A SCRATCH AT THE DOOR- BLACK FEMALE--- NOT TOO SURE WHO  -- EARS NOT TOOOO COLD SO SHE AHS NOT BEEN OUT LONG.----  NOTICEABLY FAT, ROLLY POLLY WAISTLINE.... I WAS THINKING ONE OF THE EUROPE DOGS----.PAM WASN'T 100% EITHER.. NOW SHE IS SAYING MUST BE MARTHA BECAUSE MARTHA CAN OPEN ANY GATE.  NICE DOG... GREETED THE 3 PUPS WELL...IT IS GOING TO BE PRETTY FUNNY IF WHEN SHANNON GETS HERE SHE DECIDES THAT IS NOT MARTHA..
*****
BLESS THOSE HARLS... AT LEAST THEY LOOK DIFFERENT.
NO WAY COULD I RAISE GOLDENS OR LABS... I DON'T KKNOW HOW THEY DO IT EVEN WITH COLORED STRING AND NAIL POLISH....
*******
IN SEARCHING  THE INTERNET FOR MORE GENES IN EUROPE.. I DID LEARN SOMETHING NEW-- INSTEAD OF TH E  USUAL WHELPING BOX WITH THE RIDGES- WHERE A PUP CAN HOPEFULLY HIDE SO MOM DOES NOT SLEEP ON ONE.... THEY HAD A HUGE BOX, BUT INSTEAD OF A WOOD "SHELF",   THEY HAD PIPE ABOUT 5" FROM THE SIDE-  IT LOOKED VERY EFFICIENT AN D NEAT.  
*****
W/R/T CHICKEN BRICKS....I KNOW THERE IS A LATE SHATTING SUNDAY -- FEB 7TH?   SO WE DO HAVE A FEW DAYS TO GO BUT IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO GET TO TEH 25TH AND BE NOT QUITE ½ THERE YET...
******
ENERGY LEVEL IS PATHETIC 

THAT IS THE  WORD OF THE DAY.
