I KNOW JANINE SAID ---5---- SINCE I WAS ALSEEP WHEN SHE CALLED... I AM NOT NOT SURE IT WAS 5 AM 5PM OR 5 DONKEYS WERE ABOUT TO ARRIVVE HERE.. BUT SHE DID SAY "TOMORROW" WHICH BEING YESTERDAY , MEANS TODAY.
SO I AM UP.. DRINKING COFFEE-- HOPING THE TRUCK IS LATE ENOUGH FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ARRIVE AT 7AM..
DOING THIS ARRIVA L THING ALONE WILL BE STRETCHING MY CAPABILITIES... WHICH I FIND ANNOYING-- I CAN NO LONGER GO RUNNING AROUND THE YARD WITH A 10 ' PIECE OF FENCING-- OR REACT FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF BUNCH OF DONKEYS EAGER TO GET OFF THE TRAILER AFTER A LONG RIDE.
AGING IS NOT FOR THE MEEK.
I SHOULD GO DOWN AND CLOSE THE DOOR SO MAUDE DOES NOT GET INTO THE PASTURE-- DONE.
******
SOMEWHERE I LOSST TRACK OF JANINE'S RESUCE EFFORTS-- I THOUGHT SHE WAS CUTTING A HOLE IN THE BACK OF HER GARAGE AND MAKING A BIG DONKEY STALL 3ITH A SMALL PASTURE BEHIND IT.-- TYPICAL JANINE SHE WANTS TO HAVE WOOD POSTS SO IT LOOKS GOOD... WHICH I SHOULD NOT KNOCK... BUT A WOOD POST TAKES ABOUT 2 HOURS-- SHE WOULD NEED 20 OF THEM TO MAKE A CIRCLE--- A METAL FENCE POST WOULD DO THE SAME JOB.. LOOK LIKE H3LL AND TAKE 5 MINUTES PER POST-- THEREIN LIES THE CONFLICT BETWEEN JANINE AND I FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS.-- THERE ARE TIMES SHE HAS DEMANDED I LOOK GOOD-- LIKE AROUND THE PUPPY HILL FENCE WITHTHE ADDED EXPENSE OF A 2X4 AT TEH TOP-- PAINTED WHITE--- -- WHICH IS NOW NICE TO HAVE --- BUT AT THE TIME... ALL THAT EXTRA WORK/EXPENSE "JUST" TO LOOK GOOD WAS A DIFFICULT PILL TO SWALLOW. THIS COMPLAINT IS ONLY ABOUT A 50% COMPLAINT BECAUSE SHE IS TREMENOUSLY HELPFUL WITH HUGE PROBLEMS..... BUT FOR SMALL DISASTERS... SHE IS VERY CONFUSING TO WORK WITH.
SO NOW... SHE DIDN'T GET HER PEN READY- AND GOT PRESSURED BY GETTING A BARGAIN TRAILER RIDE FOR THESE ANIMALS FROM TEXAS-- THERE IS ALWAYS A VERY LOGICAL REASON---MONEY BEING A BIG ONE... AND I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH BARGAIN LIVING....AS A MATTER OF FACT , I HAVE A PHD IN DUCT TAPE.
IT IS NOW APPARENT TO ME I SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE OF MY METAL POST FENCES IN BEHIND THE ARENA SO WE HAVE SOME OTHER EMERGENCY PLAN... AND I CAN PUT IN 2 PENS OUT THERE WITH A SMALL TURN OUT AREA-- MAYBE THE BLUE AND RED TENT COVER FOR SHADE..( NO ROOF - AT THE MOMENT... THAT MIGHT INVOLVE AN ACTUAL BUILDING EVEN THO 2 OF TEH WALLS ARE STILL THE OLD ARENA SO IT IS TECHNICALLY REBUILDING IN THE SAME FOOTPRINT..)
AND TEHN THERE IS TEH GE CREW ABOUT TO ARRIVE .. NEEDING A PROJECT-- AS I SIT HERE... NICE AND DRY/WARM/COMFORTABLE... WE NEED A BIGGER CEMETARY-- DUE TO A VERY CASUAL GRAVE LABELING DEPARTMENT, WE NEED TO GROW-- AND BE MORE LABEL-SPECIFIC.. MAKING AN ERROR IN THE CEMETARY IS NOT A HAPPY MISTAKE.
I HAVE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE NEIGHBORS DEB AND INGRID-- I HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITHTHEM ABOUT LEAVING AN AREA "NATURAL" SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT OUT WHERE THAT LINE IS.
NO TRUCK YET... AND MORE HELP IS HERE PRAISES BE !!
