SOMEHOW I GET A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY-- I USUALLY READ THEM- MOSTLY BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE FROM "GOLDIE" ( GHOST OF THE LEFT HAND DRAWER) -- ANYTHING OVER 25 WORDS IS BEYOND ME... BUT....THERE WAS TODAY'S “If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”-- IN TODAY'S CASE, THE ANSWER IS 35 YEARS LATER...
****
WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THIS PLACE IT WAS PURE FOREST-- 2 ADJACENT LOTS- - MINE #45 AND HIS #37... HE PUT UP THE HOUSE... I PUT UP THE GUEST HOUSE , BARN, ARENA, WORK SHOP, DEAGLE HOUSE,.NUTT HOUSE, CHICKEN COOL AVIARY AND LAUNDRY BUILDING...... THEN MOVED IN A CABOOSE.( BEFORE THE T TENT.)...( THAT'S ANOTHER STORY)
****
I HAD INTENDED TO USE "MY DRIVEWAY " #45 WHICH IS BEHIND THE ARENA-- BASICALLY A 20 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY TO THE STREET .. -----ON MY DEED SO I CAN GET MY CATTLE TO THE POND FOR WATER... WHEN WE WERE JUST STARTING, THE NEIGHBORS ON THAT DRIVEWAY APPROCHED ME PLEASENTLY- BUT NEGATIVELY ABOUT USING THAT DRIVEWAY-- SO I OPTED NOT TO OPEN IT AND USE IT ALL THE TIME--- THO I WAS CAREFUL TO USE IT AT LEAST YEARLY JUST TO STAY IN PRACTICE..
HOWEVER WE NOW HAVE SUCH A PARKING PROBLEM THAT THE WHOLE AREA IN FRONT OF THE T TENT IS SOLID CARS ON A SUNDAY- AND TAKES UP WHAT WAS "THE SAND RING" 60 X 100-- AND THERE IS ANOTHER ACRE OR TWO ON THAT RIGHT OF WAY WHICH COUOD BE "USED" SO I /WE ARE CUTTING TREES AND CLEARING WHAT WAS "ORIGIONAL" FOREST LEAVING THE HUGE TREES WHICH EVERYONE WILL JUST HAVE TO BACK INTO---
****
THE PROBLEM IS-- THE FLAT FIELD FENCE--- IF WE MOVE THAT OVER ABOUT 4 FEET, WE COULD UTILIZE ANOTHEHR ½ ACRE WHICH IS ADJACENT TO THE CEMETARY AND OFF DRIVEWAY #37 AND HAVE A DRIVE THRU-- IT WOULD SAVE A COUPLE MORE BIG TREES -- I MEAN BBBBIIIIGGGG . 90 FOOT TALL ONES..
NEVER WOULD I... EXCEPT WE HAVE A BUNCH OF GE WORKERS COMING-- AND THEY COULD MOVE THAT IS 20 MINUTES...
RYAN HAS IT NICELY CLEARED AND CAN GET THRU WITH THE TRACTOR ( 5 FOOT WIDE) ANOTHER 4 FEET WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.. AND TEH FLAT FIELD WILL NEVER MISS IT.. SO WE/THEY WILL MOVE THE FENCE.
****
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE THE PROGRESS WITH THE PUPPY HILL CAMERA.. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH GREAT INTENSITY APRIL 22--23 WHEN BOTH GE AND THE TREE BUNCH WILL BE HERE TO CUT A FEW 8" TREES I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE CUTTING- BECAUSE THEY COULD FALL ON THIS NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY WHO IS ALREADY FURIOUS THAT I WANT TO USE MY DRIVEWAY--
THEY WILL ARRIVE WITH WOOD CHIPPER ALSO-- RRREEEAALLLLY CRITICAL CHIPPING BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY CUT THE SMALL STUFF TO GET /FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT.
****
DID ANYONE .... AS A CHILD... READ THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT? HE KEEPS ADDING.... THEN TEARING DOWN... I CAN RELATE TO ALOT OF THAT. I HAVE ALSO READ SILVERSTIENS POEM..."THE GIVING TREE" WHERE THE PERSON TAKES SO MUCH OF THE TREE THAT HE ENDS UP JUST SITTING ON A STUMP IN HIS OLD AGE...
**************
SHANNON 47 HAS A HUSBAND WHO IS THINKING THEY SHOULD MOVE TO DENVER-- THIS IS A BAD THING...SHE IS A GOOD TRAINER AND WE DON'T WANT HER TO MOVE-- AND SHE DOESN'T EITHER--- SO WOULD ANYONE FROM DENVER PLESE GIVE ME A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS WRONG WITH DENVER? OR COLORADO IN GENERAL??.. WE NEED AMUNITION -- HE LIKES TO SKI--
SHE LIKES GREEN GRASS AND SEAFOOD....
******
BACK WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR THE GOV'T - FIGURING OUT HOW A FOREIGN GOVT WOUL D LIKE TO BOMB THE UNITIED STATES, I REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT ATOMIC FALL OUT FROM LA AND SAN FRAN WOULD LAND IN DENVER.... OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...
WE DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE SHANNON 47.... GET ME A FIRST HAND LIST....PLEASE....
