ON WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTOR PROBLEM... THIS NEW GUY WHO IS FILLING IN SEEMS REASONABLE ON THE PHONE,,, HOWEVER STILL NO PERMIT... APPARENTLY THE HEALTH DEPT HAS AN ISSUE WITH FLOOR DRAINS-- NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THERE THAT IS NOT NOW HAPPENING IN THE YARD WITH WATER JUST DRAINING AWAY.
I HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS YESTERDAY I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE.
NOW THAT IS BAD.
***
THE CAMERAS-----I AM TOLD EXPLORE IS READY TO LIVEN THE DONKEY CAMERA AS SOON AS JON GETS BACK-- I DON;T KNOW WHERE JON WENT... HOPEFULLY NOT TO CLIMB MT EVEREST AND WILL BE BACK SOON.
I ALSO HAD TO ASK THEM TO D/C THE DRIVEWAY CAM- AS FILMING THE ACTIVITIES ON HONEYMOON HILL ARE NOT NORMAL AMERICAN FAMILY FARE.-- IN EUROPE THEY WOULD NOT BAT AN EYE... HOWEVER THERE IS NO REASON TO INCLUDE THAT CAMERA- SO I ASKED IT BE SHUT DOWN TEMPORARILY -- FOR CONVENIENCE SAKE. AND WE NOW HAVE 2 TIES -- FOR THOSE KEEPING TRACK ADD 63 DAYS..

YOU MIGHT SEE THE WIRING GUY WANDERING AROUND THIS MORNING.-- FOR NEW CP'S....
MOUSE-- OR MICE--- HAVE CHEWED THRU ALOT OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IN THE LAUNDRY BUILDING-- SO AT GREAT EXPENSE I AM HAVING THE WIRING REPLACED BY METAL COVERED WIRES OUTSIDE THE WALLS-- I HAVE SEEN WHERE THEY CHEWED ALL 3 WIRES IN ONE PLACE... IF THEY GOT ELECTROCUTED THEY DROPPED DOWN AND I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT... PROBLEM IS ... I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IS THE ONLY PLACE- AND PROBABLY THE GUEST HOUSE COULD STAND NEW WIRING ALSO-- THIS IS A LARGE- NO FUN EXPENSE- BUT A FIRE WOULD BE WORSE... SO I AM GETTING AN ESTIMATE ON IT ALSO.. IT IS ALOT LESS COMPLICATED TO DO... I WAANT OT BE ABLE TO SEE THE WIRES.
THE BARN HAS WIRING YOU CAN SEE-- OR IT IS IN CONDUIT PIPES. AND I DON'T THINK THE HOUSE HAS MANY PERMANENT MOUSE APARTMENT COMPLEXES ..
THAT EXPENSE IS LIKE THE HUGE DRYWELL FOR THE LAUNDRY-- YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THAT EXPENSE.
THAT IS THE WORST KIND !! HARD TO EXPLAIN WHERE THE MONEY WENT WHEN IT ACTUALLY WENT SO YOU COULD NOT SEE THE REASON YOU HAD TO SPEND IT.

WE DID SEVERAL CALENDAR POSSIBLE SHOTS YESTERDAY... I SET THE EXPLORE CAMERA SO YOU COULD WATCH WILLIAM WORK BUT NOT SEE WHAT HE WAS PHOTOGRAPHING...-- APPARENTLY KITTY TOOK SOME MOVIE TYPE PICTURES SO WE COULD ADVERTISE THE CALENDAR .
****
THERE IS ALOT TO REMEMBER- AND WITH NO MEMORY IT CAN BE A PROBLEM..
I FOLD A 5 X 7 INDEX CARD IN ⅓ AND US THAT AS A PORTABLE MEMORY DEVICE...
I KNOW MOST THE YOUNG KIDS AROUND HERE USE THER CELL PHONES BUT-- SOVED IN MY BACK POCKET NOT ONLY BUTT DIAL PEOPLE , I END UP GOING TO THE DENTIST FOR AN APPOINTMENT ARRAINGED BY MY BUTT. SO I USE A CARD..
I HAVE BEEN TOLD- BY THEM AS KNOWS- MANY RESPECTABLE BUSINESS TYPES ARE RESORTING TO AN INDEX CARD MEMORY SYSTEM.
DOESN'T NEED RE-BOOTING

PUPPY TRAINING...
HOW DO I KNOW DOGS/PUPPIES LEARN A SEQUENCE OF "B FOLLOWS A"? THESE PUPS KNOW... IN ABOUT 2 DAYS... THAT WHEN YOU HEAR THE BLENDER GRINDING DOG FOOD, THAT IN A FEW MINUTES THERE WILL BE DINNER... AND THEY HAVE THAT SEQUENCE DOWN PAT VERY EARLY... BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE DINNER IS SEVERAL ACTIONS REMOVED FROM TEH GRINDING... SO IN A VERY FEW DAYS THEY HAVE FIGURED B FOLLOWS A ---AFTER C AND F AND Q BUT B IS COMING..
WITH THAT IN MIND... HOW DO YOU TEACH A DOG TO REMIND YOU TO TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS DURING THE DAY? START WITH SOME TREATS THE DOG LOVES... PUT THEM WITH YOUR PILLS... THEN PAY ATTENTION FOR A FEW DAYS GO TAKE YOUR PILL AT A SPECIFIC TIME..AND GIVE THEM A TREAT--- VERY SHORTLY TEH DOG WILL BE TELLING YOU IT IS TIME TO GO GET A TREAT./PILL... IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE...
****
THEY ARE GETTING TO THE STAGE OF "BITEY FACE" AND THERE ARE LOUD COMPLAINTS-- LIKE WHILE I AM TRYING TO WRITE THIS DD... SO OVERNIGHT PERSON - WHO IS AT THE END OF HER SHIFT -- AND TIRED.. PULLED OFF THE REAL AGGRESSOR, AND WAS PATTING THE PUP... WRONG...YOU PICK OFF THE AGGRESSIVE PUP BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK JUST LIKE THEIR MOTHER WOULD AND PIN IT TO THE FLOOR FOR NO MORE THAN ONE SECOND- AND WALK AWAY. LEAVING THEM TO THINK ABOUT IT.
*****
I AM DELIGHTED TO SEE THE BRICK NUMBERS GROWING ---
AND WE HAVE ALOT OF "SPIRIT STICKS ARRIVING... FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW-- IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT TO DOG FEST SEPT 23-24 YOU COULD SEND A PICTURE OF YOU OR YOUR DOG OR ANYTHING ELSE AND WE SET THEM ALL UP FOR DISPLAY DURING THE TIME THESE CP'S ARE HERE THEN WE HAVE A SPIRIT STICK PARADE - TO HOLD EACH ONE IN FRONT OF THE CAM ERA BEFORE WE PUT THEM IN A FIRE SO THE SMOKE WILL RISE..
AND WE CAN GO EAT ICECREAM FROM THE PORTABLE ICE CREAM SHOPPE
IT IS MOST BIZARRE . .. AND FUN...
