DOG FEST IS BEGINNING TO FESTER----- AMONG THE CP'S GATHERING....... JERI AND STEVE ARE HERE--- FOR YOU NEW PEOPLE.. THEY ARE THE AMAZING COUPLE WHO READ THE DIRECTIONS AND PUT UP THE G-TENT WITHOUT ONE ARGUEMENT I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE IN MY LIFE.--SO I ASKED STEVE IF HE KNEW ANYTHING BOUT CONCRETE BLOCKS.. AND HE SAID "I BET I WILL BY SATURDAY"... GOOD ATTITIUDE..
CONCRETE IS BENG POURED ON FRIDAY-- I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A SMALL SQUARE SET UP SO MAYBE THEY CAN POUR US A DOGFEST SQUARE FOR PEOPLE TO SIGN THIER NAMES IN...
BUILDLING IS BEING DELIVERED TODAY WITH ALOT OF PIECES... PLAN IS OT MOVE TEH PALLETS FROM PURINA AROUND THE BUILDING AND MOVE TEH BLOCKS TO THAT AREA
SO WE CAN USE THE HELP WE HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY ARE BEST AT... LUG AND CARRY FOR THE ONES WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING .
I WISH I HAD A VIDEO OF THE SET UP THEY NEED... I THINK A PIECE OF PLYWOOD ON SAWHORSES IS NEEDED-- NOT SURE EXACTLY WHERE.
******
SDP IS MAKING 2 HUGE STRIDES FORWARD-- HOPEFULLY THE BUILDING IS ONE OF THEM..
THE SECOND IS THE CONNECTION TO THE BAY STATE TRAIL, BY CUTTING THRU THE UNDERBRUSH FROM OUR GATE IN "A", IT IS AN INTERESTING WALK TO MEET UP WITH IT IN WILLOWDALE STATE FOREST.. AND LOOP AROUND OUR PROPERTY IN ABOUT A 45 MINUTE STROLL. UPHILL AND DOWN.... THERE IS ONE POINT WHERE TH E TRAIL IS ABOUT 12 FEET WIDE AND THERE IS A 100 FOOT DROP ON EITHER SIDE..GLACIER TYPE --- WLLOWDALE IS FULL OF THOSE LONG WINDING RIDGES.....
Most eskers are argued to have formed within ice-walled tunnels by streams which flowed within and under glaciers. They tended to form around the time of the glacial maximum when the glacier was slow and sluggish. After the retaining ice walls melted away, stream deposits remained as long winding ridges.
TH BAY STATE TRAIL GOES FROM CAPE ANN TO CAPE COD - IT IS WELL DEFINED...
IF WE CAN GET /KEEP THE TRAIL OPEN EVENTUALLY JANINE HAS IN MIND HAVING DONKEY WALKS AROUND THAT PATH...- TO DO THAT WE WOULD EITHER HAVE TO GET THE TRACTOR IN TO COVER ONE VERY SMALL V DITCH.. WHICH INSTEAD OF THE BRIDGE OTHERS ARE TRYING TO BUILD THERE, JUST PLAIN COVER A PIPE--- AND WE HAVE ONE IN THE V PEN AS A PUPPY TOY...
I KNOW THE "POWERS" THAT BE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RED FLAGS WSE HAVE IN TEH WOODS RIGHT NOW... BUT AS SOON AS WE GET THE TRAIL DEFINED WE CAN MODIFY THOSE.. THT DITCH WOULD ALSO BE A GREAT GE PROJECT BUNCH A OF GUYS WITH SHOVELS AND WE WOULD NOT NEED THE TRACTOR.
BESDIES YOU WOULD GET THE DONKEYS OVER A PLYWOOD BRIDGE ONLY WITH A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY... AND A HORSE WOULD BE DANGEROUS...
'MAYBE THAT SHOLDU BE THE PRIORITY OF THE DAY... MAYBE A SQUIRT OF PAINT ON THE GROUND MIGHT BE BETTER AT THE MOMENT --- THOSE RED FLAGS ARE BOUND TO BE OFFENSIVE...
********
LOTS OF DAILY DOGGIES ARE INFLUENCED BY MY SUBCONSCIOUS RETENTION OF WHAT WAS ON THE TV WHEN I FELL ASLEEP...I WOKE UP THIS MORNING THINKING WE HAVE SOME OF TEH BEST TRAINED LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.. TO HAVE LOCATED THE NY BOMB GUY IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS IS AMAZING... I AM SURE CONSTANT RETRAINING IS A REQUIREMENT.
NOW HOW ABOUT TRAINING OF THE PUBLIC...
I CAN REMEMBER... HERE WE GO AGAIN.... AS A TINY REDHEADED KID OF 8 OR 10 -- MY MOTHER WHO WAS LOOMING LARGE OVER ME-POUNDED INTO MY HEAD... IF A POLICEMAN TELLS YOU TO STOP AND STAND STILL YOU DO EXACTLY THAT-THAT IS YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. BOY DO I REMEMBER THAT LECTURE-- AND I MENTIONED IT TO JANINIE THE OTHR DAY - SHE SAID I GAVE THEM THE SAME FRIGHTENING LECTURE-- WHICH SHE HAS GIVEN TO HER SON COLBY.
MY MOTHER WAS WRONG ABOUT ALOT OF THINGS- LIKE PIANO PLAYING AND SPELLING... BUT THAT LECTURE HAD A REAL TONE TO IT- THE FACT THAT I PASSED IT DOWN 2 MORE GENERATIONS GIVES IT CREDENCE. SHOULD THIS NOT BE MENTIONED IN SCHOOLS? YOU DO EXACTLY WHAT THE POLICE TELL YOU TO DO FOR TEH INSTANT-- AND ARGUE ABOUT THE FACTS LATER.
NOW.... ABOUT GENERAL IQ AND MOTIVATION....
WHICH DO YOU THINK IS THE MORE RELIABLE GROUP, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUP OR A BUNCH 18 TO 25 YEAR OLDS WHO HAVE HAD A FEW BEERS?
I FORGET WHO SAID " NO LAW EVER GOT CHANGED BY TURNING OVER A POLICE CRUIZER"
*****
I BET YOU 'D GET NATIONAL ATTENTION IF YOU GOT 5 PEOPLE WEARING SANDWICH BOARDS..OUT ON THE HIGHWAY...... WITH AN OPINION...IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE... REMEMBER THE
....
IS HE LONESOME
OR JUST BLIND
THE GUY WHO DRIVES
SO CLOSE BEHIND
BURMA SHAVE
THE SAFEST RULE
NO IF'S OR BUT'S
IS DRIVE LIKE EVERYONE
ELSE IS NUTS.
BURMA SHAVE.
WE READ THOSE SIGNS ----WE EVEN LOOKED FORWARD TO FINDING THAT CLEVERNESS BY THE ROAD...
NOW....IN SPITE OF TEH FACT THAT TH E DESIGNER OF THESE BILLBOARDS MAKE HIGH SALARIES, THERE IS NOTHING CLEVER ABOUT A HUGE SIGN THAT SAYS "DRINK COKE"
HOW DRAB....HAVE WE TAUGHT OUR FUTURE GENERATION TO NOT HAVE ANY CREATIVITY.?...(GOOGLE THAT TED LECTURE KEN ROBERTSON )
***********
WATER... WE HAD ANOTHER CALL FROM TEH TOWN... NOT ONLY IS OUTSIDE WATER BANNED... BUT PLEASE RESTRICT INDOOR USE. WITH THE CALIFORNIA JINGLE "IF IT'S YELLOW, LEAVE IT MELLOW, IF IT'S BROWN , FLUSH IT DOWN"
OK...I ALSO THINK WE SHOULD BE SHAKE AND AIR... INSTEAD OF WASH ALL OUR FLUFFIES... IT WILL LOOK WIERD... BUT THERE IS ALOT WE DO NOT NEED TO WASH...
ESPECIALLY IF WE HANG STUFF INTHE NICE SUNNY BREEZES ( WITHOUT ANY RAIN)
CLOTHESLINE INSTALATION WILL BE A PROJECT OF THE DAY.... AND LOCATION OF TEH CLOTHESPIN COLLECTION IF WE HANG THIS STRAIGHT DOWN THEY WILL IMPPROVE.
FENCES ARE OK... BUT THE DOGS PULL STUFF IN THE KENNELS SO WE NEED CLOTHESLINES ALONG THE FENCES....OUTSIDE....

FROM TWAN
"CHECK THE FACTS BEFORE YOU CRITICISE 'FOREIGN' INFORMATION OR DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING THINGS ABROAD".
OUCH !!!
SOMEHOW TWAN THOUGHT I WAS CRITICAL OF FOREIGN WAY OF DOING THNIGS..
LORD KNOWS I WOULD BE THE LAST ONE IN THE WORLD TO SAY TEH AKC WAS DOING THINGS BETTER THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD !!
I NEVER MEANT THE CONVERSATION ABOUT FOREIGN PASSPORTS TO BE OFFENSIVE... JUST INSTRUCTIONAL . TRYING TO GIVE DD READERS THE BENEFIT OF MY ERROR.
