we need someon to drive to wwoburn today-- i made a fat rope to hang over bella's head so maybe she can shift herself around the bed better
i heard rachael was getting up to roll her over with all that head gear on.... i got all the pieces at home depot yesterday--- hook to go in a beam/rafter over her head..snap,3' section of chain so she can adjust the height... another hook tehn 3' of that nice 3/4 inch cotton ropewith a bump spliced at the end.
**** apparently this is inventive week... the doggie doors are holding up beautifully--- one slight tooth mark is all teh dogs have managed to do as of last night... normal attrition would br 4 doggie doors a night gone.--and***** my hair conditioner seems to slide things off my car's windscreen,,
***now to attack the 5 gallon buckets with teh "spickets" kathy "grover" sent -- i mean she sent th whold 9 yards... hole driller, the weird piece i have been looking for for years--dope tape--and shut offs.. i am gonna have a ball today !!! a 5 gal bucket and a 3'piece of hose and things are gonna change...
i have discussed with you all how one dog getting a drink from a 5 gallon pail turns the rest to slime that slithers out of the pail when you go to refresh it. so now-- with this "rig" i can put one on the table by the t tent and we can dumpa dn fill the dog water dishes there-- no more lugging pailfulls that only get dumped..handle wiggling w should work-- also managing the chicken water may be redesigned same waay..

othere things are gonna change around here today also.... i write this bit of nonsense daily... and i can't blame the staff for not reading it mowt of the time--however.... my parkinson's law tirade was dead serious... we have some real problems sneaking up on sdp.... and today we will all discuss them... i asked most everyone to give me a list of complaints and suggestions..
it will be a long meeting. and teh 2 books on parkinson's law should be arriving today and will bbe required reading.

blessed be teh time clock.... not only for staff-- but we do get kids who are supposed to do community service--- for liquor type things usually---and per the district attorney's office, i am to sign for whatever is on the time cards... at the moment.... we have a kid-- apparently a good kid- staff like him-- but he very often only punched in... not out so i have no idea when he left.. and can not ( also will not) sign the paper for more than his punched in times... which unfortunately is 14 instead of the 36 his mother thought he had... he may have put in the 36-- but the rule is there because of a bunch of kids from the da's office the punch in and leave then swear they worked 5 hours. a few ruin it for everybody.. but it also points out kids should be constantly aware of what type group they are associated with. i feel badly for this guy... but it is up to the da's office to rule...

some cnn special told me i was addicted to sugar--- quite rightly i do believe... that refined sugar combined with all the hidden high fructose kind...-- so i have been avoiding it- only a tiny piece of cake last night... however i had switched to tea with honeey in th morning.. it does not really cut the mustard-- so this morning when pam started my usual cuppa coffee.. i said " no sugar....lets try the honey in the coffee"- i have to admit ... it is not all that bad...-- alomst normal coffee... which i do like... tea doesn't seem real... even after a year in brittain-- tea ain't were it's at. honey is supposed to be a more healthy sweatnere. ... no???

lots students are taking video courses in college today--- and how to interview people -- that was not available when i went to colby.. i had to learn to spell, not talk... however.... yesterday's request was from a harvard student-- wants to film sdp... so i said as long as we don't have to do anything but our usual chores...-- sso you might see that happening...
i am expecting eric to somehow transfet the video he has been making -- maybe today... we have one more session here-- and then maybe an airport section and it shoold be ready for viewing...

and i will be going to the SSA office today in thier great wisdom they reduced my monthly from $3000 to $300--- i do not have a clue why... and the person on the phone doesn't know either...-- that 3000 was one of the things greasing the way of SDP--i am not destitute witout it... but i worked alot of years to have that-- and i have a feeling it is just a typo... but now i need to go to the official office. ... with bentley....
remember the discussion abotu the car's computer controlled by tokyo??? -- maybe someone decided to save SSA money by shutting off all 80 year olds and see how many notice.
***like teh details of the AGI insurance rip off. 200,000 policy-- paid in forever..cash value 100,000 - i began to get many notices abotu how it had zero value-- with difficulty i finally got them to admit on paper that it had a cash value of 100,000 - scared me so that i cashed it in..--they saved 100,000--- if i had died they were to pay 200,000-- so they had a 40 year loan of all my money interest free... but that is another story....
***
i better quit/ long day ahead...
