OUR "GOLDIE" ( GHOST OF THE LEFT HAND DRAWER) DOES AMAZING THINGS EVER SINCE WE LEARNED TO PAY Attention to her.... she did 2 things yesterday...
she has taken my glasses from me--- they are usually on my nose- or on my head--- since they are neither,i have had to resort to our bushell basket of odd glasses all you camera people have sent us. the reason she took them was, i am sure- the fault of teh 2 pieces of scotch tape which was holding one of the lens almost in correct position.. i think i heard her say "i am going to take these things from you so you will go get your eyes examined and go buy a pair with 2 lenses" -- i am getting close..... the pair from the bushell basket is not bad...... but..
the second thing---- having exhausted myself cleaning off only 6 feet of teh shelf in the 10 x 18 foot closet( aka teh "shop" )..... i was shocked to see 15 people from the local church standing by our welcome hut looking to me for a job to do as their community service... thank you goldie.... !!
"i hope you can help me clean out a closet" was putting it mildly - but 2 hours later teh shop was empty and swept-- and teh 2 picnic tables and 5 "conference " tables were piled high... looking like a second ( or third) rate gaRAGE SALE---OR AS WHAT USED TO BE CALLED MORE APPROPRIATELY -- A RUMMAGE SALE"
I HAD FIGURED SINCE TEH DUMPSTER IS RIGHT THERE, TEH PROCESS WOULD BE EASY.... BUT HAVING SEEN THE QUANTITY OF THE SITUATION, I BACKED UP OUR BIG DUMP TRAILER AND PRAY THAT WILL BE BIG ENOUGH..-
THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN MY FAVOR... THE COVERED PLASTIC CONTAINERS THAT THE MEAT COMES IN ALLOW ME TO SORT PRETTY WELL... WHILE I PLAYED "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" WITH THE HUGE MOUND OF #$%^&*(.
NOT ALL IS #$%^&*. LIKE THE TRAIN STEAM WHISTLE-- OR MY COLLECTION OF OLD HINDGES..- I AM ASHAMED AT ONE FULL TABLE OF FLUIDS - TEH EXACT CONTENT YET TO BE DISCOVERED.. I HAVE ENOUGH PAINT ROLLERS FOR EVERYONE I KNOW TO HAVE ONE IN EACH HAND.. WHICH ONLY GOES TO SHOW THE SUCCESSFUL MARKETING OF TEH TIDY PAACKAGE OF PAINT TRAY, ROLLERS AND HANDLE- WHICH I MUST HAVE KEPT BUYING WHEN I ONLY NEEDED ROLLERS. VERY SIMILAR TO MY DRILL BIT FASCINATION.
LET ME EXPLAIN IN DETAIL FOR THOSE WHO DON.T OFTEN DRILL HOLES IN THINGS... IT IS POSSIBLE TO DRILL A PERFECT HOLE FOR A DOOR KNOB WITH A NORMAL HAND DRILL- THE "PACIKAGE" COMES WITH GRADUATED HOLE CUTTERS FROM ABOUT 1/2 INCH TO DOOR KNOB SIZE-- MAYBE 6 OF THEM- WITH AN ODD SHAPED THING TO HOLD IT IN THE DRILL-- THE WAY IT GOES IS... YOU USE TEH 1" DRILL TO CUT A HOLE SOMEWHERE... BUT THE ODDS OF GETTING THAT ODD SHAPED THING BACK TO THE COLLECTION OF HOLE CUTTERS IS SLIM TO NONE. WHOEVER "THEY" ARE.. KNOW FULL WELL I WILL NEED TO BUY ANOTHER CENTER THING WHERE AT HOME DEPOT IT IS NEATLY PACKAGED $8.99 FOR TEH CENTER THING AND $9.99 FOR THE WHOLE KIT -
THUS EXPLAINETH ONE PART OF THE DISASTER OF WHAT IS THE CONTENTS OF MY SHOP.
THE OTHER PART IS...MY WHOLE PHILOSOPHY OF CONSTRUCTION /REPAIR.... IS TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING-- AND BECAUSE I AM PAYING THEM, I FIGURE THEY SHOULD PROVIDE MY EDUCATION AT THE SAME TIME ... SO THAT NEXT TIME I JUST BUY ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY USE WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT SO EASY- AND IF I ONLY USE IT ONCE I WILL FINANCIALLY BE AHEAD.
THIS EXPL;AINS TEH $250 CEMENT MIXER I USED TO GLUE DOWN TEH "G- TENT" INSTEAD OF TEH $10,000 A CONTRACTOR WANTED TO PUT IN THE ANCHORS.
OR------ TEH TINY FACT OF KNOWING MOST WALLS ARE 16 INCHES ON CENTER HAS SAVED ME THOUSANDS IN CONSTRUCTION. I KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO "PUT UP A WALL...
NOT VERY LONG....
