THEM ROCKS IS BIG ROCKS !!-- ( THE PILES IN THE YARD FROM MY BARGAIN HUNTING.) THESE ARE NOT THE NICE 3/4 STONES THAT ARE EASILY HEFTED... SOME OF THESE ARE 4" THICK... MAKING MY GOAL OF GETTING THEM INITIALLY IN A TIDY LINE ALONG THE SWING SET GRASS... AND THEN MAKING A PATH OF THEM  TO THE POND... SLIGHTLY MORE DEMANDING THAN MY SHOULDERS HAD BEEN PREPARED FOR.... I PULLED A MIUSCLE IN A PLACE I DID NOT KNOW HAD ANY MUSCLES IN IT./

 

HOWEVER..... I WILL GET THERE-- ESPECIALLY IF EVERYONE MOVES 3 OF THEM EVERY TIME THEY WALK PAST ----YOU SHOULDS SEE THAT PROGRESS FROM THE PUPPY HILL CAMERA   THEY WILL THEN GO BY SMALL TRACTOR TO THE PATHWAY PROJECT. WHERE I FIND ... IT IS LILKE A JIGGSAW PUZZLE....  YOU WALK PAST AND YOU SEE ONE THAT WOULD FIT.... I HAVE ABOUT  2' DONE.. OF A 30 FOOT PATH???  

MIGHT FIT....... A PERFECT COV JOB FOR ANYONE NOT WANTING TO GET THE VACCINES...

 

WE GOT OURSELVES A LOTTA ROCKS !!!

 

 FINISH THE PATH AND THEN I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH ROCKS TO  DO THE "OBSERVATION PLATFORM"  WHICH OBSERVES THE POND AND FOUNTAINS.. AND NEEDS TO HAVE SOME. NEW PIPES IN THE ROOF..... BECAUSE THE TARP ON THE TOP BEGAN TO COLLECT  JUST A TINY BIT OF WATER -- AND WE DID NOT SEE IT INTIME TO SLIT IT WITH A KNIFE .. SORT OF LIKE THOSE ABCESSES DR POL IS CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH..----- ONE SIMPLE SLIT TO DRAIN AND  A DISASTER IS AVOIDED...

THAT IS A NICE PLACE TO SIT... AND IT IS ONE PLACE THAT IS SHADED  MOST OF THE TIME;  WE USE THAT AREA AT DOG FEST FOR THAT REASON...

IF WE DON''T GET IT DONE BY DOGFEST THIS YEAR... THEN YOU ALL CAN PLAN ON HAULING A ROCK OR TWO .

 

THEY ARE HEAVY BUT MANAGEABLE IF YOU " LEAVE THE WEIGHT ON THE GROUND-"  BY ROLLING, OR  TWISTING..  THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THEM IS... ( HERE WE GO... ANOTHER PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE)----  MOMENTUM.

 

"A BODY IN MOTION TENDS TO STAY IN MOTION". NOW IF IT A HEAVY BODY,  IT WILL NOT CARE IF YOUR FINGER IS BETWEEN IT AND A SIMILIAR BODY AT REST THAT WILL TEND TO STAY AT REST...  IT WILL MAKE LIKE THE SPACE YOUR  FINGER WAS TAKING WAS NOT EVEN THERE.... ONE MUST ALWAYS RESPECT A HEAVY OBJECT IN MOTION...---FOR INSTANCE... AT SOUTH STATION  WHERE THE TRAINS COME IN AND BACK OUT... THERE IS A FUNNY TRIANGLE THING TO STOP TEH TRAIN SHOULD TH E BREAKS FAIL AT EVEN   1 INCH AN HOUR. - AND I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF THAT TRIANGLE NOT HOLDING AND THAT TRAIN'S MASSIVE WEIGHT PROCEEDS AT 1 INCH AN HOUR UNTIL IT DARN WELL FEELS LIKE STOPPING SOMEWHERE IN THE WAITING ROOM.

AS FOR BODIES AT REST... HOW ABOUT  TEH SUEZ CANAL?? ------massive and   IT JUST DID NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE FOR DAYS.

-----

Oh why can’t they make physics more interesting for grade school kids...  a lesson we should have learned from   Mcdonalds. “happy meals” —get ‘em young and train them early....  if we could just  start the young minds thinking of in a more logical.... scientific manner...  maybe just maybe  we could plant a few words to make science more user friendly .    with 5 yardsticks and some duct tape you could show a very young child  why there are so many triangles in his world... and then give him the homework to make a list of all the ones he sees ..  junior hi— take  on screwy inclined planes   and  for the high school seniors they could get into toilet flushing 101. At least when I was a kid, my grade school teacher was a woman who “never like math or science anyway”

It was my father who said.    ” leave the weight on the ground.”

n  Ok all you engineers and physics  types out there...  give me a list of basic  principals which are demonstrated by every day kid type  things.   I can see it now.   “

n  “pendulums for  little people “   “fun with bathroom scales..”

Which brings me to cursive writing—now a thing of the past???? And I was shocked to  hear lynn struggled as a kid with paper plates and pencils  trying to understand a clock... instead of a digital time piece.

 IMO-------Digital is inferior...  because... “time is the only true currency” – a digital clock give no visual of  a 3 hour time span.. where a circular clock does...

Putting those 2 together... if a kid needs to write. On paper—they will have to print which will take more time- course paper will be a thing of the past

Paula is due  to be delivered  here may 13 –  I am told.  her first delivery date Is may 19—please all you who keep track of these things..

  PLEASE CHECK THAT DATE WITH HER FIRST COVER AND 63 DAYS.

  Lyn thinks she will have 37 puppies... she is that large.

Hi - Gorgeous day for the walk! Charlotte raised $3000! Thank you again for your generous donation! We all enjoyed the walk at Lynch Park. We worked up quite an appetite and ate outside at a restaurant, first time to do that in fourteen months! Cosmo was fantastic and added to the joy of the day!!! Hope you had a wonderful May Day!
