We did not pay attention to a tiny puddle forming in the canvas of the roof in some rain storm.. and by the time we noticed it again the tiny puddle had grown to a tremendous weight which pulled down the canvas and bent some significant pipe that was holding it up -----now if we'd gone and made the tiny slit in the tiny puddle we wouldn't have this problem or if we did what people sometimes forget is that might make another tiny puddle form somewhere else to also be slit. in the canvas and we would have to pay attention to be sure that wasn't growing to be a reservoir that would pull down the pipe----- at any rate the pipe is bent... making it obvious to the world we didn't pay enough attention to the whole thing.. this does not stop everyone from explaining to me I should have made a little slit etc and I know that----- however now I have to fix the pipe so that people will stop explaining to me how stupid I've been not to make a little slit and let it drain..
to do this---a ladder will have to be involved--- of course -----we have lovely ladders and it has become obvious to me I am safer in the yard climbing a ladder... that I am trying to take a bath in a house alone.
at least in the yard if I fall off the ladder somebody is bound to recognize it... if I fall in the bathtub and there's nobody in the house survival is not guaranteed. The fact that there is no one in the house 24 hours a day at the moment... is being addressed but the fact remains that tonight it will be me larcky sisal and Gemini... so what's the answer I just don't bathe for five days till we get till we get organized????---
Bathtubs are dangerous... and I always very carefully hang my Pennant I've fallen and I can't get up pendant.. right next to the bathtub.. the last time I slipped in the tub and had to try and get my feet back underneath me it was a very major project and I could see it could be disastrous.. I've just heard that one of my friends from Lynnfield. has fallen it is now in a nursing home... my. children I've been very careful to point this out to me... and have suggested I get the ladder and stand there in the yard look helpless somebody will come along and actually fix the damn pipe..
there are enough people here--- who benefit by the very existence of crazy acres that somehow there are a lot of tiny little jobs which really have to be done by those taking advantage of the existence of crazy acres..
most notably at the moment is what Pam used to do.. it was her job to take a pair of scissors and snip the bottom of every vine trying to go up a tree between the gate and the street and you can see on the trees her work because there's dead vines a lot of places---- however since she died nobody has paid attention to the vines so I have given that chore to matts friend---- every time I go up and down the Driveway I am annoyed at the fact that's a big tree at the bottom of the driveway has about 10 vines crawling up it it wouldn't take 5 minutes to snip the bottom of those vines... but it becomes a symbol of getting ignored doing it later...
and while I was thinking of that. Matt and friend walk by 2 instant on generators. one for the laundry building and one for the barn. I am told by. bud of course. that there should be a green light showing at all times----if that green light is either gone-- yellow--- or red we need to address that problem immediately because the generator has a problem.. now wqtching those 2 grenerators only takes a slight turning of your eyes... to chick the house generator would involve walking 60 feet up and down a hill... I don’t think that is too much to ask...... and I have not asked it yet... but I will today-- and that tree at the bottom of the drive will remind me.
I would never ask. anyone to do something I would not ... or have not done myself....but that leaves a lot of room.... so get ready...i think free rides are immoral
