TIM-- WHO WORKS WITH THE CAMERA EQUIPMENT FOR EXPLORE IS A
BRILLIANT- CAPABLE TECH PERSON-- BUT AT THE OTHER END OF TH E PHONE LINE IS
ME --- MORE THAN SLIGHTLY HARD OF HEARING-- WITH A SLIGHT TREMOR-- AND IF IT IS
NOT DOG SLOBBER ON MY GLASSES---. THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ONE EYE
TOO.
ADD THAT TO EXTENSION CORDS WRAPPED AROUND THE RAFTERS (A
FACT) AND MANAGING THE CAMERA IS A CHALLANGE-- BUT TIM HANGS IN THERE AND
EVENTUALLY..... I AM DEFINITELY THE WEAKEST LINK---
YESTERDAY-- ALONG WITH A SOMETIMES FAULTY POWER STRIP-( THAT
SOMETIMES MADE TH E LOGIC VERY DIFFICULT---- THERE
WERE COMPLAINTS THAT THE PICTURE WAS TOO DARK-- HE WAS SOMEWHERE WHERE THE
PHONE KEPT BREAKING UP...,.? ARTIC CIRCLE WITH THE POLAR BEARS???)-
EVENTUALLY I GOT IT FIXED..
DON'T EVER UNDER ESTIMATE DUMB LUCK.-- AS A MATTER OF FACT IF
YOU ARE EVER GIVEN THE CHOICE OF BEING LUCKY OR SMART... CHOOSE
LUCKY....
************
WHICH REMINDS ME...... UNLESS YOU HAVE AN IQ OF 200 AND HAVE A
COLLECTION OF 4 LEAF CLOVERS, DO NOT BUY A BMW.-
?REASON?
BMW HAS A "CREATIVE DESIGN" GROUP WHO MAKE $252,000 A MONTH
DREAMING UP KINKY IDEAS TO HAVE THE BMW HAVE THAT "SPECIAL -NESS"
I HAD TO DRIVE JANINE'S ?COOPER? IT HANDLES BEAUTIFULLY - IF
YOU CAN GET IT GOING..
FIRSTLY--- IT DOES NOT HAVE A INSERT KEY AND
TURN... NO YOU INSERT STRANGE LOOKING KEY-- AND WHILE IT COLLECTS DATA
ABOUT THE CAR... TO REPORT TO THE DEALER WHAT THE DEALER NEEDS TO FIX.... YOU
HAVE TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE THE BUTTON IS THAT WILL START THE
ENGINE....
SECONDLY -- YOU THEN TRY AND LOWER THE WINDOW TO THANK
THE MAN-- AND FIND YOU HAVE ADJUSTED TH E REAR VIEW MIRROR TO STUDY THE REAR
TIRE.
THIRDLY--- YOU TRY AND TURN OFF THE RADIO- AND FIND
THAT TH ERADIO SWITCH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPEDOMETER- AND THE SPEDOMETER IS
OVER THERE IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER'S SEAT.
FORTHLY-- JUST TO POINT OUT HOW HELPLESS YOU ARE IN
THE OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON... AND THE BRAKE IS NOT--
BUT IF YOU GO TO TH E DEALER-- WHO HAS SPECIAL WRENCHES FOR BMW'S ONLY --- HE
CAN TAKE YOUR KEY AND ASK HIS COMPUTER HOW TO GET THE BRAKE LIGHT TO TURN
OFF.. THEN HE CAN CHARGE YOU $729 TIO CHANGE THE OIL.
THERE ARE FACTS IN THAT TIRADE.....TOM HAD A BMW-- AND ALONG
WITH THE 729 $$ OIL CHANGE ... THE TIRES GOT ROTATED FOR $1254 BUT THEY
SERVED HIM COFFEE WHILE THEY WORKED ON HIS CAR-- DETAILING IT EVERY
TIME.
WJERE IS TH E OLD VW BUG NOW???? GREAT CAR.... I COULD CARRY
4 ADULT DANES IN TH E BACK OF MY VW- NO PROBLEM.
********
DOGS....
I WAS BLESSED WITH OVERNIGHT DUTY AS A BUNCH ( MEGAN AN
DHILARY) WENT TO THE NUTCRACKER-- AND I KNOW TH EINDIVIDUAL DOGS ALOT BETTER
NOW..
MAGGIE NEEDS TO START AGILITY WORK--- SHE IS LOOKING FOR A
JOB-- AND WHEN SHE DOES NOT HAVE ONE SHE CHEWS ON HER NEAREST
LITTERMATE.
GINGER IS READY TO WORK AND LEARN-- THINGS LIKE TH E YUPPY --
SHE ALMOST HAS IT-- BUT SHE NEEDS TO BE HANDLED ALONE SO SHE CAN
THINK
IN A GROUP SHE BACKS WAY OFF AND WATCHES...
ALONE WIHT WILLOW - AND SHE RUNS AROUND NORMALLY. NICE
PUP
************
MY COMPUTER IS BACK $99 LATER-- HE SAID I HAD A VIRUS AMONG
OTHER THINGS...
SO I HAVE A BUNCH OF PAPERWORK-- LIKE BILL PAYING WHICH I
REALLY SHOUL DDO WHILE TEH COMPUTER IS LIVE...
MEGAN AND I DID SAMS YESTERDAY AND SHE GOT 10 OR SO GABE OS
FOOD...
AND WE GOT THE CHAIN LINK ORDERED IN SAUGUS
THE WASHER IS A THING OF BEAUTY-- NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO HANG STUFF IN THE ARENA TIL WE GET THE DRYER STARTED.
I THINK WE HAVE A N EXTRA DOG KENNEL RECTANGLE- WHICH MAKE
PERFECT FLUFFY DRYING SUPPORT. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY MORE SCAFFOLDING--
WHICH IS OUR 1ST CHOICE LAUNDRY DRYING DEVICE.
AT SAMS I BOUGHT THE BIGGEST MOST FATENING CAKE I HAVE EVER
SEEN-HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ENCOURAGE VOLUNTEERS TO SHOW UP.
. WE ARE CLOST TO THE TIPPING POINT. STUFF ALL OVER.. OUT OF
PPLACE.
I REMEMBER-- BACK IN LYNNFIELD WHEN I HAD A BUNCH OF KIDS IN
4H WE WOULD TAKE AN HOUR EVERY ONCE IN A WHLIE WHERE I WOULD GO FROM ROOM TO
ROOM IN 4 DIFFERENT BUILDINGS AND HAND AN OBJECT TO A KID WITH THNGS LIKE"PUT
THIS IN THE TACK ROOM IN THE BARN"-- AND THEY WOULD RE DISTRIBUTE ALL WANDERING
ITEMS BACK TO WHERE THEY BELONGED.
THAT IS WHAT WE NEED HERE --- STUFF IS ALL OVER-- AND THE
OVERFLOW ROOM IS... YOU GUESSED IT ... OVERFLOWING...
