MAIL CALL -AKA "CAN YOU TOP THIS? "
 WATTA DAY

OF COURSE-- BAILEY-

- BUT THEN A VOLUNTEER WHO HAS SAID CHASING PUPS IS BETTER PT SO HAS BEEN SAVING "CO PAYS" TO SEND US---

AND THEN THERE ISTHE CARDBOARDS WITH "SH#T HAPPENS" IN 55 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ALL SANDWICHED WITH ONE DOLLAR BILLS.

THEN 2 PEOPLE WITH NO CONNECTION BOTH "I'VE HAD THIS 2 DOLLAR BILL KICKING AROUND FOR YEARS"

AND DON'T FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO SEND US ONE DOLLAR ARE OUR MAINSTAY-

A COUPLE CHECKS- FOR MORE THAN ONE DOLLAR

SORRY I DON'T LIST YOUR NAMES, I AM TOO AFRAID I WILL GET THEM WRONG-

**********************

ALL THAT CAUSED ME -- N THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT-- TO DECIDE IT IS TIME TO UPGRADE THE T TENT FACILITY-- POOR EARLENE DOES YOEMANS SERVICE MANAGING THE FOOD IN WHAT HAS BECOME ONE OF NORTH SHORE'S FAVORITE EATING PLACES

WELL MAYBE NOT QUITE--- BUT I BET WE GO THRU MORE WATER/SODA THAN MANY SMALL RESTAURANTS ON SUNDA AFTERNOON.

ALL OUT OF THAT APT SIZE FRIDGE-- FOR OPENERS...

RIDICOULOUS !

AND THEN AFTER EVERYONE LEAVES ALL THE LEFTOVERS--- WHICH WE LOVE--- AND KEEP US FED THRU THURSDAY LUNCH- END UP IN THE HOUSE...

 YESTERDAY I BOUGHT SOME VEGGIES-- AND I HAD TO USE THE SODA COOLER FROM THE T TENT FOR MY VEGGIES-- WITH ICE FROM THE CELLAR BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AN OUNCE OF ROOM IN THE HOUSE FRIDGE.  MY  CURRENT IS IN THE COOLER IN THE HALL....

SO I ASKED EARLENE TO THINK OF SOMETHING-- WITHOUT LOSING IT'S OUTDOOR CHARM..

I MENTIONED IT TO SHELIA WHO IMMEDIATELY SAID SHE KNEW A COUPLE USED RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT PLACES--

LOVE IT...

LOVE STAINLESS STEEL

OUR GROOMING TABLE WAS ONCE A PIZZA MAKING TABLE FROM THE SS JUNKYARD THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS YEARS AGO..

AND THAT HUGE WONKIN AWKWARD CORNER PIECE MARK USES WITH HIS GRILL --- WAS $35-- NEW IT WAS $3000

LOVE USED RESTUANT EQ.

******************

THERE IS NO END TO POSSIBIITIES... INCLUDING-- THAT T TENT IS THE MOST USED BUILDING ON TH E PROPERTY ON A SUNDAY... ANOTHER 10 FEET BEHIND THE FIREPIT WOULD BE FUN--

WE JUST NEED MORE COBBLESTONE.. AND SOME LUNBER.

YOU KNOW---- I CUT DOWN THE TREES THAT MADE THE LUMBER TO BUILD THE T-TENT.....-- THE 2X6 RAFTERS ARE GEORGE MYERS OLD FENCE WHEN HE REPLACED IT WITH VINYL FENCING.. AND THE COBBLESTONSES.. WELL I JUST CARRIED A SCREWDRIVER IN MY VAN... AND "FOUND" MOSTO OF THEM.

IT WOULD BE HARD TO KEEP IT IN CHARACTER-- BUT WE COULD TRY--- JUST DON'T BUY THE BUILDING MATERIALS...ANOTEHR 10 FEET WOULD BE NICE... LEAKING ROOFS JUST ADD CHARACTER...

***************

IN THAt vein-- in prep for october... the FLOOR BENEATH MY CHAIR DOES BOUNCE JUST A LITTLE WHEN ANYONE WALKS BY--- EVEN EARLENE-- SO MAYBE SHEILA AND I ON OUR OUTING COULD BUY A COUPLE OF THOSE IROM SCREW UP POSTS (?LOLLY COLUMNS?) 2 2X6'S WITH A PIECE OF PLYWOOD BETWEEN THEM INTO A BEAM -- WEDGED INTO THE CEILING BENEATH MY CHAIR WOULD HAVE TO HELP.. IT IS PURELY A PHYSICS PROBLEM

 YOU KNOW... STUFF LIKE GRAVITY

THIS HOUSE IS USED-- IT WAS MEANT TO BE USED...

MIGHT NEED JUST A LITTLE HELP HERE AND THERE

*****************

ALSO I ORDERED  THE PORCH LEXAN-- I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS COMING FROM -- BUT THE 4X8 SHEETS ARE $160 FOR THE FREIGHT.

I GOT TIRED OF CALLING AROUND HERE -- HOME DEPOT HAS WINDOW SIZE... NOT PORCH SIZE--

************

SO THINGS ARE HAPPENING...

**************

BECKY SUGGESTS VERY STRONGLY THAT YOU DO NOT ORDER A HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH AT SALSBURY BEACH-- SHE HAD THE " 2 EXITS NO WAITING" PROBLEM LAST NIGHT AND WAS SURE SHE WAS GOING TO DIE..

 SHE IS HERE TODAY -- TOTALLY CURED-- AND CLEANED OUT.

*******************
THERE IS SOO MUCH TO REPORT

"LORD THY SEA IS SO GREAT AND MY BOAT IS SO SMALL"     FEELING

*************
LEAVING YOU WITH A FACT

"ARGUEING WITH GEORGE IS SOOO MUCH BETTER IF WE BOTH HAVE ON OUR HEARING AIDS"
