TWO CONCEPTS TO DEAL WITH TODAY ---- WATER FLOWS DOWN HILL-- AND IF A VERY HEAVY OBJECT IS BALANCED PERFECTLY VERTICALLY, IT HAS NO WEIGHT TO ME STANDING NEXT TO IT.
THE WATER THING.. AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS INSTEAD OF MOTHER NATURE- WHO EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE KNOCKS THE CORPS ON THIER PROVERBIAL ASSS-
I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY WATER CHALLANGE OF THE DAY IN GETTING THTE BATHTUB TO FILL-- THEN EMPTY---SOMEHTING KOHLER CO. SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM DOING.
SO ON TO THE HEAVY OBJECT..-- I LEARNED THIS PUTTIN G UP THE MILES OF FENCING AROUND HERE-- A VERY HEAVY POST-- PERFECTLY VERTICAL HAS ALL IT'S WEIGHT ON THE BOTTOM-- AND CAN BE KEPT IN PLACE WITH A KEEN EYE AND A LITTLE FINGER... OF COURSE IF YOUR EYE IS NOT SO KEEN... THE DARN THING WILL FLATTEN YOU.
SO TODAY--- THE CHALLANGE OF THE 2 VERTICAL OBJECTS--- THE RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM WITH IT'S POST-- AND THE FLAGPOLE.... WITH IT'S 27 FEET.
MY PLAN IS TO PRACTICE WITH THE RAINBOW BRIDGE PLACQUE -- WHICH WAS PURCHASED WITH THE FUN FUND MONEY... THE POST IS SQUARE WITH A DIAGIONAL OF 2".
I FOUND A 3' PIECE OF METAL PIPE 2.25 INCHES IN DIAMETER..-- HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID YOU SHOULD NOT RUN OFF AND BUY THINGS TI LYOU ARE SURE WE DON'T ALREADY OWN IT HERE. I PLAN TO DIG A HOLE WITH THE TRACTOR ( SINCE I HAVE LOST MY FAVORITE POST HOLE DIGGING SPOON....) THEN
CONCRETE THAT PIECE OF PIPE VERTICALLY IN THE HOLE--- SLIDE THE POST IN-- AND MAKE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WITH SAND OR STONE DUST.
THAT IS THE PLAN
THEN MAGNIFY THAT BY 867 AND I PLAN TO SET UP THE FLAGPOLE THE SAME WAY. IT CAME WITH A 4 FOOT SLEVE AND THE VERBAL INSTRUCTION S TO SHELIA TO ADJUST WITH SAND... I HOPE SOME PEOPLE COME ALONG TODAY TO HELP GET IT IN THE HOLE...
NOW HERE COMES TH E TRICKY PART-- NONE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ADDREESS THE PROBLEM OF WATER RUNNING DOWN HILL... AND GETTING STUCK IN A CONCRETE HOLE THUS ERODING WHATEVER IS IN THTAT HOLE.. I KNOW THIS ( EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCE....) THAT FOOLISH DOG BED HAS PIPE IN THE CORMERS INTO WHICH WE SLIP THE PIPE THAT HOLDS UP THE CANNOPY. THOSE CORNER PIPE ARE SEALED-- WATER COLLECTS-- AND RUSTS OUT THE CANOPY PIPES REGULARLY--- THIS IS WHY THE BED US USUALLY LOPSIDED.
DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WITH THE BED... BUT IF THE END OF THE FLAGPOLE GETS SCREWED UP...-- PEOPLE WOULD NOTICE... SO SOMEHOW WE NEED WHAT AMTS TO A MINIATURE DRYWELL FOR THE ENDS OF THOSE TWO PIPES... GOT TO DRAIN THE MOISTURE AWAY. CAN NOT JUST POUR CONCRETE IN THE HOLE WITH THE PIPES..
IF ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL, THEN ALL ACCOMPLISHMENT IS STUPID DETAIL...
I HOPE EXTRAS ARE HERE TODAY
THOSE JOBS SOUND SO SIMPLE UNTIL I RUN OUT OF GAS ABOUT NOON AND FALL ASLEEP WIT MY HEAD ON THE TRACTOR STEERING WHEEL
****************
SHELIA AND COLLEEN ?2? ARE DRIVING DAVID AND DUSTIN BACK TO WESTERN MASS TODAY--
DAVID GOT ALOT OF THINGS ACCOMPLISHED WHILE HE WAS HERE--
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE FINAL 10 TUNNELLS BUT I SAW THE FIRST 8 AND THEY ARE TERRIFIC !!! WE WOULD NOT HAVE GOT THEM DONE BY NOW WITHOUT HIM....
I HOPE HE COMES BACK TO VISIT OFTEN-- THE ROADS ARE PAVED ALL THE WAY FROM WESTERN MASS TO IPSWICH...
************
WE ARE PULLING TOGETHER DETAILS OF THIS OCTOBERFEST BUNCH OF PEOPLE-- FUNNY DETIALS LIKE HOW TO FRY DOUGH.... OR SLING BAGS OF POOP-- AN D OTHER DETIALS LIKE BENCHES-- PORTPOTTIES-- PHOTO AND LIABILITY RELEASES.
*****
I THINK THE MAIN JOB FOR THEM TO HELP WITH IS THE PAINTING OF THE GREEN BARN... THEN THEY CAN ALL GO HOME WITH SOUVENEER GREEN PAINT ON THEIR CLOTHES...
ACTUALLY WE SHOULD WARN EVERYONE TO BRING OLD CLOTHES.... THIS IS NOT A FASHION SHOW KIND OF PLACE.
******
CAMERA DETAILS---
I AM NOT TOO SURE WHY--- BUT TIM HAS REPLACED THE HOUSE CAMERA WITH A CAMERA LIKE TH EPUPPY HILL CAMERA ON A HEAVY DUTY TRIPOD-- WHICH WE CAN MANIPULATE BY GOING ONLINE AND PUSHING BUTTONS. WHAT I AM NOT SURE HE REALIZES IS THAT WE FIRST HAVE TO PHYSICALLY MOVE THE TRIPOD AND CAMERA TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON A DAILY BASIS.. THERE IS NO PLACE TO PUT THT CMER WHERE IT WIL VIDEO BOTH THE WHELPING/PUPPY AREA IN THE TV ROOM AND THE PUPS IN THE PEN IN THE KITCHEN MAYBE IF I TOOK OUT THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR....
AND THE PLAN IS FOR HIM T O WATERPROOF THE "OLD" HOUSE CAMERA FOR SE IN THE T TENT/VPEN AREA
SEEMS BACKWARD... BUT WHAT DO I KNOW... THERE MAY BE WHYFI AND CONNECTION REASONS FAR BEYOND ME.
I WILL JUST MOVE STUFF AROUND AS NEEDED.
*****************
NOW FOR MISS BULGING BELLY --- SCARLOTT
SHE IS GETTING THAT BEACHED WHALE LOOK... AND IS VERY ATTACHED TO ME-
THAT IS A FACT THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO DOG PEOPLE.. WHEN I BORROWED SOMEONE'S DOG TO DO A COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOT, I HAD TO PICK UP THE DOG MYSELF-- A BIT OF A PAIN IN THE NECK IF IT WAS 4AM.... BUT I FOUND-- THAT IF I HIRED SOMEONE ELSE TO PICK UP HTE DOG, THEN THAT PERSON HAD TO BE THE ONE TO HANDLE THE DOG ALL DAY--- THE DOG WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY-- WHERE IF I PICKED UP THE DOG MYSELF, THE I WS THE ATTACHMENT TO IT'S HOME/OWNER AND IT WOULD BE DEVOTED TO ME ALL DAY.
THIS MAY BE WHY SCARLTT IS ATTACHED TO ME... I MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO HANDLE HER THE FIRST TIME BETSY LEFT... SO I BECAME HER SUBSTITUTE OWNER.,
JUST ONE OF THOSE EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCES... DETAILS OF ANIMAL MANAGEMENT
********
WHICH REMINDS ME-- ONE LAST QUICKEI DETSAIL
WHE WE WENT TO THE PARTY THE OTHER NIGHT DAVID LOADEDD DUSTIN IN SHELIA'S CAR-- THEN DAN TRIED TO LOAD LOGAN AND HD TROUBLE... THE USUL THOUGHT-- OH LOGAN THE PUPPY DOESN'T LOAD WELL..
COULD BE A LITTLE OF THAT... BUT NO WAY WILL A SMART DOG JUMP TOWARD A DOMINANT ONE.... WHICH IS WHAT A JUMP INTO THE CAR WOULD BE...
SAME WITH MY 8 MINI DONKEYS WE USED TO TRANSPORT--- LOAD THE BOSS LAST.
************
DAVID IS PACKED READY-- I HVE ENCOURAGED HIM TO RETURN AND FIX THE REST OF THE PLACE THAT IS IN DISARRAY
********
SO ON WE GO
