WHO KNEW???
--AND IT IT BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE FALL-- EXCEPT WHEN IT IS 90 DEGREES... BUT THERE AE LEAVES TURNING IN PLACES...
MY MOTHER-- OF PURPLE LOOSESTRIFE FAME-- SAID THE TREES THAT TURN EARLY ARE NOT HEALTHY.
WE HAVE A LEAF CAMERA YOU REALIZE.... THERE IS A CAMERA ON THE END OF THE T TENT LOOKING UP AT THE TREES--- I HAVE NOT CHECKED LATELY-- BUT THE CAMERA IS STILL PHYSICALLY THERE... AND THE LITTLE PHOTO IN THE EXPLORE GROUP IS "LEAF FALL" WHICH I JUST CHECKED- AND IT IS OFF CAMERA NOW..
THE BLURB ALONG SIDE THE CURRENTLY BLACK SCREEN DESCRIBES THE CHANGE OF COLORS IN ONE SPECIFIC TREE.... NEVER NOTICED....NOW I WILL HAVE TO WATCH THAT...
LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY....
****************
I WAS VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT MARALYN ( WHO WAS HERE YESTERDAY) HAD TRIED TO WRAP HER SANDWICH IN A PIECE OF WRAP THAT SHE HAD TORN OFF TOO SHORT.... AND SHE REMEMBERED THE NUTTY IDEA THAT I DID LAST FRIDAY OF TURNING IT MORE DIAGONALLY AND IT WORKED...
**************
THAT HAS "GONE AROUND" --- AS HAS THE REACTION TIME OF DROPPING A YARDSTICK BETWEEN SOMEONE'S FINGERS AS A TEST OF REACTION TIME-- THEN RYA DN DO IT WHILE TYPING ON THE PHONE WITH YOUR OTHER HAND..... REALLY DEMO'S WHY NOT TO TEXT IN A MOVING CAR AND I GET REPORTS ON IT'S USE.
***************
WE NEED TO STOCK UP ON FROZEN PEAS---ASIDE FROM THROWING THEM IN THE STEWS... THEY ARE VERY HANDY TO APPLY TO INJURIES...OF WHICH WE HAD ONE YESTERDAY
STEVE WAS WEED WHIPPING ON THE ISLAND AND STRUCK A G ROUND WASP NEST--- THEY ARE REALLLLLLLY BAD AND HE RAN OFF THE ISLAND BATTING AWAY -- BUT STILL GOT STUNG 4 TIMES-- THE ONE ON HIS EAR WAS PARTICUARLY PAINFUL.. I MUST DON A TYVEK SUIT AND GO HAVE A LOOK AT IT TODAY... IT WOULD BE FUN... IF I WAS YOUNGER AND MORE AGILE TO THROW A NET OVER THIER EXIT HOLE, THE SCOOP THEM ALL UP AND THROW THEM IN THE POND. I HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE LUCK WITH THOSE AND CHEMICALS... EXCEPT MAYBE KEROSENE AND A MATCH
WHICH BRINGS TO MIND THE STORY......OF MOSQUITOS AND THE OLD DEAGLE HOUSE
TO KEEP DEAGLE COMFORTABLE I PUT A FAN BLOWING OUT THE DOOR-- TO WHICH I ADDED A CLOTH NETTING LIKE A BIG BUTTERFLY NET... SO I COULD CATCH WHATEVER I WAS BLOWING OUT... AND I DID CATCH THINGS-- FAR MORE THAN THE MOSQUITO MAGNET ON WHICH I HAD SPENT CONSIDERABLE MONEY...
THE GAME WAS TO GRAB AND TWIST THE NET AND SPRAY RAID ON THE CAPTURED MILLIONS.
THE PROBLEM WAS--- THE CAN OF RAID DID NOT KILL THE BUGS AT ALL--- SO I STEPPED ON TH E TWISTED NET... THAT WORKED..NEVER AGAIN TO SPEND MONEY ON THE RAID TYPE PRODUCTS..
SO MY MILLLION DOLLAR INVENTION THAT I WISH SOMEONE WOULD TRY ----IS TO RIG A LAWN MOWER INTO A FAN ABOUT 6 INCHES OFF THE GROUND....WITH AND EXIT NET-- AND TRY "VACUMMING" THE YARD BEFORE COOKOUTS INSTEAD OF SPRAYING-- WHICH I FOUND A USELESS EXPENSE.. THE ADS KEEP TELLING YOU THOSE CHEMICALS WORK-- SO MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE THE ADS-- I NO LONGER BELIEVE A WORD....WITH MY METHOD-- YOU GET TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE CAUGHT..
DOW CHEMICAL WOULD BE REALLLLY MAD IF IT WORKED... BUT YOUR DOG WOULD NOT BE LICKING DEET OFF HIS PAWS EITHER...
GRASS CUTTING IN SHORTS ( IN MY YOUTH) ALSWAY GOT ME MANY MOSQUITO BITES ON MY ANKLE\S... SO I HAVE ASSUMED-- IF THEY ARE RESTING IN THE GRASS I COULD BEST CAPTURE THEM AS THEY START TO ATTACK, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO EXPIRIMENT WITH THE ANGLE OF THE FAN...
DON'T LAUGH-----REMEMBER THEY ALL LAUGHED WHEN I TRIED TO INVENT THE SHEE WEE WITH MY FEET POINTED THE WRONG WAY IN THE LADIES ROOM STALLS... NOW IT IS SOLD TO WOMEN ON POLICE DEPARTMENTS..
SO THERE.
*********
TO WORK--- I MUST WORK ON THE DOGFEST IDEAS... I BOUGHT ALOT OF PAINT FOR COLORS... IF ANY OF YOU HAVE TINY QUANTITIES OF BRIGHT COLORS YOU MIGHT ..... JUST TRY AND EXPLAIN THAT TO THE SECURITY AT AIRPORTS... WE HAVE PLENTY--- AND THEN THERE IS ALWAYS MIXING THOSE...
I HOPE EARLENE WILL BE HERE TODAY-- SHE HAD SAID SHE WOULD WORK TIL SEPT 1 WHEN SHE STARTED BABY SITTING HER GREAT GRANDCHILD.
SOLD OUT CELEBRATION TODAY -- THE BOARD MUST BE SOLD OUT-- LAST NIGHT THERE WERE ONLY 16 BRICKS LEFT.
I WAS SHOCKED TO HAVE SOMEONE COME HERE APPLYING FOR A DOG-- NEVER HEARD OF THE CHICKEN BRICKS AND THE $10 DONATIONS THAT KEEP US AFLOAT -- KEEP THE WORD CIRCULATING-- IT TAKES MANY THOUSANDS OF $$ TO RUN THIS OPERATION-- BUT THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY OF YOU , THAT THE $10 BRICKS DO WORK.... CRAZY ACRES IS SOMEWHAT OF A COOP... BB'S ( BRICK BUYERS) ARE ALWAYS WELCOME
