I CAN TRY AND POST THE PERFECT PICTURE...

CAUGHT THE PURPLE EGG IN MID DROP..
IT WAS SUCCESSFUL--MAY NEED A FEW ADJUSTMENTS...THE EGG DROPPED WAS A 2 MINUTE BOILED  STORE BOUGHT EGGBY BOILING,  I WAS TRYING TO FORTIFY THE SHELL A BIT  WHICH HAD CRACKEDBY THE TIME IT HIT THE DECK... BUT IT ( THE YOKE) LANDED SQUARELY ONA NUMBER-   I DID "RUN" A SECOND EGG FOR "RUNNER UP"  WHICH WAS SLIGHTLY MOREUNCRACKED BEFORE IT LANDED...

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS...THE PURPLE  SECTION NUMBERS WERE PLACED IN A HORSE SHOE SHAPPED AROUND THE LAUNCHING PAD... AND THRU TESTING -- I FOUND THE EGG COUDL DROP IN ANY DIRECTION ESPECIALLY IF IT HITS THE RUBBER BANDS AS BUMPERS.
IT IS AN INTERESTING ADDITION TO THE REGULAR "BOARD" WHEN IT SELLS OUT...

I WONDER IF I CAN GET  A POSTER MADE FROM IT FOR DOG FEST...--ANOTHER EXPERIMENT TO TRY..

******

THE MOST EXCITING THING-- ASIDE FROM T HE PURPLE EGG- WAS THAT  A BUSINESS MAN HAD HEARD OF US AND  CAME TO ASK WHAT ON EARTH WE DID--TURNS OUT HE IS WITH A MEDICAL COMPANY WITH WHOM WE HAVE ALOT OF CONNECTING ISSUES..   INCLUDING WEEKLY FLIGHTS TO AND FROM EUROPE !!!  LET US PRAY...

ON GOING SAGAS.....

THE DONKEY.... IS STILL IN TEXAS... SLIGHT PROBLEM... TOUGH TO TRANSOPORT WITH HORSES... BECAUSE THE NORMAL HORSE IS AFRAID OF A DONKEY..  AND THEY COULD NOT GET HER ON THE TRAILER WITH THEM-- OR THEM WITH HER.....  PLUS THEY WERE DOING A PREGNANCY EXAM TO SEE JUST HOW PREGNANT SHE IS..... I KNOW IT IS BETTER TO SHIP MOTHER AND BABY- THA N IT IS TO SHIP ONE THAT IS TOO  FAR ALONG...I ALSO KNOW IN THE FRONT OF ALL THOSE EXPENSIVE "RACE HORSE VANS" THAT LITERALLY CRISS CROSS THE COUNTRY ON  A SCHEDULE NOT UNLIKE THE GREYONUND BUS SCHEDULE.. THERE IS A "BOX STALL"   THAT IS HOW MARY GOT HERE.. MUCH TO THE DISGUST OF THE DRIVER  WHO WAS MUCH MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE THOROBREDS IN TEH VAN-- NOT A DONKEY !!

THERESA WILL BE IN TODAY-- BACK FROM HER VACATION-  AND WILL DEAL  WITHTHE MEDICAL FORMS NEEDED BY THE ACCREDITATION COMMITTEE

*ON THAT TOPIC..

..  I COULD LOOK THIS UP---ON PPER SOMEWHERE--- FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES, HOW MWNY OF OUR RECIPIENTS HAVE PARKINSONS?   COULD YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH PK AS TEH SWUBJECTSAME FOR MS RECIPIENTS--  I WOULD LIKE A COUNT....

**********

STEVE SUGGESTED A CALENDAR SHOT OF VETERANS  WITH DOGS FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY-  I ASKED IF HE STILL HAD HIS UNIFORM, AT WHICH POINT HE STOOD UP STRAIGHTER AND TRIED TO PULL IN  HIS EXPANDING WAISTBAND... SLIGHT AS IT IS... I BET THIS IS A GENERIC PROBLEM WITH ALL VETS-- THIER UNIFORMS FIT BETTER WHEN THEY WERE IN THE MILITARY AND HAVE EXPANDED SINCE  DISCHARGED... HMMMMM...

AND---- DID I EVER GET RESPONSES TO THE CALIFORNIA NEED FOR GREAT LAKES WATER..

.I REMEMBER....... WHEN I LIVED IN LYNNFIELD- THERE WAS A PIECE OF PROPERTY WHICH HAD A NATURAL SPRING ON IT... WHICH WAS BOUGHT BY THE PEPSI COMPANY AFFILIATE...  1970 ISH???I MADE THE FOOLISH  COMMENT THEN  ---

 " WHO WOULD SPEND GAS MONEY TRUCKING WATER AROUND??"

 HOW WRONG COULD I HAVE BEEN???   THE BASIC PROBLEM  IS    "THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR WATER" ---

***

MY DECISION TO BUY THIS PROPERTY WAS INFLUENCED BY THE LAKE ACROSS THE STREET... THERE ARE 2 LOTS HERE--- MY LATE HUSBAND BOUGHT THE ONE WITH THE HOUSE-- AND I BOUTGHT THE ADJECENT ONE WHICH HAD A RIGHT OF WAY TO THAT LAKE -- IN COLOINIAL TIMES, THE DEED WAS WRITEN THAT  RIGHT OF WAY WAS TO DRIVE MY STOCK TO THE LAKE FOR DRINKING WATER.-- 

I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT  "WATER FOR MY ANIMALS"  MORE THAN ONCE...  WE HAD A HOUSE FIRE IN LYNNFIELD AND TEH HOUSE PROVIDED THE PUMP AND WELL WATER FOR THE BARN- WHICH AT THAT TIME HAD OVER 12 HORSES IN IT. I SPENT  THAT WINTER WITH A 55 GALLON DRUM IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK-- AND IT BECAME A FULL TIME  JOB TO KEEP THE HORSES WATERED AND THE DRUM NOT FROZEN SOLID...

THEN WE MOVED HERE --  HAD A WELL-  AND ARE AT THE END OF THE ELECTRICAL "SYSTEM" FOR IPSWICH.. WHICH MEANT EVERY TIME WE LOST POWER  I HAD AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM---- NO WELL WATER..

.WE NOW HAVE  THE LUXURY OF TOWN WATER...

IN MY OPINION.....HAVING GOOD DRINKING WATER IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH TRASH COLLECTION-- WE FORGET OUR TAX MONEY GOES FOR THAT STUFF TOO.  ( ALONG WITH $250 TOILET SEATS... GRANTED)

I CAN'T WAIT TIL THE  POLITICAL DEBATE-- IT IS THURSDAY?? --

 NOW THAT HAS GOT TO BE RIGHT UP THERE IN THE AMUSEMENT DEPARTMENT....
