LORDY..... IT IS CAKE DAY !! UNUSUAL FOR IT TO BE SUNDAY THE 19TH... THEY WILLL EITHER GET IT TODAY OR TOMORROW.. BUT KEEP UP THE SPIRIT...
*****
I REALLY WAS UP ON SCHEDULE 5AM... BUT I HAVE BEEN WRITING A FACT SHEET OF ANSWERS TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED- OR IMPLIED AT THE MEETING...
SO RATHER THAN WRITE MORE, I WILL COPY AND PASTE SOME.. SOME OF THEM MIGHT READ THIS... IT IS UN-OFFICIAL-- WE ARE HAVING A BOARD MEETING ON TUESDAY, AND THIS NOTIDCE WOULD HAVE TO BE FINALIZED BY THEM... BUT HERE ARE SOME CONCEPTS.
*****************
I WISH YOU WOULD COME THRU ONE OF THE GATES OR UP THE DRIVEWAY AND HAVE A LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE WITH THIS BUILDING AND OTHERWISE.. DO NOT BE A STRANGER. WELL, BETTER YET , BE A STRANGER WHO HELPS..
FACT # 1---- YESTERDAY AFTER COFFEE AND WRITING THE DAILY DOGGIE, I STARTED FOR THE OUTDOOR OFFICE OF THE “T-TENT” AND SOME GUY WAS CUTTING THE LAWN- I DID NOT HAVE A CLUE WHO HE WAS... BUT OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT OUR LAWN NEEDED MOWING.. HE FOUND A TRACTOR AND STARTED MOWING.... PERFECT-- I COULDN’T BE MORE PLEASED.. THERE IS ONE HARD AND FAST RULE HERE- THAT IS AFTER A QUICK LOOK AROUND, FIND A WAY TO MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL IN ANY WAY-FROM HANDING OUT DOG TREATS TO FOLDING LAUNDRY THERE IS SOME WAY FOR EVERYONE TO HELP- SIT IN THE T-TENT AND ANSWER THE PHONE... THERE IS SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN DO. AND IF YOU ARE THE FIRST TO GET THE FRESH EGGS OUT OF THE HEN HOUSE-TAKE AND ENJOY THEM .
TOPICS THAT WIERE BROUGHT UP......
---“WHY DO YOU NEED ANOTHER BUILDING?” REASON FOR -“ONE MORE BUILDING”- IS THAT THE REST OF THE PLACE ARE ALL MADE OF WOOD WHICH REGARDLLESS OF THE CHOLROX CAN NOT BE REALLY CLEAN. WE NEED A CONCRETE STRUCTURE THAT WE CAN POWER SPRAY WITH CHLOROX SOLUTION IF WE NEED TO. ... AND WE DO..
CURRENTLY-I WISH WE HAD IT NOW... GEORGE SAID THERE WAS A CASE OF CANINE FLU IN IPSWICH-AND WE HAVE SEVERAL DOGS NOW LOOKING LETHARGIC AND RUNNING A HIGH TEMP.. THEY SEEM TO BE RECOVERING WITH TREATMENT, BUT I WOULD FEEL A LOT BETTER IF WE COULD ISOLATE THEM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO ISOLATE THEM IN THE HOUSE.. IF THERE IS ANYTHING WORSE THAN A DOG VOMITING, IT IS ONE WITH PROJECTILE DIAREHA- I HAVE HAD 30 YEARS OF COPING- I HAVE A HOOK IN MY KITCHEN CEILING TO DRIP IV RINGERS SOLUTION INTO SICK DOGS.
TIME HAS COME TO DO BETTER. I NEED EPOXY COVERED CONCRETE.

THE REST OF THAT STORY IS---- PARTERIDGEBERRY PLACE LUMBER BUILT ALL THOSE WOODEN KENNELS WHICH WE NOW USE---- AS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS BEING BUILT, I NOTICED THE AMT OF LUMBER BEING THROWN AWAY IN THE DUMPSTER NIGHTLY- IT MAYBE WAS NOT PERFECT FOR YOUR HOUSES, BUT IT SURE WORKED WELL FOR MY KENNELS. THE BUILDER WAS HAPPY FOR ME TO TAKE IT- THAT WAS LESS HE HAD TO PAY TO GET RID OF.-SO I WOULD PARK MY “DUMP TRAILER” NEXT TO THE HOUSE BEING BUILT AND THE WORKMEN WOULD THROW UNUSABLE LUMBER IN IT WHICH I WOULD EMPTY DAILY. I ENDED UP WITH A 70 X 10 FOOT PILE ABOUT 6’ HIGH. MY FAMILY WAS FURIOUS ABOUT THE PILE. EVENTUALLY WE EITHER USED IT IN CONSTRUCTION OR HEATED THE HOUSE..
THERE ARE A LOT OF AMUSING STORIES ABOUT THE BUILDING YOUR PARTERIDGEBERRY PLACE- LIKE THE NIGHT I WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN MINUS 20 CHICKENS -NOT A FEATHER REMAILED...IT WAS NOT A RACCOON-RACCOONS COULD HAVE KILLED 20 BUT WOULD TYPICALLY HAVE ONLY EATEN THE HEADS AND LEFT THE REST... THE NEXT DAY ONE OF THE WORKMEN THERE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO SAY “ WE GIVE YOU EXTRA WOOD NO?” I ORDERED MORE CHICKS AND WENT ON.. TWO WEEKS LATER MY HUGE TURKEY WAS GONE... WITHOUT A TRACE. I WAS VERY GALD TO HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION OVERWITH , AS THE NEXT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY MINI COWS.
THEN THERE WAS THE TRAIL... WHEN THE DEVELOPER BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, PANIC SET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE WILLOWDALE STATE FOREST TRAILS BEHIND ME... SO I MOVED MY FENCE INSIDE THE PROPERTY LINE 3 FEET.. AND I MET WITH THE GUY WHO SEEMED TO BE IN CHARGE OF CLEAR CUTTING THE FOREST--- THERE WAS/ IS A SMALL STREAM BEHIND ME WHICH TRAIL PEOPLE WERE HAVING TO JUMP... SO I THREATENED HIM--- IF HE WANTED TO BUY MY SILENCE ABOUT THE NOISE OF HIS SAWS AT 5AM, HE WOULD HAVE TO BUILD THAT BRIDGE. HE APPEARED THE NEXT DAY WITH A FULL CREW, AND BUILT THAT BRIDGE...WHICH IS STILL USED... I KNOW - SOMETIMES THREATS ARE USEFUL... ENJOY THE BRIDGE...IT WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY INTO TO THE WILLOWDALE STATE FOREST- WHICH WILL THEN CONNECT WITH THE BAY STATE TRAIL TO CAPE COD. .AND IF YOU NEED PARKING. I WOULD NOT MIND A CAR OR TWO BEHIND THE WHITE MONSTER.
AS YOU WANDER WILLODALE, I AM TOLD..... THE REASON THERE IS SOMETIMES A HELECOPTER CIRCLING OVERHEAD IS .....I AM TOLD ...IT IS AUTHORITIES LOOKING FOR MARIJUANA PATCHES BEING GROWN IN
THE FOREST. I HAVE NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF THAT... BUT THOSE HELECOPTERS CIRCLE A LONG TIME SOMETIMES...
THIS MAKES ME SMILE AT THE PEOPLE WHO USE THAT PATH-I WONDER WHICH OF THEM MIGHT BE THE ONES TENDING TO THE HIDDEN PATCH???? NOT MY PROBLEM....
LIQUOR-- THE ONLY LIQUOR ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY IS THE BOTTLE OF BLACKBERRY BRANDY NEXT TO CARLENE'S BED FOR ONE SHOT/DAY AS A SLEEPING AID.(NEXT TO THE BRANDY SHE HAS A VERY GENEROUS SIZE SHOT GLASS.)
ODORS - DUMPSTER----THERE IS WELL DOCUMENTED NO DOGGIE SMELL- AS ALL SOLID DOG WASTE IS COLLECTED AND BAGGED WITH A POO PICKING SYSTEM WHICH IS 3X6 CARDBOARDS, MADE BY RECYCLING CEREAL BOXES , PREPARED AND SENT BY HUNDREDS(?THOUSANDS?) OF WORLDWIDE "CAMERA PEOPLE" .
IF THE SALEM NEWS SAID MY DAUGHTER HAD HALF THE PLACE TO RUN AN EQUINE RESCUE OPERATION HERE-THEN I DON’T KNOW ABOUT IT... I DO KNOW ... SHE GETS EQUINES OUT OF THE SLAUGHTER HOUSES IN TEXAS AND PENNA.
I LIKE DONKEYS-I ONCE HAD 40 HERE ON THIS PROPERTY AND DROVE MY HITCH O F 8 DONKEYS IN MANY OF THE BOSTON HOTELS AS SANTA’S REINDEER- IT’S ANOTHER STORY-- BUT I HAE BEEN CALLED A NATIONAL EXPERT ON DONKEYS
SO WHEN SHE HAD SOME IN THE SLAUGHTER PENS I SAID I WOULD TAKE 3 WHICH SINCE ONE HAD A BABY , IT IS NOW 4... NOT 14....I LIKE THEM.. THEY ARE MINE. THE SALEM NEWS MUST HAVE GOT THE INFO OFF THE INTERNET- NOT KNOWN FOR IT’S ACCURACY.
PROFESSIONAL VETERNARIAN SERVICES THE BUILDING WOULD BECOME A VET OFFICE? NOT REALLY.. GO AND LOOK AT GEORGE MYERS VET OFFICE-PROBABLY ½ MILLION DOLLAR OPERATION...STAINLESS STEEL OPERATING TABLES BIG LIGHTS OVERHEAD- AND WHEN WE NEED TO , WE GO THERE FOR SURGERY.. THAT COULD NEVER BE DONE HERE WITHOUT MASSIVE ALTERATIONS. THE VET WHO COMES HERE IS BRIAN PARROTT WHO TREATS THE DONKEYS - AND MY DAUGHTERS HORSE WHO MIGHT HAPPEN TO BE HERE. THAT IS THE WAY IT IS DONE WITH LARGE ANIMALS.. GEORGE MYERS DVM IS A FRIEND OF MINE AFTER 20 HARD YEARS OF DEALING WITH ME.... HE SOMETIMES STOPS IN AND OFTEN GIVES ME HIS OPINION ON ANYTHING JUST BECAUSE HE IS HERE.. BUT IF I NEED SPECIFIC MEDICAL ADVICE, I TAKE THE DOG TO DANVERS. OH.. THERE IS ONE OTHER VET SEEN AROUND HERE-BONNIE-I DON’T EVEN KNOW HER LAST NAME.
SHE ARRIVES ON BICYCLE AND WE OFTEN GET INTO MEDICAL DISCUSSIONS, BUT HER SPECIALITY IS EXPERIMENTALLY CATCHING THOSE TRIANGULAR DEER FLYS ON BLUE BEER CUPS. CRAZY ACRES EARNS IT’S NAME DAILY.
WHIFFE BAR OPENING THIS IS A TOTALLY FICTITIOUS JOKE THAT THE CAMERA PEOPLE (AKA CP’s) MAKE AT HAVING A GLASS OF WINE WHEN THE MAIL CALL STARTS 5PM EASTERN TIME... IT BASICALLY MEANS IT IS TIME FOR MAIL CALL 5PM WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER ASK ME QUESTIONS. THERE IS NO LIQUOR ALLOWED HERE .
GAMBLING---? COULD SOMEONE HAVE GOT THAT FROM FACEBOOK? THE POKER CHIPS???-THESE ARE OUR BUSINESS CARDS - VERY PROFESSIONALLY DONE BY DARTWORLD - ODD COLOR CHIPS HE COULD NOT USE FOR HIS CONTRACTS WITH REAL CHIP USERS-WE HAND THEM OUT AS “BUSINESS CARDS” WITH OUR WEB ON ONE SIDE AND EXPLORE ON THE OTHER.
#45 AND PARKING SORRY - IT IS MY LAND AND I AM ENTITLED TO USE IT.- I AM ALSO HAPPY TO SHARE IT AS NEEDED...I KNOW IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET SKIP’S ICESCATING BUNCH OF CARS OFF BOXFORD ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT-THAT BACK PARKING LOT WILL NOT BE USED BY US OFTEN, AT LEAST AS YET. AND AS A PUBLIC SAFETY, I AM HAPPY TO HAVE SKIP INVITE THOSE PEOPLE TO PARK THERE... THE DEFINITION BETWEEN THAT AND OUR USEABLE AREA IS WELL DEFINED BY FENCING.
*****************
OUR LAWYER WAS DONALD GREENOUGH 57 S. MAIN ST IPSWIH MA 01938-- A BUNCH OF CARDS WOULD , I AM SURE BE INTERESTING.
