darn... i did not win publisher's clearing house-- whatta difference that would make !! well some anyway... we could at least pave the driveway to the t tent--- not gonna happen.. we are paving to the electric gate... and we can bounce around the potholes after that... $20k.....and the next $5000 will be to straighten out the topsoil manufacturing department once called horse/donkey pastures... those pointy feet , and poo piles, watered regularly by runn off from the arena roof are making black dirt/ onion growing topsoil that is 150x 8 feet--18" deep... every 6 months...
so we will have to pay someone to straighten that out.... again... ouR tractor will just not keep up-- another option is to have the big tractor carry all the goop up the hill and spread it at the top, seed it... and pray it doesn't all wash down hill againn before the vegitation keeps it there...
after all that , we should look good -- especially if all the grass grows that i hve so carefuly spread 6 seeds to the inch, like the old vermont farmenr taught me to do... there is a way- of gtrabbing a handfull and flinging it from your right side to center front- distributing it over you index finger and takeing one step forward... you never adjust your manner of throwing due to the wind, you adjust where you walk when there is a breeze- done ringht it is better than any spreadder i have seen-- of course i have not seen many spreadders since i learned how to do this.
i suppose there is a mythbuster way of opening the bag of seed in front of a leaf blower-- which might work?????
(they did a stick of dynomite in a bucket of Paint in a closed room--- which did not paint the entire room.... but was good fun)

bud-- read the directions to my car jumper starter--- if he did actually get it charged back to full, it will continue to be wondeerful-- the size of a "thick" cell phone, it jumped my car 3 times before dying.. it is a critical piece of equipment i have-- why does my relatively new car constantly drain the battery???? good question... good answer is "tall dogs" they bang their heads on teh ceiliing light, which due to some fantastic "ON" switching device designed by someone who makes $120,000 a year i am sure, the guy who designs teh auto "off" switch took a year off to study garlic farms in india..... much to the joy of the car battery/jumper cable manufacturing devisio.

bud reads....i can read too... but not like he does... he reads and understands what he reads... i read mostly to get thru the words smoneone told me i had to read..-- like high school history class..--had nothing to do with remmembering what you read... and it doesn't get any better as you age... to th epoint now where if i read the whole long sentance i have to go back and figure out what the frist part said...- boy tht slows up progress in reading directions in umbrella installation ( which we did yesterday at mail call...) we didn't even pull out the directions...just get a hammer-- and if that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer.

Next jab at manufacturing-- and this is really an invention which is already invented...just no one is thinking--- how many sheets of paper would be savec by reducing the margins on every printer to 1/4 inch..
just think--- no more "this pagre intentionally left blank"--- every notice i get from medicare ( which is far to many already) there is a "last page" of about 3 lines
every time you get a mass mailing put a circle around what you really need to read.... and think.... if paper for mass mailing came in a roll... and cut off the page 1/4 inch after the printed line just think....
it might take more to build the printers, but the printer people wouldn't care-.. they can give away printers and get wealthy on ht ink anyaay
