I GUESS ADD BEATING TO THE LIST OF THINGS EXPECTED OF A CP.. YESTERDAY AS TOO MANY THINGS WERE PILING UP BEHIND ME I SWUNG TO HIT THE SEAT OF MY GOLF CART TO DEMO MY FRUSTRATION..... AND MISSED HITTING JODY IN THE LEG-- SHE SAAYS I EVEN RAISED A BRUISE !!.. IT WAS A WHIFFLE BAT REACTION MINUS THE WHIFFLE BAT...
SO LAST NIGHT-- EVEN WITH MY POOR MEMORY, I LISTED 17 THINGS THAT WERE PILING UP... WE ARE GOIONG THRU A PHASE OF PEOPLE RUSHING TO TELL ME THE " WFB" REPORT.. ( ANYTHING THAT IS WRONG/FAILING/ BROKEN) -- ONE OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT IS THAT ... I AM TOLD THE PIPE I PUT IN THE WOODS AS A CULVERT "WASHED AWAY?????? THAT REALLY BLEW ME UP... BECAUSE IT IS AN 18 " CULVERT IN A BASICALLY DRY DITCH ABOUT 8' LONG -- IF THAT "WASHED AWAY" I NEED TO GO SEE-- BECAUSE IN MY JUDGEMENT ... IT WOULDN'T-- PROBLEM IS... I CAN ONLY GET NEAR IT ON A GOLF CART-- AND THAT HAS TO BE ON A GOLF CART THAT SPENT THE NIGHT PLUGGED IN.... SO MAYBE THIS AFTERNOON... I HOPE IT WAS LOCAL KIDS MOVING IT... BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW.......
I CAN TAKE JUST SO MANY OF THE ITEMS IN THE WFB REPORT AND I HAVE A MELTDOWN.... 17 IS TOO MANY
TOTALLY UNDOING THE CELLAR WAS/IS TOP ON THE LIST..... AT LEAST I CAN TRY AND FIX THAT.....
BEST ILLUSTRATION???? LINDA PICKED UP A ROLL OF FOIL WRAP AND WIPED IT OFF... TO FIND IT WAS PURCHASED AT PURITY SUPREME--THAT STORE WENT OUT OF BUSINESS 10 YEARS AGO--- FULL ROLL-- STUCK ON A SHELF--- AND THAT IS A PERFECT DEMO OF THE HUGE PROBLEM WHICH IS OUR CELLAR... PUTTING THINGS "AWAY FOR LATER"
THE "AWAY" GOT FULL AND THE " LATER " HAPPENED YEARS AGO...
WAY IN THE BACK ARE MEDICAL BILLING RECORDS WHICH HAVE TO BE SHREADED ( OR MORE LIKELY I WILL BURN THEM QUICKLY BEFORE ANYONE TELLS ME BURNING DOESN'T DESTROY THEM ADAQUATELY...) WE ARE TALKING 1985 ISH OF BOXES OF CARDBOARD-- BEST FIRE HAZARD GOING !!
WE DID ESTABLISH A FREEBEE PILE ON THE STREE, AND GOT RID OF ALOT !-- PROBABLY ONE PICKUP TRUCK FULL-- DE-HUMIDIFIER-- JACKETS FOR DOGS OTHER THAN DANES.... MANY ITEMS TO "ORGANIZE YOUR OFFICE" WHICH I HAVE PROVEN TO BE INEFFECTIVE-- A THING TO HOLD THE KURIG COFFEE LITTLE CUPS THAT WAS SLIGHTLY TOO SMALL -- BUT LOOKED REALLY GOOD IN STAINLKESS STEEL...
WE EVEN PUT OUT A SAMPLE OF OUR POO PICKERS AS AN EDUCATIONAL SUGGESTION TO PEOPLE WALKING THIER DOGS ALONG BOXFORD RD...
IF WE HAD EVER STARTED THAT ON SATURDAY MORNING INSTEAD OF WAITING TIL SUNDAY THE CELLAR WOULD BY NOW BE BARE...
WELLL... EXCEPT FOR THE PAINT FROM HOME DEPOT... THEY GAVE US A PALLET OF ODD PAINTS-- WHICH IS WHY ALL THE BUILDINGS ARE SUCH DIFFERENT COLORS-- WE USED ALOT--- NOW IT WILL TAKE ALOMST AS MUCH EFFORT TO GET RID OF WHAT WE DID NOT USE...
LOOKING AT IT FROM THE TOP DOWN... WE NEED TO BE MORE ORGNIZED--- FOR INSTANCE.... WE USE A BUNCH OF FLUFFOLIES-- THEY GE T DIRTY AND ENTER THE LAUNDRY SYSTEM, GET CLEANED AND FOLDED AND RETURENED TO UPSTAIRS FOR USE... SOME ARE VERY WARN...A ND NEED REPLACEMENT-- WE HAVE A TON OF REPLACEMENT FLUFFIES-- BRAND NEW-- THAT HAVE NOT ENTERED THE CIRCULATION ( WE DON'T NEED MORE)
WE JUST NEED JACKY AND AMY TO TAKE OUT THE RIPPED / WORN FOR THEIR QUILTING PROJECT AND WE STARTT WITH THE NEW ONES...
*****
SOMEHOW MY COLLECTION OF WIERD BIKES LANDED IN A BAC CORNER... -- MOST NOTABLE MY "PENNY FARTHING" HIGH WHEELER WHICH I RODE TO WIN THE GREAT RACE IN BOSTON--- A 26 MILE RACE ON LAND OR SEA-- WHERE THE WINNER IS ALWAYS DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE THEY MUST HAVE CHEATED.. I REALLY DIDN'T CHEAT--I RODE THE ENTIRE 26 MILES... MOSTLY BECAUSE IT HAD NO BRAKES AND I COULDN NOT GET OFF WITHOUT HELP... I BEAT THE TV CREW WHO HAD SAILED A WATER BED TO THE FINISH LINE.. SOMEHOW I THINK TOMMY NUGENT WAS INVOLVED DRIVING THE HORSE TRAILER TO THE FINISH LINE TO PICK ME UP???? TOMMY???? THA WAS LOOOOONG AGO--- BEFORE HE WAS A DR, HE WAS MY STABLE HELP !!
THE OTHER BIKE IN THE CELLAR.....IS ONE I "MADE" FOR A LATER GREAT RACE-- I SPENT WEEKS PUTTING TOGETHER 2 WHEELS WITH THE HUBS 2" OFF CENTER--- THAT WAS A WILD 26 MILES TOO..
AND THEY ARE BOTH SADLY UNDER A PILE IN TH ECELLAR...
TO BE RESCUED THIS WEEK...
*****
FROM MAIL CALL--- AND HAROLD AND WANDA; PRECUT POO PICKERS, I SEE THEY HAEV EATEN A DUNCAN HINES APPLE CINNAMIN MUFFIN -- READY IN A MINNUTE..-- PERFEDT FOR ONE--
LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW-- SO I GAVE THAT POO PICKER TO STEVE-- WHO WANDERA AROND SUPER MARKETS TRAINING DOGS... HE MAY AS WELL LOOK FOR THOSE
****
TODAYS SCHEDULE/ EXCITEMENT.... NEUTERING- SURGERY ON THE MALE DONKEY AT ABOUT 11 AM... USUALLY DONE ON THE GRASS, BUT SINCE WE DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD PIECE OF GRASS, HE MAY DO IT IN TH EBARN -- HE IS BRYAN.. TH EONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DONKEY AND HORSE NEUTERING IS A DONKEY IS MORE INCLINED TO BELEED AND I ALWYAS REMIND THE VET ABOUT "ONE STITCH" IS NEEDED...
IF YOU WOULD LIKE A DISCUSSION ABOUT HTE ENTIR PEOCESS I SUGGEST A "TED LECTURE" BY MIKE ROWE-- WHO DID A "DIRTY JOB" AT A SHEEP FARM. IT IS VERY EDUCATIONAL....
