jackets jackets... it is raining beautiful blue jackets from disney --- thanks to ingrid...-- for some reason disney ended up with 72 beautiful expensive winter jackets in sunny florida....and ingrid-- ever thinking -- thought all the cp's who live in florida and would just love to rush back to snowy new england in feburary but can't because they don't have the winter clothing-- well that excuse no longer works... you can come enjoy a good ole n.e. blizzard because we now will have jackets here to keep you warm while you shovel and remind yourself why you moved to florida in th e first place...
what does 72 jackets look like? about 2 x 2 x 6 feet or 24 cubic feet of blue jackets.. so today i will start a list of volunteers who are here
on a very regular basis- and issue them their own jacket... which should leave plenty left over to have "around " as jackets to work in.. these are not to be sold or given away to anyone except our workers..... we certianly can manage that...

DDDYY is a new date format to me... makes lotta sense... this learning came by way of the recall of all kidde fire
extinguishers betweeen 00212 and 22717-- that's many --38-- millions of red cylindars-- with their corresponding red and white notices that ADI said i must put over them-- which i did...i argued long and lively that anyone around here would not think those red cylindars were hair dryers.
by my executive order we are to have one at the door to every building-- with the theory that to keep it next to a possible source of fire was a poor choice..this also gives us a chance to check on the green/red live/dead status-- and even put a date pn some... this recall....sounds like a goldie reminde---- goldie might be telling us..... time for someone to check the green/red dial at least-- next volunteer in th e door gets that one.

it is also the same liogic that demands we keep all water buckets next to the door /gate to the kennel so as you come and go you can check to be sure it is fresh-- right now....sitting here... i can tell you one bucket that is not near the door-- and that is walters... i did note that a few days ago.. and dismissed it as something i think megan would be the one to check on fresh water... .. his configuration is awkward, but we still could change that with a double ended snap- dog's water dishes get pretty grucky pretty quickly... one quick lap of teh water and the entire dish is slime... i don't know what they have in the irsaliva.. but it changes an entier bucket to slime.
on that same topic......i dog never drinks an entire bucket of water.... therefore by filling it to the top insures wasting at least 1/2 a bucket... a long time ago i suggested we fill those kennel pails only 2/3 full-- it is not just the water, but have you ever timed how long it takes to fill a bucket to the top....? the extra 20 seconds times 60 dogs 3 times a day--- there is 1 hour of just standing.? plus it is heavier . on second though i think the 20 seconds is a bit much --- make it 10 and 1/2 hour.
all these "drops in a bucket" amt to a $900 a month water bill...

the icu house-- we are having 3 nice warm days this week... so it may be teh last chance at getting a coat of paint on that ICU house- it has 2 coats of primer on it now... white [[[rimer-- and it started to be the "white house----yesterday i decided at 7am to go to the local hardware store and buy some paint for the final coat. with difficulty joyce donna jeri and anyone else who was here decided to have it be that icey/blue.. if i would just have them cut" the white with blue... we would have "the ice house" - so i went-- the local hardware store is more expensive thatn other places-- but for some reason..... it was full of contractors who were getting paint for the day's job...-- one guy came in with 6 gallons of very light green that some homeowner did not like --- so ....... we how have a green house. and - with that .. the name will fit too...
gotta go with goldie... i turned in to that paint store on my way to home deopt.. i tell you , if you ever get your choice between smart or lucky... take lucky !
