AAaaahhhhhhh  coffee -  what better reason to get up in the morning.--
i have to complement linda on the running of the "doggie bag gift shop"   she is doing a fantastic job...  and our donkey feed bags / carryalls/USEFUL POUCHES...  are selling very well... we are on our second 500 from CHINA'S  mr. moon- they are handy as carryaLLS AND ARE USEABLE  AS FEEDBAGS IF YOU HAPPEN TO NEED ONE OF THOSE-- THEY ARE MADE OF MESH SO IF AN ANIMAL/HORSE/DONKEY GETS LEFT WITH ONE ON, THEY CAN GET A DRINK OF WATER WITHOUT DROWNING IN IT.  WE REEALLY SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE TAG IN IT DESCRIBING WHAT AND HOW... BUT NEVER GOT ROUND TO IT.  $20 --THEY ARE ON OUR WEB....AND ARE A UNIQUE GIFT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS EVERYTHING.... I BET THEY DON'T HAVE ONE OF THOSE... AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW TEHY NEEDED ONE TIL THEY HAVE ONE. AND LINDA Is AN AMAZING COLLECTOR OF MAILING DEVICES AS  TOTE AFTER TOTE GOES OUT THE DOOR FULL OF BOXES AND BAGS ( AND CALENDARS..)

OUR 4 X 4 STALL DOORS GOT INADVERTANTLY UNLOADED...  BUT NOT ALL BAD... WE WOULD BE BEST TRYING TO SCRUB A LIMITED NUMBER ? 12? EACH TIME-- IF WE CAN GET TEH INITIAL GRUNGE OFF THEM WITH THE SOAPY CAR WASH DO IT YOURSELF  "WAND TYPE"  THEN IF WE NEED ANYTHING MORE WE CAN STRUGGLE WITH OUR POWERFUL HOT SPRAY CLEANER .. ALREADY WITH THE 3 COMMERCIAL WASHING MACHINES GOING ALL DAY I HAVE A $900 watter bill a month !!  SO TEH 18 QUARTERS FOR THE CAR WASH SEEMS MINIMAL...  I THINK TANNER IS HERE TODAY... I DUNNO...

MATT- RETIRED MAN WHO IS OUR  TRACTOR/MANURE PILE SPECIALIST---  HAS SOME KIND OF COMPUTER PILOT  PROGRAM ON HIS MACHINE...  HE SAYS IT IS PRETTY REAlistic-- and it apparently was what the guy practiced on whostole that plane out or ?seattle and ditched it in the pacific...  at any rate... it sounds like it might be fun for someone like tanner who likes to drive things and is not old enough for a drivers license.. well -- he is darn near. but a pilot's lic has no age--- or it didn't in 1959....

speaking of learner's permits  todays FYI-- in Britain - aT LEAST WHEN I WAS THERE-  DRIVERS WHO WERE LEARNING  HAD TO CLIP AN   "L"    PLATE ON THE LICENSE--  BOY IS THAT A GREEAT IDEA-- AND WOULD BE SO USEFUL IN MANY OTHER SITUATIONS-- PEOPLE FROM IDAHO WHO RENT CARS IN BOSTON AND ARE LOST-- OR OLDER PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ANY FASTER.  YOU KNO W THE KIND WHO CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY 80 MPH IS NOT FAST ENOUGH. THEN THERE IS THE COMIC ELEMENT WHERE AN "L"  PLATE GETS PUT ON SOMEONE'S CAR INSTEAD OF "JUST MARRIED" -- welll... that may be out dated too...
