stay out of politics--- well.... i can not imagine at my age--- which many of the senators now are... sitting at my desk.. no phone,,, no computer.. no talking.. for 14 hours...(well they must have had several bathroom breaks at their age... ) normally i wake up at 1:00 - usually to make monkey fists and drink decaf coffee while getting wierd ideas for this fool daily doggie...last night i was entertained by watching the old folks continuing to sag and droop as they formally presented ideas about which they had predetermined opinions. even the guy at the top, with the hammer- nearly had his chin on his desk as he banged it and finally said "adjourned"- and he was due back at work 7 hours later. at 2 am they had a grand time keeping "today, tomorrow , and yesterday" straight in their heads. some of the younger guys held up a bit better, but the older ones took a hit.
i certainly would run that outfit differently !!

the easiest parts of any project are -- getting the idea-- and buying the parts online. as i look at teh 3 powerstrips i need to screw to some wall waist high so i don't have to crawl around on my knees trying to plug or unplug some devioce at the "regualr" ankle high plug.
furthermore... i think i could design something easier than 2 tiny off set screws which are supposed to hold those powerstrips to the wall.

i am very fortunate-- my ability to aproximate the spacing for those screws is bad which results in many holes in the walls of this house.... but since all the walls are wood it is possible to hammer nail / screw holes randomly- and you can just pull them out ---- the holes heal themselves and without a magnifying glass, just disappear.
magnifying glasses , levels and right angle T squares are not welcome here.
with the latest discussion about my roof, i remembered...... we once had a roof leak. down the side of the chimney - a pretty sterady drip, but not enough to fill a bucket overnight.... which is my criteria for the seriousness of a leak.. it has just plain gone away... never fixed, but has not leaked in years.
i am a very experienced owner of a leaking roof. in lynnfield it was so bad that i was forced to learn to siphon so i could fill 2 big trash cans at once before i drilled a 1/2 inch hole and stuck a funnel in it to direct the water to the basement garage where it did run "out" if it got over 4 inches deep.
well... it usually did except for the time we had a race horse standing in 4 inches of water. i have forgotten why all that happened- but i do remember both horse and teenager tommy nugent standing in that water.
tommy nugent now doctor nugent-- now reads this -- maybe he can fill in the details???
