 how to get more people vaccinated? tell them there is a shortqage of vacines....-- maybe offer a free roll of tp !!--

i hope between today and tomorrow we can find another person to help with the grounds... there is a long list of picky stuff thqt should have been done by nowl.. i am stilll carrying grass seed around because i need someone to roll those lumps of trees onto the tractor....that once kept people off the lawn by the swing set... they need to be split for firewoodto be stored in the griaffe tent in prep for winter fireside chats with bud.  i don't know why we don't ask bud to do those... because if he would explain what he has done every day, it would be a huge learning experience...allow me a "for instance".....

that john deere mower that i bought from my daughter gwen, has done yeoman's service....... as it clanks and bangs over rocks and dog chew toys... wednesday ... it gave up the ghost and died.---as it sat forlornly in front of door 29-- the old chicken coop. by thurs he had it apart with little metal pieces all over a shatupon table...and back together by friday. here comes the critical part....HE HAD PRE ORDERED TEH PIECE THAT BROKE- BECAUSE HE WATCHED THAT MACHINE WORK AND REALIZED "I BETTER GET A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THAT... IT IS GOING TO GO EVENTUALLY"
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THERE DOES EXIST A MECHANICAL MIND CLEVER ENOUGH TO PRE ORDER WHAT WILL BREAK???

REGULARLY IN THE MAIL ... WE GET PIECES OF METAL WHICH WE STORE ON TEH MANTLE PIECE FOR BUD-- I WOULD NOT BEGIN TO QUESTION HIS DECISION TO BUY THOSE CHUNKS OF TRACTOR-- OR MORE PROBABLY HIS COLLECTION OF ELECTRIC GATE PIECES.... IF I WAS REALLY CLEVER I WOULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO RENT BUD-- JUST CHARGE FOR TAGGING AROUND AFTER HIM-
HOW CAN I NOT REPEAT THE SAGA OF THE WASHING MACHINES...
MY PERSONAL WASHING MACHINE - STOPPED FUNCTIONING.  IT WAS NOT OLD-- JUST BEYOND WARRENTEE--
 REPAIR MAN ARRIVED ----CARRYING ONE SCREW DRIVER-- NOT A SHOEBOX OF TOOLS.... DECLARED IT WAS TEH COMPUTER THAT HAD DIED- WHICH COST $400 SO I MAY AS WELL BUY A NEW ONE..... HERE IS HIS CARD-- THEY COUDL HAVE ONE HERE TODAY.. AND I FELL FOR THAT--- LUCKILY I DID NOT LIT THEM TAKE AWAY THE OLD MACHINE-- ONLY BECAUSE I HAD BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL ELECTRIC MOTOR THAT WE MIGHT NEED SOMEDAY FOR SOMETHING.-- I OUT IT IN THE G TENT-- AND WAITED...NEXT TO GO WAS TEH WASHING MACHINE IN TEH GUEST HOUSE-- I WAS NOT  SHOCKED... IT HAD BEEN A CHEAPER MODEL- AND WE GOT THE SMAE LINE FROM DIFFERENT REPAIR GUY- AND BOUGHT ANOTHER... AGAIN I DID NOT LET THEMTAKE THE OLD ONE....
SO THERE WERE TWO WASHING MACHINMES VERY CLOSE TO WHAT WE CALL "BUDS WORLD" IN THE BACK OF THE. G TENT... I KNEW THOSE 2 WOULD WEAR ON HIS NERVES AND EVENTUALLY HE WOULD TAKE THEM APART TO SEE WHY THEY BROKE. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE SWITCH TELLING THE MACHINE THE DOOR WAS SHUT-- ON BOTH--- SO HE ORDERED 2 ONLINE FOR $13.50 EACH -- AND WE HAD 2 PERFECTLY GOOD WASHING MACHINES. THAT BOTH SAT IN FRONT OF THE LAUNDRY BUILDING. - THEY WERE AROUND FOR QUITE A WHILE TIL SOMEOEN GOT MARRIED- OR SOMETHIGN..

DOES THAT MAKE ANYONE WONDER IF A FORTUNE IS TO BE MADE BY HAULING AWAY BROKEN EQUIPMENT FOR $20...... THEN RESELLING IT FROM YOUR HOUSE.
AND THEN THERE WAS TH DAY ONE OF our COMMERCIAL WASHERS WENT-- WE HAVE 3 OF THOSE---- AND TEHY COST--- BIG TIMEE..????$7500?? so we put a sign on it  "don't use... broken...." sure enough..eventually bud had to take a look at it------- washing machine companies-- well wascomtt anyway-- are extremely helpful in self repair-- since of most of these are in laundromats....bud was in his glory-- as he finally found teh reason... one tiny spring-- the size of the spring in a ball point pen ws teh problem... it was involved in weighing teh amt of water in the machine....

so where is the school that could develope a curriculum along the lines of the word ---fix---- now there is an eagal scout project if ever there was one. 
Where is the school of thought that approaches a non functioning piece of equipment and teaches "now figure out how could this machine not start to work??"
?? mike rowe??? have at it.

maybe if janine is around - and can find a girth and stirrups i can try another ride -- on her english saddle...
Here is YouTube link:

i fe we could put one of those across the gate... it woluld stop thwhat should i buy??? and should it ve in a loop????.....
