sept 13 2021

festing in earnest. i think we are as organized as we would ever be... the stuff that needs doing... i hope to have lined up for all of you to do !!  how's that ???
adn on top of that........
anita ( n.y.) went to an estate sale where they had boxes of unidentifeid horse equipment ... and 3 carriages-- all of which i now own---- in  chatham. ny..... so.... is there anyone coming across the mass pike from ny--- with a large pick up that might hold a carraige????
-----
teh lawn trailer for chaos transport was a huge success for chaos.... and i think she has teh picture... it will carry her back up the hill---  she got off and back on several times-on her own... and got a drikn. etc..   i think the bedding is. easier for her to get her footing---and jen redid the non slip ramp... it is going to need a market umbrella-- or something... because when the shade area got small she got up and went into the g tent... which bud said is her favorite place to lie....  so today i will park her  carriage there and see how that goes....
 ---
 yesterday as i backed around with the tractor, that backhoe does swing around much further than one would think...  apparently - first report was i bumped bently who got out of the way.  but that report changed from bump to carlene hit bentley which then  became driving too fast. -- i don't read facebook but i paniced... here we go again.. what started out to be a fun sunday drive around with chaos and bentley ends up in facebook that i hit him---- sounds like  either with a baseball bat... or i should get a speeding ticket as people want to have the most sensationalistic  negative. story .
i went all over every inch of bentley--- he has one hair folicle pimple on his chin-- that is the only blemish i could find--- hardly caused by a tractor....i hope  i don't have to endure another  facebook go round today.... there are public personalities who are paid to take such facebook action.... for them. any pub;licity is good publicity..however  i am a volunteeer and have one goal---  prepare a dog to keep some person on their  feet walking-- and have a little fun on the side..  i will not be distracted.....
believe me , i do have the vocabulary to deal.......but i wouln't want to shock all teh nice people who aren't involved.
----
hitting things--- everyone around here knows.... if i hit 3 things in one day i will stop driving.... so believe it or not...  i try not to hit things.--
there was a day.. ?  20 years ago, i dented both trailers. in one day by hitting one trailer with. the other.... the normal fleetood tht we sstill own was parked by the package dropp off and as i bent to get out the gate with. that long trailer , i hit th e  parked one.   big noise-- small dent....

another trailer story.. big trailelr ( moving van size). went to some job in?newton? at teh country club--- my directions said to pull in... so i did... long drifeway. cars parked on both sides....  expensive cars parked on both sides... fairly new at backing...... took  forever for me to back out without one scrape. 
------
that is as bad as the ann getchell story-- again fairly new trailer and fairly new at anns...  she told me to go out the "back driveway"-- so i started..  1/4 mile in, i came to a tree, a bump, and anotehr tree... there was absolutely no way i could bend around the corner.... so i backed -- to where i had left ann... -- she had a trailer about the same size.. so i said". i could not get around that corner.. how do you?    and ann....... "i couldn't either, i wanted to see if you could. " 
--
i have a lot of trailer stories-- including 3 days ago when i told teh salesperson at tractor supply.... i wanted to buy a trailer.. and he bewildered said " you already have a trailer on behind". 
--
old lady.. big trailer -- very condusive to funny stories
----
 as a friend of ann's for some 30 years, i could go on for a long time with funny  ann stories-- another favorite........big  fancy house( by my standards).   how do you know if ann is home?  for at least 20 years...... she has a 2 x 4 for holding  the  door shut-- and if that is holding the door from outside, she is not home.
--

moving on..... big trailer donkey parade...
