sept 17 2021

 festing is upon us..    what ain't  done... ain't never gonna get done, unless the festers do it.... which aj got to it immediately .... taking apart teh t tent... with meatcutter steve... have at it....  i am minus one tent this morning....small panic...---

just when tyou think you have everything in order....
matt came up with a steer head ( plastic)  to attach to a bale of hay.     so everyone has started swinging ropes at it...

second. challange........couple years ago... i siphoned water up and over the swing set-- and i forgot how i did it... so that set up ie ready for some of you  brilliant engineers to get running again... 4 water jugs and a 50 foot hose.-----   that became a challange when the internet suggested the egyptioans "floated "   rocks to the top of the pyramids...-
 over 25% of out "cp'sapparently are men-- so have at it guys......


and then there is teh 9  tons of rock i inadvertantly ordered....  i hope some cp knows something about massonary work-- like mixing the glue stuff....   that came about when  some spcial ed person came to interview us abotu sending us 3 or 4 students with a counsler-- to help around.."job training".   
 well all they ever do is pick pooo--- and there is no final... finished job.. whan it comes to poo...-- and tehn a saw the round cement septic tank holder i somehow ordered 20 years ago.. which has been alot of things ... like fire pit.... 
i thight it could become teh base to one of those small stone pillars i often see-- so i went to favorite stone store... bentley warren. where they. crush rock and sort stones.and deciced on one scoop of teh next to largest size..  like 4 inches....   i hooked up the trailer and had second thoughts about driving home  minus the back tailgattees with a load that could/would roll....  so fortunately i paid teh $30 to have it delivered..      
well -----oher day. with the water delivery exercise.... "a pint is a pound the world around"  we calculated the 4' x 4' cube or a palet of water musthave weighed  2200. pounds-- the secretary at teh weigh out scale siad the rocks were $25 a ton.... i knew the size of teh scoop-- that tractor was just ditting there..-- so i  asked her to send me a scoop.
 no problem .. it would be the load after the 3:30 load of sand going elsewhere...  " a triaxle load"  ( ? could it dump in a level spot without the truk tipping over../) yes.... no problem
so the tri a=xle arrived with  one scoop... which turns out to be 9 tons... not the 2 i was expectkng

 this is when i have to go with goldie ( our ghost of the lefthand drawer)   goldie must have some plan for 9 tons of rock...  so i will accept her challange-( what else can it do .... it is a huge pile of 4 inch brown -- round--- lovely rocks.) as mysister frannie wold say "have faith" 

then ther is th e questoion of who buys rocks in new england???    but these are differrent. rocks...
 a rock is a rock the world around too....

or shoud  i say "now is teh time for me to go play with my mental blocks !!"
