twenty degrees.... now that is serious... bud got both the fireplace and stove going and we are now heated by the old split rail fences... next emergency is to get the heat emergency lights activated..... in barn kennels, laundry kennels, nutt house and deagle house. there are plug in things which will turn on a light if the temp falls below 55 degrees... so if no light it is ok???? not really... we have to have a second light to prove there is electricity in that socket to begin with.. so walking around you should see one light in the window of those buildings... if two lights it is a heat emergency. and anyone who says that is not an emergency is welcome to sleep in the cold barn...... sometime in my life, i have slept in those raised bunk lofts... not overnight, but i napped there to see if it stayed warm enough.. and it did--- the heat vent pipe went down the back of the loft.... and i poked a few holes with a nail in each loft so some warm air went there... i am not sure that pipe is even used now.... bud reminded me we had lexan( strong plastiglass type) walls on the front of the lofts to contain the heat in the lofts. they may still be around...he said we numbered them... between the lexan and the nail holes...it would stay over 55 degrees... why 55?.....if the outside temp was 55 we would think it was liveably warm !!
the extra heater in kennel 10 is blowing right at the lower thermometer so it reads a few degrees higher than the loft height..i.e. artifically supported,----- minus the electric heater there was 20 degrees difference.... anyone want to try that 20 degrees difference ???
now. the delivery of that electrical power-- i was 100% shocked -- i had to go give a Ride to someone in boxford... and ended up on the proverbial " MY BUNCH OF DOGS MUST THINK IT QUEER TO STOP WITHOUT A FARM HOUSE NEAR.' ... AS I
stoppED to read my paper map ( yes paper) i happened to look up and saw there was a small tree limb that had grown between two of the high up wires-- which i think cArry electricity... whatever... IS THERE NO ONE IN BOXFORD KEEPING TRACK OF WIRES AND TREES?? BOXFORD HAS SOME REAL ESTATE DISTINCTION ...LIKE ONE OF THE HIGHEST INCOMES... OR IQ... OR KIDS SAT'S OR "PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE" WHATEVER...
WELL GOOD MORNING BOXFORD..... IPSWICH HAS IT'S SHARE OF DEAD TREES WHICH COULD CAUSE HAVOC( AND PROVIDE FIREWOOD... SO I AM WATCHING. ).. BUT TO GROW BETWEEN THE WIRES... HAS TO HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS TO GET THERE???? I AM PRETTY SURE 98% OF EACH AND EVERY RESIDENT OF BOXFORD COULD HIRE THEIR OWN "GUY WITH A PICKUP AND A LADDER" ....YET THAT WOULD. NEVER GET PAST SOME COMMITTEE.... AND PROBABLY OSHA......AND PREVENT THE HAVOC THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE.
I WOULD ALSO GUESS THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE TEENAGERS IN THAT TOWN WHO CLIMB MOUTAINS...AND ROCK WALLS -- I KNOW THERE ARE .. THAT IS A SPORT...... CLEARING EVEN THE LOWER INTERNET LINES WOULD BE WORK.. THAT JUST WOULD. NOT OCCUR TO THEM !!
TIL THEIR CONNECTION TO THE WORLD DIES...
