Alien tape I bought some ---they sent me three rolls--- I almost used one roll before the other two roles disappeared entirely---- I am about to order more and I do recommend it ----it's not too bad ---eventually it did let go on a scrap basket that we had next to my mail call but it hung on there for much longer than anything else I've ever had and the surge strips on the wall are still there that was my best alien taped project.
Luckily..... I was invited to let my dogs run over at Meredith farms and let me tell you they were beautiful the fields are just lovely and those absolutely gorgeous stone walls all over the place I let the two of them out and then I drove around what is about a half a mile of dirt road while they galloped over the hills and Yonder.. actually it was just gymini and malarkey ---I had left sizzle home I'm not sure why.
Carl who is with Janine a lot of the time has become a regular farm dog ---where he goes with her while she does chores... he’s usually within about 20 feet of wherever she is.. but his manners are not 100% when it comes to recalling him to put him either in the barn or in my car.. so he needs some practice there but he is trouble free with other dogs entirely as he and Wanda tag after Janine.. my two came back and slept the rest of the morning..
And we have started the struggle of fencing... in the arena--- mostly on camera.... The object is to put a fence between what will be the riding area and things like the oil tank and huge pile of koranda beds and miscellaneous odd objects that we didn't get out of there------ the steps and the backup channel are all piled in the corner which would be an inconvenient distraction when riding a horse in there which we hope to be doing very soon.. the fencing is proving to be a challenge... it is white plastic and we'll look beautiful eventually but right now the 8 foot panels slip ever so gently into two holes on the post assuming you have the post buried to the right depth in the dirt.... which is my job on the tractor.. the first 8 foot section was a disaster hopefully it gets better -----we will need about 3 8’ panels. on each side and it will look lovely when it's done----- that arena is 60 foot by 80 foot---and when I originally planned it, riding area would be 60 by 60 and I would have 60 by 20 for a “closet” all the stuff which is now in the G tent...(. or in the dump ) this “closet” now is mostly odd bits of service dog projects paraphernalia.
It's been a long time since I had to work the backhoe---and let me tell you if I gain another 3 pounds my tummy is not going to fit between the seat and the levers... the only way I could get in the thing is to have one of the stabilizers lift me up hydraulically ---The typical. ” jump in” is out of the question.. but this works.
That last rainstorm deposited so much water that you'd think it was muddy March... and I'm told we have another rainstorm coming before the end of the week... what I would call a dark green and yellow... because that's what it looks like on the radar.
Whatever happened to the weather prediction of things like “red sky at night is a sailor's delight ---red sky in the morning sailor take warning..” ??
I don't know when it changed from -----anybody's guess----... to noticing that we were going to get whatever was happening in Ohio the day before.. I don't think that was part of my childhood at all ---you looked up.
Now they're predicting the weather 30 years away when florida will be just a figment of someone’s imagination.
'nae man can tether time nor tide "

to not forget your most important service person..
your trash collector.
