  1 13 dd

 Wow rough month but we're just beginning to work on details and I was reminded of my days in the movie business most specifically the movie we made which had something to do with Christmas and a family around a tree and somebody knocks at the door so the dog jumps to the door to run and see who it is and barks and the person comes in and Whoopi etcetera etcetera and my job of course was to make the dog run to the door and bark um so I ended up with a dog that would do that and all I had to do was throw his cue to the person standing by the door and he would run in that direction but the room was crowded you know with the dog and the door and the people and all that sort of thing and I was standing up on an apple ****** see def later... ****clear the crowd and as they went to throw the the Q I lost my balance and two people grabbed me  to stop me from falling as one would ordinarily do where and how they grabbed me defies description except that in the movie business you don't worry about details like that.. you do what needs to be done

so I've had a lot of experience with that sort of doing what needs to be done and that's the case with me getting in the front door I'm happy to say if I now use my own feet while somebody pulls me backwards then it only takes one person to get me up to the front door and no more we tried to lift the wheelchair in the front door that's too cumbersome but I found that if I stand up get my hand on the door and one on the door frame then somebody behind me puts the hand on either buttock and shoves then I land in the house and that's working very nicely it all comes from my schooling in the movie business you just do whatever works.\\
educational point of the day..... p.s... an APPLE is a very strong box of specific measurement.. which is used to prop up people and props in the ffilming business
there is a 1/2 APPLE.  1/4 APPLE and a pancake all carefully made... 2 of the 1/4 APPLES measure exacrly the 1/2 APPLE.  etc,,,

so I'm warm and dry.   Mary is in the RV with Wanda and people kind of come and go. Bringing food in and out of here which is very nice it's probably better here than in the laundry building but it's working .... when Mary was bending over the she got one drip presumably of water on her shoulder.... we tried to find the source of that drip because in my experience drips rarely come and singular fashion but as of yet I've been unable to find the source of the one drip interesting there's a lot of things up in the roof of this building and the snow is gone so that has nothing to do with it but there was 1 drip

 

I can remember back in Lynnfield we had a drip in our sitting room significant it was beneath a flat surfaced porch upstairs..... that grew significantly so it would fill a scrap basket and then a garbage pail and then with my clever siphoning it would fill 2-3 and four garbage pails all at once in an overnight downpour without my having to get up and do anything safe aning a learned..  and after that we outgrew the siphoning I got to thinking and drilled a hole in the floor and put a funnel a simple funnel in the hall which was enough to catch all the drip and send it down cellar which we eventually covered up with a rug... You should never stop thinking of ways to solve any problem...   well you should never stop thinking anyway.... but how many people want to shove responsibility on somebody else to figure out the details so they don't have to burden their brain...  I'm not sure whether that hole in the floor episode was before or after Tommy Nugent with the racehorse in the cellar in the six inch flood so he can soak his feet...  things go on and on here..

 

Health wise I'm doing quite well I'm on 2 pills twice a day of antibiotic and interestingly they sent (they being the hospital )a home detailed person who happened to be an orthopedic person who makes you walk around but he was sent here to check on my pills and to actually look at the bottle that we had gotten from the drug store to make sure it was not outdated and it was current and we've gotten it and everything was fine and he counted the bills even though I have some of them already put into my weekly pill case I was very interested in the details that he had to go through to actually look visually at those at that pill bottle. 

  I think we have Saturday and Sunday off and nowhere special to go with the dogs.   Carly and Mary.  did yesterday's job very well...  my push of the weekend maybe to get carly's chicken on the chicken transporting device that I put together so we may have chicken training I don't know if we'll get a camera working by then or not---- nick seems to know what happened when the tree limb went through the wire..... now whether he could do anything about it I don't know you'll find out

 

 keep up the good work of hay bales and henny pennying...  and on we go
