dd 2 15

I now have so many pajamas that  I have to be careful to make sure I don't wear the same colors for mail call somebody will criticize me for not bathing ----they've criticized me for everything else- there is "stuff " that "they" dont realize.....like.....  I wonder if anyone has mentioned the fact that as of January 2023 I was still actively supporting the shat upon society with the $500 gift to the winners---out of my pocket....that was not a deductible to me and I very shortly thereafter did quit---  that was after a solid 10 years of  check for $500 to the winners every month..   it was supposed to be eventually refunded to me when I retired, because by then I had----- thanks  to the  cp's and  memsaic's help----"fun-raised"  over $2,000,000 for service dog project in addition to any donations and advances I had given them.. we'll see how that works out.  I have all the exact payments if anybody is curious just let me know.

 

Wandering around back through history... aka  my old checkbooks--  I did find some amazing things... Notably those golf carts are wonderful except when they breakdown they are expensive especially when the repair guy lives in Rhode Island and charges you to pick him up... Then there is the small tractor--basically grass cutting tractor -- sand spreading and things like that... service dog project did write the check for it for 21,000.....   but if you look carefully you see that the day before I wrote a check to service dog project for $10,000  so just be very careful about including all the details... and don't forget the  maintenance(one bill was $3870) --- In in any fancy decision making ---

Those tractors and  golf carts never would have survived without Bud.   I shudder to think Of the money bud has saved us with his fanatical manual reading habit...

 

 so I took a picture of him---- well actually his tool bag I guess you'd call it  is well worn... I've often made jokes about hiring a Carpenter who has one of those leather things you put your hammer in and it's brand new..  well buds is not brand new he tells me he got it Back in 1975---  and furthermore his slip jointed pliers we're part of the original leather tool pouch

I don't know anybody in the world who could manage to hold on to one pair of pliers for 50 years... not me !!

the deep grass around here probably holds at least fourteen dozen fence mending pliers...  as i'd  go out to fix the fence drop it in the grass and forget about it only to find it four years later and a rusty lump. oh..  I will eventually be able to post his picture as soon as some 12 year old will show me how to get it off my phone and on to my computer.

 

Now if Judy and I can figure out something to do we really ought to go and have the oil changed in my car--  that forerunner does Yeoman service lugging trailers spreading hay sliding around on the snow and ice and it really doesn't have the motor that the Sequoia had---- so there are times when it has struggled a little and the least I can do is give it a drink of oil ---so I think I will try and do that today if we can figure out a way to kill time.... bill said he would help Get Me Out quickly...  my usual oil change means sitting with a puppy in their waiting room for at least 2 hours...  ah well.... they do have a coffee machine....
