dd 3.25
Dd 3 25 where there's a will there's a way. this fool computer it is so very demanding ----it makes its own executive decisions for which there is no recourse....
Yesterday's 100% rain was indeed just that... but that allowed me to stay inside and think inside thoughts like furniture moving which is not easily done in a wheelchair. I really have to respect the fact that at any moment I can lose my balance--coupled with the fact that I am increasingly deaf causing one of the golden warriors to say have you tried cleaning your ears? ---- I suppose they have a point I'll look into that---in the meantime the furniture is moved in preparation for the arrival of the many many pieces that make up the £700 Glenwood cook stove.. which we're going which I'm going to move in here as a useful object of art. Until we can figure out how and where to go through the roof----There is a special piece of pipe which is double walled stainless steel maybe at about 2 foot long which is the section of pipe needed to go through a wooden roof it can be done at least it has been done for years very successfully but that could be before they had a committee to decide if that should be done. starting hopefully today---I can very easily lift off the Chrome trim the doors are easily lifted off and the entire top working surface just lifts off--- if I set a wagon or wheelbarrow or something at the door we could make serious progress in about an hour.
The problem then becomes the fact that simply running up and down the hill with a wagon is really not in my capabilities at the moment and unfortunately may I never again be that capabile . I must accept the fact the I may never again enjoy the daily exercise of doing the stalls and shoveling manure.... if it's kept up manure maintenance it's not a disagreeable occupation and I must say the barn right now it's in better shape than it ever has been between janine’s remodeling efforts. And nicks tenacity and the brute strength of Wallace and relatives we are in good shape and with that lovely little scooter I could actually get down the alleyway of the barn to see the magnificent progress being made as soon as the weather clears I want to get in and see exactly what got left if anything in the area of kennels one through 10 I had which was technically the only area leased out for the training of service dogs—
I have begun to research the replacement of our instant on generators--the one most badly needed would be a very small unit for the laundry building and cabin with just enough electricity to run a fan necessary for 2 pellet stoves which would keep heat coming maybe a light or two—charge phones and run computer in my area and teh cabin.... it would not need a $20,000 generator—but one about $4000 would keep us warm and with pellets... pipes not frozen.. They don't tell you in the small print that these pellet stoves must have an electric fan to move the smoke out through the wall because without that fan all the fumes come off into the buildings-- they also don't tell you that the pellets are made from stripping perfectly good trees. making it into pellets the ship to Europe--- it is as bad as shipping hay for Arabian horses-- and I can very easily be off and running with my dissertation on growing the salads in California and shipping the produce to the East Coast to be chewed and swallowed and deposited in the Atlantic...
I am totally enjoying the concept that less is better And I really would like to reclaim only part of the paraphernalia currently stored in the barn the G tent the storage unit the RV and three horse trailers along with building 25...
