It's a new day! A new week! Possibilities are popping up like Spring flowers!
I start the day kissing my wife as she is off to teach all the little children.
Wait, she can't back out of the driveway because the compressor is kinda in the
way. I had to get it out to blow up the tires and stuff on the riding mower
that it took three days to resurrect from it's winter sleep. I move it. It is a
heavy. She is off!
Ah, the kettle is whistling, the water is hot for morning coffee, but wait!
That's right, last night something fell out off the kitchen window sill and
onto the roof. It was the coffee filters! That's OK, I'll just use the ladder
to climb onto the roof. My house shoes are not the best for this, I should put
on my sandals. But wait! How cute, the gorilla sized German Shepard puppy from
next door has eaten one of them. Oh, well. I'll just make it work with house
shoes. OK! I have coffee.
My list of things to do today. I must call the County to try to get help fixing
my road that leads up to the highway. Even though it is 6/10 of a mile and has
four houses, the county says it is a "RD", residential drive, and not their
responsibility. The recent hard and non-stop rains have cut canyons big enough
for donkey rides all over it. I may have to get a real road company out to give
me estimates, since I don't want to waste thousands of dollars again, just to
watch it wash out. Living and learning!
And what is this crap with the electric company who can't figure out how to
apply each payment to the three meters I have. They keep applying two payments
to one meter so it has a credit and they turn off the power to the others for
non-payment. These country folk are so cute!
My list is getting longer. Oh, yeah, I have that underground water leak at the
garage. I get to talk to the local plumber. I told him that I had decided to
hire him now instead of later, after I had screwed it up so bad that I need to
pay to repair the damage I did before I pay him to fix the original problem. HA
HA! He said that he will get to it, probably in a couple of months. HA HA!
Oh, I can't forget to call the CPA and go down to the Tax Assessor office to
explain that the two other houses are uninhabitable, so I shouldn't be paying
tax on rental property. Maybe they will take this bill back, you think? Sure
they will.
Gee, I really need to get this paperwork out of the way so that I can mow our
13 acres of two foot jungle that has exploded with all the rain. But wait,
remember the little wheel that broke off last year? Oh yeah, I need to fix that
because it just gouges big ruts if I don't. I will need to go to Tractor Supply
for the round stock to cut and weld a new little axle, if I can find the flux
that I couldn't find last week.
OH NO! I forgot about the friggin' surprise birthday party at six! A present?
And I have an overdue book at the library. I didn't even have time to open it.
Oh, and I told Jan that I would put together the outdoor kitchen. But I have to
install the door from the garage to outside. And what about all these movie
cameras? And the printer that won't work and the refrigerator door isn't level
anymore and it won't close right and the hummingbird feeder and the trailer, oh
yeah, the trailer! My Drivers License is going to expire according to the lady
at Sam's! AND THE TALKING DEER AND THE SHELVES AND THE TELESCOPE!!!!!!
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE TALKING TO YOU!!!
no beer until later. no beer until later. no beer until later. My Dad
is going to kick my ass!
