11 29. tWo days now I have not made it to mail call—I have a very good reason---- my car is parked by the g-tent (75 feet away) the golf cart is stuck in the parking pit- with dead baqtteries- and my go cart up on melissa’s hii because that was an easier way to turkey dinner at janine’s-I don’t know if the go cart is dead or not-I can't get there to find out I'm good for walking 20 or 30 feet but to attempt 75 feet with nothing to grab hold of in the meantime it's probably not a good idea so basically I'm stuck in the house.... Which is not all that painful but it is inconvenient... I've taken that time to straighten out the monkey fists--and I certainly have a bunch of the one inch zipper pulls dyed and done
You know ---the ones that I did around a marble so if you think you've lost your marbles you have one left. I just finished one around the smaller bowling ball looks good very heavy would hold the door open or shut or whatever or kill somebody I suppose um I'm told they are now considered a weapon And treat it as such bye the TSA airport department or whatever. My problem is going to be the fact that the cost of rope has gone up terrifically with this extra tariff deal attached--that smaller bowling ball it's about 6 inches in diameter it has about 30 feet of rope in it--and although I did buy the rope before the tariff hit to replace that rope is now going to be about $1.10 a foot. That is if I decide to stay in the monkey fist business, making those monkey fist. certanly Beats sitting around doing nothing.
I'm told Gwen is in the state somewhere she has some reunion last night someplace and I think Janine was going to it also I don't know. I do know there were very few people around here yesterday and I am told that Justin. Is in charge of taking care of the two extra dogs over in the ICU building they seemed to be very nice great Danes.
We did have what some people would call. Thanksgiving dinner at janine's where everyone bought s ummomething and Justin had made a Turkey for us in michele's oven which is the only one on the Property---Ben ---Our Frenchman—made CREPES - They were really interesting as he folded all sorts of different things into them.. He had a big plate of those I didn't know you could make them all ahead of time like that but they were super nearly paper thin and at one point smeared with Nutella and at other times full of Turkey type stuff. We had a good time and I did make it down the back the Spiral staircase.
And I am ready to once again tackle building 25 I am coming down the homestretch on it but I do have one or two things that are too heavy for me sorry to say 1 is the magic heater blower that goes into the exhaust stove pipe we use that in the house for many years and it certainly does amplify the amount of heat you get out of the stove---I do want to save the thing in case I do get a stove going again-Colby was here and managed to get out of here before I asked him to lift anything heavy.. Which he accuses me of doing all the time. He's a six foot 2 X football player and it seems to me Lifting a thing or two should be within his capabilities .
Only have 3 or 4 more days of semi civilized temperature Before it gets so cold that I decide the making monkey fists in a warm house has a great deal of appeal.
NO SIGN OF ANY MATERIAL OUT OF LARKEY S TUMMY
