    Project change

    OK, I lied, the next Project was the deck and steps. Made life mch easier geting into the trailer with a hand full of groceries.. 90% of this was made with Cull scrap) lumber from Home Depot @.51 cents a board.
    March 27

    Shed 2 Finished.

    Shed two is up, and just one strip on the roof to go.  The next project will be the patio area, and the walk to the front of the trailer.
    We added some plants tothe front along with out Gnomes, so it's looking a bit more like home..

    one down one to go.

    Well, things are going great, We have one shed up, and working on the second now. The winds are picking up again so may have to put off some of the construction till it dies down. Angel loves it here, and has a ball chasing all the other dogs down by the lake. We finally talked the owners into fencing off both ends of the grass area so the dogs could run free and play without worring about them running off.
    One up and the pad is ready for #2
    It's hard to tell but both sheds are 8'x10'
     
    More to follow...

    Finally a Home.

    Well, I think we have finally found a place to call home. Strange how things can turn around when you least Expect it.
     
    We have moved to Desert Hot Springs. We found a wonderfull resort. Nice people, Great attitudes and lots of room for Angel.
     
    Now we have to clean up our site and put up some sheds for storage.
     
    A note for those of you who use the Lego type leveling blocks....."DON'T"
    when I stup the low side of my trailer on them, and put out the slide, the trailer slid off of the blocks due to the weight shift. the Tounge went 8" into the ground and lyuckly didn't break or bend. "Phewwwwwwww"!!!!
     
    They're ok for under the sway supports, but DO NOT put them under the tires for leveling..use good old fassioned Lumber.
     
    The adventure continues.....Please stand by....Open-mouthed You can see pics.under the RV Parks.07092008241

    Another day another Jerk...

    Well, You can find all the nice parks in the world, but when they have ass holes running them, you end up right back at square one. Once again we found another Ignorant manager who doesn't know the laws.
    space owner ok'd the move in, I turned on the electric and the manager calls the owner and tells him not to rent to me becouse of the dog. 1. he can not make assumptions as to the dogs attitude or weather sh barks or not when he's never seen her. 1. if he doesn't think she's an assistance dog he has to go threw animal services, and 3. The association is the governing body at the site not him, it's not his decission to make...Sooooo, looks like another case for the Attorney....You know, a guy could get rich on peoples stupidity...hehehehe
    Oh well, life goes on. might have to resort to Wall-Mart or Lowes parking lot...heheheheh Any one got a 50 x 30 lot they want to rent??

    Moving again

    Well, we found a place to move, it's a nice 55 and over park, and the rent is much better. Unfortunatly it's 20 miles further away. Time for my favorite activity, Packing...Stowing, and keeping things from falling out of the cubbords...hehhehe
    January 04

    I'm in shock..

    Well I'm totally shocked, the manager came to me and appolgized to me for the way she approched me, and is fine with the dog. I about fainted on the spot. I guess i'll have to reconsider my thought on mankind...hehehe

    The battle continues.

    Well, here we are all moved and settled. Once again The battle continues. The same old crap, "Keep the Dog Out", No asking, no questions, just get the dog out. I've aclled the Animal controll service and they tell me I'm in my right, and that they have finally gotten the tags from the state, so at least now I have a source for Angels tag. Maybe now every one will get off my back.
     
     The discouraging part is that everyone seems to ignore you, and pass the buck. They don't want to go out of their way to give you the information you need. I was told by one lady, "Ill call you first thing in the AM"... I'm still waiting for that call. when I try to call her all i get is a buisy signal, so The Game continues.

    On the move again

    Well we're on the move agan, all becouse the management and owner of this RV Park are ignorant of the ADA rules and regulations reguarding service animals.I have been training Angel sisnce i got her for this, and it is now beconming a real issue. In order to train the dog you have to take her with you where ever you go, and when i take her into the office for mail pickup, or to just get information they tell me to get the dog out. Even after giving them the regs, and showing them her Card, they still refuse to accept her as a service do becouse she does not have a certificate and I'm not a licensed trainer, no of which i have to have. Te reg states that i can train my on animal, and than no certificate or license is required by me or my dog. and that she has the right to go where ever I go. The only thing they can ask is if i'm a trainer or disabled, and is she a service animal, nothing more.
    So, first i lost my security job for not obeying the rules, and now i'm being evicted for the same thing, taking the dog into the office and arguing the point with the Mgr. It's a shame some people just hav eto be so erogant they can't accept the laws, and think they can make there own rules.
    The hard part of all of this is finding a place to go at this time of year, as the snow birds are taking up all the available spots.
    Wish me luck, we're off on another adventure...

    Settling in

    Well, Angel and I are getting serttled into the trailer again. It's kind of cramped with the dog cage in here but it works . It would really be nice if I could have a small storage shed, but the state seems to think something is wrong with them in a trailer park so we suffer. Angel is doing really good with her training, (she  going to be a service dog) I'm having a lot of trouble grom buisnesses letting me take her with me into the store or offices. They seem to have the misconception that she has to have a certificate, or halter, or special papers to show them. I wish they would read the regulations. It's actually agains the law for them to ask for them. She can't learn if she can't go into public places. becouse I can't afford professional training, I have to train her myself, hence no license (not required).Having been an abused and abandon dog, angel has seperation problems and could not work with another trainer, so now tht i m training her she is fine and very relaxed while learning. Being half Lab and Half Cyote, she is very smart, and learns quickly. At 10 months she has already been the demise of two intruders at the RV Park, and stopped another two attempts. So I'm pretty proud of My ANGEL.

    Talking about Another yr older, Deeper in debt..

      Well here we aRE BACK IN THE TRAILER. wE'VE ADDED A NEW MATE, aNGLE (MY NEW DOG) IS TRYING TO ADAPT TO THE TIGHT QUARTERS. The House was nice but when your not workin , it's pretty hard makin those high payments. Besides the trailer is much cozier. We're in the process ofd selling everything off, although it seems more like we're giving it away. I just hope that they don't tell me to move, becouse the trailer is so over loaded it won't roll 10 feet.heeheh It's been a hard year, as work is non existant, and Social security is a real Joke. think i'll look up one of those retired CEO';s and see if I can camp on their lawn....

    Devil in disquise

    Today was a day from Hell,the Angel desided to dig up my potted tree i the house, as i walked into the living room, all i could see was apile of dirt and branches all over the livingroom rug. I almost had a heart attack, I chased the dog all over the house, and put her in the laundry room for 3 hrs while i cleaned it up. Well all went well for a couple Hours, gave the dog a chew bone, petted and played with her and POW, just when i wasn't looking she snuck back intothe livingroom and did it all over again, I was ready to Kil her right there on the spot, and to top it off she peed too. needless to say she got her nose shovet to the bottom of the pot, and the pile of dirt and the puddle of pee, and shoved out the door where sh is going to remail untill tomorrow morning...and longer if this crap continues....her other trick is to pull the paper  off the roll in the bathroom..she loves that one...then proceeds to chew it up into pieces...now, can you tell me why i should keep this Devil in Disquise??????

    All legal now

    Well, Angel is legal now and has all her shots. She's really getting to be a great dog, she's walking on a leash now without pulling, and will sit and lay down, with a little encouragement. She even has her own internet site at..www.dogster.com I think she's getting spoiled....

    Family Addition

    Well, I said i'd never do this but the good lord had other Ideas. Yesturday I found this Little angel on my porch shivering and cowering in the cornerand wanting nothing to do with a human at all. I gained her confedance and finaly got her to come to me so i could check her out. She had been out for sometime and was filthy skinny and very hungry. She acted as though someone had misstreated her. I took her in thinking someone would claim her but nothing, so I have adopted her. I know,i need a dog like i need a whole in the head, but I couldn't resist. it was like having a small child looking at me and begging for food and a home. So I would like to introduce you to Angel. the newest member of my family. She is quite well behaved, and sits by my side constantly, she goes outside to go potty, and only had one small tinkle inside becouse she was scared when i approched her. She slept beside me on her blanket all night, What a puppy. I guess next i'll have to take her in and make sure she has had her shots. Probably has but never know. We had our first bath today, and it was a very soaking experience to say the least. She looks much brighter now, think we could have planted a flower bed with all the dirt.

    nosey neighbors

    I swear some people just have to stick there nose in everyones buisness and screw with everyones life. Some nosey neighbor decided he didn't like my travel trailer in front of my house while I work on it, and clean it up so i can move back into it.  So he reported it to the Association and now they told me i had to have it moved out in 24 hrs. or pay a fine of 100.00 . What ever happend to the persute of happiness. It's getting more like Russia every day. Seems like there's always someone that has to try and run your life fore you. Your Kids, your neighbors, or the local government. Doesn't mater what you want to do, becouse there going to change it to meet there liking. I want to create my own state. and call it the state of happiness. where i make the laws and rules and everyone else can kiss my tail if the don't like it.
