Instructions

Instructions for digging a hole…A hole must be exactly three feet deep. The pole must be placed exactly in the middle of the hole. Only concrete may go back into the hole, no dirt is to fall back in. The three foot hole minus the diameter of the pole that is now directly in the center of the hole must be filled level with the ground with concrete. Dirt from the hole must be raked into a pile to be shoveled into a wheel barrel or a dump bucket on a tractor and then taken from the field and dumped on a dirt pile from other existing concrete holes.

I believe that if Ida, Louisiana is hotter than any surrounding area it would be because global warming is occurring on this 20 acre property that is full of concrete. I don’t know how many holes of been dug on this property, I’m not sure how many times they were dug and then pulled up and moved somewhere else…but these steps are to be followed E-V-E-R-Y single time!

Who does this you ask? Who uses two to three bags of concrete to make sure that an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, tsunami, atomic bomb will not all occur at the same time over this 20 acres? Who goes to such extremes that if these disasters were to occur at the exact same time in the exact same place that the only thing still standing would be these poles??? Yes, someone does this. These are not the only things that this person does to maddening extremes. He has two lawn mowers, a push mower and two tractors. One lawn mower is slightly larger than the other. The push mower is to be used in the back yard and for trimming around the fence and under swings hanging from the oak tree in his yard. The smaller of the two riding lawn mowers is ONLY to be used in the front yard and nowhere else. The large of the riding lawnmower is to be used outside the fenced in yard and may only be used on a low to medium setting. Just because this is a commercial lawn mower does not mean you can go even close to top speed, you will burn up the engine. The smaller of the two tractors, that is not enclosed or air conditioned, may be used to bush hog the big fields only when the grass is too tall and will bog down the larger lawn mower. The air conditioned tractor may not be used for…just about anything. It is only to sit there in the barn and look pretty.

If your child leaves the room you must follow him at all times, he might hurt something. Children are not to have rulers, crayons, pens or pencils they might right on something or scratch wooden furniture. They may not touch anything outside of the kitchen while in the house other than carpet, they may break something. They are children, accidents happen, they don’t mean to but it happens. Children are not to play in the house or get loud. It is ok for them to break their necks in the house, just don’t scratch the furniture doing it.

Just because you know what you are doing, and you have done it a million times, you have done it professionally or you have done it in the show ring…does not mean you know what you are doing. If you are not a qualified expert with references, you don’t know anything and therefore are not a reliable source. You may not do what you have always done because you don’t know what you are doing.
