COQUILLE DIARY APRIL 2000

COQUILLE DIARY APRIL 2000:

April 1:  Saturday, spent the day dragging stuff out of Tim's office and vacuuming the rug and then the fun really started putting the various components of the computer back in the armoire.  

Tim had gone downstairs and in a few minutes hustled back up yelling, "Quick Jubilee is having more kittens!"  "What!? I will sue the Vet!".  "April Fools!" Cackle, cackle, cackle. 

We had  purchased a long narrow folding table to serve as counterspace and we put a small office fridge beneath the table.
  
Sunday, I experimented with pizza.  I used two rolls of dinner rolls for crust and purchased other stuff on top.  It turned out okay.  

Finally found NPR to listen to on Sunday mornings.  Yay!  I loved to listen to Weekend Edition on KBRW in Barrow.  Then Fran Tate would be on with Jazz Below Zero.

4-18: We had a baby delivered over the weekend.  Mom had no prenatal care, this is a nightmare for the docs but baby boy was healthy.  Mom kept taking Depo-Provera while pregnant.  Guess nothing was wrong with baby.

Heard a beauty of a story at work, all quite true:  Stacy G and her husband purchased a pot belly pig.  She and her husband went to go pick up the pig at the owner's home.  The former owner told them that the pig was house broken and would nudge them when it needed a pee break.  On their way home the pig nudged and they kept driving. The little pig went wee, wee, wee on the way home.  Not too long after that the pig once nudged them again and they decided to stop and give the pig a pee break.  They pulled over and noticed a state trooper parked just a little ways further.  The pig promptly went over to the side of the road and performed it's business.  The new owners called the pig to come and the  pig took off into the field at 60 miles an hour.  The cop almost burned himself with hot coffee from laughing so hard.  Stacy and husband gave up and went home.  Someone suggested they go back and rattle some pig chow in a metal pan.  Nope not worky.  Free piggy!!

4-20: Today we had the rep from Oregon Department of Statistics bring the software to install the electronic birth certificate program.  It works wonderful.

This was in the paper last week.  A chicken ranch was busted in Myrtle Point for cock fighting.  About thirty people scattered into the woods.  What some people won't do for fun??

We subjected ourselves to a used car salesman this last weekend. Looking for a beater for Tim. It was not pleasant.  Got our chops beaten and I got mad and walked out and asked Tim to get the cards so we could leave.  Keep looking.  That was very unpleasant.

Enough for April.

G'night folks
