The Vacuum Cleaner Salesman

The new salesman had just completed

his training and was anxious to puthis skills to work. He took his Hoovervacuum cleaner to the front door of ahouse and rang the bell.

A rather unpleasant woman answered. Before shecould say anything he threw a pile of cow patties inthe door behind her onto the rug. Lady, he said,If this vacuum cleaner doesnt clean up all thosecow patties, Ill eat them myself.

Ill get you a spoon, scowled the lady. Ourelectricity hasnt been turned on, yet.

My Work History Plays on Words

My first job was working in an orange juice factory,but I got canned...couldnt concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but Ijust couldnt hack it, so they gave me the ax.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasntsuited for it ...mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory but thatwas too exhausting.

Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would adda little spice to my life, but I just didnt have thethyme.

I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced

it, I couldnt cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually Ifound I wasnt noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become adoctor, but I didnt have any patience.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; Itried but I just didnt fit in.

I became a professional fisherman,but discovered that I couldnt live on my net income.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool main-

tenance company, but the work was just too draining.So then I got a job in a workout center, but theysaid I wasnt fit for the job.

After many years of trying to find steady work Ifinally got a job as a historian until I realized therewas no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I hadto quit because it was always the same old grind.Rudy A. Swale

Support a Family

The prospective son-in-law was asked by his girl

friends father, Son, can you support a family?

Well, no, sir, he replied. I was just planning to

support your daughter. The rest of you have to fend

for yourselves.

In 1853, the Tate Watch Company

of Connecticut decided to branch

out and produce other products.

Compasses for the pioneers traveling

west were their first new endeavor.

Although they produced fine and accurate watches,

the same was not true of their compasses. Travelers

would sometimes end up in Canada or Mexico. Thus

came about the phrase, He who has a Tates is lost.

The Water Pistol

My five year old son squealed withdelight when he opened his birthday

present from his grandmother. It was

a water pistol. He promptly ran to the

sink to fill it.

Mom, I said. Im surprised at you. Dont you

remember how we used to drive you crazy with water

pistols?

My mom smiled and said, Yes, I remember.

Dogs and cats are better thanchildren because they:

Eat less.

Usually come when called.Are easier to train.

Dont ask for money all the time.

Dont drink or smoke.

Dont hang out with friends who

use drugs.

Never ask to drive the car.

Dont have to have the latest fashions.

Dont want to wear your clothes.

Dont need a gazillion dollars for college, and If they

get pregnant, you can sell their children.

MANAGERS CORNER

As you are reading this someof you will be aware that the An-nual Lot Inspections are well un-derway.

Please take advantage of thepleasant weather to bring your

spaces into conformity with theRules and Regulations of SpanishRanch #1 MHP.

The remodel of the small club-

house is complete. RutherfordManagement did a wonderfulinternal remodel, adding new tilefloors in the entry way, kitchen andbathrooms. The bathrooms havenew fixtures. A kitchen area wasadded with a full size refrigerator,a microwave, granite countersand cabinets. A pass through was

added to aid in getting food intothe main room.

Come by the office and wewill open the small club house foryour viewing.

We will be working in the fu-ture to renovate the outside of thesmall clubhouse area.

Did you know that being agood neighbor is work? It meansthat we need to think through ouractions, language, and how theymay affect others near us.

An example of this is somethingthat some of our residents do andthis is, washing out their garbagecans in the gutters in front of theirhomes. We have to ask ourselves,where is this debris going andhow will it affect my neighbor?Besides a potential health risk toeveryone (drawing flys and bugsthat may breed illness) down-stream from your home, it is in theopinion of many, just simply rude.

In the future, please wash yourdebris cans in your rear yard, thenyou can bag the debris and placethe bag in your trash can where itbelongs.

Being a good neighbor alsoinvolves our vehicles. There are afew vehicles that are excessivelyloud (special exhaust pipes) andare causing undue stress to theirneighbors. Excessively loud ve-hicles are specifically addressed

in the Rules and Regulations forSpanish Ranch #1.

The pool is open. A copy ofthe Pool Rules is available in themain offices. Come by and pickup a copy so that you may more

fully enjoy your pool facilities.Unauthorized parking still re-

mains a problem. Remember, youmay park in the front of your homefor loading and unloading only.This means a period of less than 10minutes. Unauthorized parking invisitors parking is against the rulesand regulations. What is a guest ora visitor you may ask?

That definition is covered inthe Rule(s) and Regulation(s) asfollows:

2. GUESTSA. All guests must register in

the Park if they stay more than atotal of 20 consecutive days or 30days in a calendar year. No guestmay stay for over 60 days in anycalendar year.

B. You must acquaint all ofyour guests with the conditionsof tenancy of the Park, includingthese Rules and Regulations. Youare also personally responsible for

all the actions and conduct ofyour guests.

Except when your guests areentering and leaving the Park,you must accompany them at alltimes they are in the Park. If youwill not be present, your guestmay not occupy or use the mobilehome without our consent.

Guillermos CornerIf you are bringing a young

child that is not potty trained into

the pool or the hot tub, PLEASE in-sure that they are wearing swim-mer disposable diapers. Regulardiapers are NOT allowed in thehot tub or swimming pool. Regu-lar diapers will fall apart and plugthe pool/hot tub equipment andwill cause them to fail. If you arefound with unapproved wear onyour child, you will be asked toleave.

Vandalism continues to be a

challenge at the car washes, smallclubhouse and on the internal andexternal fences in your communi-ty. The fences at the car washesand at the small clubhouse arebeing broken on purpose. Graffiti

on the internal and external fenc-es is also on the rise.

Report those that are ob-served doing this to the office.

Garbage in the car wash areasis a continuing issue. Keep in mind,disposing of any type of materialOVER the fence into the creekareas may be a County or StateOffense and can be met with stifffines and other penalties.

Thanks for all the help in report-ing inoperative street lights. Keep

up the good work!Jeff Stoops

Park managers are required by HCD to sign off on a permit appli-cation for exterior items.

You might be surprised to learn that HCD requires permits forchanging your homes interior as well, but management does notget involved in this area.

The management office has plot plan forms required for the per-mit application.

The May 3, 2012 Special-call General MembershipMeeting and regular Board Meeting of Spanish Ranch1 Association was called to order at 7 p.m. by Presi-dent Pat Smith. Present were VP Dawn, Secty Jeanie,Treasurer Peggy, an board members Marvin, Clint,

Jerry and Brenda. Barbara Sacks was excused.

New president Pat and board member Brendawere welcomed by the group and guests were intro-duced.

Special Order of BusinessInsurance Policy

In years past the Association has shared the costof a $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy withLos Rancheros Charities, that runs Bingo. This policyprovides protection against lawsuits or claims againstBingo or the association should anyone suffer injury orharm while attending social events sponsored by us.

The owners of the park have liability insurance, ofcourse, which covers them and us for any incidentinvolving the buildings, furnishings and infrastructureof the park.

Given that many of our events are attended byfriends and relatives from outside the park, and Bingoand our periodic flea markets are open to the public,Association leadership felt the insurance is in our bestinterests. Besides Los Rancheros Charities, the SR1 As-sociation, NERT and the Ladies Club are specificallymentioned as sponsoring social events. NERT and theLadies Club run the Bingo snack bar.

The $1000 cost of the policy is to be split $500 Bingo,$400 Association and $100 NERT/Ladies Club.

It was moved and seconded to approve the ex-penditure of $400 for the insurance. Motion carried.

Minutes

The tabled minutes of the March 2012 meetingwere approved as published. The minutes of the April5, 2012 meeting were approved as published.

Treasurers Report

The treasurer reported a balance of $1338.53 andno activity for the month.

New ResidentsFor the benefit of the several new residents in atten-

dance, the various park committees were explainedas we went along.

Helping Hand/Yard Cleanup

Inspections are underway so there have been afew inquiries. Marvin noted that he understood thatresidents were being given a reasonable time toclean up and management intended to charge $300if they had to clean up your yard.

Residents on Murcia got a letter from the city tell-ing them they had to clean up the graffiti on the wallsat the back of their lots. It was established that theywere referring to the flood walls bordering the park,and residents are NOT responsible for those.

Creek Cleanup

It was pointed out that the crew doing bimonthlycreek cleanup does paint out the graffiti on the wallborder the park paralleling Miranda, but materialsare supplied by the county. There again, individualresidents are not responsible. The next creek cleanupis scheduled for June 16.

Social Events Discussion

In keeping with the focus on community-buildingand social events, the group discussed event ideas.The Pool Party is already planned for Sunday, May

6. Among the suggestions were a spaghetti feed,ice cream social and a movie night, similar to thosesponsored by the City at City Hall. A committee wasformed to get this rolling consisting of Pat, Dawn,Jeanie, Denise West, Larry Cooper and Cindy Evans.Denise provided Pat with names of Moreau students,previously involved with Spectrum, who have ex-pressed interest in helping with our events.

Emergency Prep update

A park-wide Emergency Preparedness meeting willbe held May 15. Regional Manager Greg OHaganhas agreed to come and speak to the group.

Self-Help Groups

A resident asked about the possibility of using theclubhouse for ongoing AA, 12-step, or similar meetingson a regular basis and was told by management toapproach the homeowners association. There wereno objection to helping the resident look into this.

EDITORIAL POLICIES(http://mobilehomeparkmagazines.com/mhbsite/

editorial/rules.aspx)

The Mobile Home Board publications informs and

promotes the mobile home system; residents, man-

agement and those that serve the mobile home

community.

The Mobile Home Board publications are not politi-cal tools. They are a source of information and enjoy-

ment for park residents. To ensure this policy we have

developed the following guidelines:

Editorial Guidelines:

Editor is responsible for gathering information and

sending it to us in a form they want. Each editor must

allow all residents organizations and management

to participate in the publication.

The publication is not to be used for disputes by

either residents or management. Mobile Home Park

Magazines must remain neutral in all resident/man-

agement issues to preserve the integrity of the maga-

zine. Not all residents are on one side or the other of

an issue. Since we do not research each story, we

cannot use Mobile Home Park Magazines to weigh

either side of these very fragile relationships.

Resident political organizations are asked to limit

their information to meeting notices and reports of

chapter meetings.
