No blackouts here

Let me see here, it's saturday morning, sun shining, a slight breeze out of the south, a couple sissy clouds and will probably warm up to 60 degs. before 9 am. I feel a little guilty sitting outside soak'n up the sun, sip'n on a cup, listening to surround sound Billy Bob kind of tunes and think'n.

Speak'n of tunes. Everyone knows old Billy Bob like to crank up the volume on the tunes and rattle the neighbors windows. I like it loud. Well, I went off to Walmart and bought me up another surround sound system what I was think'n would do the trick. Ha!!! All I did was deposit another $80 in Walmarts future retirement funds. After I gets the box all tore open and stuff lay'n all over the floor, I says...."this ain't what I want". "Jesus Billy Bob, Go to Best Buy, pay your $300 and get what ya want....sheesh!!!" If I ever get a system like I used to have, I promise I'll go go through every little town in Texas at 4 am vibrat'n every window in town.

Seems like some ya think old Billy Bob is still sick. Well he ain't. I was over that sick in less than 4 days. Maybe I should say 5 days, cause all I did was lay around read'n books and "do'n nuttin".  Damn it, I done tole you a long time ago.....take your vitamin "C". Ya ain't gonna get sick from them....ya gonna get well. But....since this was my first "flu" sick in like 20 years, there has been a few drawbacks or what ever. Still have a few coughs....probably from them nasty smokes and food tastes just like Texas Longhorn cow poop. My coffee even tastes funny and you know old Billy Bob likes his coffee.

Talk'n bout cold weather. Even the slabs got a good taste of it a few days ago. I think it got down to bout 32 degs one night and I thought I was gonna freeze to death. As I recall, the same thing happened last year bout this time. The entire US was snowed in, blizzards, ice storms, government shut down and even out presidents lips turned blue. But old Billy Bob just sits out here in the middle of nowhere with out a care in the world....soak'n up rays, sip'n a cup and think'n.

Yanked all that crap off the bottom of the boat that I spend a week building. The way I figger it, I done did what I said I was gonna do. Converted a Mississippi riverboat to remote control and it worked.

Talked to pesky neighbor Wayne yesterday night. Poor guy is freez'n over there in Deming. Below zero is not my choice of a place to spend the winter. Speak'n of "spend'n".....where the hell is old Billy Bob gonna be spend'n this summer? By the time it warms up in Deming, it will be hot in south Texas....or get'n close to hot. Find'n a place where an old man can just lay back and enjoy hisself seems to get harder each year. It's either too freak'n hot, too cold or too far to walk.

  1. yep I also am wondering where to spend the summer that is below 6000 feet. Find us a cool spot with great cheap golf.

  2. I'm thinking the same thing, but first, I got some traveling to do. This gypsy is tired of sitting in one place too long!

  3. You know BB, We just got back from Quartzsite,Az and I was talking to a guy that spends the winter there. He said that he moves to the Flagstaff,Az area and stays on BLM land there all summer and it stays nice and plesent. Another guy said he moves to Pie Town New Mexico in the summer and has for years. Both of them are full timers one in a class A the other in a TT.

  4. Altitude is the secret. Go up in the summer and down in the winter. That way you don't have to tavel far.
