Back to bored

Boy howdy, it sure is boring in Deming. Now that the "little blow up bass fish'n boat" is finished and stowed in the back of "that jeep", I don't have nuttin to do. But there have been some questions about this little boat, what I will attempt to answer to the best of my knowledge.

The question I like best is from Bob in Athens. Yeah I know all bout them blow up boats do'n a flip flop if ya don't get in the right way. My first experience was way back in 19 bout 72. Had me a little one man raft. Put all my stuff in it for a couple hours of bass fish'n on Lake Lanier in Georgia. I put one foot in the boat and the other in dry land. You know what happen....I got wet. Then I tried the ol' "jump aboard" trick. Again, ya know what happen. After I done almost drown myself right there at the bank, I learn how to get in that thing. I suppose get'n into a blow up canoe is bout the same as get'n into a blow up raft.

Then old Ben is concerned with wrinkles. Well hell, all old folks get wrinkles. But the wrinkles in the boat are normal. No need to worry Ben, it gonna float wrinkles and all.

Then my concern is pressure. The people what designed this thing designed it for 1.5 pounds of pressure. Well, after a few hours of research try'n to figger out how much pressure my little 12 volt Coleman Quick Pump will pump.....I'm safe to say I don't need no stink'n pressure gauge. The pump only pumps 39 mbar ..... (.59 pound of pressure when converted).

Spent the last two days put'n up tools and clean'n off "da porch". Now there room for sip'n a cup and think'n. Now I'm not say'n that it's a perfect job of clean'n and put'n up stuff, but I can walk from one end to the other without step'n over stuff. I call that progress.

Oh, did I tell ya that a couple hours on the phone to my two insurance companies will save me over $1,000 a year??? I already saved $500 a year on "that jeep" by changing coverage from Texas to New Mexico. But, when I did that, the insurance on "da house" went up $400 a year.  So....I tole them to figger me up a quote on "full time r/v'er" coverage on "da house" in New Mexico. What they did. $1000 cheaper than my current coverage in Texas. So, what you think old Billy Bob gonna do???

I have a very strange neighbor. Ya see, it's like this. He's 77 year old and has more money than anybody, all his stuff is better than anybody, he knows everything, been everywhere in the world, wears cowboy boots and he walks funny. He even says "that jeep" was made by Suzuki. Damn'ed old fart piss old Billy Bob off.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to tell ya...Sadie Mae is on a diet. No more people food. Now all I got to do is hope that pesky neighbor Wayne will abide by the rules.

  1. I believe that I just posted a comment on your blog that was directed to someone else. Guess my age is showing. . . BTW it comes to 0.5733 psi. If you pump it up at Deming and take it down to the coast it will be over inflated.

  4. That wasn't nice Bob. By now everyone should know old Billy Bob deals in junk from Walmart. I never claim to have the best of everything or know more than anyone else.

  6. Dogs have a problem with diets. They are constantly starving. You can help fill em up without adding calories by giving them canned pumpkin. Healthy, low cal and mixes well with dried kibble.
    Good Luck. Don't forget to tell her how sexy she's gonna look!
