Woke up to another beautiful morning.....after a terrible nights sleep. Ya see, it's like this.....there been some kind of bugs bit'n on me. There a little hole where they took a chomp out me and then the bites turn red, itch up a storm and feel like somebody stick me with a 16 penny nail. First off, it ain't skeeters, although I have seen a few. It ain't ants. I seen a bunch of little bitty black spiders run'n round, so I'm think'n maybe it's them what been chew'n on me. There ain't nuttin else run'n round here.....just skeeters, ants and little bitty spiders.
Went off fish'n again last night. Caught me up bout a dozen big ol' bite size perches or something like that.....probably bluegill. Boy howdy let me tell ya, it were hot out there. I was sweat'n up a storm like one them stuffed hogs. Had to go back to "da house" it were so hot. Weather forecast says today is gonna be "super hot" so old Billy Bob ain't gonna be outside too much. I ain't complain'n ya know, but this crap sucks.
Fount me another super good look'n place to go camp'n an' fish'n when I leave here. Called Coleto Creek Park on the Coleto Creek Reservoir just down the road a piece from Victoria, Texas. But, there is a problem with that. First off the fees are outrageous ($34 a night). I'm think'n old Billy Bob deserves just about what ever his little heart desires, but....holy cows, $34 a night??? What ya think?? Secondly, there is Labor Day weekend com'n up. I ain't gonna spend much time think'n bout it till after I give them a call about reservations. I don't normally do reservations, but this may be an occasion of "have to".
Ok....gotta get off my ass and do something...even if it ain't right. Go outside, sit on "da porch", sip a cup and do some think'n.
Check back laters....
Not only did I get me a nice nap, I done some more research on cooler places to go and I figger, I ain't got no place to go where it ain't miserabl. My God, everywheres I look it 105 degs plus. Down on the island (Port Aransas) it's 97 degs today. now if'n ya ever been in 97 degs with 85%+ humidity, you know what miserable is. That why Barney left that area.
Maybe this global warming thing ain't a hoax after all. Although I think it is, but then I'm not a democrat....oops, that could be a political statement. Sorry!!!
?
Did you make up a fish chowder with them little fishes? Do you think your bites are from fleas?
ReplyDeleteLOL Dizzy, them fish was too little to even think bout eat'n. Don't think there's any fleas. Got one bite right up under the flap on my sandal. That the one drive me nuts last night.
ReplyDeleteColeto Creek costs too much for me. I have never seen the lake.
ReplyDeleteGoliad has a nice $tate park and a very good restaurant on the square-empressario is the name. I will be here for the big weekend, Cedar Cove in Elephant Butte.
Sounds like chiggers to me. Ur campsite looks like it could be a great place for them. One remedy, spary ur ankles real good with right guard. Or, Bathe as soon as u go in. Only other, just scratch. lololol Hate those thangs. In the middle of the spot, u can see this tiny little red speck. That's them. We have put clear fingernail polish on them too. They will congregate where there's tight places from clothes, more blood there. lolololol
ReplyDeleteYup, chiggers crossed my mind since there grass over there where I been fish'n. But I got bites on my arms. I ain't been lay'n in the grass so I will discount chiggers.
ReplyDeleteIt's too expensive for me to Barney, but sure do look like a grand place to spend a few days. If things don't work out, I'll just find me a cheap ol' rv park and lay back "do'n nuttin".
Hi Billy Bob, You need to get a copy of Texas State Travel Guide. It has a listing of all the Texas lakes in it. The size of the lake and area it is located is included along with activities there. It can be ordered online at: www.traveltex.com or pick one at a tourist info site.
ReplyDeleteSounds like chiggers or no-seeums to me. Did you sit on the ground or a rock, the chiggers will get you. The no-seeums will get you if you stay too long under a tree during early morning hours when it's cool or if your screen mesh is not "no-seeum" sreens. The no-seeums are tiny little flying creatures that pack a heck of a bite. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI aam pretty sure the dreaded fooch lizard has been nipping you.

ReplyDeleteDust your legs an feet with sulfer when your going out in the grass.
ReplyDeleteMy guess would be chiggers too. About drove me crazy only thing I found worked was Deep Woods OFF.
ReplyDeleteBTW Sadie Mae could have also gotten them.
Must have been a democrap, that bit you.
ReplyDeleteMust have been a democrap that bit ya.
ReplyDeleteAs for a cool place to camp, although not nearby, you could head back to NM and check out Cloudcroft or Angelfire. This morning at 6AM here it's 88 in north TX, 53 in Angel Fire, and 64 in Cloudcroft.
ReplyDeleteJust an idear..
