Mississippi bound

Even though I were feel'n really good bout be'n back on the road yesterday, I stopped at my destination for a good nights rest. I could have gone on for another hunnert mile or so, but "what's the hurry"?

Then it struck me as I sit here think'n....."ya ain't got no television Billy Bob". What the hell am I gonna do for the next 4 hours before bed time? What could be better than to put my hiking boots on and go for a little hike in the rest area. Talk to a few truckers. Walk over to the woods look'n for wild critters.....bears, rattlesnakes, spiders....stuff like that. Ok, that ate up a whole 30 minutes...."now what ya gonna do Billy Bob"?

Got to think'n bout that little cactus garden and doll house. I ain't never build a doll house before, but I did build a VW beetle in the sand on the beach in Port Aransas years ago. Here's what I'm think'n. First off I got to build a water tite container thingy for the cactus garden....it gonna sit over there on that cabinet thingy I bought not long ago. The mini-cactus will come from Walmart if'n they still sell them. A few can be plucked from the desert areas I'll be travel'n in.

In the middle of that cactus garden will sit a homemade Mexican styled adobe house, built out of homemade adobe bricks/blocks. Complete with tar paper and concrete blocks on the roof (maybe). Adobe mixing material can be purchased online, but I'm think'n to pick up a bag full of New Mexico clay and sand off the old family homesteads in Columbus. Kind of make a "special" project. What ya think??? It's either a doll house or a helicopter.

Ok, it's bout time to crank up "Sally da house" an' head 'em up west. Wagons ho....
Look for updates.

Yee Ha, Yippy kie yah....or something like that, got 350 miles behind me.  "Google is your best friend Billy Bob...it's 'Yippee-ki-yay'...sheesh".

Sit'n here in the only other rest area in Mississippi, bout half ways through. It's look'n like I'm gonna have to drive some extra miles today. My destination stop is only down the road bout 75/80 mile. But....did ya know, Looseanna ain't got no rest areas. Oh wait, yeah they do....bout half ways across the state. "Damn Billy Bob, cain't ya read a map"???
Ain't at all tired, but I sure as hell was hungry. And of course I had to walk that damn dog to do her stuff ya know. And what did she do? Sat her butt down right next to mine in the shade of a big ol' oak tree and that was it. Ain't never gonna take that dog for a walk anymores.

Ok....a few minutes lay back time on the couch and head 'em up west. See ya down the road a piece.

7:30pm eastern

Fount me a place "Sally da house" would fit into an' pump some gas into the tank. I were get'n a bit low. Put in 51 gallons @ $3.46.9. That should last me bout a day and a half. Of course that depends on how far I drive a day.

Boy howdy, you shoulda hear the old Billy Bob back up the road. It were GRRRRRRRRRR, grrrrrrrrr, grrrrrr....cuss cuss cuss. Make a sailor take a back seat. Ya see, it were like this, I had make a wise decision to drive on to the next rest area, since it were too early to go to bed an' I weren't tired yet. But, by the time I get to that other rest area, I were wored slap out....couldn't keep my eyes open. At the rest area exit, there was 5 gallon buckets, 55 gallon oil drums, 2x4's and a concrete barricades all over the place....block'n the entrance. I were pissed I betcha a dollar. Then on down the road on the other side was another rest area, go'n the other way ya know, an' that sucker was open......full of trucks and cars. Set the old Billy Bob off all over again.

Now I'm almost in Texas by bout 35 mile. I were gonna go all the way, but fount this big ol' park'n lot behind one them gambl'n establishments. This where I gonna spend the night. Load up the .357, lay back and watch the sun go down.

No I ain't took no damn pictures. Still nuttin but trees and never end'n highway.
