By the way, it got down to a chill'n 42 degs again last night. Still not cold enough to break out the Mr Heater or nuttin like that, but cold enough for a old feller like me to complain while sit'n there on the couch at 2am with leg cramps.
Last night was a nuther one of them nights when the old Billy Bob was up an' down with leg cramps when he is suppose to be get'n beauty sleep. Ya see, I went off to the golf ball swak'n place yesterday. I hit that ball so hard I were think'n I ain't never gonna find that ball. But there it were, Lay'n up under a big ol bush. But when ya hit a ball that hard, ya gonna be pay'n for it later. Usually when you're supposed to be sleep'n. I had me some them "backards" leg cramps....toes point'n straight up in the air. What the hell kind of leg cramp is that???
Anyhows.....I usually ain't one to bring up the subject of golf on my blog, but today is a exception. Yesterdays game was right up there with the big boys. You know, the ones ya watch on TV ever weekend. Even old "pesky" was amazed at my golf ball swak'n ability...."not bad for a rookie" he would say. Com'n from grouchy old "pesky", that's a compliment.
Ok....here's the real deal. Total swaks on the front nine, 43. Total swaks on the back nine, 42. Add it up....that's a wonderful score of 85....no matter how ya look at it. 13 strokes over par...YEE HA!!!
Bout all I got done round "da house" yesterday was to pick up the jumper cables and put 'em in "that jeep". "Rough day Billy Bob...ya better lay down an' take a quick nap fore ya fall down from exhaustion".
Oh yeah. Speak'n of departure day, have ya looked at the weather forecasts down the road a piece? Well, I did. Friday, the day I had intended to depart, the winds is gonna be blow'n a hunnert mile a hour (23 to 28) out the southwest. That would surely (not Shirley) help my gasoline consumption, but if'n ya ain't never drive a big ol' motor home in a gale force wind, ya don't know what ya miss'n. It ain't no fun. None at all.
Then on top of all that, it's still hot in Del Rio, Texas (lower 90's day time) or something like that. That where I go'n ya know. But extended forecasts are subject to change. Ask any weather forecast'n man. Anyhows, I'll be postpon'n my friday departure to a more calm day.
Well, it's com'n to bout that time to replace this computer. It's got to the point it freezes up bout 2 or 5 time a day. Won't do nuttin. Just sit there an' says...."Oh, ya want a blue screen....Ok, here ya go". Last night I shut it down think'n all I had to do this morn'n was to push the "on" button. Wrong!!! Up pops a screen what says to push F1 to continue or push F10 for set up. What the hell??? I didn't do neither. I just push the "off" button like I always do. Eventually this sucker is gonna die....an' then I gonna be shoot'n it with a .357 magnum. Like what I did to that damn ol' clock. But, before I do all that, I'll try a "day one" set up.
That is some nice looking art you have done there.
ReplyDeleteThank ya Barney. Not what I wanted, but still beautiful.....in my book.
DeleteYou may have a computer virus or several computer viruses on your computer.
ReplyDeleteNah.....I got a squeel'n fan (gets hot), one hard drive what locks up an' won't spin....you should hear it when it first starts up....damn!!!
DeleteI have a excellent virus protection program.....won't even let me look at neekid wimmins. It's all in the mechanics of a POS HP computer.
Are you eating your bananas, Billy Bob, for potassium for preventing toe/leg cramps? Drink some electrolyte sports drink after your golf ball swakn'...like Gatorade...? I used to get a lot of leg cramps and Charlie Horses at night till I started eating a banana every day.
ReplyDeleteI've posted many time in the past, my leg cramps come from a injured back. All that other stuff don't help at all.
DeleteYa "bout freaked me out awhile ago speakin' bout not bloggin. Glad to see ya changed yer mind. Beautiful carving, yur gonna leave behind art work that'll get a hundret dollars some day!

ReplyDeleteChew on some walnuts and some almonds for the leg cramps, they contain a lot of magnesium and it will help...Drink lots of water sounds like you are dehydrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plenty of computers that are great at cheap prices, a new one won't set you back much and cause a lot less aggravation..As I get older if I can change something to be a lot less stressful I just change it go with the flow..have a good weekend, we are gearing up for 5 or 6 days of rain, it has been over 90 days since any measurable precipitation and I for one cannot wait, I walk in the rain, I have lots of rain gear..the sunshine and dry weather made me almost giddy, but know snow is not far from our area and I mean a monster snow storm, ice and inclement so bad power will be off, already ready for that crap too..Take it easy, keep hydrated with water, eat some nuts and cozey up in your sally da house, tomorrow in this area we had a Columbus Day storm to beat everything in 100 years, power lines down, winds ripped the roofs off of homes, trees gone forever, over 64 people lost their lives, it was a friday night, went to the highschool football field for a friday football game the goal posts snapped, we ran for our lives, will never forget that night, no power, for 2 days and the people who had to put the electric, etc. on risked their lives, one was a father of my best friend from grade school, never forget that day no matter where I have lived a friday night Columbus day in the pacific northwest, always felt I dodged a bullet then and appreciate life and my family so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooo don't get upsett over small things, a computer can be replaced and a life cannot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteSometimes you want to hook them jumpin cables up to the computer to reboot the sucker. Enjoy Texas and take them swackin sticks with you.

Way too many decisions to make without lots of porch sitting!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you did good with the golf game!
The driftwood piece is gorgeous! Turned out really nice. Sorry about those leg cramps, they soooo suck :-( I get lots of muscle spasms in my bad foot now. Tis no fun at all.
ReplyDeleteI hesitate to write this because someone always thinks you're trying to sell something. I am not. I never had leg cramps since growing pains in my early teens until after chemo therapy for breast cancer. Then I began getting them nightly, my toes would curl straight up OR under, I even got them in my fingers and hands. I Googled leg cramps and went to a site named stopslegcramps ( dot ) com. I ordered a bottle, it works, in minutes and you don't get them back for at least 24 hours. I found them cheaper at iherb ( dot) com. I now buy two bottles at a time, they last a few months. This is an amish recipe based on vinegar, ginger and garlic, and I've tried to dupicate it but never have been able to. My theory is the body gets overly acidic and this combo takes it back to alkaline.
ReplyDeleteI now take a capful before bed every night and I don't get them at all anymore. If you want to read about them just type one of those sites in and read reviews.
Happy to hear you're going to continue blogging Bill, I would miss you along with many other people and I love the eagle on wood, it's lovely even if it's not exactly how you wanted it. Happy travels Monday!
