Stop the car....

"My God Billy Bob....stop the car" It seems I may have been too quick to say that "that jeep" rode like a Cadillac. Ya see, yesterday I went to Academy in Corpus Christi so's I could bitch out the manager bout them camp'n chairs what the webbing fell apart.....butt hang'n to the ground. It was a good ride on the way over there, but on the way back to Sinton....not so good. We was cruis'n along, bout a hunnert mile a hour (65), when I hit a tiny little bump in the road. I ain't talk'n no 4x4 or nuttin like that....it were a tiny bump. We was on a overpass, traffic was heavy....."death wobble". Holy crap, "that jeep" is wobbl'n like a hoochie coochie girl....what ever that is...but you get the idea. I were scared. Got a death grip on the steer wheel an' push'n on the brakes. Sadie Mae says "what the hell"? Back to the drawing board.

Nephew Joseph came in from the oil fields yesterday night for a couple days off. Hot damn.....now we gonna both climb up under "that jeep". Replace every bushing under there. Are ya get'n tired of hear'n bout "that jeep" yet??? Well, if'n I ever get the damn thing fixed, you won't hear bout it no more. I'll find something else to entertain ya with.

Speak'n bout be'n too quick to brag, this damn computer done froze slap up this morn'n. Wouldn't do nuttin. I ain't quite ready to go out and spend another $$$$$ on a brand spank'n new one. Not yet anyhows.

Remember I was tell'n ya bout that last step I missed an' fall down? Well, it did more damage than what I was think'n. I hurt when I stand, when I sit down and last night, when I was try'n to sleep. If'n ya don't know what sciatica is, it's when ya hurt your lower back (slipped disc's) and the pain goes all the way down your leg to your toes. I'm think'n I would rather give birth to a rhinoceros than experience this pain day in an' day out. Although, some days are better than others. Today ain't one of 'em.

Speak'n of today, why would anybody want to live anywhere else when the weather is so beautiful in south Texas?

Ok, I got some things to do.....laters

    1. He had no call to tell people not to go to the slabs 'cause it didn't fit his fancy. I loved it out there.

    2. That "so-and-so" graciously apologized. He didn't tell people not to go to the Slabs. He told ME not to go.

      BTW, this is the second time I've read a persnickety comment from you about me or one of my blog readers here on Billy Bob's blog. If you have something to say to me or one of my blog readers, why not say it on my blog?

  3. I have to admit, we don't do a lot of cold here in South Texas. Our Winter is pretty warm mostly, like today. Temps going back up to the 80's!

    Hope you get the jeep fixed up soon!

  4. Been where you are with that slipped disc thing. Had surgery 30 yrs. ago. No problem since then.
    My puddle jumper car has issues, too. Pain in the rear (besides sciatica) isn't it? Hope you get the jeep fixed up so you can tour in peace. Best to ya.
