Two dumb mistakes in one day

This latest series of boondock'n news has been brought to you by Billy Bob Reports Inc. As with any breaking news, it soon becomes old news. And for that reason and that reason alone, I will never again mention boondock'n in my daily reports. Well, maybe onest in a while I might mention it. If'n I want to that is.

Again last night, it got quite chilly outside....40 degs. I would rekon when I got up at 4:30am to do my nightly business chore, it were close to 48 degs inside "da house". I know it were cold an' that all I'm gonna say bout that.
But things are look'n up for a great future in south Texas. Night time lows in the upper 40's an' lower 50's. Of course the day time temps are to remain in the upper 60's for the next 4 or 5 days. That's almost good fish'n weather ya know.

Had one follower email me ask'n for photos. Ok, what the hell am I supposed to be tak'n photos of....the couch or dirty dishes??? Now I remember a time when I posted lots of photos. It was easy 'cause I were always do'n something that was photo worthy. You know, projects an' stuff like that. Well I ain't got no projects in the workings right now. All I been do'n is attempt'n to stay warm inside "da house" an' read'n western/cowboy books. Hang in there folks, this warmer weather may change that.

On another point of view, I don't get around like I used to do, so's I don't get to places to take photos. That would have to be for the fact that old age is creep'n into my life. To give ya a idea what I'm talk'n bout, the other day I climb up there on the roof to clean off the solar panels. By the time I got back to solid ground under my feet, I was wore slap out....couldn't breath worth a crap. An' my hip hurted from that first step on the ladder....bout 30 inch off the ground. Or something like that. OFM Barney know 'cause he been up there a few times.

On the trip to Walmart in Rio Grande City yesterday, I made two very bad decisions. Never pull out in front of a Mustang go'n a hunnert mile a hour. Scare hell out me it did. As the guy crossed the double yeller line to pass, he flip me a bird an' keep on go'n a hunnert mile a hour. I just wave back at him think'n he gave me a friendly Texas wave. Then, the light was get'n ready to change to red. So's I stomp the gas so's I don't have to wait through no red light. Holy crap, there a big ol' truck stop right slap in the middle the road. Let school kids cross. Scare the hell out me one more time. Thought I was gonna plow right in the back of that big ol' truck. Kind'a look'n like that maybe I need to be pay'n attention an' be a bit more cautious with my driv'n.

You know them little battery powered go buggies they got at Walmart? Handicap go carts, that what they are. Anyhows, there was a convention of 'em (4), talk'n an' stuff, right in the middle of the asile where I was intend'n to go. Now I know they speak some English, but do you think they understood "excuse me"? Hell no they didn't. They weren't gonna let this old white gringo pass for nuttin. Had to go around up into the ladies underdrawer section. Pretty neat stuff in there. Got my meds, a bag of bird seed an' 24 20oz. bottles of Sams Purified drink'n water. That for my coffee ya know.

Speak'n of meds, call my doctor over there in Deming, New Mexico. See what he say if'n I quit tak'n Advair. He says "hell no" real quick like. Got to take it the rest of my life if'n I wanna keep breath'n. Either that or tote me a oxygen bottle everwheres I go like what old "pesky neighbor" Wayne do. Then in his next breath, he says...."what ever you do, don't get pneumonia". Now what the hell he mean by that?

Since I mentioned Wayne, I figgered I might just give him a call. He's do'n fine, stay'n warm, eat'n good an' all that stuff. I was begin'n to worry since I ain't talk to him in a while. He's handle'n the cold weather just fine.

  1. There is a vaccine for pneumonia - it lasts about 4 or 5 yrs and I'm due for one. What a shame you were forced to walk through Walmart's ladies underdrawer section - hope you didn't hang around and fondle it.

  2. I had my 1st pneumonia AFTER i took the vaccine. And even the ads on tv say that's a side effect of Advair, BB. When i questioned my doc he said there were other kinds of pneumonia. Like there are other kinds of inhalers,,without that side effect. But he didn't waste any time putting me on another one,,spiriva. I have COPD, with emphysema.
