Oh my....some of the best comments I read in a hunnert years.
Blogs show a picture of the person writing that blog. Ya kind of take a like'n to them after a while. Ya get to know them. Like when a neighbor move in next door, ya want to get to know them. Ya watch 'em real close to see if'n they anything like you are. Then ya get a conversation go'n. That's good.
Yesterday comments was just like that, a conversation. Personal information was exchanged. That makes me happy. It brings me closer to those that I don't even know.....other than by internet.
Ok Sissy, I didn't refer to you yesterday by name....only the nice lady from Tennessee. Your comments mean so much to me. And then there's all the others that I seldom refer to by name....your comments mean so much to me also. I'm not one for make'n many comments on blogs. Ya see, when I get to writ'n, it's hard for me to stop....an' in the process, the comment ends up with a bunch of nonsense that nobody would be interested in. In some cases, I might even piss somebody off.
Ok, I'm done with that. I thank everbody that comments on my blog. Some of ya, I know better now.
This is Sunday....a day of rest. Well it is to some people, an' I'm think'n I'll go along with 'em today and rest myself. I didn't do much yesterday even though I wanted to. And I probly ain't gonna do much today. At this rate, I ain't never gonna get done.
And then I got to think'n....so what? There ain't no rules that say a RV'er has got to be on the road all the time, every day of the year. In the last 12 years I been on the road a plenty. Maybe ain't went everwheres I wanted to visit, but I got some miles behind me. I been to places I ain't even wanted to go. Seen stuff I wasn't even interested in. But I was there. Now I'm at a point...wait'n on stuff, repairs not done, health issues, a couple teeth to yank out....I don't need to be go'n down the road a hunnert mile a hour. So here I sit. Not happy, but not dead neither. When I feel I'm ready, I'll be back on the road....burn'n up miles an' miles. Still a possibility of catch'n up a 14 pounds bass fish.
So I leave you today, a Sunday, to ponder the decisions I make....right or wrong.

Hey whatever decisions you make are yours and you will be doing whatever you like. Enjoy every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to enjoy every minute when you have issues that ruin your day.
DeleteThere are no "rules" just choices & consequences ! lol!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to moving this house on wheels north (next month). I have not been to a casino to try my luck with a $20 bill since last year! I heard there was a nice casino & RV park just across the border in OK. I heard they have a $5 breakfast buffet if you have a players card..
Cheap thrills!
Let me take a minute here Rob to tell bout the time.....me an' first mate Dee Dee headed north on hwy 395 in California. We was go'n to a casino in Bishop I'm think'n it was. We change clothes an' all that stuff, count out $100 an' head inside. Eat us up a nice prime rib dinner for $16 an' hit the slots. Now I ain't much for gambling, but I was do'n pretty good. I was ahead a few dollars. Now Dee Dee come back to me a couple times for more money....$50 both times. Hours pass by an' we go out to "Alice" an' sleep. Get up an' go back in for a few more hours. Give Dee Dee another $50. When we finally head back south to our camp'n site, I checks my pockets. I got $87 dollars an' some change. Cheap thrills indeed.
DeleteThe sun comes up every day, whether or not one sees it. Like you, I don't comment much and I keep a daily journal and a blog for myself. Not being able to talk in a voice that people understand, I tend to do more writing, with a computer, I can't read my writing if I use a pen, although I believe I can talk and it sounds decent when I do, I can't understand myself if I record my speech.
ReplyDeleteNot complaining here, just verbalizing the way I can and know there are a lot of people in worse situations/positions then myself. I admire you for your ability to travel alone, I can't or choose not to although I have in the past, drove coast to coast twice by myself, once in a car which had been a dream that I fulfilled after my divorce, left Palo Alto CA after work on Friday night and arrived in Wallingford CT Monday forenoon, didn't do much sight seeing that time.
Whatever you decide about travel, you're the one with the most information needed to make that decision and you will make the best one.
Enjoy it, little as it may seem, while you can.
Mickey
Mickey, I'm at a complete loss at what to say. I do know one thing though, I would be proud to sit down with you an' just sip up a cup. No talk necessary.
DeleteHmmmmm.....you got a blog? Where the hell is it?
Hey there, Mr. BB. I got a blog too but nobody reads it (cludin' you?) now, for thinkin' I'm a grouchy b-t-h or else I got nothin' interestin' to say. I don't know. Nevertheless, lack of readers has grabbed me by the mind and now I'm fearin' to say what I got to say. eh? Comments do gimme enthusyasm feelins moslee, ya no; happy feelins. Sunshiny wedder do that too. Ise ponderin' postin agin about somefin fur just the need to chatter and also maybe some body'll quit thinkin' ise dead. Ya no? Much of my blog is for recordin for me alone what's happened in life. Gettin' terrible memory loss iz bad, for me and birds; birds spechilly! What's if birds forgettin' how to come back here to me one springin sunny day? I be mos' sadder than I iz now.

I say get the back checked out if you have insurance,It doesn't always mean surgery these days..they have options never dreamed about a few years ago.A lot of what they call minimally invasive stuff and shots and stuff. At least you would know if you really need to hurt all the time;could be life changing for you,Getting older shouldn't take away your options..My niece went to Back Institute and it changed her life.You can always choose no treatment once you know what it would be!
ReplyDeleteI been put'n off have'n my back checker for many years. I'm a skeerdy cat ya know. But in the last few months it has got much worse....constant pains.
DeleteAs far as needles, I had me a insane lady doctor of some kind in the VA hospital, she start stick'n these needles in my leg. She stick 'em in there bout four inches I'm think'n. I put a stop to that real quick like. I'm skeered to death of needles.
Hey BB I agree with Vadam as they sure do have many ways now to treat back pain and injury's. I know my self I have two disc that are slippy or sidelining over and pinching the nerves. But my Va up here sent me to a back surgeon and gave me an injection in that area of my back and I was good to go for almost 6 months. Now starting to feel more and more pain and will get other one in a few weeks and will be go to go again. Hope you look into it and don't worry about the needle you will be in a little dream land as you lay on you stomach and stare at the young nurses....
DeleteHurry up and catch that 14 pound bass and take a picture of it. I want you to catch it and I want to see it. Fishing is the best way of getting things off your mind. When that 14 pounder almost knocks the rod out of your hand, you will forget your pain and every thing else.
ReplyDeleteWhoa wait there Dizzy...read what I said. I got other things to take care of before I can go catch ANY fish at all. How long it takes...depends.
Delete"There ain't no rules that say a RV'er has got to be on the road all the time, every day of the year."
ReplyDeleteSo true...
To some MsB, that's not a true statement. Some people will say "what the hell are you do'n not go'n no where when ya got a motorhome"?
DeleteWe are just starting our 14th year as full-timers, but have "only" 150,000 miles on our rig... so you know we aren't keeping that pavement hot. Everyone has their own pace, their own likes... and their own dreams. We've had medical issues that kept us in places for 3 months or more.... sometimes places we'd rather not be... but... figuring out what does make us happy and then figuring out how to achieve it seems to work for us... maybe for you, too.
ReplyDeleteWith 150,000 miles on your rig, you have me beat by bout 25 to 30,000. I used to average right at 6,000 a year between Texas, Georgia, Missouri an' California. That was my pace an' I thought it was good.
DeleteLast two years, I'm down to bout 3,000....what sucks.
Oh wait, it's more like 50 to 60,000 miles difference. My bad!!!
DeleteLove the Texas pictures at the top of your blog, haven't written you in a long time, but read and enjoy the things you share with us. You haven't lost your touch, deep down inside you are pretty much the same. Time and age take a toll on all of us eventually, you have had your share of adventures, you still have some good ones awaiting you. We all experience rough patches along with setbacks at times. These will pass, they always do, the sun comes out, the whole world looks better. So put a smile on your face, will make everyone wonder what is going on, and in process make you feel better. Wayne
ReplyDeleteWell, I feel I HAVE lost my touch. Much of my memory of the past has gone....poooof, just like that. I no longer find the humor in daily activities as I did not long ago.
DeleteI do hope you are right that I still have adventures awaiting me.
Remember a few years back when I told everbody I don't show expression. "What the hell you smiling about"? "Shut your mouth". Stuff like that at a young age I learned to not show emotions. Guys at work used to tell me to smile. I says to them...."I am smile'n"....it just don't show.
The best process to make me feel better is comments like yours.
I understand about having to take care of issues before you can get to doing what you'd really like to do. It takes patience, and you can hate being patient or just accept it and go with the flow. I have spent most of my life being impatient but I'm finally getting control of how I react. You'll do fine - at least you are taking action, with the dental work. When that is done you can work on the next issue, and I bet we're both back on the road about the same time! All the best, BB.
ReplyDeleteGypsy, I ain't gonna be wait'n to get a bunch of stuff done before I hit the road again. Motorhome issues are bout done....had some good luck today. Tell ya bout it tomorrow. With the need for new scenery, I ain't gonna worry bout a few pains...just new scenery. Of course the teeth pull'n is tomorrow....one down an' a hunnert to go.
Deletefive bass and a few whites caught this evening by others at fishing bridge 277
DeleteCall of the open road and new adventures can certainly make a body restless! The main thing is to work at your own schedule and time table...to heck with everyone else's!
