Second update .....Two hours of work rolled into two days

This morn'n I'll be just 'starting' today's blog post. Ya see, if'n I was to take the time to write about everything that's on my mind this morn'n, I would never get any work done. Did I mention....I don't like work?

Before I get into the "work" related stuff, I'll take the time to mention yesterday's golf game with the OFM Barney. For me, it was an excellent game, with a excellent score of...now listen to this...a 83. Do you know how long it's been since I hit a game in the lower 80's? That's right on the edge of professionalism. Ha....yeah I'm brag'n at a score I ain't seen in bout 5 or 6 years or so.

Now to help out Dizzy Dick on his misunderstanding of the game of golf. It don't take much skills to hit a high number of strokes to finish a game. But it does take skills to hit a low number. That's why the lowest score wins. My placement is usually in the high score range.....but only 'cause I hit a ball like a girl an' a rookie amateur.....not very far an' in the woods most the time. Old age ya know.

For the last 4 mornings, I've been get'n out of bed in the 4 to 5 pain range. Ain't all bended over try'n to brew me some life sustaining coffee. Ain't hit'n the aspirin bottle at a early hour. This is nice.

Now that the two last days for get'n all my stuff stowed an' put back together....what should have been done weeks ago, I may add a day an' leave Tuesday instead of Monday. You know I can do that....right? I'm retired, over 70 year old, I can do any dad gum thing I want to. So that decision will be controlled by what I get done today an' tomorrow.  "Well shoot Billy Bob, ya gotta git off yer ass first".

Somebody....ain't gonna mention who....Ok George?, suggested I eat me up some cajun food. Well I love cajun food, but be'n I'm gonna be in northern Louisiana, there won't be any good cajun food up that'a way. Too much influence from the "yankee" cooks up that way. Just like Texas chili an' stuff like that. Yankees put sugar, sour cream, wine...all that other yankee stuff...an' they even put turkey in it. Ya don't put turkey in Texas chili......period. I love all you yankees, but I don't like the way you guys cook down to earth southern food. Dang, I hope I didn't piss no "northerners" off.
Speak'n of grits, I don't like grits neither.
Ok....work time. I'll get back to ya as soon as I can.

********************************************************************************
11:45am.....Dang, I didn't want to be back this early. "Houston, we have a problem".
I cranked the Onan generator. The damn thing shut down after bout 3 minutes with a fault code. Some crap I know nuttin about.
Then I cranked it again. It shut down again, but with a different fault code. "Now what uya gonna do Billy Bob"???
I cranked it again. That was 5 minutes ago. Sounds just like what a Onan generator supposed to sound like. Is it fixed??? How the hell do I know???

But I did do a bunch of little stuff along with the Onan test start. More to do.....laters.
*****************************************************************************
5:45pm.....Oh my god, I've made changes. Instead of driving 200 miles a day, we will be driving 250 miles a day. Tomorrow I will post a link to the new camp'n sites. Ha....one of 'em has a dump station to empty the black water tank. Oh crap, I almost forgot, I got to drain an' fill the fresh water tank.

Oh my god again....I ain't got nuttin to do. I been work'n my buttocks plumb off. Got most everthing done 'cept'n for the final pick up's an' hook ups.

I suppose since I ain't got nuttin left to do, I could play one more round of golf with my golf'n buddy Barney. Probaly Monday would be best for me since this dad gum back an' hip is up to bout a 6 1/2 to a 7 1/4. Damn, I worked too hard.

    1. LOL Barney, I'm think'n bout that. What's the old say'n...." a golf game is more important than any day behind the wheel"? Will see how things work out.

  2. I don't like grits, either. Plus, I don't like Cajun or Texas cooking. This Southern girl likes it mild.

    1. Ha....all Texas cook'n ain't hot. You just ain't never tasted MY Texas cook'n.

    2. I am willing to try it if you promise it won't be spicy hot. However, I do make hot pepper jelly that I temper with cream cheese on a cracker. Seriously, it is so hot it burned my fingertips so badly I thought I had erased my fingerprints.

    1. When I was in the Navy (1961-1966), me an' a couple buddies went out an' indulged in some adult drinks. Come 2am, we decided we was hungry. They served me grits. That was the day I figgered grits was for rais'n hogs on a farm, not for human consumption. But then....I had me a girlfriend one time what loved her grits. I kept her bout a year.

    2. Kept my girl friends for a few years, never ate grits. even married three of them, not all at once though. Third wife is a keeper.

  4. I love grits, and most of the cooking in the KY-TN-NC area of the south. While I sometimes like spicy foods it's just not worth suffering indigestion for any more. Congratulations on your golf game. Are you ready to take on your son, Robert?

    1. Very few Texas cook'n dishes is what you might call "spicy". Now when it comes to Texans cook'n Mexican food....look out baby, that stuff is hot.

      It's not me that needs to be ready for golf with Robert. It's Robert that needs to get ready. Poor boy, I gonna beat him like a step child.

  5. One bad thing about my getting old is that a lot of my taste have changed...and not always for the better! Many things I used to love I just don't care for anymore!

    1. You noticed that too Jim??? Mine began bout 10 or 15 years ago. Now days, watermelon tastes like chicken.

      Delete
    2. LOL...it would certainly be easier to slice a watermelon for you than to cook chicken. I do know that friends who smoke or ever smoked cannot taste much. My tastes and sense of taste have not changed a bit. Even the ones who drank regularly cannot taste much. I figure their taste buds were damaged...lol.

  6. I like lots of flavors in my foods but HOT is not a flavor.

    1. Only reason I use so much salsa is for the flavors it has. I too don't care for "toooo" hot.

      Delete
  7. Eggs, bacon, grits and hot buttered biscuits (southern style) is the best eatin' I can imagine. I love grits, served two different ways. That GMO corn though is pretty harmful, so now grits is out. Monsanto! Cornbread is mostly out; pot of soup beans w/o cornbread is half-pitiful fare.

    I like some hot foods; hot enough to get my head to sweating!

    It appears you are very efficient in preparation, getting everything done and ready to go; and time for another round of friendly competition with Barney. Be safe, Billy Bob.

    2. I think it's pretty darn cool myself.

  9. We don't do no grits, nor hot stuff... guess we are boring northerners, eh?

    Glad the genny is running... maybe you just had air in the lines?

    1. I am a Southerner. And, I don't like grits or hot spices.

      Delete
    2. No Karen, the codes that come up was some technical stuff I don't know nuttin about. I'll crank it up again in the morn'n just to make sure it's Ok.

      I didn't say no such thing bout northerners be'n boring. Some of 'em are pretty cool. Give away home canned beets an' stuff like that. Sit'n round campfires.
