Have ya ever been to Atlanta? I used to live there many years ago ya know. Instead of get'n a job with the city sanitation department, I went into business for myself. Government contract work for the VA an' FHA housing. The government would kick the property owners out to the street. My company would refurbish, renovate and repair....whole house painting, fist holes in the walls, gun shots in the ceilings, removal of junk cars in the yards, gouges in hardwood floors from dragging whole V-8 motors across them, blood stains......stuff like that. You know what I'm talk'n bout.....homes destroyed.
I don't want to talk bout that stuff. Let's talk bout Walmart. Now I been in many Walmarts around the country and most have a set distribution of product on the shelves. But not this one. My god, I was all over that store look'n for stuff. I spent my usual 2 hours push'n a cart up an' down aisles, fill'n it up with stuff an' more stuff. "You don't need that Billy Bob". Yes I do. If'n I was to build a remote control helicopter, I need it. I buy stuff like that ya know......some day I may need it.
Anyhows, I had almost fill my shop'n list. My right foot begins to hurt....walk'n with a limp now. Gotta find a place to sit down. No, let's just leave. I don't need no frozen TV dinners anyhows.
That's it, that's what I did yesterday. Oh wait. Did I tell ya that Sadie Mae needs a warsh job an' a haircut? I stop at the pet groom'n place up the street. "You gonna charge me HOW much"? My god....$55. Nobody pays $55 for a bath an' a haircut. Anyhows, if'n I had made a appointment, Sadie Mae would be a new dog in two weeks. Two weeks??? There weren't nobody (customers) in the store, no cars in the park'n lot, people was stand'n round do'n nuttin....two weeks for a appointment?
Do I dare talk'n bout "fix'n stuff" on "Sally da house". I think not. Just gonna sit back an' wait for my wonderful son Robert to show up. He's still work'n in Florida ya know. But he will be home this Saturday evening. Sunday we will visit family style.....big ol' dinner an' lay back flap'n jaws. Come Monday.....Ha, we might go play a round of golf ball swak'n.
Ok, I got two things need done immediately....fill the fresh water tank so's I can do up some dirty dishes.
Take this pot of Billy Bob beef stew soup to the woods along with some stale bread, oatmeal, green grilled chicken, half a pancake, baked taters....stuff like that. Critters eat that kind of stuff ya know. I need the pot to brew me up a big help'n of Billy Bob chicken noodle vegetable soup. Dang I wished I had me a loaf of french bread to go with that soup.

A little bit later update.....
Ok, I got them two chores behind me....now what I gonna do? "Dishes Billy Bob, do the dishes". "Oh, an' you could put the awning out if'n it ain't too much work for ya".
I was [this] close to installing the circuit board while I was outside in the blister'n swelter'n heat (91 degs). But, Robert is a electrician an' he would be highly pissed if I was too take electrical work away from him. Maybe I'll just sit back in my easy chair, sip up a cup an' just think bout it.

Recipes?
ReplyDeleteI don't cook by recipe. I cook by taste an' what ever I'm hungry for. Throws it all in one pot an' I got me some Billy Bob soup.
DeleteI am by no means a Walmart expert, but one of my gripes about all of them I've ever been in is that I can't find anything I'm looking for. Like all other stores, they get a bug to start remodeling and pretty soon you can't figure out where you need to look. I realize that every-week Walmart-ers probably don't have the same experience.
ReplyDeleteAt least you are up and about, which is good for you.
Ha ha Gypsy.....I've found that most Walmarts have a set layout for product. But then, once in a while, I find a manager that goes against the set rules....and places dog food in the ladies undergarment dept. I looked for hours for dog food.
DeleteI been somewhat up an' about since I been here in Ga. Just don't last very long....gotta sit down ya know. Like right now.....I have dishes soak'n....sit'n down tak'n a break.
daddy, don't take my work away. that's my job. lol... you're right, I'll be home Saturday some time late. But I'll see ya Sunday after church, around 11 or so. I was looking at the weather only 30% chance of rain. huummm. , Tee Time, or we can wait til Monday. Did you have fun at Wal-Mart? If you want to go to a good Wal-Mart, go to Bremen. So , we gonna fix the couch? I have some 4'' foam rubber at home, do I need to bring? Can't wait to see ya Sunday. I'll bring my golf bats with me just in case. Okay love you, later
ReplyDeleteThat stuff in the pot looks too good to toss. Add an onion and it will be good to go.
ReplyDeleteIt may have looked too good to toss in the woods, but boy howdy did it have a smell.

Yes Louie, you do exist and I read every one of your comments.....read above, you say soooo much.

DeleteSounds like it's time to give the grandkids a tub and a water hose for cleaning up sweet Sadie..
ReplyDeleteActually, the grankids have been toooo busy to come visit "papaw". School just finished for the summer.....busy kids.
DeleteHi Billy..speakin' of fixin' couches..you were my inspiration !! We rebuilt ours about 1 1/2 yrs ago..I really saved money then..now I gotta do it again! Some savings, ehh?? I found a nice single memory foam mattresses online and had it shipped to the store at Wally World. Took the seat off it, put some 1/4" luan on the frame, bought me some hog rings and pliers and cut the foam to fit and Yahoo...nice. Took a whole 2 hours and now it's nice again. This time it'll hopefully last longer. I gained 2" in thickness and since I spend a lot of time sittin' & sleepin' on that couch I'm sure it'll get tested a lot.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you gonna have fun when Robert gets there fixin, food, and fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy every one of your moments, Billy Bob.....well, except those pain ones. Have lots of laughter. I'm talkin 'bout family and fun and food and golf and the career of Mechanical Bossman and fishin'. Send me one of your boys; my alternator is shot. I'll pay him with Lilies. Ha. Just invested for a new battery. Ifn it ain't one thing, its a dozen. Truth!
ReplyDeleteHeck, send me two of those boys; one can help me in the gardens. Ah, ha ha, eh?
