I'm gonna make me a feeble attempt to write a blog post this morn'n. Ya see, the old Billy Bob ain't feel'n at all like "the old" Billy Bob. This will pass....but probly not today.
Let me start right off with the weather. One place up in Minnesota got 3 feets of snow. What's that got to do with the weather here in Georgia? Well, let me tell ya, it was cold like a sum-a-gun at "da house" last night. An' cold like that does things to me. I begin to ache all over. I get terrible headaches. My feet feel like ice sickles....they hurt. My brain goes all haywire. I don't give a damn bout nuttin.
24 degs last night. Waked up to 48 degs in "da house". Yes I have a freak'n heater. But I turn it down at night. Ya see, when ya got 20 pound of blankets on top ya, ya don't need no heat to sleep at night.
Speak'n of sleep'n....it was right at 3:30 am. Something I eat for supper come up my throat an' out my right nostril. My god, it burn like hell. Acid reflux I bet ya a dollar. "Yo mama" had send down a plate of home cooked something or another an' a great big ol' piece of home brewed cake she baked....covered with a ton of chocolate icing. Chocolate icing will do it every time. I take a acid blocker every night, but last night I should of took me 4. Alka seltzer this morn'n.....before coffee.
Boy howdy, I been kick'n myself in the buttocks. There ain't no way in hell I should still be cooped up in "da house" here in Georgia. I should be in south Texas where it's nice an' warm. Visit'n with the OFM Barney, swak'n up golf'n balls an' eat'n a numeral tres (#3) at the fine Mexican food eat'n establishment in Sinton, Texas. Dang I can hardly wait.
My route back to Texas, when ever that will be, will be via I-10 where the temps will be somewhat warmer than I-20 to the north. My only dread is the hunnert miles to go through Houston. Why the hell did they build Houston right in the middle of I-10??? You say there's a bypass around Houston? Ha, I've missed that bypass every time an' had to go through downtown. What is much shorter. I put it in that 3rd lane over, "put 'er on a hunnert an' let 'er eat". There are also options out of Houston. Galveston is just down the road a piece. SR 35 is a coast line scenic drive. Or I can just shoot down Hwy 59 an' be home lickity split. Where ever home is. Like I always say, all roads lead to the same place.
Did ya know I been build'n a 33 inches long remote control tug boat? I worked on that sucker for a good 4 or 6 hours yesterday an' you cain't hardly see nuttin I did. File'n, sand'n, git'n stuff straight, stick'n fingers together, glue'n stuff to the hull. The hand rails are painted an' installed. Main deck is glued in place. An' that little (removable) deck on the back has been constructed an' completed. Look'n pretty good from my house.
As with any project, after a while I get a bit tired of work'n on it. This happened two days ago. I had to "beat my ass" yesterday just to pick up some hobby tools an' jump in there. I probly aughter "beat my ass" an' get all this mess clean up before I start on the tug boat today.
Man boy howdy, am I hav'n a rough time with blog'n. Writ'n down what I did the day before ain't so hard, but when it comes to the most important part, answer'n comments, I fall off the wall. Why is it so freak'n hard for me to answer comments? I know I lose a lot of readers because of it, but right now I'm at a loss as what to say. Didn't Forrest Gump say something to that nature??? Anyhows, don't "beat my ass" just 'cause I failed to answer your comment. You are a important part of my life.
Ok, let's do some hobby clean up.

It is 54 degrees with broken sun this morning in Rockport. My electric heater kept the Castle at my preferred 68 last night. I had chicken fajitas at Jalisco in Rockport a night or two ago. Man o man that was some great eating. Been too busy catching fish to play golf but I plan on fixing that soon.
ReplyDeleteGo on Barney, rub it in. Sure do wished I was down there with ya so I could talk bout temps like that.
DeleteSee ya soon....I hope.

DeleteI think the tug boat is looking pretty good. I watch Animal Cops-Houston on TV and see what those freeways and overpasses/underpasses look like, and I would never in million years drive through Houston! The first trip I made in my 5th wheel was in the winter, and I had to drop down to Dallas running from the ice and snow. I did manage to not go straight through Dallas but went a little south, which was bad enough. I really don't like to drive in Texas.
ReplyDeleteHa, driv'n through Texas. I went to LA one time....more an' onest, an' let me tell ya, I'll take Houston any day of the week.
DeleteI-20 south of Dallas/Ft. Worth is a piece of cake. Don't go downtown to get out of town.
Austin is the 4th worst place in the nation. Just read that not long ago, and i already knew it, well, i thot it was THE worst. lol
DeleteCold in Texas too, but not as cold in Georgia. We have always gone thru Houston the weekend in the morning for years and have not had any problems yet.
ReplyDeleteThat boat looking pretty darn good.
Shoot George, the way I see it, it's cold everwhere. It could be worse ya know!!!!
Deletei read you every day billy b even if i don't make a remark. bet lots of others do too.
ReplyDeleteMy blog today was about you Billy Bob. Hope you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteBilly Bob, I love your blog. I rarely comment, but I am out here and love to see a new blog from you every day. I'm in North Central Texas (around DFW area) and geeeez it is DANG cold. Like in the 20's at night, but the windchill in the teens. What tha heck???!!! Not supposed to be like that in Texas. If it is global warming, I wish it would warm us the heck up.
