Just a little bout how much better I feel since I've been back in Georgia. I'm think'n most my stress was left back in Texas. It's good to have full days without any stress ya know. When I get up in the morn'n, there ain't none that "worry bout this worry bout that". If ya ever had any stress in YOUR life, you got a pretty good idea what I'm talk'n bout. Feels good don't it????
My depression level is also way down. I still don't know what's in store for me for the rest my life, but I have a ton of options. I wake up ever morn'n an' "I give a shit", where not long ago, I didn't give a shit one way or the other.
Bout 5 days ago I was sit'n in my "that chair" (recliner) an' I got to think'n.....I don't like sit'n outside on a hill side (my campsite has a incline on it). I got the idea of a "level" deck up under the awning. Drawed it up an' guesstimated the cost. I can afford that....$180 turn key.
Yesterday, me an' Robert headed off to Home Depot an' pick up some lumber an' screws.....$171 dollar worth. I brag to everbody how good I was at estimating costs. Damn I was close. I do that at Walmart too.
Back at the house, Robert back the truck up, jump out an' he grab holt to a sheet of plywood an' throws it on the ground. "No Robert, stack it right here". Ha, the boy thinks I'm gonna walk 20 feet for a piece of wood. I sit in my camp chair an' I drill me some pilot holes in a 12 foot 2 x 6 for the 3" screws what hold the seven 8 foots 2 x 6 stringers on 2 foots centers.
Now let me tell ya bout how Robert operates. "Let me git that daddy". "Sit down daddy, I'll git that". So, the project I was gonna do all by myself is now a completed 8 x 12 foots level deck. Man boy howdy let me tell ya, I don't have to sit on a hillside no more.
That's my chair next to the door.
Everthing is within half a bubble on the 4 foot level. Good job Robert....with the supervisory help of the old Billy Bob. Damn, that boy won't let me do nuttin.
Today was to be a special day. Son Jesse is hav'n a cookout an' swim party at his house. Granddaughter Wesley graduated high school....that what the party for. Well, when I fall out of bed this morn'n, I ain't in no condition to go nowheres. The party is a 6 to 8 hour affair an' there ain't no way I can handle that. I'm think'n one on one time would be sooo much better with my issues.
Speak'n of issues....the doctor prescribed me some meds to help my feet...numbness an' pains. Well I been tak'n them pills an' holy cows...."you sleep too much Billy Bob". Normally, I sleep 6 or 7 hours. With the pills, I been hit'n 8, 9 an' 10 hours of never wake up one time sleep. But then, with all the company I get ever day, I don't get no naps.
Ok, I think I'll stop right here an' maybe come back tomorrow....if'n I got something to write about that is.

Great job on the deck! You can sit and enjoy the fresh air and have plenty of room for company.
ReplyDeleteYou'll never guess what I call my deck. "da porch".
DeleteI have soooo much company I ain't got time for a nap in the "that chair".
Wow!!! Gorgeous deck! You (and/or Robert) done good !! Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like a great place to spend a long long time, quite content.
You're pretty dadgum fortunate Billy Bob.
hugs atcha,
Jool in N. Texas
Blush blush....thanks for the compliment. I like it too. And yes, I was involved in the construction other than supervision.
DeleteYour second line is too hard to reply to.
Yes, I am very fortunate to have somebody take care of my needs.
Sewer line, water line, electric line and you have El Rancho BB.
ReplyDeleteGot everthing but the sewer. But just up the street (I-20) is a Fly'n J with a dump station.
DeleteWith a setup like that you could really tell some tall tales (bs).
ReplyDeleteWell, let me tell ya bout the other night. We had a campfire an' I start tell'n "tall tales". Listeners started talk'n other stuff. So's I just hung my head in shame an' shut the hell up. .
Deletelooks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob, I think so too. Now let me tell ya bout this deck. It can be taken apart in bout 30 minutes an' stowed in the garage. Everthing is screwed.
DeleteI like you having such nice sitting area. Gives plenty of space for your audience. :)
ReplyDeleteI like nine hour nights. Less than that and I have to take a nap. Or do stupid things because I'm not thinking right.
On the deck, I can squeeze bout a dozen listeners....two to a camp chair.
DeleteAin't no way I could sleep that many hours. But I do take naps.
hi BB. wow ,your a darn lucky man having everything done for you .nice deck Robert . it some how reminds me of the super nice porch you created way back in Demming nm. . how much would that porch cost you no a days ? so any way i am worried that you might accidentally fall off the deck . so may i suggest a 3 foot fence board railing around the deck with a special BB. gate . home depot will cut in half the 6 foot by 1'' by 6'' fence boards for you at no cost for the cutting . this way everybody can use the top of the railing as a table for there beer , smart phones , ashtrays and cigarettes ect.....and nobody can accidentally fall and hurt them self .
ReplyDeleteoh by the way according to my tv news , corpus christi tx had a tornado yesterday and they have all kinds of flooding problems still . it is good that Robert saved you and got you out of there when he did .

DeleteAny fall off the open side of the deck is a up hill fall. How the hell can you get hurt fall'n up hill? That was a joke Louie, not criticiz'n your comment.
DeleteI was think'n bout how much it would cost to build another "da porch". Think'n bout $1500 now days.
I watched the flooding in Corpus Cristi area. Yup, they had serious flooding. I think, but now sure, I-37 was shut down at one point of the flooding.
Hey Billy Bob that's one good lookin deck carpet and all.
ReplyDeleteYou got yourself a great place to hang out , family and all.
ENJOY !
I couldn't say it no better myself George....so I'll just shut the hell up.
DeleteThanks....
bill, yer all decked out! ha ha ain't it nice to have kids you can put to work. on the level, now you don't have to be a billy goat.
ReplyDeletehi BB. i sure liked your deming nm porch , you did such a good job on it , it was real professionally made . it was so practical ,cozy ,especially in the middle of that open desert with no shade for hundreds of miles around . it protected all of us from the extreme hot sun and hail and rains .
ReplyDeletei dreamed for years about buying it from you . if only i could of figured out how i could of towed it down the inter-states legally . how much did you sell it for ? and who did you sell it too ?
In case you happen to come see if I answered your comment Louie....yes "da porch" was exactly as you described it. I sold it to the park owner for $300.
DeleteThe porch was designed to be taken apart in sections and loaded on a trailer....legal 7' 11" width.
Talking bout "da porch", how's ol neighbor Wayne?
