Yo Billy Bob, what ya doing up at 3:30am? "3:30?, Oh, I thought it was 6:30" Have ya ever woke up and couldn't go back to sleep? Laid your head back down on that soft feather pillow and looked off into total darkness while the dogs are snor'n right next to ya?
Went to the car chiropractor yesterday morning for an alignment, but the doctor said "jeep" needed to go to the hospital to get balls replaced. I'm supposing he meant ball joints. What else could go wrong with this "brand new" 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sheesh, I'm gonna have all my life savings tied up in a piece of junk. By the time I get everything fixed the way "I" want it, it will be a $5,000 car/truck/rock climber. What was the guy thinking what put all this crap on a perfectly good Jeep? But I do have some good news.....the doctor wants to trade me the lift kit and long bar suspension for the stock set up he has on his jeep. But HIS Jeep is one them "cheap" ones.
Old pesky neighbor Wayne came over last night, for the 15th time, say'n we was gonna play golf this morning. I says, "are you nuts?" and he says, "no". So, it's off to the golf course again this morning....tee time 7:30. You would think he would be get'n tired of my beating his arse all the time. Well, maybe not all the time!!!!
OK....will have more adventures to write later.......................................
**************************************************************************
Hee Hee Hee....beat old pesky neighbor .....BAD...BAD...BAD
Then I came home to my two rowdy jump'n dogs, Lug Nut and Sadie Mae. "Oh look, it's daddy" These dogs are nuts.
Made me up a big ol' ham and mater sandwich....mater were froze....does this mean my fridge is work'n? Bout 30 minutes later my eye balls was say'n, "we gotta go lay down" Well that didn't work...dogs decided it was play time, what disturbed a perfect nap. Got 15 minutes.
Been reading the health plan news and I don't think us old folks are gonna be too happy if it passes. Sure hope 2010 and 1012 will be different. WAY different.
Sauerkraut, taters and pork ribs for dinner tonight. Took my alka seltzers pre dinner...just in case. Remember what happened the last time??? I do.

second place
Whoa, it's late....past my bed time. Been a really looooooong day. But I got's to make it short.
My golf clubs did a good job today. Came in second place in the "old farts" tournament. Ended up with a total of 134 after two rounds. That's ten under par with my handicap. Just like the pros.
Appointment in the morning to get Jeep alignment. Wanders all over the road. Hope this will take care of this and allow me to rubber neck going down the road.
Took me a nap this afternoon that was longer than the law allows. Would you believe two hours????
See ya tomorrow!!!!

where my golf ball???
Up way to early this morning. I mean the ol' sunshine was still asleep. After my first cup'o, sunshine done waked up, peep'n over that mountain over there. Beautiful sunrise, but where the hell was my camera?
Got to the golf course an hour early. Paid my entry fee and smak'ed a few balls on the practice range. Putt'd a few on the putting practice green. I was ready. Gonna hit that ball so far it gonna take a week to find it. I still have 6 days to find my first drive.....it were gone...pooof...lost. I settled down after that and started playing in the right fareway.....barely. Had a terrible front nine but picked up the pace on the back nine for two under handicap. Not a winning score, but tomorrow I will do better.
By the time I got back to the motor home, I was starved. Brewed me up a big ol' sandwich what put my lights out for almost two hours. Love my naps. Later, my other old neighbor brung me over a piece and a half of homemade banana cream pie. Lug Nut come "this" close to get'n it while I wasn't look'n. After a left over chicken and corn dinner, the pie will be lunch tomorrow afternoon.
Spent an hour on the porch this evening. Nice and cool, quiet and very relaxing. Now I got's to go to bed and dream sweet dreams....swak'n golf balls.

Tournament Practice
Up bright and early just in time to see dark turn to light. It's amazing that it happens every morning about the same time. Too many clouds this morning for a fantastic sunrise. But I know it was there.
Went off to the golf course by 7:30 for a last practice round before the tournament tomorrow morning. If I swak that gold ball tomorrow like I did this morning, I ain't gonna win noth'n. It were terrible, but I was still under handicap. But three under, never won anything.
Took the brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee w/5.2 V8 to the tire and alignment place to get it checked out.....dern thing wanders all over the road and I don't like that. Of course, they had to make me an appointment for Monday morning.....people standing around doing noth'n and they want an appointment. Sheesh!!! Makes me so mad I could squeeze a grape. Now, there goes all my plans for Monday morning.
My poor mater plant was due to have mater puppies by now, but still noth'n. Pretty little yeller flowers, but no little green maters. I'm gonna make one more attempt to save it's life....gonna water it two times a day and see what happens.
Off to Walmart and Kmart to buy something. Don't know what, but all this money I saved this week is burn'n a hole in my pocket.

Took a pic of one of my visitors. Scotts Oriole.
Sticks his beak in them little holes just like the hummers do.
And this is one my beautiful blooms on a "bird of paradise"...or what ever it's called.

Boring day
Nothing to write about today. Although it was a beautiful, overcast, windy, and moderately hot day.
My pesky neighbor Wayne brung me a skill saw today 'cause mine bit the dust. He also brung me a piece of plexiglass for my solar oven. Hmmmm....do ya think plexiglass will melt when the oven gets up to tamp.??? I know what I can do, if it melts, I'll replace it with real glass. But at least I have a project to start on.
Didn't do a thing today after a great round of golf other than change the license plates on the jeep. Didn't think I would ever sport a set of New Mexico plates, but the price was right. And no annual safety inspection like home State Texas.

Oh Oh....
Oh Oh, I forgot to make a post last night. Well, it wasn't really that I forgot, I just forgot what time it was and by that time, my brain was in sleep mode, not remember "what did I do today" mode.
This morning I woke up to "ole one eye", still in sleep mode, stumbled to the coffee pot, poured water on the floor what was intended to go in the pot......not a good start of a new day.
Want to thank those that have left comments. I guess comments are the reason we have blogs in the first place. My blog has replaced my travel logs. I used to write in them little $.10 notebooks on sale from Walmart every school season. Boy Howdy, do I have some stories in them notebooks.
Went online look'n at new cameras. Found what I want, but everyone is "out of stock". Then I got to think'n, "what ya gonna do with three digital cameras"??? So, if ya think like I do, I saved $500 yesterday. So, if I saved $500, what am I gonna spend it on????
More as my day unfolds.............
Well, it unfolded. Would you believe it took two hours to do dishes??? I have a method for doing dishes. Ya fill up a pan full of hot water and Dawn and soak what the pan will hold for 15 minutes. In that 15 minutes, ya rest. Then ya wash and rinse them and put in some more to soak. Rest #2. Then ya wash them and fill'er up again. Yeah, that's right, rest again. Three well planned rests should be no less than 45 minutes. Actual dish time should be no more than 15 minutes. Unless you happen to take a little cat nap in between.
Pulled the tow bar base plate off the little red Bronco II in hopes of modifying it to fit the Jeep. Hmmmm, for what it would cost to modify, I can build a new one...well maybe let the welding/fabrication shop do it for me. A new base plate costs right at $400 with shipping. If ya be think'n like I'm think'n, I could save another $200 to add to that $500 I saved yesterday. More on the base plate at a later date.
Signed up for a two day golf tournament this weekend. Match play, 36 holes...just like the pro's. If I keep swak'n golf balls like I been doing, I have a good chance to win. Been hitting under my handicap for the last two weeks.
Finished up the left over cat fish and macaroni for dinner. Weren't no better than last night. Was gonna save a piece for lunch tomorrow, but I ate it all gone. Now what I gonna do???
So sorry bout that ole mater plant. Just hanging out there in the topsy turvy thingy doing nuttin. I water it, feed it and it has plenty sunshine, but it do'n nuttin.

Found that rattle
Slept in this morning till 6:30....lol, right. Sleeping in would be more like 8am. Usually roll out at 7am when Lug Nut has his face in mine say'n..."ya gonna sleep all day"??? Dogs say the darnedest things.
Spent half the morning and half the afternoon waiting for my number to come up at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles. When it finally did, I was starving, belly rumbl'n, had to pee and nerves were on edge with the scream'n kids. Why do people take kids to the DMV??? Jeep is now titled and registered in the State of New Mexico.
After a big lunch and a little well deserved nap, I crawled up under the Jeep to locate a God awful rattling sound. Found it!!!! Now how I gonna fix it. (Note: Previous owners installed a lift kit and some long stabilizing bars front and rear that they apparently didn't maintain (grease). The adjustment ends seem to be worn out.) Now...here's my plan. Take all that junk off and go back to factory specs. Just hope it doesn't cost an arm and leg as it did to whom ever installed this crap.
My pesky neighbor, Wayne came over for the 6th time today with a big ole catfish fillet....YUM YUM YUM. Then he started talking bout what HE was gonna have for dinner.....hamburger with tomato and onions. Fish went in the frige for tomorrow and my hamburger is cook'n as we speak.
Looked out my winder and seen some of "mamma" nature in the works. Sun shin'n on them mountains over there was just too much to resist. Ya got's to be quick when these kinds of scenes come up.
Ok....hamburger is gone!!! Very good choice Billy Bob.
