Today is Monday Billy Bob....

Boy howdy, how do I get my days mixed up. I try my hardest to start each day on the right day, but somehows I lose a day in the process. Buy actually, it doesn't matter what day it is. I don't have a job, no special time to get up, no appointments, no bills to pay, no place to go.....my God, what to do with all this free time on my hands. Then I got to think'n....if'n I had taken that long drive to the lumber yard yesterday, it would have been closed and half my day would have been completely wasted. All 'cause I didn't know what day it was. Sheesh, life is hard on us old folks.

Well shoot....I want you look see outside. Clouds as far as the eye can see. Now this ain't right. I come all this distance to see sunshine every day, be nice and warm and sit on da porch sip'n a cup. Must be ol' winter time set'n in. Speak'n of winter....looks like we gonna get some at the slabs. Ain't gonna be no snow, if that what ya think'n, but it gonna get a mite chilly in the next few days. Something like lower 40's...at night and mid 60's day time. Brrrrrrr..... Gonna have to break out some winter clothes and bundle up.

I were look'n at that solar oven yesterday and got me one them wild hairs. "Billy Bob, since ya ain't got nuttin to do and ya lose track of what day it is, let's break out the table saw and engine hoist and rebuild that solar oven again". Yeah, I can do that. Built me a drawing and made me a list. Hmmmmm.....should I or shouldn't I???

Had us another outstand'n campfire last night...everyone sit'n round sip'n drinks, tell'n lies and boast'n bout life in general. Mostly lies. And here sit's old Billy Bob in the corner with nuttin to say. Kinda remind me the fish'n stories we used to tell....da big'un got away.

Boy howdy, I done run out of water. Ain't no biggie if'n ya knows where the water faucets are in town. Went an got me 14 gallon, come back to "da house" an put it in the tank. Then off to Brawley to pick up my drugs from Walmart, a few dollars pocket change and find a lumber yard to buy my parts for a brand spank'n new solar oven. Holy cows, did you see the price on that sheet of FRP?? $39.95....forget that crap. Then I got to think'n....when the sun is shin'n this old solar oven work just fine...now that the "heat leaks" are fixed. Haven't had a day of sunshine since I fixed the leaks, so don't know how hot it gonna get now. Today was a NO sunshine day all day long. Then....I picked up 14 more gallon water on the way home. Then I had'a charge my batteries...forgot to turn stuff off....12 amp hours every hour I were gone. Think Billy Bob.

I don't know how many time I say this, but I ain't put'n no stink'n tin foil on my solar oven....sheesh!!! It called "emergency solar blanket" from Walmart. Sheesh!!!! How many time I have to say"SHEESH"????

  3. Now BB you had me all feeling sorry for you because you forgot what day Sunday was. You need to go by my rule on days of the week, Every day is Saturday except Sunday and you only need a watch to tell you if it's getting daylight or dark.

    I was beliving all that stuff until I got to the part about you setting around a campfire with nutting to say.

    Remember I'm the one what told you to put some tin foil on that oven.

  4. Ya know BB, after all these attempts to get that "solar" oven to bake something, maybe it's time to use it for bonfire fuel and start all over with a clean drawing board. I found out back in my desert dirt biking days out round Barstow, that some times after several trys to get up the hill ya gotta go back to the bottom and start over.
    Ain't even trying to say you hain't done a good job building this one, but even the best sometmes gotta add to the fire.
