'69'

Officially I won't be an old man for another year, but let me tell ya bout "feeling" old......

Holy crap, is my thermometer broke or what? It's a freak'n 52 degs outside and I'm cold inside.  And it's not even winter time yet. "Turn the heater on Billy Bob".

HEY!!!! There's cows in my yard. Well, not really in my yard, but right over there in the field. Two great big 'ol hamburger look'n cows. Did you know that my great gramps used to have cattle ranches in Deming? Something like 30,000 acres and special breed cows. Pancho Villa one time got caught stealing one of Gramps cows, but Gramps took to shoot'n at them. Gramps was a well knowed and respected cattleman and ain't no body mess with his cows.

Golf!!! Any body wanna hear about golf? Well after my golf clubs got all warped up and wouldn't hit a ball straight, I went over to Wayne's house and stole me some his golf balls and swak them across the fence in that field where them cow are at. Some call that practice. Then yesterday we went to the golf ball swak'n country club and play a round. I think I'll leave practice to the doctors.

Today is old Billy Bob's birthday and pesky neighbor Wayne is taking me to the Las Cruces Country Club for a round. On his birthday a couple week ago, I took him to Silver City for a round....OFM Barney can attest to that. If we don't get back home to "da house" by 4:30, someone call AAA to come look'n for us. We tak'n "that jeep".


Ok....that's it....gotta get all dress up and go to town.

  2. Happy Birthday BB. Hope you have a good one.

    You are only as old as you feel. Sometimes that makes me a hundred or so. 69 is young, now you can't start complining until you hit 89.

  4. PS, I forgot ( some thoughts for BB's Birthday)

    You know you're getting older when...
    it takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

    Forget about the past, you can't change it.
    Forget about the future, you can't predict it.
    Forget about the present, I didn't get you one.
