Man Toys

Well shoot, yesterday was a bust....in a way.

After I did some think'n, me an' Sadie Mae loaded up in "that jeep" an' headed for Walmart. Only bout a 30 minute trip if'n ya drive bout a hunnert mile a hour (60). Holy Crap, that one big ass Walmart store I mean to tell ya.

I headed off to the pharmacy an' drop off my prescription bottles for a refill. The nice lady says to come back in 2 hours. What the hell am I gonna do for two hours? So's I start walk'n the asiles....just look'n ya know. I loads up a bunch of stuff in the cart. Then I get to think'n...."what I need that for"? So's I takes the stuff back out of the cart. Two hours is up. I heads back to the pharmacy an' pick up my drugs, pay for a couple items I couldn't do without an' go back to "that jeep" where Sadie Mae is patiently waiting. She's such a good dog.

I stops at Dairy Queen on the way home. Holy Crap, that's a big ass Dairy Queen. Ya see, they are remodeling....mak'n it bigger....much bigger. I ain't never see a Dairy Queen that big before. Ate me up some them steak fingers an' fries. Had enough left over to treat the dog Sadie Mae. Then I sit in "that jeep" an' watch this feller up on a scaffold do'n masonry work on the front of the store. "Where the hell is the camera Billy Bob"?
I sure do like to sit back an' watch somebody what know what he's do'n. I betcha a dollar I could do that too.

Back at "da house", I pull that Mississippi river boat off'n the shelf. Finished install'n that "battery in a boiler" what I were work'n on the other day. "Good job Billy Bob, nobody gonna ever know". Then I reconstructed the railings what I removed for access to the "battery in a boiler". Yes....I made them easily removable. Drive motor an' drive belt has been reinstalled. This sucker is almost ready for a test run.

Don't ya just love "man toys"???

Remember that airplane I carry around with me everwheres I go? Well, that may be my next project. I ain't never fly that airplane 'cause I don't like to mess with "fuel" no more. It stinks, it's loud, an' ya gotta clean it all off'n your plane every time you fly it. In other words, Billy Bob don't do windows no more. "Convert  it to electric Billy Bob". Well shoot, I can do that. Stay tuned.

Boy howdy....I'm think'n I could go play me a round of golf. The weather is perfect an' there ain't much wind.

  1. I think "man toys" get more interesting as we get older! Maybe it's just me.

    I do believe that the electric plane might be fun to fly...and if nothing else, it would be fun to watch a big crash! That's what would happen if I tried it!

    1. Jesus Jim, are you suggest'n that I crash my airplane? I knows how to crash them, but it sure ain't no fun do'n it. When ya gots almost a thousand dollar invested in a remote control airplane, ya don't go out an' crash it just for fun.
