Trip on hold

Do I dare mention what a "terrible night" I had? I am very close to throw'n my hands in the air an' say'n "eff it".

Today is "Billy Bob beef stew soup" day. Well maybe. Ya see, I been think'n bout a big ol' pot of nutritious, put some meat on bones, soup for bout a month now. But it's been too blamed hot to even boil a cup of water. With a new a/c crank'n out super cold air, I can boil anything now, an' still be comfortable.

See how easy plans can change? It was just a couple days ago I was talk'n bout I could be out of here by today. And that was my plan. But....all that stuff is still lay'n out there in the yard. Then there's "that jeep". Ya see, it's like this. Remember I tole you the a/c is die'n a slow death in "that jeep"? I ordered an' picked up the parts....twice. Joseph says to me...."Uncle Bill, let's take a look....fix it". While look'n, I find a small "cool juice" leak. None the parts store have the gasket to fix the leak, nor can they order it. I breaks out my gauges, adapters an' a can of "cool juice".....fill 'er up. Replac'n new parts an' that leak can wait. It's almost winter ya know, don't need no stink'n a/c in winter.

Made that trip to Port Aransas and Walmart in Aransas Pass yesterday. I was surprised when I pull up to the ferry land'n that there was few cars waiting to cross. In 15 minutes I was sit'n in front of the liquor store. That where I get my smokes ya know. Weren't no time flat, I was pick'n up my mail down the road a piece. Made a quick loop through town an' back in the ferry line. Did Walmart in Aransas Pass in record time, bout 2 hours an' head back to "da house" in Sinton. Was a good day for shop'n. Now I got to put all this crap away. Be'n a "old folk" sucks.

That's it, done, kapoot.....ain't got no more to say......laters.

  1. Guess I missed it somewhere when you said why you have to go back there to see a Doc, and can't see one where you are now. Heck, any Doc can give you new prescriptions, and a good going over. Well, not any, but you know what I mean. Has to be a heart Doc somewhere around, without that long drive.

    1. I suppose if'n I was to look around, I could find a doc in Corpus Christi, but then I wouldn't have a excuse to go visit the desert and mountains. I look forward to my Deming trips. Love the desert ya know.

      Of course, Deming is where my old buddy "pesky neighbor" Wayne lives...but you already know that.

  2. I vote for the stew. Sounded good the last time you made it and it would be good again. Save me a bit or two.
