Man, this Georga trip....Grrrrrrr

Ok, some people don't splain what they talk'n bout. Just write one simple line an' that's it. That leaves me to wonder'n an' ask'n questions.

Ok, here's what I'm talk'n bout.....I was read'n blogs. This guy was splain'n bout some new equipment he bought. "I bought a new chainsaw". I sit there wait'n to hear more bout that chainsaw an' why he needed a new chainsaw, what kind an' size it was....but that was it. Nuttin more was said. Then he went on to say...."I planted tomatoes today". Ok, I sit there wait'n to hear bout these maters. You know, how many he planted, what kind they was, where he planted 'em....stuff like that. I got nuttin. This guy needs to make a trip to Walmart an' buy his self a whole shop'n cart full of seasonings an' spices. Ok....that's my rant for the day. Well, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, but dang, write sumpin.

Well the dad gum weather forecasters done change everthing again. Now we ain't gonna get no rain. It's gonna be beautiful. A little bit chilly at night, but what the hell, ya sleep under blankets when it's chilly. But this weather forecast change is just what I was want'n. The golf course will be playable. Ha ha, I sneeked golf in on ya didn't I???

Speak'n of golf....I have to be reminded ya know, me an' OFM Barney may be play'n back to back games this week. Thursday an' Friday. Since this will be my last golf play'n in south Texas an' golf play'n is bout all I can do now days, why not two days in a row? That reminds me of the old squirrel hunter. I ask him if'n he still squirrel hunts. He says..."yep, all the time...I just cain't hit nuttin no more". That's me an' golf.
I'll add no spice as some people don't like my cook'n.

So how am I do'n get'n ready for that excit'n trip to Georgia? I'm think'n I'm do'n pretty good. I plotted out the trip on Google maps.....Hmmmmm, how do ya put that map on the blog???
Hold on, I'm work'n on it......."dang, how ya work this damn thing"? Grrrrrrrr....
Shoot.....I just took a pic of my laptop. This is the best I can do.
That's my Georgia trip with 4 overnight camp'n sites along the way (rest areas) at right bout 200 miles apart. That should be easy enough. Welcome to Georgia.

Just for fun, I'm gonna try this.....Google maps link

What I was gonna do yesterday, I didn't do. That seems to be the norm around here lately...."don't do nuttin". But, if'n I was want'n to, I could pull out today. But I ain't.

I was sit'n here last night. Nuttin was on the TV, so I got to think'n bout this trip. Oh wait....let me first tell ya bout my "think'n time" before I go to bed. I betcha a dollar you could never in a hunnert years guess what I was think'n bout.
Anyhows, while I was think'n bout the trip, I got all nervous an' stuff. I got lots to be nervous bout ya know....the "what if's". Years ago that kind of stuff never bother me. I would jump behind the wheel, squeal the tires an' be on my way. Not a care in the world. Ain't like that no more. Break down. Flat tire. Knock a mailbox down. Go in the ditch. Hit a elk. Shoot, ya never know. Dang, anything can happen. I was sit'n there sweat'n...something is gonna happen. But to ease everbodys minds, I'm gonna do my best that nuttin does happen.

Oh wait a minute.....Robert, I should be there either Friday or Sunday of next week. Will call you from the Georgia Information Center on I-20 at the state line. Shoot, I may even call ya when I pull out of "El Rancho Abraham". Did ya see what I did? I gave myself a extra day there.

    1. Ha ha River....I make the best bowl of chili. In fact I just served up the remains to that "damn goat". Last chicken fried steak was like 8 years ago...it were bigger than the plate.
      But I DO worry bout that other stuff.
      Good to see ya again....missed ya.

  2. I'm glad you have some definite plans and have mapped out your route. You have me wishing I was planning a trip, but can't think about it until I recover. Well, I still sneak in a thought or two once in a while, like I can drive to SD to renew my driver's licence, stopping to camp here and here and here along the way, then take a different route back and stop at different places to camp. I'm even wondering if I can get down to some of those national parks in the southwest that I missed last year. Nah - gotta save that for another year. Well, good luck on the back to back golf games, and good luck in your travels - perfect weather, little or no traffic, good stopover sites, and such.

    1. Only definite plan is to get my butt to Georgia...the easiest way. This ain't like no camp'n trip where ya get all excitis....they probly gonna cut me open an' take stuff out. That skeers me.

      *Nah - gotta save that for another year* I like that when you can think about another year.

    2. I think about you every time I see the TV commercial for Laser spinal surgery. They only make a small incision and you can be up and walking around shortly after. I don't know what your back problem is and maybe laser surgery isn't for you, but I think it would be worth looking into.

    3. Gypsy, I think I did a blog post on the up's an' down's of laser surgery. From all of the research I've done, reading the bad results versus the good, the type of doctors allowed to perform laser.....no, I'm not gonna allow it. I want my doctor, the right one an' the right kind, to be able to see what he is doing through the incision, not a freak'n TV set, an' to be able to touch what he is doing. That is the research I came up with. A longer recovery time, but better results.

  3. I'll be watching. I have this small issue with my back as well. It is talking to be a bit more each year. My Dad had back issues, a couple of major surgeries over many years, and years in a back brace. Finally when he was in his lat 70's(?) a back doctor told him to get out of that brace and he did and was better than ever, until other issues set in unrelated. At any rate, I'm thinking this is something that in a few decades I'll need to look into myself.

    Hi BB
    “Go in the ditch” to me funny you should say that. I know two drivers doing just that. One the right front tire blew out and destroyed his fifth wheel trailer “inside” going over crop rows. Another class C, driver hart problem passed out driving off the road, to the right, destroying the inside of the RV. Take care on your trip and at the georgia state line good idea to allow a releif driver “pilot” “Sally da House” in to a safe landing.

    Take care we also will travel interstate twenty next week to North Carolina from Austin.

  8. I'm glad that you have planed on taking I-20. If you must, or you want to, take an Interstate Highway that is the one I would chose. However, as I said the other day, I agree with Gypsy that the non-Interstate roads are the way to travel. For her, or anyone else, this is the route that I would take with stops at Walmart or a RV Park depending on my mood each night.

    Stinton to Conroe, TX (236 miles)
    Conroe, TX to Alexandria, LA (213 miles)
    Alexandria, LA to Laurel, MS (219 miles)
    Laurel, MS to Selma, AL (163 miles)
    Selma, AL to Yo Mama's RV Resort (183 miles)

    Have a great trip and stay out of the ditch.

  9. Wish we could start a Billy Bob caravan and get you to Georgia. Let's see who do I know who is in Texas? I'm no good to you here in Florida maybe we should start a "keep Billy Bob company as he drives to Georgia Facebook page"
