Some progress to the "fix it" list and visitation

And the big Texas winds hit with a vengeance. Not really, I'm just work'n up to a point.  Three mile a hour ain't no big wind.....but anyhows.....it was a dust storm. Blowed dirt an' sand in my eyes. little bitty girlie tears welled up in my eyes. That's how bad I was hurt'n....but this morn'n, my eyes are as dry as a desert sunrise. I hate dust storms blow stuff in my eyes.

We, me an' Billy, worked on the added tail lights on the "billy jeep". Ya see, when I installed the tow package tail light kit, the bubs ain't bright enough. Cops gonna probly give me a ticket. At the auto parts store, I fount me some LED tail light bubs to replace the regular kind. We spent close to two hours work'n on them things. I'm not satisfied. Not one bit....but you can see them. Did not scratch this chore off the "fix it" list. Note: The LED bubs are red in color installed 5 inches behind the red tail light lens. *think'n here....how I gonna fix that*

Then I got to think'n bout golf ball swak'n. Boy howdy I cain't wait. It's been a while since I played golf on a Georgia golf course. Way different than play'n on one them cow pasture courses down there in Texas. These have grass in the fareways an' there ain't no rocks. But....there are plenty trees.....forests....lakes.....steep hills....ducks an' squirrels, stuff like that. A real challenge. OFM Barney would love it.

"Yo mama" is gonna talk to her doctor what did her back surgery. Not for the same thing I got, but back surgery anyhows. Cutt'n muscles, bleed'n, big ol' needles, knifes an' hammers....stuff like that. She is in no pain. Cleaned up the yard yesterday....like a "man"......dang! 

That circuit board arrived by USPS yesterday. Cain't believe it made it all the ways from Portland, Or. to Ga. in just two days. I took a ton of photos so I don't put a wire in the wrong place....burn it slap up. I'm think'n this will correct a couple little problems I been hav'n.


Three of the grankids visited yesterday. In an' out the door bout a hunnert times. Talk up a storm. "Papaw, what's this"? "Papaw, where do you live"? "What's this for"? "Does Sadie Mae bite"? "Do ya have any candy Papaw"? Man boy howdy....I was wored me slap out.
"Pictures Billy Bob, where are the pictures"?

Gonna cut this short again today. My mind is off in "LaLa" land. "Come on aspirin, do yer thing". Anybody got some anti-depressants?

  3. There is a lot of empty fuse slots in that board. Maybe you ought to get a bunch more electronic gadgets so you can fill all those slots. Don't hook it up backwards, you hear?

  4. I just about have to agree with Anonymous, but not with children running in and out. Personally I can't even stand the smell of the stuff, but if I was in really bad chronic pain or an incurable illness, I'd just hunker down and learn to love the awful stuff!

    Does "yo Mama's" experience with back surgery give you hope? I think it should.

    1. I for one am totally against any known drug, such as weed, as a medicinal cure. Ha....I never did like the stuff in the first place.

      Yes to "Yo Mama" with no pains. But, then I have two sons that DO have pains, but not constant pain like I do.

  5. I am with you--no weed. I will barely take the legal pills doctors give me for mundane things. I don't have COPD, just a million things that will induce asthmatic symptoms. Inhalers are my life now and cannot wait to get rid of those!

    If this doctor can fix your back, I need the name, seriously!

    Is there a possibility that doctors can fix your sons before their pain gets as bad as yours. If I had had surgery years ago, my condition would not be so serious.

  6. Speakin' of fixin' things...Did ya follow my blog "Rolling Earthquake" regarding the genny replacement? New to me genny is awesome! It's nice to hit the button and have it do its thing!! I think that's the way it's supposed to work. Got lucky I guess !! Sure hope ya leave the pain behind ya on this trip. As usual, keep up the good work via your blog...

  7. hi billy bob , you sure stroking a lot of to get done stuff off your list ,at that rate you will not have any thing to do for your wonderful son when he get's back from florida . i thought you told everybody that you would sit back and relax and let your wonderful son have pleasure fixing stuff for his daddy.
    make sure you research you potential back surgeon , find out how many years of back surgery he has how many surgeries altogether has he done and most important what percentage of those peoples was 100% pain free ? oh and maybe get your wonderful son robert and the other one billy to get there surgery first , you know kinda like guinea pigs . lol .

  8. "She is in no pain. Cleaned up the yard yesterday....like a "man"......dang! "

    That's high compliment coming from you! Does that mean you did not help her?
