Stress really sucks

I'm gonna start todays post with a....."what the hell ya do'n up at this hour Billy Bob"?
Dang, this is two nights in a row that I couldn't get sleep. Then get up waaaay too early. Stress, stress an' a case of depression.....that what it are.
I'm a 6 or 7 hour a night type person. That's all I need an' much over that, I get up all cranky grouchy an' stuff.

I'm hav'n a tough time try'n to decide what to do with these dad gum nerves in my back. Do I kill 'em, or just go on with my life? That's just one thing I been think'n bout. With winter com'n on.....today, I want to get out of Georgia ASAP. But that seems to be "down the road a piece". This credit/debit card thingy has me up in the air at bout 10,000 feet. "Look out great big ol' airliner, this is Billy Bob's air space". An' then, there's this dad gum Windows 8.1 that is eat'n me alive. Did I mention a "black cloud" hang'n over my head?  

That cold front I was tell'n ya bout, well the rain has arrived an' cold temps right behind it. I won't be outside plant'n no cabbage today. I planted cabbage on time. Tennis ball size cabbage is not a good grow'n season. Have ya ever plant 4 rows of okra? Nobody tole me them suckers would turn into trees. Like to never get them out my garden. Also, we ain't gonna be work'n on no "billy jeep" today.

 Ha....dishes are done. Floors are sweeped an' mopped. Trash bag is in the dumpster. Desktop WAS cleaned. Part of my camp'n site yard was manicured. Dang, I need new camp chairs. Went right through that sucker when I sit down.

I don't EVEN care if'n ya wanna hear bout it or not....I worked on the tug boat last night. Did some more Bondo work, sand'n, install'n deck mount do-hickys....glued two fingers together. The hull is look'n like a Tackawana Tug Boat hull. Ha....I look up prices for the stuff'n box kit (prop an' shaft), motor, motor speed control, servos an' radio gear. Holy crap, right at a bit over $300. An' still need a battery.

I fount a pic from another "ship builder" that changed the color on his build.

 Now, in my book, that looks like a tug boat. Yeller stacks? I think not. Black....yeah black. I have all the options in the world. I can paint it any color I want. I'm open to suggestions.

  1. Just got back home here a few days ago and met a friend yesterday. She just had the very same nerve procedure done 6 days ago and was taking a walk with no leg pain at all. She is one happy lady.

    1. I hope the happy lasts longer than the 6 or 8 months my doctor tole me. It's a simple procedure, I may still do it.

  3. I agree with you, black stacks are a must on a tug boat or what ever that boat is. Yellow sucks for sure.

  4. Hey there Billy Bob we blew the horn as we drove by on I-75. You hear us??
    Just before we got the heavy duty rain by Perry. Got to Unadilla about 2:45 sunshine and 80 degrees. We will take this any day over the freezing temps back home, even if it gets cooler.
    Gonna be a nice lookin boat.

  5. I think I would go for the murder, if you've already decided against surgery.

    1. I decided against surgery a long time ago. I didn't want to chance wake'n up "dead" from heart failure or my lungs not crank'n back up. Now I did consider a 1/5th of Jack Daniels to put me to sleep while they cut me open, but then I would wake up with a terrible hangover.

  6. Paint the stacks clear so they don't show at all.

  8. My tug boat would have a nice dark eggplant color for the stacks.

  9. Make the stacks flat black w/ a white 'M' on the forward stack. Then get me a pry bar. I'm stuck in this traditionalist mud here...
