Google, you suck

Wow boy howdy, Google sure is beat'n up on some of us bloggers. I did notice my yesterday's post was finally updated some time this morn'n. As of midnight last night it wasn't.

I got myself so worked up, I went to Port Aransas. I was in need of gas, some smokes an' pick up my mail. An' Sadie Mae was tickle pink....bark'n at sea gulls an' stuff like that. Gasoline in Aransas Pass was $1.85. Cleaned out both liquor stores of their supply of Clipper light little cigars. Got me a 5 pound bag full of mail.

In the mail was a registration reminder that "it's time". So's I go down to city hall an' I get me the registration for the "billy jeep". I'm good for another year. Don't seem like I've owned this Jeep for a year does it?

Then it was a quick stop at Walmart on the return home. Aransas Pass has a nice Walmart. I never cuss one time.  Well I want you lookie here....a clock. I throws it in the cart. Ya see, the clock I now have, stops run'n any ol' time it wants. I have no freak'n idea what time it is. We gonna give this'un a try.

Anyhows, I heads off to the office/school supply section. I'm look'n for some material to build a "Alice". The thin plastic sheet are too thin. I didn't get any. But I did buy me up a big ol' piece of 20 by 30 foam board. I've used it before an' it's some wonderful stuff. This will be perfect for the sides, top an' bottom. An' it's cheap as hell. Note: Back at "da house" I got to think'n, this foam board will dent an' scratch rather easy....it needs a harder surface. The too thin plastic stuff glued to the foam board would be perfect as a covering.

Off to the arts an' crafts section. Yup, hang'n right there on the wall is some white an' black stretch beading cord. Perfect size for the rigging on the tug boat. I buy one of each.

Home at last. I got to sit myself down an' take up some Advil.....no, think'n it was two aspirin. Then I got all excitis bout that stretch cord. It's not the color I want it. I mix up some very thin acrylic paint an' I dye that cord a dark tan. Not what I was want'n, but I ain't go'n back to Walmart. One piece of rigging rope was installed.....nice, I like that.

That was my yesterday. A successful day. Hope today is as good or better. Did I mention I had the A/C cranked up yesterday afternoon. Ya see, the wind blowed my door shut while I was off run'n the streets. It was very very hot in "da house" when I returned.

Ok, I got a golf'n game with the OFM Barney to prepare for. Today's game ain't gonna be nuttin like our last game. I'm gonna play in the fareway, not the woods. May even try that new Cobra driver what ain't been used in bout a year.

  3. Gas is even cheaper over my way. Yay! It's said this cheap cost is harming the economy but it sure is helping our pocketbooks. Right? Lovin' it.

    1. It's probably harming the economy of the oil companies, but I suppose it also harms the retirement accounts of people whose money is invested in oil. It's the rich who are crying about oil harming the economy (their economy) but what about folks who are just able to make ends meet.

  5. B.B. ever since the gas started to drop ,my canadian dollar has dropped . my dollar was worth almost the same as a usa dollar ,now i pay $1 plus 24cents plus 3.5% to the bank for currency convertion .
    for one usa dollar i am paying approx. $1.29 canadian . now if i pay one dollar for lets say a drink at mc donald's restaurant = $1 plus 8.25 tax = $1.0825 plus $1.29 so i end up paying for that drink a total of $1.37 and every day i look my money is shrinking more and more . i am hurting B.B.
