I put stuff back together.......done.

This is gotta be short 'cause I got income tax to deal with. An' I hate deal'n with the IRS in any shape or form. Well wait a minute....they send me a check, I'm gonna deal with that check right now.

Did you know....the old Billy Bob has to pay tax every year. Even thought he is retired, ain't got no job an' lives on the streets....homeless. That just ain't right when almost half the working population don't pay no taxes at all. An' they make way, way, WAY more than the old Billy Bob makes. I probly make $13 over poverty level, so our wonderful IRS requires me to file an' pay my fair share to suppore the 47% that don't pay. That Grrrrrrr's me.

Ok, yesterdays repairs have been completed. The deal with the park neutral safety solenoid kick'n in an' out....I ended up go'n to the auto parts place an' purchase me a new ignition switch. Install the sucker. Now the solenoid stay kicked in an' it gets hot. Question is....is it supposed to stay kicked in an' get hot? Yup, I Google that question.....found no information. I don't think it's supposed to stay kicked in, but what the hell do I know? So....I gonna leave it as is an' hope that solenoid don't burn up.

Oh crap....hold on, tax thingy is bout to time out....be back in a minute.

More than a minute later....taxes are filed an' I git'n billions of $$$$ back. Well maybe not that much, but enough for a round of golf an' a shop'n trip to Walmart.

The dashboard has been put back together, steering column bolted in place.....damn, what a bitch job that was. The driver seat is back in place. One more test of all components.....Yeeee Haaa, they all work. Engine even start right up. I honks the horn....beep beep.

So now I'm right back to the same place I was a couple days ago....check'n stuff off'n the "Georgia trip to do" list. It's get'n short, but you know the old Billy Bob, he gonna add to it. On top of that list, I got housework to do again....an' a ton of tools lay'n on the floor that need to be returned to the garage compartments.

I fell slap asleep in "that chair" again last night watch'n boring stuff on the TV. Waked up at 6am hurt'n like a sum-a-gun. What the hell, this chair is super comfortable. My feet are swelled up. Bruises on my arm look terrible, worser than the day before. Maybe some new bruises from put'n that stuff back together. But anyhows, for the laast month, something just ain't right. Breathing is OK except for cough'n up puffs of smoke. Eye sight is pretty good today. Oh crap, it's rain'n.....hood is wide open an' the fuse thingys is get'n wet. *closed that sucker, now I'm wet*

Did I tell ya bout this dad gum computer? All of a sudden, the curser goes all over the screen...an' I ain't touch'n nuttin. I have no control with the touch pad. External mouse works fine. Now when it does that, I have to close the lid, what puts the laptop to sleep an' I open it up again. The curser an' touch pad is fine for a while. All this started after upgrading from Win 8.0 to 8.1. Grrrrrrrr. Ha, I got so pissed one time, I slap this thing. Oh shit, the screen go black an' rebooted. Won't be slap'n it no more. Toshiba is supposed to be a good computer. I'm wonder'n if'n it really is. Or is it Windows 8.1??

Ok, that's all I got to say right now. Damn I miss the old ol' Billy Bob!!!!

  1. I think developers go crazy dreaming up new stuff for computers to please the young crowd (and those who wish they were still part of the young crowd). We don't need new versions of anything every six months. I don't even like doing updates because I know I won't recognize the screen or else nothing will work the same as it did - like I'll need to learn everything all over again. If it wasn't for blogging and emailing I'd quit computerin'!

  2. Good to read you are making progress; I'm betting my dollars on you being ready to go when it's time to go. Too bad Robert has to hitch hike to Texas though. It is dangerous to do this, ISN"T IT?

    1. It's been so long that I've hitch hiked to Texas, I don't recall just how dangerous it is.

  4. Seems like anything that is made to kick in should be able to kick out or they would have made it in one position to begin with and getting hot doesn't sound right either. I can't stand anything electronic.

    1. Sure do wished I had reached under the dash before the first ignition switch burn up...an' wrap my fingers round that solenoid to see if'n it was hot or not. My thoughts are the same as yours...think'n something ain't right.

  5. Dang, at least you have enough income that you need to pay taxes. I didn't make anything and I don't owe any taxes. I am just retired and broke (grin).

    1. Actually Dizzy, I don't have enough income to pay taxes on. It's just that some of my investments put me into the tax pay'n position.
