"Holy cows Billy Bob, where the hell have you been"???
Yup, I gonna say Holy Cows too. I been sit here do'n the best I can under circumstances. Now where do I start to bring everbody up to date?
Well shoot, let's start with the couch. When Robert bring it to "da house", that sucker was tore up something terrible. Well....only the seat part an' one arm rest thingy. Medium strength foam rubber was bought an' I went to work with my butcher knife an' got it all sized to fit [*] this close to perfect.....within a inch or so. No really, it fit perfect. Then we went off to Joann's fabric sell'n place. Bought up 3 yards of vinyl upholstery, a close color match but not perfect. Cuss a little bit along the way. After 3 or 4 days I put that upholstery on the foam rubber an' wire ties it to the spring frame thingy. For somebody what ain't never done no upholstery, this thing look pretty damn good. A couple little mistakes what I ain't gonna point out an' the couch is in place in "Sally da house".
Oops....posted the wrong photo:
Try this one without the bottom thingy installed yet....."damn Billy Bob".
Whoa wait, it's too freak'n high. By bout 2 inches. Short women sit on it an' their feet don't touch the floor. Ya see, when we worked on the slide out, we raised it bout a 1 inches give or take. To lower the couch would be bout a 2 day chore....cut 2 inch out the steel legs an' put back together. But....the arm rest thingys would also have to be modified. Do I or don't I????
Ok, do I like the couch back in "da house" an' the most comfortable recliner in the world gone? Well, at the moment I can truthfully say "Oh hell yes". But I sure do miss sit'n in that recliner watch'n the TV at night. My liv'n room floor is once more big enough to git down dirty danc'n. Ha, betcha a dollar I cain't do that shit no more.
I ain't started the "billy jeep" in bout 2 weeks. Wonder if'n the freak'n battery is dead again. There is still a code in the computer an' I'm skeered to drive it. Sucker stop run'n an' I have to walk my ass home. Now if'n I was bout 20 years younger, that code would mean absolutely nuttin to me. I could easily walk back home at that age. But damn, at 74 year old, I ain't gonna be do'n no walk'n.
Got me a appointment with the hernia doctor, but it's 2 weeks from now. They gonna have to run a few tests on me to see if'n I will live through a operation under general anesthesia. I'm gonna ask the doc if'n the operation can be done under sedation an' local anesthesia. In some places that's an' option. Gonna also ask the time period for the operation. I only have bout 2 more months here in Georgia, so's it has to be done rather quickly. You know....like tomorrow.
I been hav'n me some hip pains again. But that could be my fault. Couch repair, mov'n the desktop......pick'n up heavy shit. The pains still ain't near as bad but damn, I'm hav'n to take aspirin. Appointment on the 14th is another injection in the F5 joint. Hope it helps.
Ha, I goes outside an' I cranks up the "billy jeep". Sound just like a brand spank'n new one.
"member that new coffee pot I was tell'n ya bout? Well, I still don't like it. It brews up super quick, but then ya gotta wait 5 minutes for the coffee to dran out of the grind thingy before you install the lid. That's 10 minutes to brew up a 8 cup pot. Think'n I'll be buy'n me another Mr Coffee pretty soon that I can pour me a cup before the brew'n process is finished. When I want coffee, I want it now.
Ok, I'm out of here. Maybe my nest (* still don't work) post will be sooner than this one was.

Good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteIs the couch comfortable for you to get out of? If so, then don't worry about us short-legged women. Get a sofa pillow or two to put behind our backs so we can sit forward enough to have our feet touch the ground or at least that is how I sit in furniture that is designed for people taller than me.
The blog will not let me post directly so I am piggybacking Judy.
DeleteGlad to hear you are still kicking. "I only have bout 2 more months here in Georgia," Where ya going BB?
Judy, yes I have no problem with git'n out the couch. But when I sit in it an' ain't lay'n down, I would like a better foot contact to the floor....knees higher than hips. Think'n I'll probly lower it a bit.
DeleteBarney, I'm think'n everbody knows I need to go back to south Tejas for inspections, registrations an' a brand spank'n new driver license. Think'n early July to leave here.
DeleteYep I forgot about those things. Sorry.
DeleteYeah BB where ya goin' in 2 months? Texas maybe??
ReplyDeleteCouch looks good too.
Yup George, back to Texas for a bit.
DeleteI think the couch looks pretty good too.
How did you get those fancy pleated lines on the back of the couch? Looks great. Glad you are back posting again.
ReplyDeleteSorry I weren't no plainer bout what part of the couch needed repair. *Well....only the seat part an' one arm rest thingy.*
DeleteThe back of the couch had no damage at all.
Yeah, I'm piggy-backin', too. How come I can post on everyone else's site but yours, Billy Bob?
DeleteGood to hear from you again, and welcome (almost) home to Texas. Couch looks great, and I'm with the ladies - it's your home, so do what works for you. We'll make do when we come to visit ...
I'm with Judy--just get me some pillows to support my back and I'm fine sitting at the front of the couch. Makes it easier to get up again, too.
ReplyDeleteHa ha Linda, that's what "yo mama" does when she comes down to visit.
DeleteWhen I was much younger I was a perfectionist, and would have taken a bit off those couch legs - no problem. Now when I finish a job it's finished, and I ain't touching it up! I think the couch looks super good, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI have the same trait Gypsy. I like everthing to be as close to perfect as possible. I'll probly lower the couch.
Deletehi BB. so are you go to send me a one way greyhound ticket to atlanta GA. to have me drive you down to texas ? and why did you take out your 6 foot all purpose (work,hobby,and dinning) table and put back that awful uncomfortable sofa/bed ? now of all things you do not have room for your most comfortable recliner chair that you fall so fast into deep deep restful sleep in .do you still have the drawers that used to fit under the sofa ? or are you going to build new ones ? hope to here from you on a daily basses like we used to ,ok take care .
ReplyDeletelooks like yer a jack of all trades bb. couch looks great. good job with no finger needle sticks?
ReplyDeleteMy life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging.
