Busy Day

Boy howdy, let me tell ya. Old Billy Bob been bust'n butt today. Got so busy he done forgot to eat. I rekon that first pot of "mud" coffee I made this morning had something to do with it. Think I put two scoops instead of one. But you talk bout an eye opener. I mean to tell ya, that other eye come open real quick like. I like my coffee strong, but Holy Cows that stuff make your hair stand up all way down to your toes.

Got all enthused this morning and done up all the dishes and took out the trash. Old  pesky neighbor Wayne come over ask'n if'n I was feel'n alright. Then I headed off to Walmart for a loaf of bread. LOLOLOL...hahahaha...$132 for a loaf of bread??? Gonna be some fine eat'n at Billy Bob's house for the next couple weeks. Had'a take 20 of them rainbow trout over to Wayne's freezer so I would have room for all the other stuff I just bought. "Walmart loves ya Billy Bob". Speak'n of Walmart, does anyone know where they moved the shoe department? Look all over and couldn't find it. But I suppose I could'a ask.  Lolololol...hahahaha...a man ask? Ya got to be kid'n???  Ain't no way a man gonna ask directions.

After all groceries were put in their proper places, I went outside to sit on the porch, sip a cup and do some think'n. Got to think'n maybe I could pick up some this junk on the floor.....what I did. Then I started mov'n stuff around, throwed stuff in the trash, hosed down "da porch", pick up some stuff lay'n in the yard and called it quits for the day. And a good day it was.

Get'n all ex-citis bout that boat I gonna build. This gonna be my first wooden ship model I ever build in my life. I built some them plastic ship models...ie "Cutty Sark" two times...ten years apart. Look just like this one...sails and all.

While I was off to town today, I stopped by the Hughes Net satellite gut who was gonna bring me a brand spank'n new dish to replace the bent one he brought me the other day. He done forget. But, I put my old one back up and it's work'n pretty good...considering. Still not right, but working.

Sunshine????

Ok....so what if the sun is shin'n??? Does that mean I can go outside and sit on "da porch" sip'n a cup? That's the plan, but it's gonna be a while since it's still 34 degs out there. This is it....winter is over. Yee Haa!!!

Old pesky neighbor Wayne come over this morning complain'n bout some freak'n bird. Seems one of the "trailer trash" is going to California and needed to get rid of a bird. Wayne was quick to jump on it and took that sucker home...right now. Now I gonna have to listen to has rant'n and rav'n bout how hard it is to take care of a bird....sheesh!!! I'll let the sucker loose...that what I would do.

Wouldn't ya know it....remember all the problems I have with "that jeep"??? Well NOW there is a terrible vibration in the front end. Climbed up under there "take a look" and...yep....that would cause a vibration. Front pinion bearing got to be replaced. Now...if'n I replace the pinion bearing, take the lift kit off and replace them big ass tires, that gonna cost me right at $1500. That would make "that jeep" worth over $5000 with a resale value of $2800. What a deal. Time to put my "little red Bronco II" back on the road and park "that jeep".

As you know, old Billy Bob ain't get'n round like he used to do. Seems like every day something new pops up and mess up all my plans. My heart is work'n just fine, but damn....I can't breath worth a crap. Just that long walk (15 feet) to the porch wears me slap out...gotta sit down and take a "breather". Sip some coffee and do some think'n.

Speak'n of think'n...did ya know that ya can't do good think'n when you're cooped up in a motorhome? There's something bout sit'n outside (on da porch sip'n a cup) that makes the mind do wonders. I got me some think'n to do so's I better get my shoes on and go outside...."Lug Nut", where my other shoe"??

Speak'n of shoes....did ya know that old Billy Bob ain't wore shoes in a year and a half??? Ya see, it's like this...shoes hurt my feet. I got this big ole Arthur-itis thingy on my big toe and when I put it in a shoe....Boy howdy does it hurt.
Shoe update....I got a pair of steel toe shoes from when I worked at The University of Texas what ain't never been wore. Gonna give them a try today and see what happen. Red Wings.

Another miserable day

Boy howdy, when it rains, it pours. Got up this morning to some the biggest clouds ya ever see in your life. It was cold....then it started rain'n....then it started snow'n up in the mountains....then the sun come out, what made the wind start blow'n. So take a random guess where old Billy Bob been all day. You're probably right if'n ya guessed "inside".

There is absolutely nothing to write about today, so I may just leave it at this....but ya never know what I gonna do.

Update:
That $100 savings I was tell'n ya bout that I thought was gonna cost me $225....well, I call the guy and he said...."your order will be shipped out Wednesday and you should get it by Saturday or Monday" Now that sounds like "good news" to me, but....could he have been lying???

Boy howdy that sunshine sure did a number on the snow over there on the mountains....all gone...pooof, just like that. Gonna have to run a faucet tonight so's my freak'n water line don't freeze up again. This sucks!!!

Happy sunshine day

Holy crap....who been mess with my clock??? Oh yeah, it's daylight savings time. Now where ya get the idea that we saving time??? It seems to me that all this crap does is mess up my sleep'n time. Although I do like to still see daylight at 8 pm. The way I see it, there is only so much daylight in a given day no matter what time it is. Sunset could be at noon and it still wouldn't matter....the sun gonna still shine 12 hours plus a day.

Let me tell ya bout a rabbit hunt'n dog.  It seems that somehow a rabbit got hisself stranded in the fenced in yard at Billy Bobs house. Well Lug Nut see him and just like that, run that rabbit in a 4 inch pvc pipe where he ain't gonna never come out.

That piece of pipe come from another encounter with a rabbit last year when Lug Nut drug that sucker to "da house" from way over there....bout 50 yards or so. This time Lug Nut drug it all over the yard, up under "da porch", knock over my flat tire bicycle and never gave up for a second. After a couple hours I decided that that poor little rabbit had had enough of this abuse. I shook him out that pipe into the cactus garden. He stood there try'n to figger out where he was and then he see Lug Nut....pooooof, he were gone....just like that. I could'a eat that rabbit.


I know I ain't the first, but I got to admit....I think I done been scammed. Remember that $100 I were gonna save??? Well it look like I gonna be "out" $225....including shipping and handling. "Damn Billy Bob, sometime you so stupit".


Tom, the satellite guy, brung me a brand spank'n new dish yesterday. Didn't cost me nuttin. So, after while, I gonna replace this one what been blowed over a couple time with this brand spank'n new one.
Speed test: Before change 39KB per sec.download....28.6 KB per sec. upload.
                  After change.....now this really sucks....23KB down....24KB up

Now what the hell ya gonna do Billy Bob???? It does absolutely no good at all to call customer service. They all in India and don't speak good English....but even if they did, it still does no good at all to call customer service. So.....old Billy Bob gonna do a bit of advertiz'n for Hughes Net Satellite Internet....if'n you're think'n bout it....DON'T DO IT. $$$$$ a month for dial up speed ain't worth the effort. It's a rip off. Their internet service sucks. By cracky I feel much better now. But old Billy Bob is still pissed.

Update:
Ah ha, old Billy Bob go outside and take a look see that brand spank'n new satellite dish. Here the deal....that sucker is bent...right there where it ain't sposed to be. Ya rekon that why the satellite guy "gave" it to me for free??? Bet ya a dollar I take it back to him tomorrow morning on my way to get a loaf of bread from Walmart.

Turtles

Did I ever tell ya bout the time.......it were back in 47' when I lived on a farm up there in Missouri. I had me a little red wagon what was my "pick'em up", an 18 wheeler, a farm tractor, and live animal carrier. Went down to the creek one day and started pick'n up all my turtles to take back to the house. Had a whole load of them. I was turn'n them loose in the front yard when here comes "moms" shak'n her head at such a sight. Then she sat me down for my first lesson on "family". Each one of them turtles was someones mom, pop, sister or brother....and I had done took them away from their relatives. Since that day, I have never removed a critter from where I found him....or if I do, it's for their protection against the wildest critters ever invented...humans.
That's all I have to say bout that......Gump!!!

Turned out to be a really nice day. Sunshine, no wind and 68 degs. Perfect weather for sit'n on "da porch" sip'n a cup and think'n. And that what I did.

Old Billy Bob went look'n at them riverboats again yesterday and I want you lookie here, fount the same boat for $100 less. Now that's a deal. Put me some change in my debit account...now gonna order my boat. Then I got to figger out how to install remote control in it. Boy howdy...can hardly wait. Bet ya a dollar it gonna cost a grand fore I finish.

Trailer Park News

Have ya ever see a dog "stomp" on something with his two front feet. Well that the way Lug Nut wake me up every morning. The more I growl at him the harder he stomps. It's really funny...you would have to see it to get the drift on what I'm say'n. Well....this morning I pull a trick on him. He was sound asleep and old Billy Bob did some stomp'n on him. Boy howdy was he pissed.

Trailer trash news. Seems that since her boyfriend is in jail, his friend wants to move in with her. Sheesh!!! Other "trailer trash" news. His brother is pissed at her for the law do'n their job of put'n him in jail where he belongs. Sheesh!!!

Have ya ever see a dog eat pecans??? Well I got one...Sadie Mae. Old pesky neighbor Wayne gave my a sack of pecans and she eats them....crack that shell right open and gobble the goodies. Of course she eats half the shell too.

UPS brung me my mail today...all 9 pounds of it. Holy crap!!! That's 4 months worth of mail in one box.

Today should be the last day of wind and winter in Deming. At least that's what I'm hoping for. I been back 6 days and all 6 days have sucked. I wanna play golf. And sit on the porch sip'n a cup. But...I can't really complain as the last 6 days were the only experience I've had of cold in the last 4 months. 30 degs again this morning....and windy all day long.
