Holy cows....let's do something

If there was any excitement yesterday, I don't recall any of it. An' "hell no, I didn't git no housework done".

Yesterday was one of them days....hurt like a sum-a-gun all day long. But, this morn'n, I feel soooo much better. I'm think'm I could take a walk around Home Depot or Walmart....spend some pocket change.

"Yo Mama's" surgery didn't go as expected. She's fine an' back home. But, she had to wait for hours after her appointment time before they cut her open. Think'n she' gonna be a bit grouchy for the next few days.

Ok, I ain't got nuttin more to say. Get'n ready for a trip to town....pick up some parts an' just cruise the streets.

Third day in Georgia...whoop-dee-doo

Well here it is another day already an' all I been do'n is sit'n on my buttocks when I should be do'n stuff. By do'n stuff, I'm mean like maybe sweep an' mop the floor, make up the bed, vacuum the dead bugs off my desktop.....you know what I'm talk'n bout....freak'n housework. God I hate housework.

Cat is buried out there in the neighbors yard. Well, it ain't really the neighbors yard, but it'n not "Yo Mama's" property. Ya might say it's buried in the woods. Grandson Nick was kind enough to do that for his papaw. He's a good boy. At least the little kitten got 5 days of cuddles an' lov'ns from me an' Robert.

Holy cows, it was cold last night....58 freak'n degs. Would you believe if'n I tole you I turn on a heater last night? Was a nice comfortable 68 degs in "da house" this morn'n. Sleeped like a baby.

From the storm that hit south Texas. This is the street in front of "El Rancho Abraham's" (Billy Bob's camp'n site). Had I not left 2 days early, I would have been slap dab in the middle that storm. The old Billy Bob does make a good decision once in a while.

Darling daughter Doris drop by a bit ago an' brung me a piece of cake she baked. She's tak'n "Yo Mama" to her morn'n shoulder surgery. Robert is go'n too. Hope all goes well. Let ya know later.

Ok, that's the only new news I can think of right now. I'm gonna do something here in a bit. Don't know what, but it's probly very important I get it done. God I hate housework.

Update....kitty died....That cat...."77"

That dad gum cat. I had'a feed that sucker at 4am. I was sit'n there in "that chair" ya know...snooz'n. Had that cat cuddle up next to me. Have ya ever hear a cat scream SCREAM? "Daddy, feed me right now". This is one loud cat.

It's now 11:15am an' that cat is still in deep sleep. Ha, had to wake it up to see if'n it was still alive. Then I feed the cat....15ml of store bought kitty milk stuff with a little store bought kitty "titty" bottle thingy. Thanks to DIL Mandi. Oh yeah Mandi, thanks also for the litter box, scooper an' high dollar "Tidy Cats" litter stuff.

Now, bout this cat. Do I really want another cat or don't I? I like cats an' all that stuff,  but rais'n a cat creates stress. That's one thing I don't need. Like try'n to depart a RV park at check out time. You ain't gonna depart until that cat is ready to come inside. Ya gotta spend a hour look'n for that sucker. Walk'n through your over easy eggs to get to your glass of milk. Steal'n a filet of fish off the counter while you're cook'n supper. Dig'n toenails in your legs while climb'n in your lap go'n down the road bout a hunnert mile a hour . But anyhows...stress sucks. I'll try this for a few days or a couple weeks. If'n it don't work out, Robert an' Mandi will be the proud owners of another cat.
Cat's name will NOT be Seventi Seven (77)".

Yesterday I had to lay back. I was in terrible pain. Come [this] close to fall down more than once. Oh yeah, follow up doctor appointment next Tuesday. Sure do wished they could find a fix that would last more than 8 months. But I GOT to do something, even if'n it is only temporary.

Bout that back surgery I was soooo much want'n to get last year. I have a lady friend that had back surgery a few months back. Same thing I was gonna have. She was released from the hospital a few days ago after her second surgery with 45 staples in her back. Something like that.....she may never dance again.

Ha, cat just decided my bare feet was the place to take a nap. Man, them toenails are sharp.

Had to make a temporary repair to the tored awning yesterday. Duck tape an' super glue. Shoot, it look like it might last a couple years. Awning is up an' provid'n shade on my camp site. 

"Yo Mama" is scheduled for shoulder surgery tomorrow. Poor girl. I rekon I'm gonna be tak'n care of her this year instead of her tak' n care of me. HIL (husband in law) works dur'n the day an' Robert has things to do....work'n with son Billy today.  

By the way, Billy come by yesterday an' we have us a great visit. Daddy son time for bout 4 or 5 hour. He's a good boy.

Ok, it's time to start me up a "Fix Sally da house" list. Hope we don't have to pull (remove) the slide out again. But, the repairs have got to be done.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have something excit'n to write bout. I guess I would need to do something excit'n before I can write bout it. Dad gum lawn tractor is locked up so I cain't cut no grass. I like tractors.

Well shoot, poor little kitty took his last breath. Don't know what happened, but he just laid down an' died. 

Georgia trip

Into the start of my 14th year of full time RV'n, I'm bout wored slap out. I base this on my experiences of "go'n down the road" for the last 4 years. They ain't been all that easy like they supposed to be.

I rekon I can give ya a little recap of the trip from south Texas to Georgia, but it ain't gonna be nuttin excit'n. It all started back at "el Rancho Abraham's RV Resort". We had a awning to roll up. A new awning will be ordered in the next few days. Ya see, when ya leave a awning out an' the winds get up, the awning material will stretch on the windward side. Then, when ya roll it up, it don't roll straight, due to the stretched material. An' when that happens, the locking arms refuse to assume the locking position. Go'n down the road a hunnert mile a hour, that dad gum awning could all a sudden unroll itself an' probly gonna do some serious damage. Adjustments was attempted. The awning now has a couple small tears on each end....what will eventually make their way all the ways down the roller bar thingy to the other end. We forced it to the locking position.

The State inspection was no problem at all like I done tole you a few days ago. Nice lady. We hit the road, highway 77 north with a changeover at Rockdale onto highway 79 north. Along the way we stopped for a pee break at a picnic area. This is when Robert rescued the cat puppy from under "Sally da house".

Other than a storm up the road a piece, the entire trip was a piece of cake. Gas mileage a bit lower than what I like to see, but we made it all the ways to "Yo Mama's" in Geogia (1021 mile) on bout 120 gallons of gas.

Ok, I got a house full...cain't talk no more for a bit.......

 See....I tole you

Have a happ all ya mama's out there

Here it is another day. Sun is shin'n through the winders an' I feel like crap this monr'n.

Ya see, I like to froze to death last night. It was a very comfortable 75 degs long bout 10:30pm when I reclined in "that chair". I'm gonna get me a good nights sleep. Then long bout 2am, freez'n cold air was blow'n in through the winders. I ain't got no blankie. Ain't no need to say any more.

Besides feel'n like crap, I don't feel worth a poop. I'm weak, my back hurts, I been do'n a couple cough'n fits an' my stomach is cry'n for a alka-seltzer. Ha, typical morn'n.

Be go'n down the road a piece here in a bit. One more fuel stop in Birmingham, Al. an' we be in Georgia lickity split. Some time this afternoon.

I ain't took no photos, so there ain't none of them to post. Ya see, once ya get east of Texas, there ain't nuttin to take photos of. Trees an' highway, that's it.

That's it for now. Got to get myself feel'n a bit better before we crank this thing up.
 

"You travel too fast Billy Bob"....who me???

Well shoot, we haul'n. Left Sinton, Texas for the Texas safety inspection place just up the road a piece. Nice lady was eat'n a salad for lunch an' I tole her I was in a hurry t get out of town. That worked, she put down her fork an' wint out an' check all my lights, git on the computer, says "that'll be $7 an' have a good day. Ha, an' I was stress'n that "da house wouldn't pass inspection.

We got on Hwy 77 headed north by 11am I'm think'n it was. Stop at a picnic area an' discovered a cat scream'n "git me out of here". We now have a cat puppy on board. Since we was on hwy 77, Robert named it "Seventy Seven".....go figger. I'm guess'n 4 weeks old.

Stopped for gas.

That storm what Dizzy Dick said I would miss, let me tell ya bout a storm. We was 50 mile or so south of Tyler, Texas an' there was lightning, "A" bomb" thunder an' rain drops big as gallon jugs. Crus'n down the road bout 50 mile a hour.....cain't see squat. We sleeped on I-20 bout 400 mile up the road a piece. Rain for hours.

Some drizzle rain this morn'n, but by the time we got on the road (9:30am), it was clear skys. We headed east for Shreveport an' beyond.

Stopped for gas.

We are now half ways in the slap middle of Mississippi.....721 miles to be exact. That's not bad time for a second day. An' we gonna head on further down the road here in a bit. NO WAIT, no we ain't. We gonna stay right here until morn'n....only 280 miles to "Yo Mama's". Shoot, we gonna be there for "mama's" day.

The entire day, after the rains quit, has been a wonderful day. Not even a ounce of troubles. I can vouch for that.

See ya down the road a piece...tomorrow some time. 

Update....we have a cat.....Storms forecasted.....on the road again

Storms forecasted for the area an' for the entire trip....gonna leave early.

Had terrible problems get'n the awning rolled up. Gonna replace.

See ya down the road a piece.
*********************************************

We have a cat. Only fount one...little bitty thing. Robert already named it "Seventi Seven".

Just fueled up 280 mile up the road. Gonna add another 90 miles here is a couple seconds. Rest Area on I-20...Tyler, Texas.
