Excellent weather

Boy howdy were I glad I turn that faucet on last night. It was 24 degs, what everyone know will freeze idle water. Slept all night long up to 6:20am when that damn dog wanted out. It was still very dark out there and he were gone....like a bullet...out there in that field hunt'n rabbits just like them coyotes do. That dog worries me!!!

Spent way too much time on Mr Wells chat thingy this morning. Now I got to postpone one of my chores for the day. Since the vacuum cleaner is out, I'll go ahead and vacuum all the carpet. That may turn into the only chore I do today......like that idea!!! Have 4 forks left in the drawer, so dishes can wait a couple more days. Trash is bagged, but I can toss that outside for a day or so. Don't want to overload myself with too much work ya know.

Will be back later.............

Knowed I shouldn't'a ate them 6 pieces bacon, 3 "el grande" big'um eggs and a big scoop of the chili. Put old Billy Bob out like a light. But I did get half the vacuum'n done before I laid down. Now that I'm back up, do I or don't I?

Got a phone call from the windshield fix'n place....winders are in. Told them I would be there Tuesday morning at 8am. Now all I got to do is figger out how the hell I gonna do that. To be there at 8am, I got to leave here at 5am and at 5am I am grouchy as hell and have only one eye open. Probably gonna just go Monday evening and sleep in their parking lot. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Gonna have to put the dogs on Waynes porch so he can baby sit.

Grease bag

What is it with this froze water hose again? Holy crap, it was 19.6 degs this morning. Didn't let a faucet drip last night 'cause the weather man say it was gonna only be 34 degs. Oh well!!!

I ain't gonna do nuttin today unless it gets warm and I absolutely have to. Was gonna go mess with "that jeep", but then I got to think'n....it gonna be there tomorrow. Speak'n of mess'n with that jeep, old Billy Bob ain't no jack leg backyard mechanic. But it do remind me the time....the drag races was tomorrow (1958) and there was a little knock'n sound in my souped up Ford flathead engine....that the one with 3 Stromburgs sit'n on top it. Well, I drop a nut down the manifold what went through the "hi lift" oversize intake valve right in there on top one them 60 thousand over size hi dollar rac'n pistons. Good thing it didn't start. By 4 am all was back together, nut in it's rightful place and made weigh in by 8:30. Boy howdy was I a grease ball that day. Came in 3rd place G gas.

Ok....gotta go outside and sip a cup on "da porch"....back laters

Well that didn't last long....freak'n wind started blow'n and I was cold. But I did readjust the steering box in "that jeep".

The rest of the day will be spent doing what is my bestest pastime ..."nuttin".

Froze water hose

Yee gads.....is this really true??? My temp thingy say it were 20 degs. when I roll out them warm covers this morning. Had'a be below 28 for my water hose to freeze up. Got just enough water for my coffee.

Turn both them elect heaters on last night 'cause I knowed it was gonna be cold. Was nice a cozy all night long. That is till I had to go outside to hook up the waste water hose....for the RV'ers out there, that would be gray water.

Boy howdy is it ever gonna be a beautiful day. Sun shin'n, no wind and already up to 37 degs. Don't ya just love the desert???

About that package I got in the mail yesterday. There were this electronic temperature thingy in it that ya just point it and push the button. A little red light come out and it tell ya what the temp is where that little red dot happens to be (infrared laser light). I been gonna buy one them for years. Thank ya Uncle Ben. Oh yeah, that wifi antenna sure will come in handy. Better try it on my other lap top before I screw up something in this one. I'm good at screw'n stuff up.
But, at least I'm also good at fix'n stuff what I screwed up earlier.

Back later....check back...................

How bout a big ole pot of chili???? Ok....pooof, ya got a big ole pot of chili. Old Billy Bob be one them magic fellers ....just snap my fingers and it's done.
Now....how the hell I gonna eat all that in two days???
Snuck me up a sample bowl....boy howdy...Billy Bob, ya did it again. Perfect!!!

Now what I gonna do???? Sheesh, I need to go outside.

Well, I didn't go outside for very long. It's still only 48 degs and the wind started blow'n and clouds started cover'n up my sunshine and I ain't gonna go outside no more today.

So, here what I been do'n. Broke me out some that Super Clean ya get at Walmart and started clean'n the ceiling....Boy howdy, that sucker is dirty...nickertine...fly poop....cook'n grease....finger prints (how the hell them get up there) and just general everyday crap. Being an old fart, don't expect me to finish today....or matter fack...tomorrow either. Ain't like wash'n a car what ya gotta do all at one time.

Ok, back to back break'n work......later for sure.......

Later for sure.....got 16 foots of ceiling spank'n clean. Only 16 more feet and I'm done. Then come the walls, winders and cabinets. Then shampoo the carpet....have me a brand new house, just like that.

Let me tell ya bout that chat thingy on the Field Lab. Boy howdy, I don't get it. "that's all I have to say bout that"

Snow in da desert????

Snow in Deming 2006

Ok, thats it, this crap sucks. Would you believe it was 60 degs at 4am and now at 11am it's 35 degs.????? Old pesky neighbor come over and say it's gonna snow. That's bull...it don't snow in the desert. But they did get snow in Albuquerque last night and this morning. That's 200 miles north of Deming.

Now, what the hell happen last night? I laid back on the couch last night and kept doz'n off. Went to bed at 9:30 and laid there for hours. Go figger!!! Didn't get up till almost 8am.

Guess I'll bundle up in some warm clothes and head off to town for a "that jeep" road test. Got all three my fingers crossed. Got me up a Walmart list and need to go to the hardware store, so it won't be a lost cause trip. "Put 'er on a hundred and let 'er eat". Did that with "Alice" one time on a trip to San Angelo Texas back in '02. Boy howdy you talk bout eat some gas. Rv's ain't designed for 75 mph on a dirt road.

Speak'n of dirt roads, did I ever tell ya bout the time....me and Vickie Lynn got on this dirt road down there in Big Bend National Park headed for Study Butte. Took two hours to go 18 miles or what ever it were. I named it "that road". That's how I found Terlingua...on our way to Presidio. There was washboard, big ole holes, washouts and just plain rough ass road, especially in a motorhome. Took a week to clean up all the broke stuff, sand and dirt. Boy howdy, that was fun.

Back later........

Ok, here's the deal. The jeep went down the road like a Cadillac....an old one. A really old one. It say I gonna go this way and then I gonna go that way....even though I only cross the center line one time. Got 'er too loose Billy Bob.

Poor old Lug Nut was off hunt'n or something when me and Sadie went to town. When we got back a couple hours later, Lug Nut was jump'n up and down like I been gone a month. He was so happy, he went back out in the cold (38 deg) to help me hook up the water hose. Just bout the time I was about to turn it on, Lug Nut jump right in the middle my back....knock me right down on the ground. Crazy dog!!!!

Yep, it snow in the desert. Little bitty snow flakes bout the size a pin head....more like little bitty sleets. But it don't matter what they are, it's freak'n cold out there. Wind blow'n bout 25 mph. It's a blizzard.

Gonna bake me up a cake here in a little bit. Need the extra heat from the oven. Gonna be a pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting. YUM YUM Boy Howdy....that sounds good.
Ok...cake in da oven. Here what ya do....put three great big eggs on top the cake mix and steer it up real good. Then ya add 1/3 cup some kind of oil....I used vegetable oil 'cause the motor oil is outside. Then ya open a can of crushed pineapple in there and steer it all up again....ya might have to add some flour like I did to get the right consistency....bout like cake mix. Throw it in da oven and ya done. Three fingers crossed!!!
Pic later.

Speak'n of three fingers....I knowed a guy what cut a finger off on a table saw. He was a computer programmer. Anyhows, we used to get around the barbie grill drink'n a beer or two and that when we says, "hey three fingers, bring me a beer". Just thought you should know that.
Did I ever tell ya bout old "one eye"???? Hmmmmmm, wonder what kind of nick names women call each other.There it are, just like was was tell'n ya. Now come the hard decision....what corner to start on, or should I just go hog wild and cut me a chunk out the middle?

It were Christmas at Billy Bob's house today. Boy Howdy, I been want'n one them thingy's for years. Lug Nut done been hav'n a blast chas'n it around "da house". Ain't gonna tell ya what it is until tomorrow....naa naa naa.

Winter blues

Holy crap, what was that weatherman think'n? It was 30 degs. when old Billy Bob rolled out of bed this morning. Broke out another elect. heater last night just in case, and it were a case of "just in case". I would'a died had I depended on that heater in the other room. Nice a cozy all night long.

Pesky neighbor Wayne come over bout 7:30, all bundled up....gloves and stuff. He took the dogs for a ride around the park in the "open air" golf cart and when he got back, he was almost blue from the freez'n weather. Brrrrrrrr!!!!

Looks like an inside day for the rest of the morning. Won't be in the 70's till after 3pm.....according to the weather guy....what was wrong last night......by 8 degs. There ain't a breath of a breeze out there, so maybe I'll jack up "that jeep" and see why it's so hard to steer with the key off. More on that idea later. Hmmmm....sounds like work to me.

Speak'n of cold.....it seems like every time old Billy Bob has to put on a jacket, he get the blues. Did ya know I have a 7 year old snow ball in my freezer. It used to be the size of a professional baseball, but now it's about the size of a pinto bean. How the hell can a snowball get out a plastic baggie??? What the hell a snowball got to do with the blues????

Well I want you lookie here. Went outside in the cold, jack them front wheels off the ground and start look'n . Holy crap.....now what wrong with this jack what keeps put'n the tire back on the ground? Anyhows, the steering binds at center travel....that ain't right....right??? Then I takes this steer'n rod loose, what falls right on top my head with a "thud"....not like a watermelon...I know someone gonna say that. Yep, steer'n wheel still binds center of travel. Got on the internet, what I very seldom do, to check price of a new steer'n box. Holy crap...$300. Then I find this forum bout fix'n jeeps...hot dog someone tell me what to do....adjust the box. Did that and no more bind. Road test still to come. If'n it stays in one lane, old Billy Bob done fix it.

Now.....someone explain to me how a snowball can evaporate and get out that "sealed" bag?
Turned out to be a perfect day. Bout 75 degs, no wind and beautiful body warm'n sunshine. Can't beat that with a stick!!!

Windy and not very warm

Well crap.....I were plan'n on do'n something today, but the winds have caused a major decision change. Don't take much for old Billy Bob to get out of work. This comes from years of experience.

Stayed in bed this morning 'cause it were warm in there under the covers and it were cold in "da house" (50 degs). I could run the furnace all night long what is a waste of energy to heat a space ya ain't in. The way I see it is, why heat the bathroom if ya ain't gonna sleep in it?

Boy howdy let me tell ya how cold it gonna be for the rest of the week. It gonna be in the upper 30's tonight and I want ya lookie here...thursday low of 34 with a high of 54.....brrrrrrrrr.

Back later.........................

There comes a time in every mans life that he has to break down and "do dishes". When ya ain't got no more clean forks in da drawer, it's time. Speak'n of do'n dishes, do ya know why women have smaller feet than men? It's like this, men with long feet can't get close enough to the sink, what causes a back strain, what causes hours of health giving relaxation in the easy chair. Now a woman, with her cute little petite feet can get right up there to the sink....no strain no pain and still have plenty energy left over to vacuum, take the trash out and start dinner. Men were poorly designed and meant to suffer all the days of their lives. Probably has something to do with that damn apple Eve gave to Adam.

Holy cows, did ya see that sunrise this morning. Ain't seen one like that in a long time...cool huh??

Set my alarm for 6am....yeah...golf game....and the damn thing didn't say "nuttin". Slept in till 6:20 when I jump out of bed think'n I was gonna be late for work. Weren't a thing wrong with the temp at 45 degs 'cause I knew by the time we got to the golf ball swak'n place, it would be in the 50's.

A few years back, one my sons give me this little .410 Snake Charmer for my birthday. It used to have a plastic stock on it, but when it broke, I broke out the table saw, impact wrench, some screwdrivers and built me a new one.
All it does is hang on the wall above the driver seat in "da house". Illegal???? Maybe by a few inches. Fun gun!!!



Just got back from the golf course and let me tell ya....old Billy Bob swak'n them balls for a mile. Struck me up a great score of 84. I be tickled pink...not "girlie" pink though. Poor old pesky neighbor Wayne don't "no nuttin" bout swak'n golf balls. Hits 'em like a girl. I can say that 'cause he'll never know I said it.

Here it is 1pm and it's hot outside.....bout 90 degs if'n ya stand'n in the sun. But ya know old Billy Bob ain't gonna be stand'n in the sun. Gonna take my lunch out on "da porch", sit in the shade and enjoy a beautiful day.
