Good Ol Monday,,,Again

Got one door done Saturday.  Took 'til about 3, and i had some things i needed to do, so we were both glad to agree to do the other one next Saturday.  That will be the storm door.  I absolutely love my new one, with the windows on top.  Not sure what i'm going to put over them, but that's ok for now too.

 Hobo, i've found out i had rather pay by the hour.  It's higher paying by the job.  This is the same, but i'm paying by the job. lolol. Costing more.  But u know what, i'm sure not complaining, knowing what they had to go thru to make that door fit.  Maybe the storm door won't be too bad, since i had one put there way back.  The north wind hit it so hard a year or so ago, when i had company coming in thru it, it broke and even pulled out the closer thingy from the door jamb.  I'm having them put on a chain this time, to help with that.

Got out already and did a couple of errands, paid my utility bill.  It was down about 30.00 this month.

I'm really hating to keep reading that Texas might be in a drought 'til 2020.  Had enough!!!  Bro G told me yesterday that the reason our river has been lots higher was because they have made places quit pumping out above us, for private uses that don't comply with the drought conditions.

Gotta go to Austin tomorrow, but not leaving 'til around lunch time or so.  Apt is at 2:30.  Going with Sue.  She had her band loosened a few weeks ago, needs to check in.  I need mine tightened some.  I always enjoy the trips with them.  We're just going down there for that, and coming right back.  Yeaaaaa.  I  never have any reason for other stops, and it makes for a long trip when others do.  But,,i'm with them, won't complain.

Ok, time to do SOMETHING,,, eat for one thing,,not sure what.  Guess i'd better get up and look, see what i can find.

Best Bar in Texas

Tffnguy made me remember this,,,,talking about chickens in a pen.  This is honest to God the truth.  There was, heck, maybe still is, a bar in Austin, out there on Burnet Rd.  kept a chicken in a  pen, sitting on the bar.  On the bottom of that pen,,was a checkered pattern with numbers in them.  You could place ur bets and pay up, on any number on the bottom of that pen.  When the chicken pooped,,,that number won the pot.   The whole bar sat and watched,,,waited,,,hoped,,wished for that chicken to poop.  Then all the yells,,whooping and hollering.  Pen got cleaned out, started all over.  Made for a happy chicken.  Lots of food, lots of attention.

I barely made it to church at 11.  But,,,i did.  Very few people i knew.  Very very few oldies like me.  There at the beginning.  It was our 60th reunion.  Now folks,,, i was minus 5 when it started,,, hahahahaha.  Lots of memories in that little church where we all grew up.  Mom always got the prize for having the most kids there on Mother's Day.  Every year!  They had 3 of us, then later, decided to have 3 more.  In one 9 month period, our Mom, and the 3 oldest of us, had kids.  How's that for getting started on being ur own grandpa? lolololol..  Had a diabetic episode, and had to leave right after i ate lunch.  Had to get home to check it.,,,was 117, so it must have done a huge drop.  To be that after eating.  Didn't know if it had gone hi or lo,,,why i had to check it.  Was feeling weird.  Had snacked before i left, but then we didn't eat 'til about 1.  Sooo sad,,,i missed all those desserts!!! hahahahaha

Short Saturday

LOVE these temps!,,,Had to turn on a little heat this morning.  Without that darn AC running in this room, it's sooo quiet too.  The fan runs all the time, but it was a freebie, so i'm not gonna complain, but when i have to get another one, u can bet ur bottom dollar it will be one that cuts off when it's not cooling.

Got the 2 men working at the front, lol, hear them discussing the problems with making a new door fit into an old house.  That's why my bro B didn't want to do it.  These 2 put the door on here in the back, and had the same problem.  Glad they have patience. 

Heard a structure fire call about the time they showed up, on the street a block East of me, was in a bathroom in a trailer house.  Guess it didn't get out of control, which is amazing, because i never saw any smoke or anything. 

Took a while to get to sleep last nite, but then i did sleep good. 

Forgot about this, lololo.  Got off doing other things.

Stormy Weather,,,,,

Just a note today.  Was awake all nite, would get up, read a while, go back to bed, and do it all over again.  It was around 5:30 i finally went to sleep, then woke up about 8 and got up, sooo,,,guess what i'm gonna do?,,,Going back to bed.

With all the racket last nite, i thot we had a good rain,,But like DD, maybe a 1/4".  When it all first started the lightening started a small grass fire just below the bridge, but they had it out quick.  My power blinked once, but that's all.  AND, i did remember to check my coffee pot!!!,,,Can't have that clock messed up. lololol.  And my VCR kept on recording.  I have found out that if i miss a tv show, like last week, i can watch the entire thing the next day online.  AND, without all the commercials, maybe just one.  So with that knowledge i didn't get overly excited about the VCR.  lollolol,,,

Little Jude,,just don't know about him.  He was acting like he had never heard a storm before!!  He was kinda hiding,  like, under the table, and never did come and get on my lap.  He did go out about 10, very cautiously, but around 3 i heard him wanting back in, and he acted like he was starving ,,,Guess he'd been so upset over all the noise, he didn't ever eat.  When siamese get upset, the hair on their tails will stand straight out, and it looks like a bottle brush. lololol.  Well, not just their tails.

Been researching scanner radios.  The police dept here is fixing to change over to narrow band digital and i needed to find out what all that meant.  My older ones won't be able to pick up the frequencies, but i can still buy the ones like i'll need for around a 100.00.  It's not like the trunk system.  I do have 2 that will work.  I have picked them up at garage sales over the years, so it's not like i have a big investment.  Have had 2 stolen out of my car, so the one in there is fairly new.  New enough.  Used to carry one in the car, because i was drinking and driving, wanted to know where the cops were.  That hasn't been neccessary for a lot of years but i still like one in there.  Got up one day and just could NOT down another beer.  Drank rum a couple of years, but then same thing happened.  SOOOO,,,no drinking,,,no smoking,,,no,,,,uh,,,umm,,,fun?,, anymore, but what a good time i had!! hahahahaha.Can't throw washers any more, tho.  There's a really good R&R band playing out at the lake, that i love, but, i just can't make it past 10!!!

I called the man that's gonna replace my front doors, and he is gonna let me know if he can do it tomorrow.  I'm in no hurry, had to wait 'til i could do without the AC.

Eyes closing,,,gonna go back to bed.  Yall HAGD

New Neighbors,,,Everywhere

Had to take a shower after visiting BB,,,,hahahahaha,,,and i didn't even get any fish!

Gosh, where has the time gone today?,,,what have i done?,,,(besides the shower) ,,,did do some investigating on my laptop memory here, ran the test, found out it's fine.  That took a few, and i ate lunch,,,, that took a few,,,watched the rest of X Factor i had to record last nite,,,that took a few,,,spied on my new neighbors,,,that took a few,,,told my sis i thot it was a 1/2 way house,,those 3 people just don't match up,,,got 3 vehicles too.  I'm NOT going over and introduce myself, i MIGHT NOT want to know them.  I nearly did that with one that bought the place catercorner from me, and TG! i didn't,,,figured out who it was, and sure didn't want to have anything to do with her.  So,,i'm using caution.  They are quiet,,major point,, no kids,,major point #2,,and i THINK there might be a little dog, but if so, it's so quiet i haven't even heard it, seen it once being walked on a leash.  Major point #3.  Hey Jude is ok with them, he's the same ol, same ol.  Not running and hiding anyway.  I kinda trust his judgement.  hahahaha,,,don't know why he runs and hides when sis or son come by.  lmaoooo.

OOO mercy!,,,what a day. 

Tried to eat leftovers, yuk,,got the rest of the canned potato soup down, but that frozen dinner,,meat loaf thang,,got trashed.  I'm outa that good potato salad,,guess i'll stop by the store later.  It's really good, and goes with everything.  It's a shame i don't cook any more, cause i did make the best potato salad, and,,,the best meat loaf ever.  I eat so little now, and i can't stay up on my feet very long, so it's just not to my advantage to do my own cooking.  In other words,,,AIN'T GONNA!!!  lol,,Told my second hubby i didn't cook, he said he didn't care. lololol. And he never did.

Have i named this yet?,,better look n see.  Nope, but now it's there.

I'm My Own Grandpa

Thot yall might like this, and have probably seen it before. Sounds kinda like my my family,,,,lololol

　

I’m My Own Grandpa

Many many years ago when I was 23

I got married to a widow who was pretty as can be

This widow had a grown up daughter

Who had hair of red

My father fell in love with her

And soon they were wed

This made my dad my son in law

And changed my very life

My daughter was my mother

For she was my father’s wife

To complicate the matters worse

Although it brought me joy

I soon became the father

Of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became

A brother in law to dad

And so became my uncle

Then that also made him brother

To the widow’s grown up daughter

Who, of course, was my step mother

Father’s wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run

And he became my grandson

For he was my daughter’s son

My wife is now my mother’s mother

And it makes me blue

Because although she is my wife

She’s my grandmother too

If my wife is my grandmother

Then I am her grandchild

And every time I think of it

It simply drives me wild

For now I have become

The strangest case you ever saw

As the husband of my grandmother

I AM MY OWN GRANDPA!!!!

Still playing around with this, soo,,,
HAGD again,,,

Will I Be Able to Post,,,,Or Not?

This is a test.

Ok guess i got my problem fixed.  Was getting:  Input error, values null for form restoration.  Anybody know what that is?,,,I sure didn't, had to google it.   Found out it has to do with cookies, and i'm really not sure how i fixed it, but,,,it is.

To all u bloggers i follow, i couldn't comment to u, and that's when i got into all this.  Couldn't even comment on my own.

DON"T eat any cantaloupes!!! Deadly.  Another person has died now.  I nearly bought one last week, but TG i didn't.  Then today, a ground beef recall.  What is safe?  Guess my spaghetti frozen dinner was, not sick yet.

N just came by, so had to postpone a bit. 

Gonna put this out,,,go see if i can post to some of ya i tried to, earlier.

Might get back, but,,,if not, HAGD

Did make it back, at least for a bit,,,,

Ol Jules sure writes up some good blogs, yall.  He's over there,,under So Far From Heaven.  His title,,Cat Houses, had me jumping over there couple of days ago.  LOLOLOL,,,he was talking houses for his cats.  hahahahaha,,,And that So far from heaven,,,not true, he's in God's country over there.  Can't be that far off.

Saw where OFM is back In God's country too.  On the South Llano river, over at Junction.  That's one of the head waters that gets here, combined with the North fork of it.  South is the one with the springs.  He sure has a great picture of the milkweed with a butterfly on it.  That weed is ready!!  Bring em on.

I keep putting off getting out there and cleaning out my water container, got green stuff all in it.  Need to get that done before the rain later, ha ha.  I don't have any bleach, found my big jug, that had leaked and crystallized, and empty now.  Forgot to put it on my list, so, no bleach.  Like,,no velveeta for queso,,wasn't on my list.  Got the darn chips,,but,,,now, no queso.  You'd think my brain would connect the dots, wouldn't ya?,,,welllll,,,I reread my list twice, to be sure i had everything,,,and i did.  So,,,No cheese, no bleach,,,let's see,,,do i have em on a new list?,,,,better check right now!  On there NOW.

Ok temp's just 100, maybe i won't die from heat stroke,,,gonna go wash out that big pan. 

Yall TC, have another good day.
