Not Much Today

DSCF0005

There were some baby turtles on that rock, first time I had seen them.
DSCF0007
My Mountain Laurel starting to bloom, I’ve seen others that are bloomed out fully.  You can see the yellow irises behind it.  I have a huge old wisteria to the left but it hasn’t done anything yet.  I have seen some Martins last week, over in the next block, and then some here on the corner of my yard.  When my bro B and I put up their house, he was putting his tools back in his truck when 2 landed on the top.  They had been watching, lol.  They nested there, and have been back every year with their young.  They drive the sparrows off.  The house is falling apart, and the way it’s put up, can’t take it down.  I think they will still use it tho.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t go to sleep til after 4 last nite.  Well, one thing was my feet.  Burning.  Then my phone woke me up at 8;30.  Just might take a nap today, lol. 
I put facebook back on this, but  you know,,I just don’t see the use of it.  lololol.  I glance in every once in a while, but wth is it about?  I just don’t get it.  Peoples wanting to put me on friends,,,I don’t even know.  And why talk to family when we have phones?  lololol,,,And most of us live here.  I forget about it, but sometimes I look in.  I guess it’s the only way I can ever communicate with my g/dotter.  Never see her or hear from her…Hate it, what “family” has become.  “Family” has no meaning any more.  Well, just a few of us.
Been putting off that shower long enough,,yall tc, and
HAGD


PS,,put that weather thingy back on, thot the airport thingy was fixed, but guess not.  Just gonna leave it, someday,,,,,

Strange Happenings

Gosh, put all my warm lounge clothes in the washer, now i'm chilly.  Got a summertime one on,,,,and, i know,,i COULD get dressed, but,,why?  It's about 70 and cloudy.  After writing that, i got up and turned on some heat,,,hahahaha.

I'm so way behind today, slept til 9/30, after waking up at 7/30.  But,,so what?  lol.
When the lady brought my prescription, i remembered it was Wed.  I did walk yesterday, in that horrible wind.  It was still howling last nite when i went to bed.  March winds,,etc,,

G came by and we both thot we presented our side well, and,,we did our best.  With the AH mayor mouthing off the whole time, we are hoping the council members won't pay him any mind.  I know our friend doesn't,,,lol,,,she does NOT let him run over her.  He doesn't have a vote anyway, except to break a tie.

I made it out to the park yesterday, (my walk), and this girl got out to fish.  In a bit, she caught a good sized one,  couldn't tell what it was from where i was, but then, she did a strange thing.   She had it on the ground to take off the hook, and when she got that done, she laid that fish behind the rock she was sitting on, on the ground, and just left it!  I have never seen that done, ever!  It was about a foot long, and i could see it flop once in a while.  Really strange!  I think i'll ask her if i ever see her again,,lol.  I was there about 30 more minutes and she didn't catch anything else, TG!, but didn't do anything with that one either.  Don't know where those geese are hanging out, haven't seen them for a few days, and the little black ones were way down from me in the river.  I take my current book and read.  Just like being out of the house a bit during the day.  And what's better than nature?  Saw a strange bird, all black.  Need to start carrying my bird book too.  Been seeing lots of buzzards circling, they do that when they migrate.  They just kinda float around in circles by the river,,,,Red tailed hawks do it too.  By the hundreds.

Well, adios, amigos,,amigas. yall tc, and

Just Don't Know

Well, we did our thing last nite, but left it for discussion.  Can't really tell how it went. The gate owner was there, and gave his spiel about how long he had put up with the vandalism and trash, and just finally had enough.  Wouldn't even listen to other options we presented, soooo,,,who knows?  The mayor kept saying it wasn't a street, (how i don't know) when it's been used and maintained as the street that goes on way North of the gate.  So how could it just stop at that point?  Another thing i don't know.  It's on the city platt as a street going on down to the river.  Anyway, we did all we could without having to go legal, so we'll see.  We're losing all our rights, one by one.  There were quite a few supporters there, and gave their say.  Wish there had been lots more,,,

I took off my weather thingy.  Got tired of trying to look up and see how to fix it.  The tv weather was showing us this morning finally, but the gadget didn't work even after that.  So,,it's gone.  Might try to put another one on there, some time.

I got home about 7:30 last nite, so i caught the rest of the Voice.  I've liked it up til now, but i just don't like the way they eliminate them.  Don't do reruns, so,,,record more movies?,,,lol.

Had a call right after i got up from friend S, asking if tomorrow was our apt in Austin.  She thot the 7th, i thot the 17th, and we were both wrong,,,hahahaha,,it's the 27th.  And i have it right here on a sticky note!!  In my defense, it was sorta behind another one.  So, now we both know. lmao.  I'm still gonna get all the fill taken out.  So it will be my last trip.  woooohoooo....

Reading ol Jules today, talking about drug ingredients,,reminded me of a hormone so  so many women take made out of a pregnant mare's urine.  It's not estrogen, it's the other one, and for the life of me, i can't remember,,,it's usually prescribed with the estrogen.  Anybody know?,,Darn statin!  Think i'm gonna quit taking that too.  PREMARIN!!! Turned my head and ,,,,that's it.  Pre-mar-in.  Maybe it's best not to know.

Little Jude isn't gonna get canned cat food any more after this i have is gone.  He'll just have to make do with Iams,,or whatever he catches outside.  Half the time he doesn't eat it, sooo,,,no more.  He's  on the weight and hairball formula, not that it does any good.  I think it's just a marketing scheme.  He likes cat chow, or friskies better, so,,,,that just might be in the future.

Ok, enough boring you today,,yall tc, and

We Are Ready!

My bro G and i are ready for tonite.  Watch out, city council,,,lol.  Had our last meeting yesterday afternoon with the friend, and have everything set to go.

Thot you might like this as much as i did.

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.

Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse, so I had to learn to while away my time.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:

Dear Mrs. Harris,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least:

15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Nothing like a little humor for Monday!  Yall tc, and

Concerned with Google's new data sharing policy? There are ways to deflect it

Concerned with Google's new data sharing policy? There are ways to deflect it

This tells you how to set google chrome's privacy settings. I don't think i have anything to be concerned about, but gonna do it anyway. lol. Just,,,cause. Like those bloggers who require all your info just to make a comment,,,nope, won't do it.

I had asked my son and gf, if there was anything they needed at Walmart, and he had a couple of prescriptions to pick up, so,,,the first thing i do,, is go to pick them up, not knowing how long that can take. I finally get to the front of the line, and then i'm told there's not any!,,,huh? Supposed to be 2. Sooo,,i call him and he says,,already called and verified they ARE ready. Well WTH? I hand the phone over to the clerk and ok,,yep, they are ready,,,he didn't tell me he was using his first name, which he has never been called by! Have no idea why and forgot to ask him. When i'm checking out, i'm looking at my watch thinking I'M gonna be late, after telling gf Not to let him make them late. lololol,,,But, i made it and the tables were all set up, ready for about 15. Turns out, there were just 6 of us, the others had misunderstood and thot it was NEXT weekend. G/dotter had to work but wanted all of us to come by there for dessert, so we did. Just one ate it,,lololol. Had drinks tho. Was a great time. Got home about 10, soooo tired and ready for bed, then couldn't go to sleep. My 2 cups of coffee?,,,So i'm tired today.

Our friend on the city council and my bro G are coming here later to discuss plans for tomorrow nite. Sure gonna get a nap before then.

Gosh, after 11 and i haven't eaten breakfast yet,,,lololol. Guess those jalapeno chicken enchiladas lasted a long time. Sure were good too. I can't do hot, but those weren't.

Forgot,,gave my son the man purse, with a small billfold, told him i'd call it an utility bag,,,lol. I really think he will like it. He's the kind of person that nothing embarrasses, and with everything he carries, this is perfect. My nephew carries one, totally full of stuff,,,His gf said everybody in CA did,,she lived there for 27 or so years, but is back for good. Seeing those 2 together makes everyone happy. I had given up on him ever finding someone, but,,,love this one totally! So does everybody else.

Ok,,breakfast done, about nap time, so yall tc, and

HAGD

O yeah, just pass your pointer over the first part to go there.  And also, my weather thingy is broke, but it's the airport's thing down, where it gets it's info.  The tv doesn't show anything for here either.

DSCF0004

Yesterday was so darn busy, I missed some of your posts, even.  I made it out to the park just for a bit, and got these pics.  I hadn’t seen Hop a Long for sure, until then.  The geese aren’t there a lot now, don’t know what they’re up to. 

Got my yard mowed,,now I can see my rain gauge sticking in the ground,,,lololol,,the one that leaks,,,yeah,,,that’s the one.

Going over to Marble Falls today, later, short trip to Walmart, then my son’s birthday get-to-gather.  At a mexican food place.  Supposed to be about 15 people, and I know it will be a great time.  I need to ask him how old he is gonna be,,,hahahahaha,,,,Barely can keep up with mine.  One time I was a year off on that too.  lmao.  And not on purpose.  I DO know the year they were born, so I could do the math if I had to. 

Ok, outa here, just sitting here with nothing to write about, so,,,,,next time,,, yall tc, and
