Order of Nachos,,,With 3 Chips?

Gosh, i don't know how to tell anybody how to find that little gear thingy,,,i just click on design, and the page it goes to has it in the top right.  And what i'm hearing, not gonna last, but i'm gonna use it til i can't.  Then i might look into other options.  Sometimes i post from windows live photo,,maybe that will work.

About 5 pm yesterday i decided to go to HEB in Kingsland, and eat at the wonderful Mexican food place, so off i went.  Nachos sounded so good, and that's what i ordered, a 1/2 order.  I was in shock when it was brought,,,lmao,,it was 3 chips!!! loaded up with stuff, but,,,3???  I looked at it, and asked,,is this it?  The waiter then asked if i wanted a full order, which i said no,, cost a lot more, for 3 more chips?  Uh, no thx.  So, ok,,i scraped off almost all of the stuff, was too much, and ate the chips out of the basket with it, and actually ended up with a lot, eating it like that.  And they were really good.   Might just get them again,,,lolololol.

Got to HEB,  and wow, it was so busy, you could hardly go down any aisle.  I had thot the rush would be over by that time,,HA!  got worse.  Then checking out was a long wait in any line.  Didn't matter anyway, i wasn't in any hurry.  LOLOL,,,nearly got that way, cause i couldn't go to the restroom, they were cleaning them.  But i made it back home, got almost everything unloaded.  This was my  monthly trip.  It cost me 8.00 to go there, and i might save that much, but, there are things i can't find here,,like my liquid sweet and low, the charmin i like.  And coffee is so over priced here, i almost save 1/2.

I never made it out by the park yesterday so i don't know how it went for them,  heard Fri nite was free, and i didn't think there were many people there, so, with the overcharges for Sat, i wonder.  They fence off everything now!! and it cost you 10.00 just to get in, then the plates are 20.00.  I haven't talked to anybody that likes this situation.  Maybe they'll go broke,,hehehe.  Good ol CofC.  Used to be a fun and good thing, til they got involved.

Loved that little duck cartoon HJ had today,,,thx HJ!

New Blogger Interface???

Finally!!! found out how to set this back to the old interface.  It's a little gear looking thingy on the top right, says nothing.  If you click on it, there it is, a choice of old one.  Under the Overview tab.  Gosh,,,too early to do this.  That was AFTER i had sent off a comment about how much i hated the new one,,,hahahahah.

Talked to N this morning,,long time,,lol.  Her setting hen lost all her eggs, just a few days before they would have hatched.  No idea how.  There were just broken shells left in the nest.  The pen is too good for animals to get in, so maybe it was one of the other chickens.  She's gonna separate them next time.  She was laughing about putting seven dust on em, for mites and ants.  Just one didn't seem to mind.

Did i mention these horrible bites i've had on my legs from the knee down?  Well, 2.  Was getting a little concerned about one, but this morning it looks a bit better.  Itched like crazy, been using an itch cream for days.  Had to have been spider bites.  I changed all my bedding yesterday, down to the mattress, not because of that, just cause of time, so maybe that will help.

I really really need to go to that HEB today.  I did fill my car up, which i do when it's halfway down, and ran it thru the car wash.  That's been overhauled and works a lot better, but that spot free rinse doesn't work.  I have spots to prove it,,lololol.  The force of the water shook the car, so it cleaned lots better.  Don't much care about the body part, but when my windows get bad,,that's it!

Told You My Memory Leaves Me,,,Sometimes

I got into other things, and totally forgot i didn't post on here yesterday.  For one thing, i was on the phone about 30 minutes with my computer man, cause for 2 days i had snailnet.  Like slow dial up speed.  I had tried all the stuff he had told me before and it didn't help, so i called and he took me thru a lot more.  One was using speedtest.net and i had a horrible ping and speed.  We ended up deciding if it stayed, i would call verizon, had to be them.  Well, today i'm fine, guess they fixed their problem.

Aww heck, our thunder and rain is about gone, was just a speck.  Barely dripping off the roof.  But,,, that wind out of the NW is cold,,,,yeaaaaa... Getting heavy rain just S of here.

Also, yesterday morning, i went back into all that paperwork of my son's and got it in order, filled out as much as i could on that app for his medical help, and now, it's waiting on him to come by to finish up, then take it to Lampasas to be sure it's all right, and they will send it in.

Boy, that policeman that shot that man's dog is in double trouble!  To start with, he had gone to the wrong house (in Austin).  Had his gun drawn, then when the dog ran toward him, he shot.  No questions asked!!!  It's gone viral, you probably already heard about it.  You can go to www.statesman.com and get the story.

It sure is dark,,,still.  Just saw flash of lightening again.  Maybe that rain isn't gone.

I went out to the park yesterday ,,saw a city worker there and asked about the geese.  He said they were just a ways up the river, setting.  Like i had thot.  It's been about 4 weeks now, they should be showing back up, hopefully with little ones.  Son J told me they were out there 2 days ago, just after dark, and they saw some things swimming around all over the place, and these little things finally ended up just below where they were, and came out on the mud bank.  It was 12 baby beavers!  They didn't move a muscle, didn't have the camera in hand either, so they missed it.  I told him you just never know what you will see on this river.  Things that don't belong here, but they will be there.  I had always heard my Mom talk about swamp rabbits,,up in East TX, and one day, we saw one here in the river out W of town.  Ground squirrels,,(sooo cute), partridges, that hung around with the chickens, til something ate them, roosting on the ground.  One night when we were leaving the ranch, a black panther ran across in front of us,,a young one.  A hunter later told us they had shot at it, and my hubby sure put them straight on that!!  Leave it alone!! Or get off the property!  We had called a game warden, and he had told us it was just passing thru, going to a new territory.  Of course, we have the mountain lions, even a family out at my sis's place,,on the river, of course.

Getting a little more rain.  Won't ever be enough to measure, don't think.

Well, got my bed half stripped, need to get to that.  Will need it finished later...lol.  So yall tc, and

Car Fixed

The repair shop called me about 2;30, saying my car was ready to roll!!!  When they told me the bill was 211.00 for the new starter and the labor, i was sooo relieved.,,i thot it could have been 3-400.  Bro G took me up there to get it, and OMG,,there was his son there with his father in law's pu too.  The son has his OWN body shop, and has mechanics too.  He stays so swamped, couldn't even get to that one,,lololol.  And i know his prices are sky high,,lol but good for him.  He's the one that when you think about him, you have to grin.  Everybody does.  With him and my bro B telling about a trip they took, had us all rolling.  DO NOT go off with those 2! lmao.  You might laugh yourself to death....

This is just one story about bro B,,, and i'm still not sure whether it SHOULD be laughed at, but,,,who can help it?  There was a funeral for a 5 year old dotter of  a cousin's up in Sherman,,and somehow B ended up driving the car right behind the hearse.  He musta looked off, or was in la la land, and when he looked back, the hearse was gone, he had turned off and had the whole rest of the line behind him!  He wound on around, with all these other cars trailing along behind him like they thot he knew what he was doing, and lol and behold!! there went that hearse thru an intersection right up ahead.  He turned right in behind it like he'd done it all on purpose and the rest followed right along,,,,,somehow, they made it to the cemetery.  Now, you decide if that's funny,,,,i just can't help it.  Moral of this story,,DO NOT let B drive for a funeral procession.

Went and had that other test done for my potassium this morning.  The doc had said it was a little low the other day, and wanted another one in a couple of weeks, soo,,,it's done.  I think it's ok, when it's low i can tell, causes noooo energy.

My son's back is as bad as ever, that injection last week didn't help.  I'm waiting on him to come over so we can start on this paperwork for help, and i told him i would drive him to the place he needs to go with it.  We can fill out as much as possible, then they will help finish it.  It's just 50 miles.

That's all,,,yall tc, and

Car Gone, Hope It's at the Shop,,,

Finally tracked my bro G down, lol, he was helping at the food pantry.  I had called a repair shop this morning and was told they could fix my car today if i could get it there.  G said he and sil would tow it there for me, and i looked out about 11;30 and it's gone! lolol,,,didn't even know when they did it.  This shop is the one that always does my stickers, and won't overcharge me.  Not that i think it won't cost, with prices now.  No choice.

My guy came by and mowed today.  Not so bad this time.  Small chance of rain Fri., so it might not last long.

My first doodle bugs too.  See all the trails?  Trying to find the exact right place,,,There were 2, will be lots and lots more.

My car battery is definitely acting up.  Put a new one on in 10-11.  Was trying to remember but you know, maybe I think it was a year ago, and it might be 4,, Looked in my blogs,,,,and there it was,,,Oct. 2011.  That is so cool.  The record of my life.  Done almost daily.

DSCF0004

My son brought all his paperwork by, and then forgot to look at my battery,,,I backed my car into the carport, and popped the hood latch.  O well, haven’t needed it yet.  I am going to see if I can figure out where he needs to go for the medical help. 

MsB, I was always the one holding the camera, so I don’t think I have a single pic of me on my bike.  It was a small yamaha, street and trail, cause that’s what we did, rode trails, etc.  And no, I didn’t look like a biker chick,,lol.  People said I was crazy, gonna kill my kids,,,all kinds of stupid things back then.  I also had a 3 wheeler for a lot of years too.  Look back on 4-17-11 about some fun things,,BIKER MEETS WE HOSTED,,, Never did learn to wheelie either one!  and I tried.

Ok,,gonna git, make some phone calls,,do something,,lol,,yall tc, and

Forgot About These

 

These were taken last week, the procession that came from Austin, going to San Angelo, for the police officer’s funeral.  He was shot and killed answering a disturbance call in a Walmart.  All along the way, from there to the end, people lined up with flags, balloons, and just with their hands on their hearts, showing respect and honor.  Our town marquee had something on it and was shown on the news several times.  People were lined up here an hour and a half before it even got here.  I was listening on my scanner, so knew where it was, with the updates on location given every once in a while.

The park West of town had a group of BMW ppl, so I didn’t spend much time out there the last 2 days.  Next weekend is the crawfish thang, 1000s,,of ppl, so I’ll be staying away.  Sometime today I’m gonna drive out and see where that new arena is on being ready.  When I went by there yesterday, I don’t think anybody was even working,,soooooo,,, gonna be interesting. 

That’s all folks,,,yall tc, and
