Just got in my car and went to visit G up at his country place. 71 miles W of here. Close to Menard, all rocks. Just got back, and i'm tired from driving mostly. Got to watch him helping a neighbor and another man doing something i should have filmed with my flip, but,,,it was back at Gs cabin in the car. There was this huge thingy,,air compressor?,,weighed about a 1000 lbs, and had to be moved about 15 feet over to a 4-5 ft fence so it could be lifted over. Yeah,,,that's what i thot. They're crazy! No doubt about it. Well, this neighbor had this huge front end loader and twixt the pipes under it, the plywood, the chains hooked to the hook on top, and 2 pushing and shoving to keep it kinda going straight,,,it finally got to the fence. One time it went off the wood, and started burying itself in the ground,,so HALT!!! Lots more shoving pipes to roll on,,plywood ahead,,,and lots more pushing and shoving,,,it got to the fence.
THEN,,,They hook one little chain thru that hook on top and the other man lifts it up and over the fence!!!,,, Even G got back, but that one man didn't... They put it in a short bed pickup,,,lol, crossways,,wouldn't fit any other way,,,not all the way crossways either, not long ways,,mix in between. Had that little truck almost off the ground in front.... He was hauling that thing about 300 miles. I told him when he went up a hill, it would go right out behind him,,,he said,,nah,,it was sitting good... That's when you shut yor mouth,,, No tie downs,,,just sitting there. Why o why didn't i have my flip with me?,,,
Now,,,what's for supper tonite?,,,
Didn't want yall to think i died or anything,,,so yall tc, and
HAGD,,,what's left of it

Over the Hump Again,,,,,,,,,
If anybody tries my meatloaf recipe,,please let me know if you like it.
I told you i got that cook book when i was 17. Here's the rest of the story.
Back when i was in high school, for some ungodly reason, kids started getting married. Yep,,that's what i said. You could go over the border into OK and no questions asked, any age, any time. After several had done that,,my bf and i decided to do it too. I was 16, he had just turned 17. It was,,and OMG,, July 19,, I had spent a week in Austin with a friend and her sister, he worked there, and when they left to come here on Friday, we left and went to OK,,,got there about 2 AM, and you won't believe this,,,but,,a man was on a hammock in his yard, with a big sign,,saying Marriage Info!!! He took us to the hospital for the blood tests, and when the court house opened at 8 that morning, he took us there and we got married. Drove straight back here, and no one had missed us, and we didn't tell til the following Jan. Was something about his mom getting a SS check for him til he was 18. Well, i went back to school, and to make a long story short, we told everybody in Jan,,,found out i was pregnant in Feb,,and graduated in May. But,,, i got that cook book at my shower.
We were married for over 26 years, raised our kids, and ended it. I married one other time,,for 2 1/2 years. There were about a dozen girls that did that, and most of them lasted like i did.. I might have been the only one that finished school.
How's that for boring. Guess in my subconscious,,,that date brought it up. Numbers have always stuck in my mind.
My son J called last nite, and i had gotten up and gone to the bathroom, or i wouldn't have heard the cell phone. Trying not to laugh today about it,,but he said his dad had had a melt down,,,thrown out all the cats, and called him several times to tell him about it...when he finally saw that he had called, he found out and went there. Said he couldn't find any of them. There's a pet door into his utility room, so i told him they would go back later, they were hiding then. And his dad would get over it by this morning...Haven't heard any more,,wondering now...lololoololol. And he did tell me his back felt better than it had in weeks. (I didn't blame him for throwing all those cats out,,,lol). All but 2 are Js rescue cats. He's had them fixed, takes excellent care of them, but,,,there's too many. About a dozen. Not all are kept in the house all the time, tho.

A $15.00 Kirby?
The flies are GONE!!! From one day to the next,,NONE. What is going on? Never ever saw something like this before, and i'm old...well, sorta,,,lol. Nothing changed, it's still raining every day. This is JULY!!! But my point is,,it wasn't the rain.
OK,,before i forget it again. I read on a blog about a vacuum cleaner being bought for a steal, but i can beat that. I went by a yard sale one day, not far from my house, but i was heading home from work, so i didn't stop. Had to get back out later, and it was still going on, so ,,, i stopped and there were a lot of good things, BUT here sat a Kirby vacuum with ALL the attachments, marked $15.00!!!!! The man said yeah, it ran, so i bought it, thinking i would give it to my dotter. OMG,,,that thing sucked up stuff like i had never seen! I had just bought one of the cheapies at Walmart, so guess what?,,My dotter got that one, and i kept the Kirby. I called the company, since i didn't know what all those attachments were for, o yeah, it even shampooed too, and they mailed me the book for nothing. Wow,,, It did everything! Now, you gotta understand,,this is the Cadillac of vacs. I bought a roller brush for it, and used it for quite a while.
One day,,,i plugged it in, and it started smoking like it was on fire. My bro G went to Austin all the time, and the dealership for Kirby's was right across the street from where he would go. So, he took it there, and they called me,,just needed a new cord, wasn't the motor or anything. When i told him what i had paid for it, and all that came with it,,he said,,Lady, you just set the record!,,He had heard of someone getting one once, for a 100.00, but 15.00???? No way... I had 1600.00 worth of Kirby!!!! I tole him that man that sold it, either hated the woman that bought it, or hated the machine...lolololol. So i think i got the steal of the century,,don't you? hahahahaha Shampoos great, too.
My mower man is here, and i bet it is still wet. It's gotten almost out of hand, so much rain. Still saying more could come too.
My cousin from Paris, Tx brought a huge load of hay, 20 rolls, here, yesterday. He can sell it a lot cheaper than what the ranchers are paying here. They make lots of hay up there. His mother was my favorite aunt that just passed away.
About 9;15 last nite, another house was on fire in Kingsland.... And B told me that ol boy that had gone to prison for arson, was out, and living around that area. Surely surely they're watching him. I bet everybody is on their toes, watching. I hear calls about suspicious vehicles a lot more.
Well, i ate all my meat loaf, have nothing cooked now. I was gonna put part of it in the freezer, but it was so good, i finished it off. The bean soup too. Still have lots of home grown tomatoes,,
Ok outa here, yall tc, and

O yeah, need to correct something i said a few days ago. I said i used live photo to do blogs when i have pics, but,,,not true, i use live writer. These are Windows Live package. Use the photo to upload the pics, then writer transfers them really easy, lets me set them in an album, or individual.

What's Happening?
Good morning yall. I did remember this today. Got side tracked once,,looking at a swap shop on facebook for this area. Didn't see anything for me,,need to put some of my stuff on there. Got lots of 'stuff' i need to get rid of.
Saw on the news this morning,,that a place in Kingsland that burned, was arson.. It was the Kingsland Health Clinic, and i'm not sure where or what that is. BUT, yesterday, there was a call for a house fire there, fully engulfed, and before they could get there and do much, the one next to it caught on fire too. WAIT, that's not all!! They call in for help from 3 surrounding places, and before any of them can get there, there's ANOTHER fire, behind a lube place. In this area, the fire depts are volunteer, but they all jump when needed. Had 4 different ones working those 3 fires yesterday.
Years ago, we had a string of arson fires, and when the culprit was finally caught, it was the fire chief's son. He went to prison over it, got out, got in more trouble, went back.
This sure sounds like there's an arsonist doing it,,too many,,,all at one time. Hmmm,,,wonder if that ol boy is out of prison yet?,,,
I'm still carrying my car plates around,,,lol. Can't forget those,,,they're laying on my car seat. With the sticker too. Years ago, before that sticker went on the inside of the windshield,,,they stuck on the back license plate. Mine was stolen one time,,how i ever noticed i don't know, but i did. So,,when i replaced it, and from then on, i cut an X across it. Let em try to take that off and stick it on another one,,,lol.
Got stopped one time, not doing anything, and the dps guy told me my front plate was gone. I told him it had been there not long before when i had washed the car, and i'm sure he didn't believe me, but that was the truth. When i got home later and looked the screws were still there. Whoever took it, took the time and put the screws back!
Ok,,mind's gone numb,,yall tc, and

Hitchitch
Really on the ball today,,,read all the blogs and forgot to do mine! Not much wrong with me,,,i did remember to come back,,lol.
BB was talking about how we do our blogs. I do mine on blogger, never do it to cut and paste. On word or anything. When i have pics i do it on live photo, but it publishes when i get thru, no cut and paste either. If i want to add to it later, i can. I don't do a bit here, a bit there, then wait and publish the next day. But,,i do try to use spell check,,,lolololol.
Sure am getting what most of you call the 'hitchitch',,,tired of same ol same ol... Our summer hasn't been bad this year, lots of rain, still green, and cooler temps. I can't believe the lake levels haven't changed. Well, Buchanan any way.
Got another one of those bites on my leg, behind my knee on the same leg,,,This is so strange. Not even sure if it's a bite, but,,it itches like crazy for days. Seems like it spreads. After effect of shingles?,,,who knows,,had those too. Horrible thangs,,worst pain i ever had. Just below my waist on the left side, couldn't stand to be touched ,,,even clothes. Lived on vicodin for days. Would wake up during the nite when they were wearing off, walk the floor with tears running down my face, til i could take another one. I had one pair of sweats i could wear, hanging low so's not to touch me. Hope none of you ever have them!!! When i drove, i had to sit up away from the back of the seat.
I've been watching these ol Andy Griffith shows. On most of the day again. The good one, with Barney Fife.

Our Lucky Day,,,
Yeah,,Friday the 13th,, why not? That's how i'm gonna look at it,, (let you know tomorrow,,).
I have no plans,,of course. I can always handle spur of the moment. My favorite grandfather,,lived here the last 6 years of his life, from 80 to 86,,his age,,not the year..lol. Totally independent. I would go by and ask,,do you need to go to the store or anywhere?,,and he just picked up his hat, put it on and out the door we went. I think i've mentioned this before, but most of the time, he wanted to go to the liquor store,,and why not? He would get his bottle, and the next time,,he'd say,,go to the other one...hahahahaha,,he didn't want them to know how much he drank. I never saw him tipsy. He went with me one time,,,up to Goldthwaite?,, about 60 miles North, and never said a word about my driving, but later told Mom the fence posts looked like a picket fence...lololololol.
I so enjoyed him. He would give my son J,,born the day he moved here, a paint brush and a coffee can of water, and tell him he could paint the porch.. J loved it. He'd paint and paint,,go back and start over when it dried. Kept him out of a lot of trouble. He died of liver cancer, in just a few months, later. When he said he wanted his pistol, i wanted to go get it for him. A man like him,,totally bedridden, having to be waited on by Mother, his dotter. She was a nurse, but still. She had him at home as long as possible, so he wasn't in the nursing home but just about 3 weeks. I went by almost every day, with J and by then, my new one.
Welllll,,, i've looked at tv for tonite,,NOTHING. Not even any movies to record today. Good thing i have several done. My life is so boring. Not even cooking today, have leftovers, good ones,,
Can't sit on the porch, like BB,,,too darned hot. Just thot about it,,,HEY DD!!! How much rain have you had? You didn't even mention it. I got just a bit more after pouring out 4 3/4", not even a 1/4".
Ok,,enough of this, yall tc, and
