Remains

 

I guess they’re finding something on that fish skeleton.  That’s the one the girl left laying.

Guess it’s gonna be kinda hot today, with that sun out.

Found out late yesterday, there was another get together for my son’s birthday,,catching the ones that had misunderstood the date.  Went to a mexican food restaurant in Kingsland, and it was soooo good.  There were 12 of us,,and in that small place it was a lot!  Lots of people waiting to get tables.  Someone had called ahead so they had ours ready,,,sorta,,lol,,had to add another one, which a couple nearby was so kind as to move and let us have that one.  Tried to buy them drinks, but  they already had their tea and water.  Son still had the folder full of pics I had taken the last time, showing them.  He’s going to put them all into his puter.  I ordered a chili relleno*  plate and it was out of this world!  And all I could get down was just a small bit.  Have the rest to eat on today,,,yeaaaa.  This place is more authentic than most.  Their fajitas looked fabulous, especially the shrimp ones.  Cooked with lots of onion.  Yummmm.  Everybody hungry?  Know where I’M going when I want mexican food.  Got back by 8 and watched a movie.  Did I tell yall I watched one on Fri, and it ended before 10, and I was letting the tape run,,wellll,,,I got into Seabiscuit and had to watch the whole thing!  A great movie.

I hate this time change right now.  I just ate breakfast and it’s 1:25.  Not good.  Haven’t even done dishes yet.  Let alone get dressed. 

Spent too much time trying to sign up to pay my Atmos bill by draft.  After all of that, it told me I had to call tomorrow!!!  Used to do online banking but then the bank started charging for it,,so bye bye.  I have free checking  now, and when my son asked, I told him my bank.   No bank charges at all, and no minimum balance.  Moved from the bank I had done business with all my life cause of that. 

His gf found a job with the school system last week, and will be starting on the 19th.  She works with disabled, mentally, and is super at it.  I could  never have done that.  Now, working with seniors was my thing.  Loved it.  They have lived twin lives, she in CA, him here, and never knew it.  Done the same things, like the same things,,,it’s amazing.  She was born here, and was his gf in the 5th grade,,,lolololol.  She left when she was 15, and they had never seen each other, nor talked from that time, til she came back.  I hear wedding bells,,,lolololol.  We all love her tooooo. 

Guess I’m gonna see what I can get done before the DAY is gone.  So yall tc, and

Ruined!

Wooohooo, my weather thang a ma jig started working,,last nite..

Heard a truck pull in next door about 9 am,,, turned out it was bringing a metal storage shed to him.  )(*&*Y^#!$$%$  Put it where all i see when i look out is THAT!!!  Really pisses me off!  And to be fair, it's the perfect place from his point of view, but,,,mercy.  Sure not what i want to see when i look out.  I never saw his house, just the view behind it on up the hill.  If i sit in the other room at the desk top, i can see great, including his house AND ALL.  Just might have to do that.  It's cold in there, or hot, depending on the season,,,

The day after i had seen that girl with the fish, when i went out there, there was a hawk and a buzzard there with it.  Before i could get the camera out and up, they flew off.  The next day, there were 3 or 4 buzzards, still eating on the carcass.  Got that, but not going out to the car to get my camera, but will post it later.

I just glanced over by the stuff on my table and saw my utility bill,,,NOT PAID!  I've never paid one late.  OMG...  Looked, and it is due by the 15th, not the 10th, like it used to be.  It somehow got behind some other stuff,  and moving one, made it visable!  lolololol.  In all my life, i've never paid bills late.  Don't want that kind of a first. lolol.  The check is dated the 3rd.

I changed 2 clocks already,,,one in the bedroom, the other on my coffee pot..with the coffee pot the MOST important.  Got up yesterday and had an empty pot,,guess i forgot,,,lol, to push that button.  How i can do that, i don't know, but,,,i can.

Time to go play, yall tc, and

Llano County Journal - Council discusses closing of Salem Street

Llano County Journal - Council discusses closing of Salem Street 

Looks like we made the front page,,,,lololol.  Got em all stirred up,,,hehehe, just what we wanted.  Now we'll see what happens.  That pompous mayor needs to GO.  He kept speaking over others, trying to defend his earlier actions.  We need to find something legal on this, so if anybody has a way to do this, let me know.  We found a lot but need all we can get.

Tffnguy, i won't comment on your blogs cause of the double word thang.  Can't read em, and you have to keep going back over and over, so ,,,,i just comment here.  To change that, go here:,,design, settings, comments, down to word verification, say no.  Keep us up to date on your cabin.

To share that article at the top, it put me on IE, so i'm hoping for the best.

On the tv weather, it's still not showing us, so,,,,not fixed yet out at the airport.  Some day,,,,,,

BB talking about fried chicken, and i'm seeing a commercial showing some deeelicious fried chicken,,,making me hungry.  If i could get some like that,,,  Our new place is so so.  Sometimes it's ,,uh,,ok, then others, not.  Makes me not wanna ever get any of it. 

Gosh, it's pouring down,,,woooohoooo.  Sitting here by my back storm door,,looking out.  Love it.  Cold or not. lol.

Might get back here later.  Yall tc, and

Not Much Today

There were some baby turtles on that rock, first time I had seen them.

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

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
