holy cow

What is up with the gas prices? I put $100 diesel in my truck today and it is still not full!  $5 dollar gas is just a couple of months away and where is the outcry? I have not heard a word on the network news about this, only crap about the royal wedding. Who gives a rats-ass. Ok thats  my rant for the day. Friday and Saturday i helped the youngest son move down to Dilly, Texas. Ever heard of it? Me neither  until he was assigned there. Its near Laredo. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere.   Had to go to the coast friday and pick up his stuff, Come back here and spend the night and then head to Dilly saturday. Of course, his apartment  is on the second floor. But everything went smoothly. Only problem is, he still has a couch and a bunch of other stuff to get. Hopefully it will be a few weeks before he wants to move those items. Heading to Coopers BBQ in Llano tomorrow.. Can not wait  P.S.! i do not miss this

Gee, its great to be back home......or is it?

1:30 am last night im standing on my front steps talking to a county sheriff and a city policeman about the drunken little aholes next door. As a life-long drunkard nothing irritates me more than some punks who gets all loud and bad after a beer or two. It all started around 11pm with the slamming of their front door every few seconds. Then you could  hear them fighting or wrestling inside their trailer. Next thing you know, they are outside arguing.Thats when i went over and yelled at them to shut up. They all ran back inside. Then one comes out muttering something about someone was hitting him. At this point i decided im to old to be getting my ass whipped by a couple of young guys so i said, "to hell with them lets call the police". The cops were here within 3 minutes and quitened them down. Tonight im not waiting until 0130 im calling them at 10:01pm. Ok, lets talk baseball. My son, who know more about baseball  than anyone i know, has made his predictions so i thought i  would give it a try. Im just doing the national league because i dont know diddly about that other so-called league. Ok, NL west...San Fran repeats..NL central...the big red machine is back.NL east....braves...and NL wildcard.... Rockies...There it is carved in stone.. Now we will see who is the master and who is the student....

gee, its great to be back home


We made it! Escaped from California, of course, in the middle of a blizzard and then a deluge of biblical size. Once we got east of L.A. the skies cleared up the sun came out and it was smooth sailing from then on. We are back in our  hometown working at a rv park. Things have been real hectic but will eventually settle down. I hope, im too old to do hectic.As most of you know i  love baseball and im really trying to stay a Astro fan, but damn its hard to do. They were swept this weekend by the Phillies. Opening weekend and swept. Things can not get much worse, can they? Well i just ate 4 slices of pizza and now i need to veg awhile. Hope everyone is well. Gee, its great to be back home again!
