Got this recording from a reporter in Trumps trial

Lil’ SIL and Jack were having a propane tank installed today, so Jack could connect his whole house generator to it…you know, for all those power outages we have…She was here as she did not want to be around “the workmen” as she called them while they were, well working…so she was here, and we were up early…at least earlier than usual, which means a nap later.

The wife was up at 9:30, but I managed to stay undercover until 11; at which time, SIL still had not shown up. When she did, she did not  stay long..whatever.

I say just let ’em have it. After all, it’s just a money pit.

still waiting for those thunderstorms **yawn** nothing yet but a few sprinkles…looks like the thunderstorms have now been removed from the forecast…

I believe the girls are going to SA tomorrow for some shopping.

I may gird up my loins and head to the other big city to finish my own shopping…

Nah..

I guess I could mow…things have to be done first…

1. my trailer is behind the mower, and will have to be moved

2. I’ll have to pull out the truck, and connect the trailer to move it, so long as the trailer tire is not flat..

2b…if flat, ’twill require repairing. I think I have a set of plugs, and hopefully not off the rim..

3. Park trailer back on RV slab, after chopping down all the damned thistles that have grown

4. Are mower tires flat? if so, will have to air them up first..

5. provided the mower starts, then mow..

Nah..

 

Wednesday May 15

SIL and BIL left today, stating the reason as they were inundated with pollen, and had mucho sinus problemos…also, BIL left his Eliquis at home…

But the real reason is…they were bored.

I managed to get up and out just after 9 am today to go to the grocery store. I was going to swing by HD and get some Drain Maintainer, then the liquor store before buying groceries; but I left a little late so skipped HD. Then, to my horror, the liquor store parking lot was blocked off due to paving right where I wanted to be…that ended that shit.

Off to the grocery store where, they were paving too, but only half the parking lot…gracias a Diós..

A return trip is required at this time.

Cloudy today, after a high yesterday in high 90s. Supposedly will rain tomorrow.

And now this…

See? No deterrent for stealing folk’s mail. This has been going on for decades, as more and more thieves are admitted into the USPS Circle of Theft. What a great living! $25 an hour, and stealing money, checks, and other gifts from the mail…

And will someone please shoot deNiro?

And while you’re at it, shoot this motherfucker too.

Just to be sure.

Tuesday May 14

I was awakened today to see an email from Paypal, thanking me for my $685 purchase. Needless to say, I was up and outa bed like I was on fier. As it turned out, it was a phishing scam, which I forwarded to Paypal…and my bank account was not touched.

I also got a call from the Peterson machine group, wanting to schedule me for a CT scan next month, so I got that set up…the Peterson machine is what I call the local hospital system. It seems that the majority of doctors in the 25 mile radius are victims and slaves to the Peterson machine, who gets a piece of everybody’s pie.

The wife went to Lil SIL’s, where the beast awaits..I did not go, nor did I get any more shit from the wife. I will still ask the kid to lock the gate behind her tomorrow when she goes off to work early, keep out said beast.

My BP has been up since yesterday, and today, even higher. Likely because of the presence of you-know-who so close by.

Sunny and warm today. It’s 89° now at nearly 3:00, and will likely go up a couple more degrees.

The upcoming election in November, will be preceded by several attempts by demorats to continue tarnishing Donald Trump. Personally, I don’t see how the hell he’s gonna get out of the kangaroo court in the Big Rotten Apple, but the general consensus seems to think he’ll be exonerated; more or less.

I have an idea that will kill two birds at once

Put ’em all in the UN building, and kick out everyone who’s already there.

How I long for a simpler time

Illegal aliens…who wants ’em?

Now this is a clever prank

this is quite clever..

I keep tellin’ ya…public radio is not your friend

A few months ago, one of the nationally syndicated hosts on the local TPR, referred to folks in Israel as “Arabs”. She did not appear on the air for several months after that. I believe they’re smart enough to know the difference. I think it was an intentional slip.

Thunderstorms this morning, we are under a watch until 4 today. We had some rain, and definitely boomers late morning. It has left us with sticky, humid, warm afternoon.

The wife has improved by leaps and bounds.

Lil’ SIL has been after the wife to nail a time when the wife will go over there tomorrow. The wife said “not before noon”. That’s great. It’ll be nice a friggin’ hot in the afternoons now. I must be sure to have the kid lock the gate behind her when she goes to work tomorrow, so as to keep out “unwanted” visitors…which is why we put up a fence anyway.

I have been cleaning out my worthless press files of audio and images to make some room. I finally deleted enough to drop below 3 gig. Hence some of the pics I have posted are older.

Sunday May 12

The polls are now closed.

Thanks to all for voting in my little poll.

The results are in, and the results are

Go…3                            Stay home…6

It was tight for a while, but the stay at home voters blew by the rest. You may check the results in the comments, and add one “go” to that as one voter texted his vote.

It’s really funny, as of right now, SIL does not know what the hell she wants to do when she arrives; or what day. I do not care to be left in the dark hanging on the whims of a crazy woman.

Bad news from SIL’s daughter. She disappeared yesterday, and after all kinds of suppositions and maybes, it turned out that she was at a clinic, where she was told she had a intrauterine cyst. Missy is 50, obese, a diabetic, and a smoker. She has elected not to tell SIL or even Missy’s husband.

Another sad note about Lil’ SIL’s oldest son. Being a Navy vet, he went to the VA to see about getting some surgery on his knee, and collapsed. There was a “code blue”, and he was resuscitated. This is not the first time this has happened. The first time, he was in high school playing tennis, when the same happened. Nothing was done then. It seems to be extremely intermittent, making it difficult to diagnose.

He currently lives in the RGV where good medical care does not exist for US citizens, so Lil” SIL wants him to move in with them, and see a neurologist in San Antone.

Again, thanks to all for voting. I still may go, just to be an asshole to SIL and BIL at Lil SIL’s place where I can get away with it…still don’t know when that will be.

Saturday May 11

Lest we forget…

Cloudy today, and rain in the forecast for tomorrow. The current temp has already exceeded today’s forecast high…why the hell bother with the weather app? dunno

So, the wife and I have a “disagreement” about whether or not I should go over to Lil’ SIL’s while SIL and BIL are visiting.

I will take a vote from the readers on this issue.

Should I stay or should I go?

 

Friday May 10

The wife is better today…lots of rest certainly makes a difference.

The kid is off today, tomorrow, and Sunday. Yay for her.

I just completed a survey from my health insurance provider, where I ripped the healthcare providers that have been ‘treating’ me for said issue for the last 7 months. Since my phone is set up not to answer or ring for any received call not stored, every thing goes to voicemail…the response from this survey did as well. I refuse to store every ding dang number from the damned health insurance company or hospital machine to satisfy them..

Cloudy and cooler today. Yesterday we hit 99 degrees.

Don’t forget Mother’s Day guys…You’d be surprised how just a bouquet of flowers, can go a long way for cheering up moms, wives grandmas…
