Lunch and a movie with my Wife.

     Yesterday after the eye doctor me and the wife  went to lunch at Captain D's  and then the movie.  Now we enjoyed our selves till I pointed out  how pathetic we have become . It took a doctors visit to get us out of the house to eat lunch on senior day at a cheap restaurant  and go to the movies using free tickets my daughter gets using her movie pass membership.

      Ok my wife vision is back to 20/20 so she has to drive  you see I have  ONE major rule while in a vehicle . One person drives all others keep there mouth shut about it. My wife couldn't keep her mouth shut about my driving or yours ,  so I let her drive.

     Captain D's was normal but  2 meals and drinks for 10.98 made it almost good.  

     The movie we went to see was  "I Can Only Imagine "  if you haven't seen or heard about it here is its trailer .

    We have been doing dinner and a movie every week or so. Its a good reason to get out of the house and it doesn't cost that much. My daughter has a movie pass membership and she gets a ticket on Friday for a movie then turns it in for an advance ticket on say Wednesday then does it again on Sunday . We get 2 tickets to the movie for free. A movie pass membership is only 105$ year .That's the cost of 8 movie's. If you can find 2 decent movies a month to see it is a bargain.

My old truck isnt as dead as i thought.

      Yesterday I carried all the trash I had loaded on my old truck to the church dumpster across the road. It is emptied a 5 am EVERY TUESDAY. I have coffee at 5.15 on Tuesday morning because it wakes me up. After I got that load off the truck  I go back to the house and start grabbing more stuff to haul over to the dumpster. By the time I was done I could barely close the lids . Now a lot of the stuff was my son's trash from his old camper and scrap wood I had lying around .

         The old truck had a water leak and spent all winter with no water in it . Right before I got sick I had 4 freeze plugs replaced and one still dripped. I never got a chance to take it back and it has been so long asking him to fix it now would be wrong . Well I filled the radiator with water drove it to the gas station and put 5 dollars in the tank drove it back home . The temp gage hit 190 or so but that is its normal .  I saw no leaks under it. This morning I take the radiator cap off its still full. I drove it about 20 miles still not running hot  and no leaks. All I can think is when I filled it with water it had some rust that got stuck where the freeze plug leak was. I was going to seal it with liquid glass and copper shaving but with no leak It won't work. liquid glass

     

    Wow this is the only picture I have of my truck  and its 5 years old at least. After 12 months of not leaving the yard it now has a nice green and yellow tint to it. Next up it get washed and bleached when the sun is out.

Auto part people and yard work

   Sunday the temp climbed to 70 by 10 am . That seems like what it takes for me to quit having chills. I decided to clean up around here as it has been a year since I was able to do much.  Over the last month on warm days I have piddled with this and that but not really accomplishing much. What I wound up with was a bunch of unfinished projects. I felt froggy it was time to finish a few of those projects.

     First thing was a bunch of brush I had cut back in January needed burnt . So I got that started . Next was I needed to crank my riding mower . I had pulled the battery before Christmas and put it on a float charger so it wouldn't need to be replaced. Got it back in went and got a gallon of premium no alcohol gas 2.99 . I need to fill a 5 gallon can with that . The riding mower started right up first try. The grass wasn't high but decided to do a quick pass around the back yard.  Nothing, I forgot the deck belt broke last fall cutting leaves .                                                                                                                 It Sunday so its O'Rileys for the belt  it takes an A75 v belt.  I tell the kid A75 v belt  Gates mfg. He looks lost  I need the application to look it up he said. No its an A75 that's the part # son. Son let me talk to the manager . Over comes the manager he is my age I figure he is their go to guy WRONG !!!! He is as Dumb as the kid. A 3rd man comes over asks me to repeat what I wanted so for the 5th time I ask for  A75 gates belt . It an A groove 78 inch belt for a mower . Now this man finds me a 78 inch mower belt proper which is a woven belt for 38.99 .   HELL  NO !!!!   They break as fast as a cheap A belt . I leave there and go to auto zone . First counter person didn't even try because without make model and year he admitted he was useless . I can respect him for admitting it and finding me someone that could help. The man he passed me to knew what I was looking for said they didn't stock them but could order me one for12.99 be in Wednesday or I could try a 4L780  for 13.99 and he had them in stock .  A 4L is a little wider than an A belt but it seems to be working better than the A belt did less slippage. My normal store is NAPA. I worked at their warehouse back in the 80s  I pulled belts and hoses for 145 stores for 3 years .

      I finally get back home reload the brush burn pile spend a hour putting the belt on twice. I had it twisted and it jumped track first try. Keep feeding the fire cut the front yard . Raked leaves and trash up around the garage to add to the fire. 
      What won't burn that I want gone I load on to my old white truck . I jumped it off and moved it around to load  it and let it run to charge the battery but I  have to watch so it don't run hot. I worked from 10 am till 6pm but I wrapped up a lot of odds and ends. I was tired and sore but in a good normal way.

    

Congressman test

  An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time to
where the boy should give some thought to
choosing a profession. One day, while the boy was away at school, his
father decided to try an experiment.
He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
1. A Bible
2. A silver dollar
3. A bottle of whiskey
4. A Playboy magazine.

"I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself.
"When he comes
home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up and is interested in.
If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a
blessing that would be!
If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man and that
would be okay, too.
But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum,
and, Lord, what a shame that would be.
And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's going to be a
skirt-chasing womanizer."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he
entered the house
whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the
bed, and as he turned to leave
the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his
eyes, he walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his
arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He
uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, all the while admiring the
magazine's centerfold.

"Lord have mercy," the old preacher breathed to himself. "He's gonna
run for Congress."

Why are men ashamed of acting like men !

       I know this is old news but why are so many rich and famous men apologizing for misbehaving with and around women. Today me and the wife were watching some show that was bashing all the men that did actresses wrong .Then they started talking about Stormy Daniels and Trump   who cares ( I downloaded one of her movies she looks better dressed than naked).

     Most all these men  are powerful and rich .WHY should they be ashamed grab that ass squeeze that boob if she slaps you move on that's what men have always done . We take the slap we earned it , If we don't notice or act like we want a female that  pisses them off to so  we lose no matter what .

               MEN WILL BE MEN
               BOYS WILL BE BOYS
            GRIN AND SAY  YEA SO

                        WE LIKE  LONG HORN STEAK HOUSE

     TWO OF THESE MY WIFE SAVED JUST FOR ME.

    

    We should not stop being men   we rule always!!!!!

    Got to stop and go cook the boss dinner she's getting cranky .

Man meal the wife likes to.

      Today I decided to make a pot of large butter beans with  big piece's of hog jowl. Now all I got to do is make a pan of cornbread and a chunk of onion I will be set. My wife has been sampling all afternoon . when dinner time came I asked her how big a bowl did she want she responded she wasn't hungry.  I looked I bet she had sampled 2 large bowls already.

The New Death Wish movie.

    The New death wish movie is worth the time and money to go see IF you liked the original one . Bruce Willis made for a decent Paul Kersey . Surprisingly they kept pretty true to the original script. The liberties they did take worked . My daughter has a movie pass membership that gets her a free ticket a day if she wants . She got my ticket and I picked it up at the office of the theater .

Dividing projects

      I am no longer physically able to do big projects from start to finish like I want to. So I am looking around at stuff I want to get done before summer camping season gets here.  1 st up is clean out my old vending trailer and get it listed for sale. My son left it a pig sty even left peanuts in a 5 gallon pot and BBQ in the half pan in the oven. I spent today getting the bulk filth cleaned out . This project has been divided into 6 to 8 sections for easier  work . It will take me a week or more at 2 to 3 hours a day. It's hard not getting in there and slamming it out in a day or 2.

     It was a hard decision to sell the vending trailer but I have to be realistic I will never be able to go back to selling like I was . I will reset it for funnel cake or fried chicken with a shallow fryer I have in storage . The trailer will get a fresh coat of paint outside and be ready to go I plan on asking 6900 and taking any cash offer 5500 or better. I have 2 other trailers , One will be set up as a shaved Ice and hot dog unit and sold later . The last one is that 52 Yellowstone I bought last year. I may keep it incase I get a wild hair and decide to piddle with food vending later on.   These are what the trailers look like now. It is embarrassing that my son let the first one that made me a good living degrade to this. I gave him a chance !

       this is what it looked like when I let him have it. 

       This is what I have now and the inside is worst.

   This one will be painted and set up for shave ice and hot dogs            

 This is the one I plan on keeping. I will expand the back window for serving. Clean and polish the aluminum shell and do a little exterior fixing I think the retro look will make it a great vendor !!!  I am thinking  a Chili bowl with grilled cheese, a good hotdog or beef slider combo.

Over doing it.

      This Sunday we had a nice warm sunny day . I decided to try and get our mobile home's roof  rebuilt . Jason our renter helped me but he is scared of ladders/ heights, his shadow and Yelling . We did good, he climbed on the ladder and I didn't holler at him to much. It took about 5 hours to replace the busted rafters and metal roofing that was busted by the tree. The sheet metal we were able to get fairly straight and reused it. Jason has always tried to help around his place and at our house. While he does rent our trailer he is more like one of our kids. The main difference is we like him .But all the twisting and bending took its toll on my neck and shoulders. I broke down and took a pain pill before bed Sunday and Aleve 3 times Monday.

       My days of big projects are over  ! I may be able to do big project's but they will have to be broken into many smaller parts done over much longer time frames. Some things are just not within my ability any longer. It rained over an inch last nite and Jason said he had no leaks so it seems it was worth the pain . Now to fix the buckling in the wall . 

       All I did today was go pay my sons property taxes. He swore he had paid them before Christmas. The certified letter delivered Monday said he lied. 42$ is a small price to insure he don't have to move back here!!  If I had known it was due before jan1 it was just 17$. OK I better stop here I have a rant on  my Son going back to his worthless ways but don't want to type it .
