blabbity-blabbity-bleep-bleep

So there I was, babbling away about nothing! I must be getting addicted to this keyboard.

Spring is certainly taking its own sweet time getting started. I'm tired of freezing my ass off. I want 80 or better, and I want it NOW!!! The weather report from the San Joaquin valley is: wretched, miserable, cold.

I am now also hopelessly addicted to Trish Thuy Trang. I can't help it. I've downloaded over 60 of her songs now. They dominate my Limewire space. At least this is a harmless addiction..... I think.....

My daughter has passed on buying my mother's car. She is economically disinclined. After thinking it over, I must agree. If they were in the same town, or even the same state, it would be feasible. I'll bet that car isn't on the market more than a week before it is snapped up by some lucky and probably undeserving dork.

The NFL is in terrible shape. Guys are dying, getting arrested, getting convicted. The rest of us should be glad that these thugs are in the NFL. If turned loose on normal society, it could be chaotic. It is hard to understand how a bunch of lucky s.o.b. s can screw up their lives so completely. It can't be the money. Most of them are millionaires. Maybe they are just rich, rich thugs in semi-captivity. Oh, the injustice!! I'll guarantee, if I had that kind of money, the furtherest thing from my mind would be hanging out with a herd of gangsters. I can think of herds of other things, attired in bikinis, on a warm beach, with beer and shrimp cocktails to hang out with.

As baseball season approaches, once again the media are on Barry Bonds tail. Hey, you dumb asses, hop off. He has escaped. He has outwitted and out lawyered you. Get over it.

Fishing has become a big money sport. We used to do it for fun and to harvest some fillets. Now, good bassboats are going for 40 grand. I guess the good old days are dead, dead, dead. If I get moblie again, I might get another boat, but you can bet it won't cost 40 large, or even 10 large.

My computer has been making strange noises at intermittant intervals. It may be about to give up. I hope it doesn't 'cause I ain't got the bucks for another one that will outperform it. C'mon lottery!!

I have finally run out of wind. Thank God.

And so it goes.

The beat goes on

I can't believe I'm writing another blog entry. I must be infected with some sort of horrible blabber-mouth virus, contracted, no doubt, from some female. Oh well, I guess I may as well press on.

I see that the most wretched woman in the United States is running for the democratic nomination for president. It is hard to believe that the American people would be stupid enough to even remotely consider this miserable bitch for anything in the public realm. However, I remember they elected her husband, the most immoral man to ever live in the White House twice. And, the people of New York, never known for political astuteness, elected her senator along with another real pile of trash, Charlie Schumer. God, I hate politics. I hate politicians. Our judiciary sucks. We are headed for some really tough times. Damn, now I'm depressed.

My daughter is trying to buy my mother's car. It is a hell of a deal. I hope she is successful. It is well past the time when mother should have gotten rid of it. I am happy she has decided to sell it.

The weather here is still cold. Temperatures have been rising into the mid sixties. Spring is coming, but it ain't sprung yet. As I write this, it is 37 degrees outside. booo....Another bad weather rating.

We are plodding on toward our moving date. What is that date, you say? Well, we don't know. We seem to be progressing with all the velocity of a snail on crutches. I am having as hard time trying to motivate dear wifey. This was her idea, one of the few good ones she's ever had. Am I fearful that she'll read this and exact some form of female punishment upon me? NO!! She does not compute.

Speaking of my rib, she has already started her garden. She does this every year as soon as she is confident that there will be no more frost. It seems to work for her. She grows some great garden stuff.

The sun is now attempting to peek over the mountains to the east. That means it'll be warmer soon. I said warmer, not warm. The high today is supposed to be 67. We just can't seem to make it to 70.

Weekends are now sad remnants of what they were just a month ago. Football season is gone. Rats!! Now we must wait until preseason in August. Baseball is coming soon, but it just doesn't have the impact of football. I haven't been much of a baseball fan since the strike that wiped out the world series many years ago.
Tiger still stalks the fairways spreading terror in the ranks of the pretenders. This guy is like superman. Any tournament her enters makes him the automatic favorite. I'm not a golfer, but I'll watch him all day long. He brings an excellence and majesty to the game that is so lacking in other sports.

Well, I've babbled on long enough. Time to worship Trish. Y'all have fun now, heah?

yup, yup

The Colts have prevailed in the annual classic. It was bound to happen one of these years. It's too bad it was against the Bears instead of the Cowboys. I am happy anyime maximum pain is being exacted on Jerry Jones. Does that sound mean and vindictive? GOOD!!! T.O. and Jerry deserve each other. Sadly, football season has now come to an end. I discovered this fact as I franticly searched for Monday night football last week. Alas, it is no more. Now we are faced with a long, long wait until preseason in August. It will be difficult to survive Saturdays and Sundays. boo hoo hoo

We are still in the icey grip of winter with daytime highs of 60 or so and lows of 40. At least all that wretched frost is gone. Time to plant the garden. I know that some of you have had some really miserable weather. Well, hahaha.

Both of my little girls have disappeared from my life. They provided an old man with hours of amusement. They are sorely missed.

Speaking of missing, I can hardly wait to be missing from California. We are looking forward to our trek to Nevada. I hope we can accomplish this soon.

My #1 grandson graduates high school in June. He is all set for his college career. His brother is also really smart, but he is also hell on wheels. I hope he decides on a college education too.

It is a grey day here in the San Joaquin valley. The weather report is, "It sucks."

As I gaze at my calendar, I see vast herds of doctor's appointments in our near future. In the good old days, we didn't see the doctor even once a year. Now, it's three time a week. I have said it before, I'll say it again, "The golden years suck." I have decided that the main reason old people die is that they want to escape the 'golden years'. It ain't gold, it is rust.

We are trying to adopt one of my wife's young nieces from the Philippines. Unless you have tried this manuever, you can't believe the amount of useless paperwork that must be accomplished. Why does it have to be so? Well, one of the main reasons is that we have let the lawyers take over our government. It should be illegal to enter into any government function if you have a law degree. I suppose this is just another sign of the moral decay that is being forced upon us by the liberals. booo

I am now depressed. Rats!

It is time to get breakfast and then listen to more Trish.

And so it goes.
