I wuz amused

















I wuz amused
The folks showed up yesterday for the blocks, in a PT Cruiser, what a hoot. An hour later they was back with his son’s truck and the big strapping son and those blocks made it squat.

Nice to have more room in the shop now but I also have a LOT of red building blocks I want out of there, enough to build a small building, or chicken coop or something, maybe a wall or raised garden bed, In the fall I will start putting them out by the street with a free sign.

An old couple where walking toward Walmart, holding hands. Sweet.

The lady in my cover photo is a university professor that was spot on when she said, “I love my job, I hate my job.”

Weather is still iffy, I may go fishing this morning.

Haul ass and bypass

Have a blessed fucking day.

Plans get changed










A storm Friday evening knocked a big branch off the big dead tree at the property, the picture is crappy cuz the flash went off. Folks were supposed to be coming for the blocks so I spent an hour cleaning that area up being as it is where you drive in. But they didn’t show, maybe they will this morning. Anyway, maybe covering the front of the dinghy this morning, depending on the weather but we need the rain so that is cool.

You’ve had a look at the future, you know there is no talk about god in the future.

Stay positive

If you were to ask how it is going

















I would say not worth a shit. The canvas isn’t sticking to the dinghy very well, there will be lifting in places. I’m going to attribute it to the paint I’m using being as I’ve not had that problem on past projects. Well, there are ways to fix that later.

I also need another gallon of paint, the canvas soaks a lot of it up. Anyway, the back piece is on other than wrapping it over the gunwales after I turn it over. Will start putting the front piece on this morning, I ironed it yesterday.

Sherry would bust my bubble about Myra but she may be right.

Sometimes I miss my tail, it wuz fun swinging around in the trees.
Flow over the bullshit.

Slow going




I just work on covering the dinghy a little each morning, it is going to take a while but there is no hurry, I’m not working on it in the heat.

No winner in the Texas lotto Wednesday so I saved a buck by not buying a ticket.

The lady still wants the cinder blocks but lives out of town and having transportation problems, I’m hopeful they’ll show up in the next few days.

If you’re not fucking up













It’s cuz you’re not doing anything, suppose I’ll be fucking up until I die. I should have ironed the canvas before installing it, to get the fold creases out of it, took me extra time to keep working it to get them to lay down. I’ll iron the front piece before putting it on.

Those that have followed me for years know that I’ve developed some of my own ways of doing things. Like using a squeeze bottle and a paint pad when painting. Won’t go into why again. Oil based paint with thinner in it will start to eat the styrofoam part of the pad so I cut off the pad and made a wood backer.

Myra said she hopes she gets to go fishing in my redneck dinghy with me. Just when I decide she isn’t interested in me she comes up with shit like that, women, rolls eyes.

I keep forgetting to put bug spray on my legs when outside until a dozen chiggers have bit me, the little bastards, the joys of living in the south.

The lady didn’t come for the blocks yesterday, sigh.

I wish they would fix that fucking pothole on Fisk !!! Being as I’m apparently too fucking stupid to remember to avoid the son of a bitch.

Flow over the bullshit.

Going away











I have 12 cinder blocks with some concrete on the bottoms of them I wanted to get rid of, a lady on freecycle was looking for some so I’m glad to let her have them so I don’t have to figure out how to get rid of them. Now if I could just give away a bunch of other building blocks I have that would be good.

The painters canvas I’m putting on the dinghy has a seam through the middle of it and I won’t want it there so will cut it out and put it on in two pieces, just overlap it some.

Flow over the bullshit.

No covering today



















Today I’ll turn the dinghy over and do some painting on the inside, the first coat has a lot of thinner in it so it soaks in good.

Side of hashbrowns $1.95, dish of gravy 25 cents, I like the Red Wagon.

Flow over the bullshit.
