I read my resolution list. I’ve been running at top speed but I can’t catch up. My object is to drain the swamp but I’m up to my A$$ in alligators!

Coffee is ready. My AC is broke, blowing hot. Calling AC guy first thing this morning. Can NOT live in manufactured home in Texas without AC. Slept on sofa at son’s house, only furniture left in there. Woke up more than I slept, grumpy and in a bad mood.

Coffee is ready. My first job was at JC Penny when I was 16. Minimum wage was $1.60 and I was hired at a whopping &1.70!!! A full ten cents over minimum wage! I worked weekends and after school. My first apartment when I was 17, was $135 a month.

Coffee is ready. I’m borrowing a neighbor’s truck this morning to go get a super bag of feed. 1,000 pounds. Finally tomorrow my sister in law and I are loading up my truck on a gooseneck trailer to take it to the shop. It has either a diesel leak or an oil leak. I’m hoping it’s a fuel leak...

We call it bull thistle.

Doing chores yesterday evening, I opened the doors to the shed to find two copperheads nestled on the alfalfa crumbs. Uhhh…., Nope! NOT reaching for a flake of alfalfa! I went and got a square point shovel and a machete. I slammed the shovel on both, whacked the bigger snake with the machete...

Coffee is ready! It’s cold here at 42F, but warming up this week. I think I’ll go chop and drop thistles this morning. They are getting ahead of me, they are monstrous huge. Time to sharpen up the machete. Will be sunny this week, maybe that will dry them up and I can gather and put them in a...

That is wonderful.

I got back about an hour ago. We met at Woody’s Smokehouse. It’s a destination kind of place. Right on the interstate, there’s tons of traffic. It’s on the southbound side. They built a new one on the northbound side and both stay busy. When I left, I went to the northbound side and bought...

Rain stopped! I got meat in big cooler plus some feral hog cuts. And some other meat, she is making a haul. Her chicken total is $528. I’m going to Athens Greece with her and family in September 2026. My share comes to just under $800. The chicken is going towards the trip money, she said don’t...

I have to meet a customer this morning 1 1/2 hours away. Just getting daylight and it started raining. Got to do animal chores, then put cooler in back seat and load it with chicken. Can’t pick it up when full. I’ll pack chicken in plastic grocery bags, makes for faster transfer, put in laundry...

Yes he is!
