Derksen portable buildings - Del Rio branch

On Sunday, I drove to the outskirts of town to check on the shed that I would like to purchase. What was my surprise but to find that it was now out of business!  I then headed to the Derksen shed lot.

They have been here for a while and I was glad that it was Sunday as they are closed and I could walk around their lot without being accosted.

I liked this shed but for some reason, it did not have a price tag...

I found this shed though I did not like the color and from the photographs you can tell it has been sitting in this lot for a while though it is a new built.

See how dirty the siding looks...

The other side...

The back...

I hope nothing else stands in the way like in prior years so I can finally buy a cabin or shed structure and find a home for all my boxes.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Aunty Acid Saying of the Day

Things could always be worst

The last week of April was pretty busy with appointments and our monthly trip to Uvalde.  This time we only had a 3 hour 55 minute wait.  Heard the receptionist call a patient to tell her to come down as the doctor would see her next.  Of course, that only works if you live in town.

Sitting there for long stretches of time you can not help but listen to the conversations around you. Folks, believe it or not I always come out of it feeling better because there is always someone worst off than you or your loved one.

There was this tall, nice looking gentlemen probably in his early 60's, he had this gray hair long pony tail look going for him and filled out his jeans very well :)  You would have never guessed he was sick by looking at him.  He had to take care of both his parents because his two siblings were too busy to help out yet they were not too busy to go on vacations overseas.

His parents passed away within two months of each other so he was finally able to look after his own health issues. He had a kidney removed in the past only to find out he now has cancer in the other one, he needs hip replacement on both hips and other stuff that I don't even recall...yep, things could always be worst :(

Was finally able to stop at the Derksen building lot.  Noticed that prices have taken a considerable hike.  It is a good thing I always take a picture of the building and the price.  At this rate I am probably better off giving everything away...easier said than done!

There is a new Derksen building lot in Del Rio.  Noticed it back in March, it is in the east part of town next to some storage units.  Was going to stop for a quick look but the grass was too high and you know what lurks in high grass!

Anyone watch the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight?  What a rip off!  I am so glad I watched it for free...definitively not worth the $100.00 price tag.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

Even though we are no longer in the playoffs, I am very proud of OUR Spurs and all the thrilling as well as nail biting moments they gave their fans up to the last second of this season...literally...the last second!

On one of the local San Antonio stations Ursula Perry turns to the other anchor person and says "I do not know who am suppose to root for now...do I root for the Rockets?" The anchorman (I think his name is Steve) calmly looks at her and says "No"....jajajajajaja, that was priceless!

OK, Rocket fans don't get all out of sorts now :D

While the Spurs are no longer in contention, I still love the game of basketball. I will continue to watch the playoffs as I root for the underdog and/or for the opponents of those teams that I dislike.

Busy Tuesday

One of the benefits of living in a small town is that you can make an appointment at the local dealership and get in the next day.  An acquaintance of mine that was a service tech at a local dealership in Pearland or was it Alvin?  told me to never schedule an appointment on Monday, Friday or Saturday as most of the mechanics were either hungover, sleepy, tired or looking forward to the weekend and to also try to not be the first customer.  Since then I have heeded his advice.  Passed up an early appointment and settled for one at 10:00 a.m.

A couple of months back I blogged about a little girl going into convulsions at the laundromat.  Her dad is a salesman at the local Toyota dealership and I sought him out to see how she was doing.  She is doing fine and has not had anymore seizures.  In that post I mentioned that as bad as my CRS (it stands for can't remember doodoo) is I was surprised I remembered his name. He happens to have the same last name as an old classmate of mine, turns out she is his aunt!

Val Verde County where Del Rio is located gives its taxpayers a small discount in their property taxes if they are paid before the January 31st deadline. On my way to the courthouse saw that a local church was having its annual pumpkin drive.

I then headed to the P.O. Box and wanted to scream!  If I had come to get the mail first, I could have saved $20 in the car services I had performed today and gotten a free car wash (sigh).....I can just see Billy Bob laughing as he reads this...for some reason he thinks I am cheap :D

I do not know when they opened the local Derksen buildings lot but it must not have been long ago.  I am so happy they are in town as I was going to have to pay some mileage charges if I had bought it in the Uvalde, Texas lot.

Maybe Santa Claus will be generous and buy me one of these?

Swung by HEB to check out beer prices but they were not to my liking.  The new specials start tomorrow so we will see if they will lower them enough to make it worthwhile. Even though I guess even our high prices are better than the Study Butte or Lajitas prices.

Was going to fill up but the news people say prices at the pump are starting to tumble so will wait a while as I do not know when my departure date will be.  I am waiting on my aunt and uncle to get here so I can pick them at the bus station as my mother no longer drives.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
