First Post of 2018

It took me eight days but here is my first post of 2018.  My computer has been freezing up a lot lately and since I go online late at night I am too tired to mess with it or to drag out my old laptop.

I hurt my right shoulder doing yard work and it hurts in particular when I try to move or carry something. I need a yardman, a maid, a cook and a chauffeur...too bad it is not in the budget :-(

It was a beautiful sunny day with a high of 73 degrees.  I am looking forward to not having to hear fireworks this evening as the kids went back to school today.

We have a busy day tomorrow so I am going to turn in early or at least early for me.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

The Spurs schedule for December and January has been grueling. These back to back games are killing me. Last night's loss to the Trail Blazers by one point was a little disappointing but it was a good game. 

Manu has been playing great as well as Davis Bertans.  It is a shame Kawhi hurt himself again but we finally have Aldridge playing like the player he was when we drafted him and that we did not see for two years until this season.

Dang, Toni twisted his ankle!

Tonight's game against the Kings was not pretty but OUR guys pulled it off!!!

Go Spurs Go!!!

Pissy Ants / Phone Calls / Computer Woes

Yesterday I felt pretty worn out after three doctor appointments in a week.  I guess the lack of sleep and stress is getting to me.  I pretty much did nothing even though there is a lot to do around here.

Today I had to once again go on a killing spree...an ant killing spree!  The rains always bring more out and those pissy ants are hard suckers to kill...but kill them I did...thank you Ortho-Orthene :D

Glad I had finished when Ralph showed up.  He follows me everywhere and I am afraid I am going to trip and fall on him.

Fire Ants in West Texas do not make mounds

The phone never stopped ringing today.  It made my mother happy as it was family members she has not heard from in a while.  It was hot, another 102 degree day...seems to be the going temperature lately. I can hardly wait for mid-October when we get our first cold front or at least temperatures in the 80's.

Orthene works pretty quickly

I am having a lot of problems with my computer.  It freezes up and I think it is pretty much on its last legs.  I write a comment and it takes a while for it to even appear on my screen.  I do not even hit preview anymore as it sends my comments to comment heaven...so sorry for the misspelled words I leave in your respective blogs :-(

Long line of pissy ant mounds going from one
tree to the other.

I have downloaded Malware software and done scans but nothing seems to help.  I was hoping to be able to fit in a trip to Houston and see if I could purchase one there.  They certainly have more stores and back to school specials than in Del Rio.  However, I don't think I can work it into the schedule this month.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

More computer woes

To save my sanity and to keep me from flinging my computer across the room I decided to not make a post last night...perhaps I should have done the same tonight!

I do not know if it is Chrome, IE 10, my computer or me but it took me close to three hours to make my post on Walter's World.  Every page I open seems to take years to download.  I am running a full computer scan as I type.

Whenever I do a "Preview" the font size looks small though I have never changed it.  Is it my computer or does it appear on yours as well?  I apologize if it appears in yours too... if you do a Shift Control and then hit + it will make it larger.

Had to go into town to run some errands and made the bad decision to go to Wal-Mart.  My goodness what a zoo that place is on Sunday...will never make that mistake again!

Needed to call my mother and since I am one of the very few people left in the world that does not own a cell phone tried to find a payphone.  Do you know how hard that is?  Found one at Stripes deposited my .50 cents and when I hung up it gave me my money back!  That made me recall that a few months back at another Stripes in town it did the same thing.  There are very few FREE things these days, glad to have found one today :)

The going rate for gasoline this weekend in the Del Rio area was...

 

 

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
