I am so sick and tired of the worthless neighbor across the street popping fireworks every night, I guess he is drunk once more and got started about ten minutes ago. These are very loud fireworks that sound like a bomb. He spaces them out so they must be pricey.
Why do I always get the worst neighbors? Oh well, I think he stopped for the night. It amazes me how an unemployed 30-year-old with a wife and three kids can leech off his parents but more amazing that they allow it to happen. OK, end of rant!
It has been so hot lately. Today we had a high of 102 low of 77 with a heat index of 105 degrees.
I limit my outside time and if it wasn't for the boys (my cats) I do not think I would even go out the door.
As you know I collect rainwater and out of 160 gallons, I am down to 10 gallons just from watering some of the shade trees. I say "some" because the weeds are too high to be able to reach them all.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

August 2014 trip to Uvalde, Texas
We had a doctor's appointment in Uvalde, Texas scheduled for today. I forced myself to go to bed at 11:00 p.m. For the life of me could not go to sleep so got up and got online around 1:30 a.m.
Needed to do a lot of stuff online and once I got that over with, it eased my mind and I was able to go to bed at 3:00 a.m. Got up at 5:00 a.m. to administer my mom her medication and went back to bed.
I was deep in slumber when the telephone rang at 6:31 a.m.!!! Who in the world would call us at that hour? Thought perhaps it was the doctor's office cancelling our appointment...but this early? Then panic set in as I thought it could be my uncle who is out of the country or perhaps ADT informing me my house was broken into. So many scenarios can flash through your mind when you get an early morning call.
Would you believe it was my mother's friend who really is not that close of a friend, more like an acquaintance...a church acquaintance at that. Let me clarify why I say that...my mother has not been to church in seven years...she listens to the services at home, over the telephone. Even less reason to bother a sick elderly acquaintance that early in the morning. For goodness' sake people have you never heard of telephone etiquette? OK, rant over....let's move on.
Uvalde being 70 miles east of Del Rio has the same gasoline prices and .11 cents discount with an HEB card as does the Stripes store. With all things being equal decided I would pass on filling up and fuel the Del Rio economy instead...nothing personal Uvalde residents you all would probably do the same :)
Do not for a minute think I did not spend money while I was there. Stripes in Uvalde makes some of the best chiles rellenos for a convenience store and a plate is only $3.99...bought the last two that they had, as well as two additional plates for tomorrow...an enchilada plate and a half a chicken. Also purchased a yummy Mocha coffee smoothie.
You may recall Uvalde is the site of my favorite Derksen Buildings lot. They had new cabins as well as a couple of used ones. This one featured a large porch.
On a prior Derksen building post, they had this building but in a different color. I did not particularly care for it but I like the color of this one.
They had an used 10 x 20 metal cabin but since I am not looking for something made out of metal...I did not go in.
This 12 x 28 used cabin was in pretty good shape and going for $6,555.00 plus 540.79 tax for a grand total of $7,095.79. Noticed they are offering a 36 month as well as a 60 month financing package, much like a car.
I also found a true gem in the bunch. It is a new line that Derksen is trying out, that is well deserving of a post of its own. Watch out for it in a future post.

BLOGGER – Why the two word verification?
First of all I want to apologize to Billy Bob of Billy Bob’s Travels fame http://billybobsplace.blogspot.com/ as I thought HE had placed a two password verification on his blog when that was not the case. I would go and personally apologize but you know, the two-word verification BS…hay chihuahua!!!
I would not have a problem with it if one of the passwords was not so darn hard to make out and I inevitably get another password to try and then another because I CANT MAKE IT OUT!!!!
It is hard enough to get people to comment on blogs; now with this change it makes it almost impossible. Blogger if you want to make this new change, fine, but can we have the option of opting out of it if we want to?
End of rant.
