The past two mornings have been foggy and drizzly but at least it has not been cold. Today was trash day, I have avoided picking up the trash outside of our fence line that worthless people throw out their window but could not put it off any longer.
The weeds and grass have grown a lot since Pollito mowed them. I either have to tackle them myself or hire someone to do them...man I hate yard work!
We have a cold front on the way and I did not want to take a chance on Barney (OFM Adventures) leaving as I missed him by a couple of hours the last time he was in town...but not today!
We had a long and pleasant conversation. Barney is knowledgeable on just about any topic. If you have never met him I highly recommend you drop by his campground if he is ever near your hometown.
Spurs Corner
With our two best players out of the line-up this evening and having to play the Golden State Warriors, it was no wonder KSAT12 sports anchor pretty much insinuated that everyone go to bed and check the highlights in the morning.
We had a fighting chance when we were only down two points before the half...then they went on a run and pretty much dashed our hopes.
The second half was AWFUL!!! Maybe KSAT12's advice was not so bad.

Cataracts / Barney / Internet Issues
Hi, folks! Did you think I had finally found my TWC (tall weathered cowboy) and ran off with him? Wish that had been the case, but sadly No :-(
Actually, after seven months of thinking it over, mother finally agreed to have cataract surgery on her other eye. We were in San Antonio for three days last week. Tried to make a post using my tablet but that went nowhere. My fingers aren't as agile as I would like. I admire those people that can blog from their cell phones and other small devices.
Last Friday I went to visit fellow blogger Barney of OFM Adventures who is visiting Del Rio. I think I went at a bad moment as he was asleep after having suffered a migraine earlier in the day. However, he is a very polite man and put up with me anyway.
We had a very nice conversation and tried to recall the last time we had seen each other. It was in November of 2013 when both Billy Bob and Barney were at the San Pedro campground. It was a funny post here is a link if you care to read it http://terlinguadreams.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-am-running-off-with-billy-bob.html
That evening I turned on my computer to make a post only to find that my Internet was down and that was before the winds and rain! Called DISH but they could not come out until Monday or Tuesday but we had to go back to San Antonio for mother's post-op check-up.
I think I am going to start spending the night at a hotel so I will not be so stressed out trying to make it there on time and fighting traffic. As a member of AARP I have already saved enough money on discounts to pay for this year's membership fees plus I also get a 2:00 p.m. check-out, which to me is priceless.
My mechanic was the one who turned me on to DISH, so I asked him where they had moved to, as I would like to see my soap operas and Spurs games on my tablet when I travel but needed help in setting it up. He told me the local dealer had gone out of business...well so much for that!
We got back to Del Rio yesterday afternoon to a warm and toasty 93-degree winter day. I do not think we have even had three weeks of winter thus far. Not that I want it to be cold but I sure would like the fleas to die. Poor dogs are scratching themselves silly.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
