Bad Day at Block Rock - errrr - Make it Bad Year.

[crash325]

Incidental to other goings on.
Took the girls with me, sure glad I made it home. They would rather ride that eat steak. (well almost)
As I was leaving a Chartreuse green Chevy was at the gate next door. On the way home it was headed toward town with a matruss in the back.
Right after I locked the gate a sheriff's car went to crooks place. Came right out I yelled at him & tried to talk.
Little boy had a fit. So far now little boy has been ready to attack a Fed-x man & now a cop.
Decided I had enough fun for 1 morning, lets have a beer & a tamale.
Lately I have been salting my beer ( some kind of new craving ). Taping the salt shaker the corner broke off. OH well salt comes out easier.

Life goes on.
Today's the the day to play batteries & see if another old charger will work.

lets have a beer & a tamale.

A REAL mans breakfast, makes my mouth water! Awe what the hay, it's 8:30 AM, I'm outta here. After all, it is perfect tamale weather and we all know ALL weather is perfect beer weather.:drink: Oh BTW salt isn't bad for you, it's just the doctors that tell you how bad it is for your body! C ya 445A

Ya nailed it. :drink::drink:

As I said earlier my luck has to change. it's almost like $$$ in the bank.
No I didn't hit the lottery. But was ready to spent about $100 for a new alternator.
Popped the hood, gona change batteries & found the wire going to the alternator had come loose.
Fixed that puppy, turned the key knowing that the battery would still be dead.
Nope jumped right up to 12 volts & the truck fired right off. Start up tractor & let it charge as well.
Have a beer while they charge. 15 Volts at first then it cut back to 14.
Lets enjoy the moment & beer. Ckut off tractor & drive truck around to the barn.
No tamale today, it was ham & beer.

Big Step for Little Boy. Yesterday he would put his feet on my leg as I sat in the truck with it running. More of the same today. But all at once he got into the truck. Didn't stay long, but did it all on his own. Going from running away from me every time I opened the truck door, that is a big step.
Truck works, dog progressing = Me happy.

Someone wanted to know if I was a good person or not.
My dogs get treats almost every day, I feed birds, even boil sugar water for the hummers, make sure birds & rabbits have water.

For the last almost 10 years Harvey & I maintained the community well. We spent between $250 & $300 & never charged anyone for the parts or 1 dime for labor.

I, with the help of Harvey & dart, hauled in over 50 yards of gravel to rebuild the roads around here. No one helped or even offered to ,help pay for the cost incurred. Run a tractor / loader for 10 to 20 hours & see what that alone costs. Plus 2 trucks.

May & June of this year I spent $ over $150 to keep the well up & running, plus many hours of labor. Not been paid by anyone yet, even though I split it 4 ways & included myself as 1 of the 4.

Separately I filled in the easement (100% on my property & 1/2 should be on other property.) After a rain there was a lake over 2 feet deep. Dug a trench so that it could also drain.

Hauled off & buried 3 huge loads of trash from the criminals property

Nuff for now.
Not really complaining, just the facts.

Jim it is not what you have done In the past.
Only what have you done lately.

You could give cash money to every one you meet And some dead beat will complain because he was across the street and never received the money.

keep up the work.

Yep: just never enough sugar for some people.

It's starting to freeze here & the well pipes need insulating. I should just let them freeze. But that would just create more work & problems for myself. Debating wither to use some old crap I have laying around or get some good stuff in town.

Prosecuting attorney sent me an email, that if I show up for sentencing, good old Ronny could get up to 12.5 years. Real pain in the butt to go down town to the court house. 1/2 mile walk from parking & $5 to park. But may be worth it in satisfaction.

More Later

I just hate shared wells and glad I do not have to do so. I think I would spend the dollars to isolate all the users and turn off the ones that don't pay their share. Maybe too hard to do and to confrontational. As an alternative I would but in my own pressure tank and cut off the others a few hours a day just to get their attention.

Jimbrown Did Tombstone get their water system fixed after it burned in Forrest fire Seemed there was a problem with a wheel on the wheelbarrow used to mix cement . Government had policy on no wheels in the area?

Maybe crash325 should run for Mayor in this commune he is living.
Jim I have a absentee ballot if you need it.

Jim,
Dad taught me to mix melted lard (I use cresco) with turpentine. Equal parts of both. I brush it on open dog wounds with a 1 inch wide paint brush. The lard will not solidify for months mixed with turpentine. I brushed it on, twice a day, until they healed up. I never had problems with maggots using this home remedy.

Last fall, when Booger got his neck ripped open, a vet friend told me to not use the lard and turpentine mix, but instead use peroxide twice a day and rinse out the open wounds. Which I did. He got maggots in the open wound. I picked out two to three maggots twice a day then for a few days.

Bottom line, maggots will live in the wound with the peroxide rinse, but I never had a problem with maggots using the lard and turpentine mix.

I also give penicillin shots for a week.

Dad was an Animal Husbandry student at Texas A&M. He was in class of 1944. But he enlisted right after Peal Harbor and never went back to A&M to be a veterinarian. He was raised on the farm in the Texas Panhandle, so I guess home schooling won out in the home remedy I use over store bought medicine!

I hope your "little" doggie is doing better!
hugs, Brandi

Hi Lady,
Always good to hear from you. Thanks for the tip. May try it some time. He is doing pretty well. Not sore any more & I've been putting "Blue Kote" on him. It is doing a pretty good job. He may have had a fly blow, that I scratched out, but no maggots. He had a big puss sack, it's mostly gone now.
Seems to me "Smear 64" was a tar & turpentine mix +??. Sure worked good in the old days.
At well over 100#s ( Not Fat Either) he still thinks he is a lap dog. :laughing: Had to cut off the rope harness that I put on him, his neck got too big for it.
Think he has forgotten the bad days in jail. Now the world is his oyster. Just a big ole clown puppy at heart.
The dogs are spoiled rotten & when I find whoever did that they are in big trouble.

More later. thanks again
Jim
