That's My Kindda Night Or Dear Journal

      First off, tonight I would like to thank my readers for being so faithful!  And for hopefully passing on the joyous word about this very blog page.  Or the few readers who just keep clicking on this page by accident hoping they will finally read something funny and or find porn here.  At any rate this very page just hit 33,000 + views!   I have other pages also but this is the longest running and most read of them all.   As I read my past rambling, much of it that seems like it would only be enjoyable to me--- I am glad that I have so many viewers.  And I really wish that I had started this page years ago!  Because if nothing else it is much like a journal for me  of what is going on in my crazy, but amazing life.  

   And now a mini rant----I have been slacking on this for sure   and hope to bring this back as a regular featureless feature every Friday as it used to be.  Simply type in "mini rant" in the search portion of this very blog page for more such examples.  You will not be dissatisfied.  Especially if you are a long time reader.  Thus already numb to actual good comedy. 


   

  

 

**My mini rant for today** Involves ALL of the people that either do not understand or simply do not care what the left lane on I-10 is for. I can tell you it is not for going 50 MPH! When I am in my redneck truck -people pull out of the passing lane, when I come up on them but in our little POS car people just laugh and drive slower. Maybe you have not read a drivers manual, but unless you are a ...Highway Patrol officer that takes pride and gets his kicks out of driving super slow, and watching no one pass him, it is illegal to drive in the left lane UNLESS you are actually passing someone! After 8+ hours of work, I want to get out of Tucson, before I get shot, and get back to my home and family in Benson. NOT follow behind some dippy-Skippy Sunday driver that doesn't know how to drive in the correct Dam lane! Emphasize on the Dip! If you were in the wrong lane and got flipped off after being tail gated over the last week, I DO NOT apologize here. --Just sayin'

                                        But as usual     what do I know!!?

 

        **"I would like to thank my middle finger, for always sticking up for me!"**

 

Fire pit tonight staring at the stars a few brews clear perfect warm night That's my kindda night! http://youtu.be/crCqWK3SmRo    I really do believe there is a country song that fits EVERY kind of occasion and mood.     Prove me wrong if you do not believe so.  And I will proudly and humbly call you a rock star for life.   I do wish that my new buddy would have joined me for a brew or two.  But the kiddos were more than entertained by the great powers of the fire.   I was fully into all of the stars as they slowly appeared in the night sky.  But than too was fully occupied in all the fire had to offer.   Something  that has had such power over mankind for so long.  

 

    I have been slacking at posting my Exploring song of the day AND of making fun of Wally World for awhile now.  To accomplish both   

  Today's Exploring song comes with a video. And is brought to you by the letters W M and Y for Yuck! or Yummy depends on what your into I guess. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=498694166867826

You really didn't think I would forget to post about coffee today did you??

 

 

 

Two words

Stay Away!

 

 

You go   baby!

 

 

I found this on a local Tucson restaurant sight

It makes me wonder if they ship in the crap or if it is local?

 

 

 

Sooooo sick about hearing about the ice bucket challenge

 

 

To soon?

 

Today I just read about some dumb ass that is in super hot water after dumping ice water on his baby  or someones baby on tape for the challenge.  It really could not get much dumberere

I hope!

 

 

 

  Wyoming fits in this too!   I just read where it is already snowing in the hills around Wyoming.

Daze Off Filled With Court, Visiting, Arguing, and Coffee

           Hello and happy August to all of you in reader land!  All 2.5 of  you to be more exact.  I do not how it is for you, but for me this summer has been flying by.  In a way that is nice, because it is even hotter than hot in Arizona in the summer time.  And because it means I am staying busy with work and all.  On the home front we have been fighting a lot--so it is kind of nice that time is flying by with that aspect also.  My wife and I are nearing nine years of being together which is amazing, but with that we also know the red alert buttons to push with each other and the fights can easily go south very quickly.  I wish I had the answer to stop it all, but that does not seem to be in the near or distant future.  We do both have mini vacations of sorts coming up, so maybe by a miracle we will come back refreshed and recall why we fell in love and why we have made it so long together. 

       My buddy is coming into town for a short visit tomorrow afternoon.  And we are ready to annoy the locos for sure!  I have three days off work this week for his visit, with one as a paid day off from work.  Lots of pictures and blog posts on this page and my newest page to come of course.  http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/   Exploring all around beautiful Arizona.  Please check out the page and share it!!   **

    Today's Exploring song goes to my buddy that flew into the area last night. A few daze in Palm Springs and than he comes here to help me keep all the local crazies in line! I don't know if he drank on the plane --I do know it's a great idea when on Greyhound bus!!http://youtu.be/QrM39m22jH4

   ** Can't wait for court on Monday. After eight years of working at Wally World--I know how to argue with a true rocket scientist. And sometimes the best defense is to just let the other person talk! Who is really dumb enough to lie in court paper work? Someone dumb enough to lie in court. After that fun--- I meet up with Mr Mark in Tucson for a mini vacation. **

Hopefully his visit will not result in more court dates--for me anyways.  Tomorrow marks court date number two for me to straighten up some local issues.  That are more annoying than anything.  But from my past and my marriage I know how something small can easily turn into something huge that followes you around for years.  Hopefully tomorrow I get everything thrown out of court and can sleep much easier free from some of the stupid for a little longer.  I will not get into this to much right now--- but this picture reflects my thoughts on the whole court case and my recent arguments online. 

 

 

If I lose this "friend" in court it will be a win.

Sometimes the best way to lose someone is to lend them $. 

 

In case you recently lost your girl

We can tell....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds Perrrfect.

 

 

Sign me up!

 

 

Good times!!

 

Next post I will go more into the court fun.  Unless I go to jail   I think they only give Wi-Fi

access to those in prison not jail.

I will also post more about recent arguing with idiots.  Or DURPS as I like to call them.

Dim-witted Urban Redneck Parloes. 

I am not the smartest crayon in the pack for sure--if I was I would not pick fights with my wife--ever.

But man I feel smart arguing with many people online. 

The best part is they think they are stressing me out  and it actually is a stress reliever for me. 

I particularly hate when they argue something into a circle that does not prove any point at all.  Or suddenly become busy and have a life, when my part of the conversation backs them into a complete corner. 

But what do I know. 

 

 

Also very soon an extra picture filled post

from our new home town in Benson, Arizona.

As of June we have lived here a year now.

And I at last think I have some neato pictures of this very little town. 

 

 

 

More Random Rambling

     Above is a great little video about needing more coffee!   I used to always have a coffee buddy--but do not here.  *Sad face.   I attempted to venture out and have coffee and write this blog post at the local Mc Grease Pit, --the only local place with coffee and Wi Fi.  But the water line had burst some time in the night--and it seems it takes water to make coffee.  

     So our youngest just read the book "Holes" and watched the movie. And now he is digging big as@ holes all over the yard looking for buried treasure.    Just further proof that we need a metal detector---Hint hint!  We go Exploring all of the time  and that would defiantly make it more of an adventure.  Although it would be more to carry-while running away from gun toting property owners.  On a side note-it is great that he is reading-always a challenge to get him to do anything that does not involve a screen.  And that book is one of the only books I have read in a long while that went almost identical to the movie.  Usually the movie is so far off base, that I regret seeing it. 

 

 

**I always dislike people thus why I work in customer service. But the dislike is much higher today. Drove to Tucson for a day job an no boss! We're is the coffee!!----

So a few days back I thought I had landed a very good clean up job in Tucson.  That paid very well, plus we would have more items to sell.   Turns out it was to good to be true.   I had talked to the boss the night before and we were supposed to meet in Tucson at 8 AM.   Never saw the person, never got them to pick up there phone.   Did not get to sleep in!    If you are that person and reading this---Booooo!  And luckily Karma is an ever bigger B*tch than you! 

On a similar note--- last week someone requested my services to haul there stuff to the dump-and asked how much the dump runs would cost.  They had already moved out of the house, and the stuff was in the way of the landlord.   I assumed  that since they said it was going to the dump, that all the items were fair game for us. 

Some of the items were very nice---and we instantly put them online for sale. 

This caused a big problem because apparently taking $ for hauling off the items and than attempting to sell them was very "shady."    Really? 

To make it even MORE fun the "lady" is one of the main nurses were my wife currently goes tot he doctor.   And the "lady" complained to the local online buy/sell/rant page--and my wife got booted off the page. 

So we have started a new local free/barter page on Facebook.  With very few   easy rules and will be starting up a new buy/sell page also.   Also with very few rules.  I find it very strange that all of the local pages have 800 rules.   Why?  And I am always seeming to be breaking one of them.  Then when I argue logic with the page administrators, I get banned from the page.  *sad face. 

Wally World does not have 800 rules, if you can get yourself in the store-you can buy stuff!

Hell with there web pages-you do not even have to enter the dreaded store. 

 

 

Speaking of Wally World....

 

I am assuming all of my readers know that the fire lane at Wally World is for entering or leaving the store--or fire trucks. Not for parking. So I will save the "mini rant" for my blog. Yesterday I meet another fine Wally World shopper that did not understand this concept. But in all fairness I believe she thought she was at the drive up window at Mc Grease pit.  Things went down hill when I offered to hand her a drivers manual. At one point she told me I could call the cops if I had a problem with her being parked right in front of the store entrance. I than informed her that she could call the cops right after I shoved a cart into the side of her car. She than attempted to be smart with me--a long stretch for anyone that actually thinks they deserve to park in the fire lane---- and as I went to the cart rack, she decided it was best to move her car. Thanks for playing Wally World shopper!    I knew from the begging -that me saying something to the beyond wrong parker-would result in me being a bastard. 

 

 

 

The local police dept. is now posting daily mug shots on there Facebook page. And than asking people not to comment or make fun of the mugshots. Haha. I can still think it! Good times!

I have to say it is a good read each morning though. 

And NO, I have not made the police reports yet....

 

 

 

   **Two quick thoughts here--- I want to start taking some of my better pictures from my Exploring and turn them into greeting cards. Some empty some with my wife's poems in them-----Would you buy such a thing?? And 2nd I have had this idea for awhile now--and probably should not post it on FB--I want to take peoples mug shots--famously bad ones, and those of your friends-and put them on coffee mugs. I would call them mug shot mugs.... If my mother in law ever gets arrested again---I will buy 2000 of my own product. **

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With doctor visits and such we have been taking a lot of trips to Tucson in the last few weeks.  Several of my upcoming Exploring posts will be from this great town.  Please check out MY newest page and share it.

That brings us to today's Exploring picture of the day!

Last week the kiddos and I were Exploring down town Tucson. 

And getting lots of pictures of course!

This shot is takin' just off I-10  by the Circle K  so a good distance from the mountain.

I did not notice until I posted this picture online, that it is zoomed in so close you can see people and cars around the A and at the top.

There is supposed to be trails all around this area --and each time I go past it, the hill calls to me to climb it.  But it has not happened yet. 

 

 

 

Also in down town Tucson---

Like many people her thought bubble is completely empty.

Many more pictures coming very soon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last rambling for today.

Mother's day is THIS Sunday.

Unless you were hatched--or have my wife's mother--who happens to be the reason my wife drinks, you need to buy your mom something and call her!

If you think it was bad missing your anniversary     this would be much worse.

 

 

 

Thank You

                   First off this morning I would like to thank all of my readers!  The loyal, the ones lost in cyber space that just fell into my blogs, and decided to read them, and my mother- who seems to be my biggest fan.  Maybe even those of you that keep clicking on my page--or that share my pages and rambling with others.  Whatever the case just this blog page just hit 27,000 + views!!  So again   thank you!   Above I did say this morning, it is still earlish in the AM on a Sunday morning.  I can handle mornings, but I am definitely not a morning person.  I get my 2nd wind around 11 at night  and could easily be a great night owl.  If I could get any sleep during the day that is.   I would also like mornings MUCH more, if they started around noon!  

   This page has been around for years now--and I hope that it is a joy for many of the readers still.  Or at least makes them laugh just a little bit-often.  I am working on more pictures and such for many Exploring posts.  Tomorrow there is no school for Dead Presidents Day--so the boys and I are going to roam some were.   Hopefully we will have bought a new--to us--car very soon, and the adventures will start to be further from home.  I have a whole list of hikes and such I wish to check out, but our gas guzzling truck is not the best method to get to the trail heads.  At least it is not the most fuel efficient method by far.  Before I complain about car hunting---   here are some of my other pages and time fillers.   Please check them out---and share the links if you enjoy what you see!   As soon as I start working again--I am sure my posting will drop on all pages.

  **"Tucson, AZ area just beat record heat temperatures --holding on since 1957. Nearly 90 yesterday . It was so warm --I hung out in the freezer isle at Wally World for awhile--- really. While many of you shovel snow--we are going to BBQ some ribs this afternoon. Feel free to be annoyed........ NOW        As usual no real point to this--- Just sayin'     :)"**

   

Today it will again be in the 80's here. 

And as Arizona residents rejoice

We are searching for our fans in storage and noting that this is going to be a killer hot summer.

    The plants are all confused here and I think we will be seeing signs of spring all around.  

Rattle snakes are already being spotted all around the Tucson area.  Luckily I have not spotted one yet.  Partly because with all the sun shine and warmth---I put things off.  I have started jogging again---more on that soon--but not today.  I can say that I am super out of shape, and that the short first jog--left my legs much sorer the next day than they should have been.  On my trip very soon--I want to at least be able to keep up with my 50 year old buddy on a hike or two.  And I am back in the mode of wanting to do at least one 10 K run this spring.  Although that is not a huge run--I am no were close to being able to do this.   With the heat, I am also wondering about training and actually accomplishing one.  I do not do much well in the heat, including sitting on my as*.  

I believe I saw this announcement on TV the day after Valentines Day

We have been visited by local Mormons a lot in the last few months. 

So the above post is just for them!  

Sheep are safe!

I have not touched on this subject for awhile.

But have written about it a lot in the past.  

I even have a large collection of sheep toys.

If you are not from Wyoming--don't even try to understand.  

    And now I must vent about car shopping for a minute or three.  While in Washington state we had a nice little Buick that could legally seat six.  It was not the best car in the world but it kept going and it got great gas millage.  Because we had a travel trailer when we moved to Arizona, we purchased a redneck pickup.  And attempted to sell the car--also because we did not think the car would make it all that distance.  Our pickup had so many issues along the way, that it is almost a brand new truck.   The buyers decided to drive our car through a house one night--- I picture it very much like the above picture.  And forgot to tell us about the mishap.  Luckily we still had insurance on the car when the drive through attempt happened.  Needless to say, if we could find our old car---we do still have keys to it--it probably would look something like the car above.  Which seems to be what most of the cars in this area actually look like.   AND the owners still want $3000 for them.  Taking the hunk of metal to be recycled would not even get me half that amount.   Although having it squished into a metal cube--would make a great base for a new coffee table.  

    We do not expect a perfect car for the cash we have to put down at the moment, but holy cow--the things we have been looking at are beyond bad.  And we have the cash in hand.   Thanks to filling early on taxes.   We looked at a car the other day---pictures were all nice --clean looking--supposedly the car ran.   It was basically a big paper weight  that did not run.  The man was not even sure why it did not run anymore.  He had even hooked it up to machines for diagnostic checks, and did not know why it didn't run.   The outside of the car--was in very nice shape, probably because it had had not run in so long.  But the inside was gutted out and reminded me of a mulch pile in smell and look.  He still thought the vehicle that transformed into a paperweight was still worth a large amount of money.  I am sure it is to someone--just not to us.  I have turned many expensive items into paperweights, from misuse, but was not going to buy one.  

      A few daze back we were supposed to look at another great car.  But while I was attempting to get directions to view the car---the owner became very pushy.  Asking in the first several minutes of the phone call--if I had the cash for the car.  And so on.  And than telling me that the price was very firm, and she did not have time to haggle.  We sell things all of the time, and never ask someone right off, if they have the cash--before they get to our home, or when they get here.   Anyways we decided it best not to even look at the car.   One that may very well be another paperweight for us.
