Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Been around, but fitting for this time of year.




Dear Diary:
Just moved to Texas ! know this is a state that knows how to live!!

Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place!
It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:

Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an
air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car.

What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a
sun worshipper.

June 30th:

Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus
and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me.

Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:

The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to
this kind of heat?

At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is
taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:

Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my
body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do.

I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like
this.

July 20th:

I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning.
By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up
to the size of a shopping bag, then
popped like a water balloon.
I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat.

Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:

The wind sucks. It feels like a giant blow dryer!!

And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC
repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order
parts.

July 30th:

Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now. A $225,000 house
and I can't even go inside.. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever
come here?

Aug. 4th:

It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost
$500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I h**e this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:

If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to
strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is
boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I
smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:

Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the
seats in the car, my ass caught fire.

My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and
baked cat.

Aug 10th:

I’m convinced now that the weather report is a damn recording. Hot and
sunny.

Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do Sh**t for 2 darn
months and the weatherman says it might really warm up
next week.

Doesn't it ever rain in this darn state? Water rationing will be next, so
my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over.

Even the cactus can't live in this darn heat.

Aug. 14th:

Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead.

Forgot to crack the window and blew the darn windshield out of the car.
The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough
for you today?"

My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.
Freaking Texas!

Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

That's just part of summer! Wait till winter when he opens the door to find the dog with his tongue stuck to his nuts cause it's so cold out!😃😃

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I just KNOW you took precautions, Willy, 'cause diving can be a dangerous sport off the cliffs of Lake Whitney. But, I assume you are speaking of scuba diving...right

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Thats up in the panhandle Archie....never got below freezing here last winter, all my annuals survived for the 1rst time in 25yrs.


Poor dog, put it in the microwave for thawing...It works

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Mostly scuba....did a few cliff dives over the years when the lake was up, nothing big.......the bridge thing was just plain stupid, but there were babes around so i had too you know slatt, the only reason men do stupid stuff....i don't recommend it.

archie bunker Loc: Texas

No wonder there are fewer people here!

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

There's no wondering Archie

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I do wander, aimlessly, a lot.

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Yea, I've wandered a time or two. ..usually looking for something i had in my hand 5 minutes prior

On another note..........my baby girl received her promotion to Captain in ROTC this morning, gonna be a good senior year for her. ..she worked hard for that, did well on her weekend warrior camps during the summer.....oh yea! Proud papa slatt.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Lolololololol...Never saw this before...excellent..

Makes me wonder what I'm really going to get when moved in here..Timing perfect there Mister...

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

You have every reason to be proud, Willy CONGRATULATIONS to both Proud Papa and his young Captain.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I often wonder why and where I'm wandering.
