PATIO COVER PRETTY MUCH DONE.






The day started off chilly with drizzle. Pyote got rain...Odessa got rain...we did not.

WOW! There was just as much cussing today over the patio project as there was last time. That "see-ment" (or concrete) is just so damn HARD to drill!!! George cut his hand and it bled. Then George got a big hole in the ass of his jeans...poor Jorge!

Anyways they got the thing squared up and reinforced...chain removed...rope removed and see them enjoying the sunset.
Guess what the first decoration I put up was? If you are a Daniels type person....you'll recognize it!
There's one more board to add...but gene ran outta wood.
And I have ALOT more stuff to hang and add and decorate.
It's 9 p.m. and Gene went to bed already.

RADIO HOTLINE:
For Sale:
Full size Elvis poster. (imagine...FULL sized!)
Wanted:
Dog kennels and doll houses. (everyone needs a house...actually there were TWO different people asking for doll houses on this day....what the hell's up with that?)
Chain link fencing for full or queen size bed. (huh? maybe they meant "and" not "for".)
-------------------------------
There was a puppy right here in town that tested positive for rabies. Yesterday they had a big rabies shot clinic at the local vet's.

The cops busted somebody with 350 lbs. of pot.

I went to the dentist in Kermit (population 5,700) last Thursday. It's 50 miles each way. No cavities...yay! The hygienist had a nice, light touch and the dentist was nice but durn....their equipment is SOOOOO outdated! I hadn't "spit in the bowl/sink" in years and years. Ah well, they got the job done. Pecos has one dentist but no one seems to like him...at least no one we know goes to him.
On the drive home a mama dog trotted right out in front of my truck....she was carrying a BIG, recently deceased ground squirrel in her mouth...it was just a-swinging back and forth.

It's going to be 40 degrees tonight. Jeez...60...40...90...80...whatever. We finally HAD to turn the A/C on last week. I HATE to do that. Seems like once ya turn it on...it never goes off.

I worked on Friday and finished the 67 or 72 or whatever it was denim shirts I've been monogramming.

Love, Mary

Dear Mary,
Thanks for posting the pics of the patio cover. I smiled when I saw Dad's nameplate. Very cool.
Love,
Dave
