Man, this stupid cold has knocked me down. No incentive to do anything. I should be riding today since it’s beautiful outside, but that would require me to do something.
ML is breaking through her meds again and driving Nina nuts. Nina is thinking about putting her in a home again. both of us are trying to figure out how this woman is still alive. She’s got no meat on her frame and I’m guessing she weighs about 80 pounds, could be less. During the day she’s fine, but at night she just gets downright bitchy. Her nurse says that it’s not the meds and it’s just her being her. Makes sense to me!
Temperature is going to drop tomorrow but shoot back up on Thursday. Going to see if Joe and Dennis will meet in Pecos for lunch on Thursday. It’s been quite some time since the 3 of us got together. I see Dennis here in the store and I see Joe here in the store, but never together it seems.
I’m still feeling punk. Sneezing, sore throat, very tired, and irritable. The irritability may be normal, but I’m claiming it as a symptom right now. I’ve also got a low grade fever.
This weekend I had the bike out twice, once alone and on Sunday with Nina. It was nice riding with her again, it’s been a while. Did the breakfast thing at Harry’s Roadhouse and lunch with HOG at La Plancha in Eldorado. We had a nice time with the group and spent about 2 hours there.
Poker on Thursday? A game’s been called, but I’m not comfortable with the no limit games. I can lose enough money with the $3 limit on every other week without attending a no limit game.
Yeah, I’m an idiot, but it was so beautiful out yesterday and I needed to go out for a ride. OK, I may not be sick, but I felt like shit. Allergies? Cold of some sorts? I’m not sure, but shit is how I felt. It was energizing being out and about on the bike again, but I still felt like shit.
I went to Santa Fe and stopped at the Jeep dealership and signed my order for my new car, a Dodge Hellcat in a very sharp blue with bronze wheels. Top speed of 200 m.p.h. and at $70K I should not attract much police attention, right? RIGHT?
After the Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler dealership, I headed to H-D. Spent an hour or so there and drank coffee and ate donuts. I checked my office there and it’s gathering parts it appears. Since I’m only there once or twice a week, I guess it’s OK to store shit there. Good donuts!
Another friend is leaving the area. Joe Sandoval is selling the B&B and moving to Albuquerque. Of course he still has to sell it, but it will sell. AND that peckerwood is engaged and he didn’t tell me. He thought he mentioned it to me, but he didn’t and I had to find out through some shitty general email to his customers. Thanks PAL. Seriously, I hope you sell that dump and have a happy life with Dannielle and the girls.
Today, we have a ride from the dealership to a local restaurant in Eldorado, La Plancha. I’ve been there twice, once with Catherine and then again with Nina. Not a bad place. I’m hoping for a large turnout and a pleasant ride.
+ I got my lot graded.
– It was windy and dusty while doing it.
+ I also graded the road to the storage units.
+ I also was able repair much of the damage the construction company did to that road during the time they were there.
– I had to berm the area over the piping crossing the road.
– I don’t have enough gravel to do so properly. $$$
– I was informed they start the 3 phase of construction next week.
+ As soon as the 3rd phase is complete, we can list this place for sale.
+ I graded Catherine’s drive today too. $50!
+ & – The day was beautiful and I was going to take the afternoon to ride.
– The bike wouldn’t start! DAMN IT! It had been weeks since I started it and it was DEAD!
– My battery charger was missing! JEANNIE! NEVER AGAIN WILL I LEND YOU OR YOUR FAMILY ANY OF MY SHIT! NEVER!
– I ran to town to get a new charger and left my bike on the trickle charger.
+ It started when I got home and I let it run for 15 minutes while I talked with Dennis.
– It was too late to do the ride I had planned. DAMN YOU JEANNIE!
+ Tomorrow is supposed to be another beautiful day!
+ Sunday is another beautiful day. HOG ride and lunch planned.
– I don’t trust the weatherliars!
Jeannie has a lung infection that had her complaining about pain at work. She went tot he clinic from there to the hospital. She has a lung infection. Meds will knock it out. She’s had this before. Nina and I are glad that she’s going to be fine.
Leroy Hernandez of Clogbuster’s Plumbing managed to screw me over again. Thanks Leroy, you piece of shit. It turns out that after he walked off the job without warning, the sceptic tank he left behind is really a cistern. I have no need for a cistern. This tank will be demolished in the hole it sits.
I have a piece of his equipment here still and I will make it disappear to screw him over just a little bit. It’s his narrow bucket for his backhoe. Plumbers need these to run lines.
I will not be using local talent anymore for any reason. I’ve been so disappointed in the past and present, so now I will use fully licensed contractors for ANYTHING! Anyone I use for any repairs, remodel, addition, or new regs will be fully vetted and must give references.
I am a husband, father, grandfather, friend, business owner, traveller, Harley rider, citizen, patriot, gun owner, politically eclectic person of strange personal habits. I support police, trust no politicians, and can argue any side of an argument just to amuse myself. People love me or hate me and those that are in-between don't know me.
