Now for the BAD NEWS and the BAD-BAD NEWS.

I was real excited this morning YEA we finally have running water. No more hauling Pattie water, but when we turned off all the faucets (we had them on to see when the pipes were free running) it still sounded like my clothes washer was filling faster then it usually did. Jerry asked if I was washing clothes? I said are you kidding, NO WAY. Well the bad news is we do have a major busted pipe and not just any easy fix pipe but in between the floor and the sub floor yuck. I tried to call our insurance to see if we have coverage, "Our offices are closed at this time. Callback during business hours." I also called the morgagGood News e place and got the same answer. What are you suppose to do on weekends?

Today I finally got to see some BLUE SKY

It is so nice to see BLUE SKY again, I thought it had gone away forever. It is still cold outside and the wind is getting back to the usual so that means the Wind Chill is bad but there is hope. WE HAVE BLUE SKY OVER TEXAS,  YEA YEA YEAA!!

We are having a HEAT WAVE

Well it has finally decided to warm up some, it is all of 8 now and going to be 22 high today. Still going to cool off again tonight but it's the last cold night til Monday night, maybe it will though enough to see if any of the pipes are frozen. Guess I'll be crawling under the trailer to check them out. Lord give me the knowledge to fix things the right way. Jerry can tell me what to do but with his bad back he can not go under the trailer.

I'm finally at the Library so I'll try to post from here. HA HA

This has really been a crazy time since I set up my BLOG. For about a year now we have been down to one means of transpertation. Normaly we have two Ford Rangers (same exact color, one '89 - mine we have had since '92 and a '91 4x4 - Jerry's we have had for 3 years now) for the last year or so one or the other has had trouble, either the transmission has gone out or the brakes or on mine the over drive went out so the mechanic said we could drive it  in regeluar drive til it went out - well it did, it had no power at all. It would barley make it up the little hill as you leave Canyon, Tx (if you know the Panhandle you know it is a VERY LITTLE HILL) so we took it in and had the transmission changed along with the fuel pump, plugs, wires, all the belts and anything else he could think of. Sure glad Jerry went to school with him and they are good friends or I would not have trusted him. Guess that is one good advantage of living all your life where you were born (both of us, he has always even lived in the same house for 73 years next month), so mine is running fairly good now but it is getting really bad gas miles and the lights are real dim and hard to see with after dark, so he has been taking we to work every day in my '89 and getting me in his '91. Fine and dandy but now it seems his transmission is going out so we are back down to one vehicle. Oh well what would life be without it's little challenges, really boring if you ask me.

Well this is all for now, will have more later when I get back to the Library or get out on my own again.

I can not believe I am doing this from my EVO.

YEA! I have it figured out on how to post from my phone. This has to be the best Birthday pressant ever. My 61st Birthday was the 18th. Will post more when I have more time. Jerry is needing some HELP with something.
