This is one of those days that I will not touch on politics very much. It was a beautiful Saturday and I had lots of "honey-do's" planned out. The very first thing I was going to do was to move dirt up into my back yard, around the swimming pool, so we could level the ground up and make a patio. Then we were planning to start a fence today and try to finish tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately for me, I broke the valve stem on one of the back big tires on the tractor right off the bat this morning so that kinda took the wind out of my sails for today's work. We couldn't have hauled very much dirt without the tractor involved. This is Paris Texas, and there is no chance of getting a tractor tire fixed on a weekend. I guess all the places that fix big tires figures nobody will need flats fixed on the weekends.
Our swimming pool still has water issues and it's time to get it up and running. I must mention that I have a 80 pound Labrador retriever that is most of our swimming pool problems. He swims in all the farm ponds around the place and then proceeds to cool off in our backyard swimming pool every opportunity he gets. Therein lies the need for the fence. What I wish I had was a good shock collar to put on him to correct him when he gets into the pool. Not only would it stop him from getting into the pool I'd get some of my evil desires fulfilled hearing him holler. hehe.. I love that dog but he sure is ornery! You should hear some of the stories about this dog, he's been chased by a demonic deer several times, he's been ran over by our Yukon XL, and he accidently ran into a tree the other day. This dog has provided me with lots of enjoyment by the situations he's put himself in. He sure can make me laugh!
I do have some politics to talk about. Why in the world is the price of gas getting so high again? I hear that we have all time levels of oil and gas and demand is down; so why the price hike? It all sounds like a fix is in, and this is the one segment of our economy that is not based on the free market. I understand these folks need to be making a profit, but they need not bankrupt our country in the process. Gasoline was selling for under $2 not long ago and the oil companies were still making a profit. If any other industry pulled something like this then there would be charges of collusion brought by the government.
Thank God it's summer time now. We had a long cold winter and a wet spring. It's nice to go outside now and hear the birds singing and it's all nice and warm out. It makes a man sleep better at night when he's been outside in the heat all day working. Now, if I could just get my two teenagers done with school in the next couple of weeks.;) Hopefully we'll get back after it on Monday and have a productive week. This week we'll be discussing illegal immigration, the evil's of welfare mama's, and why Obama and Hillary need to go home.haha
