Quarter to three

Why yes I'd love to sit outside on the deck.. But first.. Let me get the bug repellent, wear the long sleeve shirts, tuck my pants into my socks, get my bee mask on, light the smoke sticks..  Oh, you don't want to wait that long.. NEITHER DO I...  Seriously the fucking bugs are... worse than they have ever been.. I don't remember them ever being this bad.. They fly up your nose, in your ears.. in your mouth... My diet now consists of bugs.. Hey it's protein.. it counts.. 

We got this letter from Verizon.. The cellphone company we belong to.. Turns out they figured out how to shut one of our old.. OLD phones off.. See we were just gonna use them until they stopped working.. I use mine to call people, not to text, not view videos (it never could watch videos, or pictures either).. And so we get this letter telling us it will be shut off from 90% of what it was designed for.. Except the calling part which we have been told still means it won't work.. Guess we'll see in September.. But here's the ticker.. Mom's phone  is older by like two years, maybe three.. And she, like me, rarely use the phone, but what I don't get is the phone I use (I call it mine but it actually the secondary phone of moms) is newer but will be turned off.. Like I was thinking her phone with the stone wheels will get to keep working, and mine with the wooden wheels will turned off.. Mine is slightly more modern.. WHAT GIVES...  Oh well.. And you would think I would be thinking oh great, I'll get a new modern phone.. That isn't my way.. When this phone is gone I won't care, I almost never use it.. Almost never use it.. ALMOST.. No that's not true, I use it regularly.. I look at the clock on it whenever we are wherever.. But as far as using the phone.. I could give a shit..  I'm of the old school thinking, if you can't get a hold of me I think of that as a good thing..  Plus looking at the internet wherever you are, do you know how stupid that looks??  People walking around with their heads down looking these fucking things.. They could just as well be retarded because it's the same thing... ZOMBIES....


Channel 9 out of Denver has their internet channel on the Roku now.. And not just the Nowhereman version, they are on with a true channel.. So now we can see the internet version of the news on the roku, and it is expanded a bit with stories on VOD.. So that means now we have KNOP out of North Platte, and 10-11 out of Grand Island/Hastings/Omaha...  Kinda cool to have two Nebraska and the Denver "leader" in news and sports on there.. They also have the channel out of Cheyenne but I stopped watching it..

Using the potting mix to start the grass seed is the magic "bullet" to getting that to grow.. Finally, and truth be told almost too late.. There are three places that need reseeding and it has to be done in the first week of July, the Thursday after the forth.. Hoping it will grow fast enough to get several cuttings before the end of the season in October, knowing it slows growth several times during the summer.. 

We got RAIN last night.. Got a shitload of wind too... But as the storm was approaching I was looking at the internet and the radar and what was heading our way was hail filled and fun looking.. As it approached I kept thinking well here's what I will lose, and going through the list of everything.. What will I do when it is gone?? Well the gas meter area tomatoe plants will be tilled and that area returned to grass, although hard to get grass to grow there when established, might be hard to get it to grow back in July, but I'd give it a try.. The pumpkins would likely just be tilled and tilled like I was planning to do to try to control the weeds... The Earth box would be the only tomatoes that I would try to grow back.. And that is a maybe.. Remember when I never planted anything, and didn't care about the weather at all??? I don't remember that day.. It was.. quite a while ago..
