the good the bad the ugly

THE GOOD THE BAD THE UGLY
there was a lot of this going around here this weekend

the horns won
they just beat the heck out of the sooners
where oh where have they been all season
heres hoping they play like this the rest of the season
then mack can retire with some dignity
it is time you know

the hogs lost well they lost bad
theyve got a lot of ugly games to go
not a good season im afraid

thanks goodness the cowboys won
but they did lose two starters ware and murray

the ugly occurred as the texans fans cheered as
their quarterback lay on the ground injured
tasteless like the eagles fans
heck they booed santa claus one time

then we got a ton of rain around here
it flooded things in austin and the surrounding areas
of course we only got a 1/4 inch
thats the ugly
but
i did get to do a lot of ranch work here at the country n
before the rain started

the acl fest day two was canceled as the zilker park was
partially under water
some bands went to local venues and played anyway
good ole austin

then something happened and sewage got mixed in with
all that runoff
wonder where it goes and do you want to ski swim or
fish wherever it goes
dont think i would

all that rain still may not have happened enough on the watershed
of the lake travis and the other highland lakes that supply much
of the water around here
well see as the week progresses

in south austin a lady who was 6 months pregnant did not
heed that warning
dont drown just turn around
she had to be rescued
she couldnt get her windows down to get out
so someone came and broke her windows and pulled
her to safety

folks thats one of my fears is running into deep water
and not being able to lower my windows to climb out
so
in two of my vehicles i have the old type of roll down windows
this aint going to happen to me

then
you know im a big supporter of obamacare
so i was successful yesterday in opening up an account
and answering all those security questions
now which pet was that was my favorite
hope i can remember the answers

then
when i excitedly tried to go farther to complete the applications
it failed
granted on sunday am i couldnt get on my credit unions website
or my investment website either

hopefully i will be able to finish this up
since i have 2 more months to do it
just hope others not as motivated as i am dont give up

so it was
a good
a bad
a ugly
weekend

the organicgreen doctor

what a weekend, dont call me

WHAT A WEEKEND IT WAS
i have a rule watching sporting events
no matter the score
even if my team is losing
i always watch the whole game from
start to finish
unless of course i fall asleep
which is a frequent occurrence
but
with dvr im able to watch the ending
eventually

this weekend however i broke my rule
when i was watching the byu texas game
i watched as much as i could stand of the game
until the third quarter
then i couldnt stand it anymore
so
i turned it off
and the next day i even erased the dvr
i had made of the game

yes i broke the rule my long time rule
i couldnt stand to watch those horns not tackle someone

even i know after not playing football for nearly 50 years
you cant tackle a rugby player with just your arms
or a bum legged quarterback

how embarrassing that performance was

yes manny your head had to roll the next day
thats the way the game is played now

now
how do you learn how to tackle in 1 week
you dont

it my friends could be a long season for horn fans


thank goodness the cowboys won and looked good
doing it
so the weekend wasnt a total loss

hogs won but samford
4800 students
think a rice like school
i always think sanford and sons when i hear that name
only winning by a few points isnt a good sign either


wait isnt that the new arkansas a sign
johnny and aggies won and he i think kept his mouth shut
and his autographs to himself
thank you coach sumlin

cant wait until next week am vs alabama at college station
what a game to watch next week

johnnys the guy, hog man, freeze, meals

JOHNNYS THE GUY

well all those aggies are sure happy after this week
they and i thought this would be a bad year in the sec
he fooled them didnt he
and fooled us

johnny football
johnny heisman
johnny manziel
watched him accept the heisman trophy on saturday night
he along with the other two guys seemed to all three
be classy guys
not what you expect from college football players sometimes

makes you have some hope for the future for that generation
with kids like that representing them

HOG MAN


new football coach bret beilema seems to be the right guy
for this program
heck its a sign
his destiny
since he grew up on a hog farm  and use to have to call
the hogs every day
just seems the right fix
destiny if you will

hell bring a new no nonsense attitude to this team and some
stability they need

he plays smash mouth football and good defense
lets see who else does that
oh yeah bama

FREEZE
its going to freeze tonight
here at the country n it may be in the low 20s
what a shocker for us and those plants and my garden
it was in the 80s and shorts weather yesterday
now its going to be tundra weather for a day or two

be sure and protect your plants
cover them with blankets or row cover
water them all well today
check your pipes and water lines to make sure they are all
protected
here at the country n we will be dripping our faucets tonight to
keep the lines from freezing
and
getting that wood burning stove fired up to keep our place warm

dont forget your pets if they stay outside
they need extra protection from the cold

MEALS

one day a week i deliver meals on wheels to people
near where i live
there are only 7 people on the route but they are scattered
over a 20+ mile route
it takes about 1 1/2 hour to deliver the meals to these needy folks
i enjoy it
some of the folks only see one person that day and thats me so
i try to spend a few seconds with them when i deliver the meals

they are in great need of people to deliver this route
other routes are ran by regular volunteers
some from church groups some from home school groups
some who like me just want to volunteer and some moms and
their preschool kids
im sure the older folks enjoy seeing the kids
some deliver once a month some twice a month
and some like me once a week

if you have a group like this or if you are an individual and would
like to help
to run this route that runs from north leander to north of liberty hill
please call
denise at the williamson county meals on wheels program in leander
at 512-259-0288

they need our help
give
