ALL THIS AND A FREE LOVE SEAT TO BOOT...

Had to have 40 winks after the hike...on my free love seat...the pattern is so rent to own. Ann took this picture...and if you didn't already know , pictures of people asleep are how they will die...I will die on a love seat with my Irene...can't complain about that.
I finished the table...cool , huh?
Fuck yeah...

My squash is bored

Squash borers have moved in, but for now the plants still look healthy.  It's just a matter of time now to see if the plants can hang on long enough to give us any squash or if they are going to wilt and die right away.

 

HIGH AS FUCK



:P

BULL CREEK

A very nice morning hike...
A good time was had by all...
The grrrls love this place...
Me too...

FLESH ON THE SPIT

Carnitas...
With sweet onion and pineapple and pear...
You can't go wrong...

NOW IF I CAN JUST LEAVE IT ALONE TIL THE THIN SET DRIES...




I have an itchy grout finger...:P.
I think it turned out OK...I love my ball peen hammer.

Took the grrrls to lost creek this morning...very nice.

PAYDAY FRIDAY!

Jesus wants you to have a good time...so have one already.
Porch light...
Home...
Sisters...Missed it by that much...
I ran out of thin set...dammit!!!My plan was to finish setting tile and grout tomorrow...I'll still grout tomorrow...only later than I figured.
Go figure.

Cheeseburgers with sweet potato fries...yeah.

AND I EVEN WENT TO WAL-MART


What you see before you is a Frito - chili - cheese burrito hand made by me...Roberto Juan Gonzales Espinoza Guadalupe Clattenburg.
Take a can of chili w/ no beans and heat in a sauce pan until hot...or as we Clattenburgs are fond of saying caliente.
Stir in a generous portion of Frito - lay Fritos and an ass load of colby jack cheese.
Roll it up in a giant flour tortilla Taco Bell style and cover with Monterrey Jack cheese...pop it in the oven for 5 short and damn... Stoner food deluxe!
Took the grrrls to the fence tonight...Layla also loves ground balls...I ran her ass ragged...
Went to wal-mart for a high pressure nozzle and some lights for the bird baths.
On a sad note , Nugget the box turtle passed away yesterday...I buried her by the bird baths ... because it seemed like the right thing to do.
Early early day tomorrow...good night Irene!

THREE DOGS...THREE ( VERY ) SHORT STORIES

THEO...
Today I brought home a soft foam frisbee for Layla and Theo came out to see what all the fuss was about and had one of his ( as I like to call them ) childlike moments. He jumped on the new toy and we played for a few minutes. This happens every once and a while and it's very cool to see him regress like that.

IRENE...
On our now nightly walks in the hood , all the neighborhood dogs talk shit as we walk by from the safety of their back yards...Irene talks back to them , turning her head to the noisy yards on the left and the right , but keeps on walking in perfect heel mode. It's like she's saying " I'd like to stop and chat , but I'm on a jaunt with my Dad and my sister".It's all in that little monkey noise she makes...

LAYLA...
I was not motivated to walk with the grrrls tonight , but Lay needed some exercise. So I took her out front with the ball , but she wasn't having any of that. She sniffed forlornly at the truck door and then went to the mailbox ( where I hang the leashes ) and nudged her leash several times and looked at me expectantly.
We went for our walk....:)

PROGRESS





This is a really satisfying project...The art mojo has apparently returned.

ANOTHER PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY...


Layla and I take it up a notch...fetch the ball over the silt fence. She was amazing.
I made turkey club quesadillas for dinner...
They were tasty.
Turning my attention to the back deck , we had this old PVC table and a shitload of scrap tile. I had some thin set and got busy.
Back in the day my Dad made these acrylic doo-dads with arrowheads and scorpions and stuff in them. I found a bunch of them today and decided to incorporate them into the table.
When it's all said and done , it'll get a charcoal grout and some waterproof sealant.
Stay tuned...

FLOWERS I HAVE NOT KILLED












Have a great Sunday.

ANOTHER MOTHERFUCKER IN A MOTORCADE

During the house cleaning I was searching for a 8x11 1/2 frame and found this...I had forgotten all about this rocking partitioned version of the last supper.
Of course I had to ruin it with this classic Red Meat...Priest: Heavenly Father , sometimes I feel powerless to help my fellow man see the wisdom of your way.How can I inspire them to walk in righteousness?
GOD : I don't know , if it was me , I'd turn their water supply into an assload of flies or something.But I'm a bastard that way.
Truer words were never spoken.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND


Did a major clean on the house in anticipation of our old neighbor and dear friend Jen coming over with her boyfriend for a cook out.
I did the traditional hot dogs and carnita's kabob's with red onion and anahiem pepper. I made the mistake of scratching my nose while I was preparing the peppers...let's just say I'm glad I scratched my nose instead of having a pee and leave it at that. Damn...hot.
A good time was had by all...They are moving to Lubbock soon. They will be missed.

DOGS

I took the grrrls for a neighborhood walk tonight back to the new under construction gated community and let them run around for a bit. Layla is such a fast runner ( and she jumps ) so I always think of the agility training thing. And then I spotted this...a reasonable facsimile anyway , since I didn't have my camera.
A silt fence...So I'm thinking hurdles , and call Layla and run and jump over it. She runs up and is tentative at first , but by the second run she had it down. We jumped back and forth over that fence about 10 times...it was fantastic and she was clearly digging it. Irene even got in on it for 4 or 5.
On the other dog front...there are lots of dogs on my route...some are very cool and some want to kill me. There is one in particular that fucking loves me , follows me around the whole time spanging for pets...she rules.
I leave you with this...

SUPER SUNDAY

So I was hanging out on the porch with Ann and the grrrls and it turned into an all night thing...we had visitors and everything.
I got to looking at Irene and I realized she's not a spring chicken anymore...so much gray. I got sad for a minute and then I realized that she had earned all that gray spending her life with me...we have been together for so many years and she is so young at heart. I was about to say "I'll miss her when she's gone" and realized how fucking maudlin that would be so I say instead "she's my baby girl and I love our time together".
I found the power supply cord for my RP-6 effects pedal (missing in action for years) and finally got around to playing with it. It was fun...and loud...and on the front porch.
I made butterfly chops with papa's guisada and onion with carmelized onion and bacon sauce.
And finally I made a table for the porch...and I arted it up with some nail action.

Gotta go to bed!
