Sheesh.. it is springtime in Texas, alright.. The day started all bright and shiny.. Uncovered the Green One and did a quick washdown and wipe.. Cleaned the rear wheel, chain and drive sprocket.. Got the chain lubed and took it around the block.. Smooth as a spanked baby's bottom.. Dangit.. just can't stand all this .. I gotta do me a little run today.. Took me a quick run through the shower, raked off the whiskers .. Hey.. I'm ready to do it.. right ? WRONG.!! By the time I got the Green One backed out of the patio.. WHAMMO... the bottom fell out and here it comes, again.. This time.. the sky was beautiful, just a very few little cottony clouds and bright as a new penny.. Dammit.. So far.. it has been booming, busting and getting darker .. Enough Already... I can hear that grass growing and I wouldn't be surprised to find a car body or two nestled in the yard.. It is a holiday and the mexican is enjoying her extra day off.. She always looks forward to the long weekends.. That's when she does her flower bed thingy and keeps me hopping back and forth with her little honey do's.. (that is .. if I am silly enough to hang around) hmmm.. She really don't like for me to mess with her plants and stuff.. Seems like I have a habit of getting motor oil, spray paint or some other distasteful (to her plants) chemical, all over the place.. She would rather I stay the hell away from those flowers and plants.. Anyway.. here we are.. all penned down with this wild weather.. She's all antsy about not being able to get out.. I'm all depressed because of our Texas Spring weather and nothing seems to be according to any plan for tranquility.. Damn.. if I could just arrange a trip to the mall, she'd be easier to live with.. No one wants to go with her, and I'd rather work in the yard than go shopping.. Phew.. life do get teejous, don't it ? Regards.. Your Friend in Irving Bill Walker
