26 May 2020 + a Little

26 May: I talked with my parents on Skype today. They are doing fine but still would like for me to move back to Texas. They have been trying to get me to move back for about 9 years now. Sometimes I think I should. I know that I cannot do much for them except maybe give them a ride places. I do have 3 sisters and a brother still in the area plus many nieces and nephews. Yeah, I’m the oldest...

From Where I Left Off

Around 5:30 pm our power had about 10 glitches, surges and outages for about a half hour. At 6 pm the power went out and it stayed out until 11:30 am the next day. That’s 17 1/2 hours without power. That sucks and it was hot. We decided that we are going to get a generator on next payday. We don’t want to have to put up with all that shit again. I will be sure to get a good generator...

14 May 2020

It’s all the way up to 14 May now. We have a tropical storm due in tonight. I think somewhere around 8 pm. I’m not sure if it’s typhoon strength yet or even if it will be by the time it gets here but I’m not worried either way. It will be nice to have the rain and the wind probably won’t be that bad for this one. I haven’t looked up the stats on it but it’s...

Fantasy Mother Mango Fly

9 May. I just found out that there are children in the world that do not like PB&J’s. They are not allergic, they just don’t like it. I suppose because they did not grow up on them. It seems strange to me and they are the first children I’ve ever seen that do not like them. 10 May. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in my part of the world. I really hope you all have a...

May 7 and 8 Yahoo

I discovered that Yahoo Fantasy Football is already forming new leagues. I have already renewed all my leagues from last year and am actually doing a mock draft for one of my teams right now. I have 9 leagues and 10 teams (2 teams in 1 league). I am the Commissioner in all of them. I used to have more and I used to have less leagues. It seems that 10 teams is just about the right amount for me...

5 and 6 May 2020

Yesterday while at Mango Lounge I got to see a couple of friends that I haven’t seen for a while because of this COVID-19. They just stopped by for a few minutes and we had to do elbow bumps instead of handshakes, but it was good to see them. I hear that another of my friends may be heading for Mango today, if he can get there. If he goes, I’ll probably stop by there again to see him. I...

More 3 and now 4 May 2020

I went back to Mango Lounge again today to pick up my pizza and cheese sticks. Of course, while I was there I played a few games of dominoes to try to redeem myself from yesterday. I told Christian it would not be as easy today because I was not tired and sweaty. He’s confident though (I like that). We played 5 games, I won 5 games. One of the games was really close, 2 were kind of close and...

3 May 2020

Yesterday I ordered from Lazada again. I ordered a 960 gb external hard drive and a bar speaker for my TV in the bedroom. It’s very difficult to hear our TV when we play movies on it. When watching TV it’s fine, but not recorded movies from a thumb drive. I hope the deliveries show up. I have a difficult time with the delivery company Ninja Express. They only seem to be able to find my house about half...
