We don't need no water let the mo..


When we took off from Midland International Airport we got a chance to see some of the local grass fire damage, and an Albq area fire. When our plane departed from Albq to Orlando we saw more extensive wildfires in the Florida panhandle.

Used Car Lot


So between the two of us Belinda and I have 4 vehicles. We have our 2002 Jetta TDi with 90,000 miles, 1996 Nissan King Cab with 140,000 miles with broken glass, 1993 GMC 1500 Sierra with no A/C and valvetrain problems, and a 1979 CJ-5 that runs like a champ but needs work pass inspection. Furthermore I have a 7,000 lb 20 foot trailer that I have been using to tow the Jeep with until my GMC crapped out.

Hess expects Belinda and I to be fully moved to Houston by the end of July. I don't want to haul the two extra pick-ups to Houston and try to sell them there. Belinda does have whats called an X-Plan through Hess that allows us to purchase a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar, or Land Rover for roughly cost. The Jetta has tremendous fuel economy, sunroof, heated seats, power everything, and we don't want to get rid of it, however its starting to get some mileage on it. We have planned on selling both our trucks and purchasing a vehicle that will tow 7,000lbs and be a reasonable daily driver.

Houston...WAGONS EAST!


Its pretty much official, other than Belinda signing the paperwork, that she reports in Houston June 1st. The great thing is there will be a moving package involved.

As for the house, it was on the market 3 days when we bought it back in Sept less than a year ago. We have made some major improvements with numerous 'details' around the house that haven't been finished. The walls in the kitchen, living room, and hallway need to be textured and painted along with the installing the baseboards that we removed to finish the floors.

Snoop Dog's Favorite Rain, Drizzle


This morning is the first time it has rained in Seminole all year. The area has been plagued with some pretty extensive wildfires consuming thousands of acres.

Sexy Bikini.


I got bored the other day and decided to put the extra bikini top on the Jeep .

New Camera.

Belinda and I are looking at a new digital camera to replace our aging our Pentax Optio 60 before we go to Florida. I don't have any idea were to start.

Jetta B.


This flying insect (bee?) has been in this exact spot in the Jetta for about 4 months now. I have cleaned the Jetta since then but I haven't had the heart to remove it. Serves as a warning to others, when you fly into my car I will roll up the windows and leave you in there.
