Thursday, the day after my last post, we had a nice Texas spring storm. The wind blew ~80 MPH for about 45 minutes solid and of course, we lost power during the entire thing. It claimed two huge sections of my fence, and detached another part and angled it out into the street for me.... how nice of it. Also, I lost 8 shingles from the Southwestern corner of my roof. Down the street a few blocks from me, there were huge trees 2.5 feet in diameter snapped like toothpicks, laying out int he street and on people fences and houses. I saw a few people who lost their entire fence. I had already replaced 4 of my fence posts with steel posts after previous storms took their lives.
So I spent all Friday evening digging out the old fence posts that had snapped, and most of Saturday morning/afternoon getting the damn thing repaired. Again, I have to say, anyone that does not like migrant workers in their country should have to go do the type of work they do for a day or two, and then make their decision.
Saturday was Cinco De Mayo, so I went to a party at my friend's house, and drank many Tecates and watched the De La Hoya fight. De La Hoya lost, so I lost 50 bucks.
Sunday I had some sort of wicked relapse with whatever bug I had in my stomach. I spent the entire day crapping mostly water out my ass. Because of this, I have yet to complete my massive closet cleaning process.
Good times.
