Complaining on facts already entered


Well i've been here in Alpine for nearly two weeks now and i have used up a months worth of Valium just trying to stay sane. Geez, if you don't want to see me write something where all i do is complain, change the channel cause honey it don't get no better than this!!!!

To begin, i drink an inordinate amount of caffeine free regular Dr Pepper. I brought a couple of 12 packs with me so that i'd have some till i got to the store. The store, let's call it "Porkers" didn't have any but they would have some the next day. Okay no sweat, i'll drink something else. The next day, went to Porkers and they had 2. 2?? Yep, 2. That was the entire shipment for the week but he said he would tell the Dr Pepper guy, he did and the next week i got six. Okay, tragedy overted for the nonce! And if you don't get the Dr Pepper thing, you just don't know me well enough.

Then there is the whole getting online thing. There is a place here called the la tratorilla or something of that nature, but putting fifty chairs where twenty people can sit, just didn't work for me. Oh yeah the other place is on murphy and fifth but they aren't open till noon. C'est la Guerre.

All of the projects for my mother should have taken about a week to do and that would have left me with a couple of weeks to make my trebuchet and my giant white board and anything else i wanted to do with my tools that seem to have a permanent home with her. Needless to say that everything has taken five times longer and has cost three times as much and i am at the point where all i really want to do is just go home.

I know i can get a 1 X 4 at lowes for a couple bucks and Dr Pepper is between two fifty and three, not the four sixty nine they have it at here. Yes, i knew this coming down here, but when it takes you three days to replace a lavatory faucet because the people at the lumber yard are that stupid, maybe chemical castration is a viable alternative to little Clevon getting to breed.

On a bright note i did find some of that purple lotion my wife loves at the hardware all-in-two store. So i did accomplish something this week. I Love Vacations!!!!! D
