Charlie in Texas Says...

Nothing exciting happened last weekend worth mentioning other than on Friday some friends and I went "midnight bowling" at Lewisville Lanes. You know, when they turn out the lights and its dark and yet you're held to the same standards of play. I stink up the joint when the lights are on full blast for god’s sake. What twelve year old came up with this idea and aren’t they like forty by now? Close up shop people.

Saturday was very quiet. Laying around with my dog watching movies. I must say that i really liked the new M. Night Shyamalan movie "Devil". Very suspenseful. I bet the book would be even better if it existed. Does it? Wait. Who am I talking to?

So anyway, Sunday I went off. Laundry, carpet cleaning, mowing, edging and spraying weeds filled my entire day. I was basically Hank Hill, sans consuming canned Alamo beer in the alley.

I want the yard to look fantastic this year without weeds, or bare patches, but it’s impossible on the cheap (or even on the moderate) when one bag of weed and feed costs $45.00 and you need eight bags. At least that’s what the price was at the Lowe’s in Flower Mound. So i bought the cheaper “mix-it-yourself” spray stuff. Doesn’t seem as safe to me...lots of chemicals. If i grow a nipple on my leg or something I'll know who to go after. Trust me, I’ll do just that, after I briefly play with the new nipple of course.
