Early start to Jan 2, 12

I Think I figered out what is waking me up so early.  With the heater running here , my skin is of course dry and it makes my legs itch like crazy. That is what is waking me up so dang early  I feel pretty sure ( 4:45AM this morning) .  So I come in here and slather up with with my Lubriderm and go 'head and make the coffee.  ( you know an aspirin will help with some skin itches? ) Course it drives the cats bonko that I don't feed them immediately.

Where to start?   Ok, last night is a good place. I got a phone call just after sunset from the guy that has been getting all of the stored stuff outta my barn.  He and his wifie wanted to come load up the last of it. Shoot, it's late but come git it gone!!! and it is!!  Got my clean barn floor back. I can even drive and turn around my JD in there now. and I am going to Keep it cleaned out!!
So starting off the year with the headache out of my hair.
After they finally got loaded and gone I finished off my left over lunch and promply got "heavy eye" and dozed off for a few minutes.  ( don't know how the TV show ended.) :-(

Checked mail and answered a couple but one from Jim Boatman had a link that ended up taking up some time.  IF you are a Texan or a wannabe  Texan, you'll enjoy this fellow's work.  He is Wyman Meinzer,  and is the  Texas State Photographer and he has a page you can look at some of his work capturing Wild Texas.   Pour ya a cuppa and plan of spending some time viewing his Texas  scenes and shows at this link TEXAS , Wide Open Spaces.  When the first one ends, Click on another link for  some more  of his work.
Seeing his scenes brings back memories of places in Texas I have seen and drags up the wanderlust of places I still need to see.   someday I guess.
Only thing I got planned so far today ( already paid the one small bill sittin here) is to git this DirecTV order canceled.   Would like to get that done before the installer guy shows up.  Not real worried cause what I have heard they ain't real prompt on showing up when they say they will.

The 123rd Annual Tournament of Roses Parade starts at 10 AM here so gonna watch that.

8:30 AM, Whoopie!!! Finally got a live person on the phone about canceling the direct TV offer. The ONLY one I could get to answer is the salesman that came by. All the other numbers were either out of service or just never answered. Feel better about for sure.
So, now what I'm gonna do rest of the day, AFTER the Rose Parade that is?

Early Afternoon   And it dawned on me  that we in Texas got a bunch of new laws that took effect Jan 1  You can sort through them and if you click the bill number on the left side it'll give you the option of what program you want to open it with to read the details.  Anyway, Here they all are.. New Laws 

7PM After supper update and What is it?   Tonight again I had a little flying mini bug zipping  around. Slapped him down on a sheet of paper. Then got my stationary magnifier and digital camera in an attempt to get a picture fo you.  Best I can do ..   What the hell is it?  Can you blow it up enough to see what it is?
