<br />
You don't have to live on the coast to feel the effects of a hurricane, it travels where it wants. We just happen to have been in the traveling path a few times here. I watched as one was blowing it's way through,. standing on the front porch you have the best view for these events.<br />
<br />
Over time you learn to listen and watch the reports that come from the various media accounts, you stock up on candles, ice, water propane, generator fuel and things that will see you through. Then all hell breaks loose. First you watch the sky for signs of what's to come. you feel the wind increasing, the rains starts falling, the media increases their warnings, the power goes out, the phones go out.......nothing now but the fury from the storm.<br />
The sounds you hear from mother natures song is quite revealing of her power. You feel the thunder as it roll, the electricity in he air from the lightning makes you tingle, the constant loud thud of old huge trees falling, the spray from sideways rain, all make quite an impressive symphony for her strength.<br />
<br />
After several hours comes an eerie calm, a quietness prevails, only sounds are those of emergency vehicles.<br />
<br />
Neighbors start leaving the comfort of their homes, you exchange stories and news, you don't dare venture very far from your neighborhood, not yet anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was during this latest event that I met her. Her home was damaged some what from this storm, she asked if I would give a bid for repairs for her insurance company. This was the beginning of a nice friendship.<br />
<br />
I moved away for a year or so and was pleased to see she still lived in the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
She came by to visit me about two weeks after I was finished moving back in. She caught me up on all the happenings while I was away.<br />
<br />
Then......<br />
<br />
She started telling me about her new boy friend, how he treated her meanly, cursed her, threatened her, took her phone away from her, wouldn't let her see or talk to her friends or family.....she revealed he was an alcoholic and was addicted to crack.<br />
<br />
I asked the most common question "why don't you just leave him?"<br />
<br />
Her answer, he threatens to kill me and members of my family if I leave, she said. He has beaten me and spat on me, cursed me, stolen my money so I couldn't go any where or do any thing, she related.<br />
<br />
Why do you go back to him then I asked.<br />
<br />
Cause he always promises he will change and not do those things again but within a week or two he is right back at it.<br />
<br />
What good are cracked and unkept promises I asked....she replied with the standard I know...but...<br />
<br />
This is a sad day for me, I will miss her, he finally kept one of his promises, I will attend her funeral tomorrow.....<br />

This is such a story and I will try and keep it short here, I will not mention names..<br />
<br />
I first met his Mom, we started dating. She has a 13yr old son. This story is more about him than us.<br />
<br />
He exemplified potential, bright, handsome, world class athlete but there was an obvious dark side. Behind the smile you could feel the anger.<br />
At first I had no idea while I was getting this feeling, as time went on, it all became much to apparent. Drugs, this very young man, was already at a very young age, under the lure of the mystique the drug world projects. Now, I am not talking about, the social drugs, such as marijuana, no, extasy,heroin, meth and the much too accessible prescription pills.<br />
<br />
I had no idea that our schoolchildren had such easy access to these drugs.<br />
<br />
Last Saturday night, 12yrs of knowing and observing this young man all came to an end. During these last 12yrs I had come to the point, that he was unofficially, my adopted son. This is why it has been a very hard week for me, he is dead at 25yrs old, suddenly, no warning, just dead.<br />
<br />
He had gone into a local convenient store, to sell the owner a sawed off shotgun. One that he had, "found". He was inebriated, pulling the gun from the case, he fumbled, hit the trigger, the gun went off, removing his head and face.<br />
<br />
Dead. Dead at 25yrs. Two children, a 4yr old daughter and 3yr old son, are left without a father. Too often I have read about these type of events but never experiencing it first hand, it is heart wrenching to know, that this indeed is a reality.<br />
<br />
After the memorial service, family members all gathered, pictures taken, hugs and tears are shared.<br />
I noticed or observed, that same strange, dark glare, on the face of that small boy, that had just lost his father, the same anger that I had recognized in his fathers face, 12yrs ago. Sadness welled up inside of me that I can not describe.<br />
<br />
When, these buyers, of "found" articles, are discovered, maybe then, I will have at least a small bit of piece.<br />
<br />
Sorry that I have been away for so long, only to return with a sad story but felt I had to write some of my thoughts down, so as to clear my head and cleanse my emotions.....thank you.....Bobplainolebobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08899219272697255107noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029079445335931532.post-89342152710931480662010-06-13T09:35:00.000-07:002010-06-13T09:35:06.638-07:00Moles.....MOLES.......IN MY YARD !!!!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, I'm a thinkin, I ain't goin to Lowes for sure now, Lerlene ain't a gonna make no fool outta me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I git in my truck, an head out to to Petes Seed and Feed, they got all thet stuff thar an I won't havta deal with Lerlene. I git to Petes, go inside, see that Petes there. Hey pete, whatcha got to git rid of them damned moles, hell, I got em all in my yard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ain't nuthin to it Mr.Bob, we got all the stuff right here. Got them pellets, that you spread aroun the hole, got the little trap thet ketches em, got the little werm bait, what they eat, and got the spray, what you can spray the odor they don't like, an runs em off.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Good give me plenty of all of em.This heres an all out war, ginst them mole critters.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That'll be 129.87 with tax an all Mr.Bob, an I sure hope you get rid of all of em.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, I go home, spay the yard, spread them pellets round them holes, put out, and set all them traps, and bury all them werm bait things. Real proud of my self now, got all this mole chasin, killin, stuff put out in the yard, maybe now I kin git my yard back, to its beutiful self agin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next mornin, headed to the front porch with my paper and coffee, I notice the yard has even more holes then it did yestereday. I walk out ther on the lawn an notices them damned critters had dug holes all aroun the holes what were already ther. Them pellets still layin on top of the groun, the danged werms wern't even touched, and that odor smell spay, had my yard smellin like rotten eggs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I got in my truck, headed down to have a little talk with Pete. Got ther, yelled hey Pete, I gotta bone to pick with you. I spent 130.00 dollars here yesterday, to git rid of them damned moles, hell, all they did was party down on my yard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pete says calm down there now Mr.Bob, thers more ways to get rid of them damned critters, you just lost the first battle thats all. You need more up to date ammo sounds like to me. We'll try these latest electronical devices on em. Them little critters hear this sounds and they scatters faster than ole ladies when they hear the dollar stores havin a sale on Tom Jones Records, fer half off. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now your talkin Pete, load me up, I wantta get em in the groun and run them rascals off.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That'll be $147.50 Mr. bob, an I sure hope you git rid of all of em this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I went home and put these little solar powered, electronic noise makers ever 20 feet aroun my yard. Hell, that oughta make em nervous as hell, run em off somewheres else. It makes a reall high pitched sound .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next mornin, headed to the front porch with my paper and coffee, I look out there in the yard, an have even more holes, cept now they go in circles an all over the place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Git in my truck and head back to see Pete. Git to Petes, yell out hey pete, them damned elctronic noise makers didn;t nuthin, not a damned thing, cept keep my dogs a barkin all night long. I done spent. almost 3 hunert dollars, an all i got is fat, crazy, moles , diggin even more holes than I had before. Hell, my front yard looks like target practice for beginner bomb practice. I guess I'll just haveta, tuck tail an go see Lerlene at Lowes an see whut they suggest, cause I ain't a given you no more money here. Then I stomped out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Found Lerlene, out in the garden shop, now I didn't wanta arm her with no gossip, so I didn't tell her nuthin bout my rounds with these dang moles an all the money I had done spent at Petes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What cha got to git rid of these here moles. I'm a willin to try anything, I just wantta git em outta my yard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, Mr.Bob, you don't wanna waste no money on no pellets or electronic noise makers, or none of this other stuff for that matter. Now Lester, he just goes out and pees in the yard where they are. They smell it, an they think some ones aroun, that'll git em, an they skedaddle. Try that, Lester swears by it. Hope it does the trick fer you Mr.Bob, stop by the house and ask Lester, he knows ever thing bout gettin rid of them critters.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I figured, what the hell, sounds like a great idea to me.Went down and bought a couple cases of beer and got started.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A couple of days later, went to see Lester.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lester, when he saw me, he just broke out in the biggest laffin spell you ever did see. Howdy Mr. Bob, heard you had a war a goin with them damned moles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh already heard about it I see, I said.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yep, funny as hell too. When Lerlene tole you I got rid of them moles by pissin in the yard, she forgot to tell you we live way out here with trees and such hidin our place, You shoulda come here first, hell, now everone knows what you did and are havin a laffin party. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mr.Bob, you are one crazy ole rednck, standin out in your front yard, right by that hiway ther, drinkin beer and pissin on your lawn. Hell, I heard when the state police got there and arrested you, you was drunk as a skunk. Tellin them boys to draw their guns and shoot them damned moles, damned wish I had been ther, had to be one of the funiest things I never saw.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I have gone back into my archives and edited it just a little, so that it would all publish. So here we go, "the accident that changed it all" I might note here, this is a true story, that really happened to me.<br />
Thank-you for reading this, god bless, and Big HUGS.</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />

I have been through in recent years Katrina, Rita and </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Gustaf</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">, and these are the ones that I went through on land. My biggest reason that I hate them is because what one did to me offshore.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">I can't even remember its name nor if it made it to shore only what it did to me.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">I may have related this to one or two of you before but today it has really been on my mind, and I had a nightmare about it again last night, so I figure what the hell, get it out of my system and go on about the day.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">It was an unusually cool and breezy afternoon, when we left the dock </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">headed</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> to a rig 124 miles out ,in the gulf of </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Mexico.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> We had been watching the weather reports before leaving and knew there was a storm brewing and that we probably would not be out there for too long. I was riding as 1st mate so it was my </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">responsibility</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> to take over the wheel at the sea buoy to the rig. this was a 180ft supply vessel, the trucker on the gulf, if you will. We had a crew of seven for the vessel and passengers for the rig. As we were headed out you </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">couldn't</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> help but notice, how the seas were growing and getting rougher, in fact just before we got to the rig we were radioed to keep our passengers on board and that we would be picking up about 30 more people.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
We would be doing a hurricane evacuation from the rig transporting these people back to shore for safety.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">At this point I had been at the wheel for around 14hrs already, the turn around trip would be another 10hrs, plus the time it would take to load and off load passengers from our vessel.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">This is a NORMAL procedure, but not normal weather, the loading of passengers took twice as long as normal and these guys are more used to riding helicopters to and from the rig, so they are not happy with the accomadations afforded by a supply vessel, their normal ride to the rig is about an hour by air and they would be on a vessel on the sea for over 8hrs. Most of them had no sea legs or the stomach for the ride they were getting ready to take. enough for now</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">So now we have our vessel loaded down with the </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">hands off</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> the rig, our main crew, and a few company men. The trip back to port is extremely rough which the sea hands can handle, but all the others are having a hard time to deal with. Imagine if you will sitting on one of those mechanical bulls for eight hours, that is our ride. The vessel is thrown from side to side the seas are now raising to the 15-20ft level so we are up and down like a roller coaster. I handle the wheel, as I have been through this before, on a tug boat towing the shuttle crafts fuel tank to cape </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Canaveral</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> (</span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">that's</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> another story maybe later).</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
After riding the waves for ten solid wrecking hours, we reach the sea buoy, now I can catch a 40min. nap.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">We arrive at the dock, tie up and unload a boatload of seasick travelers, clean up their mess and start securing the vessel for the incoming storm.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">We are now ready to settle in, </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">yay,</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> I can get some sleep, but oh no not to be.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
Over the radio we get the call, two guys are on a platform in the delta and are going to need water. They have elected to ride out the storm on this small platform. Well needless to say no one was thrilled at this prospect. We w</span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">ere</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> all tired, hungry and sleepy at this juncture and we relayed this back to the people at the home office, that we thought this would be </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">ridiculous</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> and unsafe. These guys were only wanting 700gal. of water, our pump pumps that in a minute.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
So we would be making this trip in these conditions for a 10min. service call.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Over </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">every ones</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> protests we were over voted by the home office this was a must happen operation.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Maybe I will get another 30-40min. nap.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">The vessel we are on is made to take a large amount of supplies to the rigs both for their daily activities and the job that are doing, so it is not a small boat.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sittin on the front porch, drinkin my coffee, readin the paper and wavin at the people on their way to work. Just another mornin in this here paradise I call my front yard world.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Along comes Jimmy Ray Morrison, ever one knows Jimmy ray, or some one like him.</div><div>Hell, any thing you done, he done did it better, TWICE.</div><div><br />
</div><div>He can tell you whut color it needs to be painted, how much to use and when to do it, TWICE.</div><div>You might think I'm a funnin, but this here guy has done did it all.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Why I even bet he was the presidents advisor, at some point and time, in history.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I bought a little six cylinder truck once, well hell, accordin to Jimmy Ray, they weren't no count, no six cylinder ever gonna do what an eighten can, ever body knows thet, you just spinnin your wheels with thet there, puny ass, truck.</div><div><br />
</div><div>That afternoon, Jimmy Ray went out and bought one them big, four door, v-8,</div><div> pick ups, just to prove the point. His gonna be twice as good as yours, ever day of the week.</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Directly, Clem stops with the mail, I proceed to tell him bout whut Jimmy Ray gone and done did. He lets out a belly laff that would scare a bald ass snake. Uh oh. done heard that laff afore.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Whuts the plan I asked.</div><div>Ain't tell you, Clem replied, uh oh, must be a doozie. Onlyest time Clem don't tell me. is when he don't want too many, chiefs, involved.<br />
<br />
Next mornin, I'm on the front porch, drinkin my coffee. readin the paper, wavin at the people on their way to work, when Jimmy Ray, drives up, in his brand new pickup.<br />
<br />
He tells me right off, just how nice his, brand new, pickup is. Hell he's gettin the best gas mileage ever, only one little noise he hears ever so often.<br />
<br />
I tell him, hell, you oughtta take it back and have it checked out, "oh hell no, this here truck gets almost forty miles to the gallon, I ain't gonna let them rubes mess with it at all."<br />
<br />
I start laffin to my self, that damn Clem gone and done sumthin.<br />
<br />
For about a week, Jimmy Ray showed up ever mornin, braggin bout thet truck, good mileage and all.<br />
Just a few minor noises, a few minor glitches, hell, he can live with thet. Mr. Bob, you shouda done like I tole you and bought a truck like this'en, gets good gas mileage and has plenty-o power. Yessiree this is the best way to go. Then he left.<br />
<br />
Well Monday mornin, while I was out on the front porch, I noticed Jimmy didn't show up, hell I didn't hear a speck of nuthin from him till Thursday. Then I got a full ear for a full hour, all the woes of his new truck.<br />
<br />
Seems, the noises got louder and worse, the gas mileage thet had been so great had dropped to nuthin.<br />
Then while he was goin over the cattle gap he had to go through ever day, to feed the cattle, had a sharp piece of iron stickin up and punctured the tire.<br />
He went to lower the spare, there weren't no tools, so he rigged it up with a screw driver and pipe wrench.<br />
Got the tire on the ground, the damm thing didnt have no air in it. So now he had to call Bubba to tow it to Clearwater Truck sales.<br />
<br />
He tole Ronnie, the service manager, he was have'n all sorts of problems with this here new truck.<br />
First he was a gittin forty miles to a gallon, now barely five. It had a small little pingin and rattle but the noise was gettin worser ever day. It didn't have no tire tools and even if it did, the spare had no air in it.<br />
<br />
Well Ronnie, was real nice, he said no problem Jimmy, let me take it back there to the shop and figure out what the problem is. Won't take more'n a day or two, I'm sure it will all be fine. we'll fix-er right up. Well Jimmy got the truck back, everthig was fine, it wasn't gettin bout aroun fifteen miles to the gallon, but that was about whut he spected. Only thing was, some of them shop charges weren't covered by no manufacture warrantee thing, cause he didn't spend the extra hudret dollars for it, so he ended up a payin almost fine hundret dollars extree.<br />
<br />
Next mornin, sittin on the front porch, drinkin my coffee, readin the paper, wavin at the people on their way to work, just waitin on Clem, to bring the mail. I wanna know the "rest of the story."<br />
Here comes Clem now, this outta be a good'en.<br />
<br />
I tole Clem, Jimmy Ray was here yesterday, tole me this long story of woe, bout his brand new truck. Fill me in on all the details and how you pulled it off.<br />
<br />
Clem and Ronnie, Clearwater Truck Sales, service manager, are brothers, they have lived down the road a piece, since they was all younguns together. These two brothers had been waitin for years to fix up ole Jimmy Ray, for his years of agravaten.<br />
<br />
Ronnie, went over to Jimmy Rays at night, he'd place little tin cans with bb's and marbles in different spots on the underside wheel wells and other hard to find spots. He let the air outta the spare tire and hid the tire tools.<br />
All the while, Clem kept addin gas to the tank the first week, then siphoned it all out the next, he saw this pulled in some movie and always wanted to do it to Jimmy Ray, worked out great.<br />
<br />
So when Jimmy Ray finally had that brand new pickup towed in, hell, Ronnie was happier than a coon what had found a full dumpster.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story: "don't brag to your neighbors when your cup is over flowin, you might just find your neighbors , pissin in your cup."<br />
<br />
BIG BIG HUGS ALL ! ! ! !<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Just to let everyone know, I have been going through a little transition. Some of you may know that my mother is not of a good mental state. With recent developments, I felt that I need to spend more energy in her direction.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">With this decision it has come into a reality of motion, that I must displace myself, and get closer to her.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I will be moving to her home, which also meant that all the electronic hook-ups should be in place.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Having said that, I am moving everything today and tomorrow, and should be back on line with in the next few days.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This has not been a fun time for me, as I miss being on lone much more than I have been lately.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Twas the week before Christmas and all through the land.<br />
</div><div>Shopping is hectic, got plastic in hand.<br />
</div><div>Walmart and Target are price cutting like hell.<br />
</div><div>In hopes that you'll buy from them as well.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>The kids are hinting at the things they want this year.<br />
</div><div>While visions of debt is the only vision that is clear.<br />
</div><div>Mamma in rollers hunting for sales, and me at home taking a nap.<br />
</div><div>I guess something can be said about the gender gap.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>When out in the parking lot, I heard something shatter,<br />
</div><div>Officer Obie, jumped into action to see whats the matter.<br />
</div><div>Alarms were blowing, and lights were flashing.<br />
</div><div>All you could see was a little ole man in a hadicap cart dashing (driving that thing at break neck speed too)<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>When what to your wondering eyes should appear,<br />
</div><div>The local police, in full dressed swat gear.<br />
</div><div>Poor little man in the handicap cart,<br />
</div><div>Was banned form shopping for Christmas at this Walmart.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Behind the wheel now and heading home with the loot,<br />
</div><div>The drivers are crazy, the traffic is heavy, watch out for that ole coot.<br />
</div><div>He's driving that cart, coming our way.<br />
</div><div>He acts like he's angry, hell, he's yellin "make my day"<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I dont know what is under this hood, on Dancer, Vixen, or Cupid<br />
</div><div>Let's get outta here before that ole man does somethin stoopid.<br />
</div><div>So out of the parking lot I speed away, like Santa flying in his sleigh,<br />
</div><div>Man I should've shopped earlier, Like in the month of May.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>When I get to house, with loot in hand,<br />
</div><div>I spring from the truck, oh no, in dog poop I stand.<br />
</div><div>I learned my lesson, thats for sure,<br />
</div><div>Shopping for Christmas is a lot of manure.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />

</div><br />
<div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div>Clems brother, Jerry Wayne, has always had extremely long hair and a really long and thick beard. It was all beginning to turn gray and white. He has also always had these real thick glasses, those that are so heavy, they fall off your nose, he always, peered over his glasses.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>His wife, Merlene, told him she weren't gonna have nuthin to do with him no more, iffin he didn't git that stuf cut off.<br />
</div><div>He came to me and Clem and and asked what ought he do.<br />
</div><div>Man are we gonna have some fun with this one.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>We tole ole Jimmy, man we would love to hep him out iffin he was a willin to help us out.<br />
</div><div>Ole Jimmy, said anthin, long as it ain't sumthin stoopid, like havein to go to church for a year , or take out ole Blevins, ugly daughter, we laffed, hell, Jimmy we wouldn't do nuthin like thet, your married, and ain't no church we would want to punish like thet no way.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>BUT!! We do have a favor.<br />
</div><div>Clara and Joe, your next door neighbors, been callin the law on us for years, ever time we have a party, an well, we would kinda like to git em back, nuthin mean mind you, just a little fun.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Hell, they known me all my life, how you gonna have me do anythin, that'll fool them two?<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Merlene, wants you to clean up, right?<br />
</div><div>You want to keep Merlene happy ,right?<br />
</div><div>So, you gonna have to have a streme make over, right?<br />
</div><div>Hell, way we see it, they ain't even gonna know who you are. Now, you gittin the pikture?<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Jerry Wayne, got his hair cut real short, got his beard all shaved off, had this fancy surgery done on his eyes, didn't wear them glasse no more. Hell, we didn't even recognize him.<br />
</div><div>Merlene was thrilled, an Jerry Wayne.got non stop luvin for a week.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Everbody is happy.<br />
</div><div>We take him over to Clara and Joes house, and introduce him, as a good friend from back east.<br />
</div><div>This guy, can tell you bout anythin you've done or any thin thats a gonna happen in the future.<br />
</div><div>Clara an Joes' ears perked up, tell us more they said.<br />
</div><div>So, Jerry Wayne, seein they donn't recognize him, really gits into it.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>He starts out, tellin em bout past events, bout their kids, bout how they fell in love, when they moved into their ole house, an had to fix up all the bad plummin. How six years ago Joe had a car wreck, and seven years ago Clara, won some money at the casino, just all kinds of things.<br />
</div><div>They never even once, so much as had no idea that this was Jerry Wayne, their next door neighbor for the last twenty five years.<br />
</div><div><br />
He asked em if they wanted to know bout their future now.<br />
</div><div>They was so amazed bout the information of their past, they yelled, HELL YES. They was excited to find out all bout it now.<br />
</div><div>Well, you got fifty dollars and I'll tell you all about your future then.<br />
</div><div><br />
Man, I never seen Clara move that fast, she jumped up, ran to the back, came back, with five crisp ten dollar bills, just a wavin em an sayin tell us now.<br />
</div><div>Jerry Wayne takes the fifty, looks at it real hard like. lays it on the coffee table, spreads it out, and studies real hardfor bout five minutes, not sayin a word.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Ya'll have, an ole oak tree, out back, surrounded by some bramble, thorn bushes.<br />
</div><div>Joe and Clara, both shake their head yep, been here since we got this place they said.<br />
</div><div>An ole couple use to live here, Jerry Wayne continues, an you folks is bout to find their treasure. what they buried there. Seems Joe here, knows an ole man name Benard, an you two gonna meet up an fine thet ole treasure. It is buried under thet ole oak tree, just a waitin for the two of you to dig it up. Cept, only problem is, you gotta dig at night, after midnight, can't have no lights, cept a flash light, an once you start diggin, you can't stop, or the treasure goes deeper.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Joe and Clara, are all so excited, they call Benard, right away, make plans, to start diggin thet night.<br />
</div><div>They git out there, right after midnight, they dig bout three feet down, the wind starts a blowin an a howlin, they start hearin voices of peple wailin, chains rattlin, and bells a ringin. They git scared an run back to the house.<br />
</div><div>This goes on bout a month or so, an they is gettin reall frustrated, hell, that treasure must be fifteen feet down by now.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Clem an I, never had no problems with our parties after midnight no more.<br />
</div><div>Thanks, Jerry Wayne, hope you and Marlene stay happy too.<br />

</div><br />
<div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div>Sittin on the front porch readin the paper, drinkin my coffee and waitin on Clem to come by with the mail, wavin at the people on their way to work.<div>I'm a just sittin here a thinkin bout whut all these folk is in a hurry bout.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Seems to me that the closer it gits to Christmas, the crazier them damned people drives. They drive so fast and weave in n out, hell you'd think they was all on go-carts or sumthin.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Clem, shows up with mail, goes inside and gits a cup of coffee, and we comence to talkin. He went to his brothers for thanksgivin, down at the ole family place and all, and he was full of news.</div><div>His mommas place, was in bad need of repair, and his damned brother, lazy ole cuss, wouldn't even fix the ole stairs goin up the back porch.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So, Clem decided, he'd fix up a few things while he was there. He went out and bought some paint, and brushes, some lumber to fix the back porch and all. He got it done and was walkin round to admire his handi work, when this big ole cur dog, come runnin into the yard. Hell, scared the pee outta him, so bad, he had to wring out his socks.</div><div><br />
</div><div>He went back up to the house and asked his brother, Jimmy, "how long these here ole wild dogs been a runnin up in here."</div><div>He said "bout a couple months now, they been runnin in a pack outta them ole woods. Ever since ole man Landry moved and the fence felled down, they been acomin up this a way ever since."</div><div><br />
</div><div>Well, hell, Jimmy, "Why haven't you fixed that damn fence then?"</div><div>Now, Jimmy is a big ole boy, Clems' baby brother and all, just lazy and a little slow mostly.</div><div>Clem, says "alrighty then, this a here is whut we are a gonna do."</div><div>"I'm gonna paint the front of the house, while you start puttin up the fece post. I'll go git all the stuff, lay it out show you where ever thing goes and all. I'll be back in about an hour with all the fencin stuff".</div><div><br />
</div><div>When Clem gits back, he takes Jimmy round the yard, he sets a bag of concrete where ever post should go and marks it with that orange markin paint.</div><div>Tells Jimmy "ever where you see these here orange marks, you dig a hole and bury a post, when you git em all done. I'll come back and put up the runners and you and I will hang this here fence."</div><div><br />
</div><div>So, Clem goes to the front of the house and start the paintin, he gits the front painted and don't hear nuthin from Jimmy. Sos he commences paintin, the north side of the house, gits it almost done, then spots Jimmy sittin on the front porch.</div><div><br />
</div><div>"Jimmy, You got them fence post ready yet", Clem yelled</div><div>"Yep, just waitin on you now," he says.</div><div>Clem climbs down the ladder, goes and gits the compressor out, sends Jimmy, after the air hose and nail gun.</div><div>He goes round to the back to git started.</div><div><br />
</div><div>"Jimmy, what the hell, wheres them posts at, thought you done had ever thing ready here."</div><div><br />
</div><div>Jimmy, yells back, "it is ready, I'll be there in just a minute."</div><div><br />
</div><div>Jimmy comes walkin back, with the nail gun and the air hose, and asks Clem, where he wants em.</div><div>"Well, I'd a want em by the first post, iffin I could find it."</div><div><br />
</div><div>"Well. hell, its right here, where you said to start." Jimmy said.</div><div>"Where the hell are they then," Clem asks?</div><div><br />
</div><div>"Well hell, your a standin on em right now," Jimmy says," right next to them sacks of concrete.</div><div>Right there where yo tole me to bury em, I buried all of em, bout, sixteen to eighteen inches down, and they is ready for that concrete now.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Man you could just see the redness wellin up in ole Clem eyes, Mr. Bob , that derned fool actually buried all them damn post, and thought that was they way its spose to be, hell, he didn't even leave a nub outta the ground to nail to.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Alls I could do was laff and ask, "sos how did you hang them fence pickets", just couldn;t hep my self.</div>plainolebobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08899219272697255107noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029079445335931532.post-28893944193162968092009-11-22T08:43:00.000-08:002009-11-22T08:46:34.903-08:00"2012" You Gotta Be Kiddin Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU7khw6SI6qr8_s710CuAPCFSqjh0nhEDLBIrxmARYGz3AjI7d2IYVPJ-z6oJ9rPlm0QgIlGCDln8Gm088eLFNd2FWXIyh1mKi_4Qw9_Sy8Jw3_j_6aVHk4q-lawPqvdeK8xKmTb63lro/s1600/nervous3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU7khw6SI6qr8_s710CuAPCFSqjh0nhEDLBIrxmARYGz3AjI7d2IYVPJ-z6oJ9rPlm0QgIlGCDln8Gm088eLFNd2FWXIyh1mKi_4Qw9_Sy8Jw3_j_6aVHk4q-lawPqvdeK8xKmTb63lro/s320/nervous3.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5N1IIdRdiD4MKVrLowk0lTUHAm5h6TJ3GyngJIufHhRg7gNJN7HF6kgcUkw6SEH-phUyZn7XMZkSnjJd91wCJvT9Ti92t9F1HBhSbQcgkcFnlpksoEtN3Q3YQhdh84rK4ZJQ97gRnwA/s1600/nervous2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5N1IIdRdiD4MKVrLowk0lTUHAm5h6TJ3GyngJIufHhRg7gNJN7HF6kgcUkw6SEH-phUyZn7XMZkSnjJd91wCJvT9Ti92t9F1HBhSbQcgkcFnlpksoEtN3Q3YQhdh84rK4ZJQ97gRnwA/s320/nervous2.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitFUBZWQg262M2z9ao7V9RvmQovHRmTjV04HSxKU2tL5fT5C7rKReV66wBWwuj7AGZK1Xk2kPbwyR55HcDuQ1iPyjPjI_K0SSNB2WepXNjOzq_1nB2BSczxotO2xDF0mKfyxw7KjcKoGQ/s1600/nervous.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitFUBZWQg262M2z9ao7V9RvmQovHRmTjV04HSxKU2tL5fT5C7rKReV66wBWwuj7AGZK1Xk2kPbwyR55HcDuQ1iPyjPjI_K0SSNB2WepXNjOzq_1nB2BSczxotO2xDF0mKfyxw7KjcKoGQ/s320/nervous.jpg" /></a><br />

<div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>This was pre-accident</div><div><br />
</div>It was just a routine day, we were just doing a routine operation.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>We headed to the rig, about one hundred thirty miles off shore, on board we had their supplies for their daily activities.</div><div>We had two new crew members that had never been off shore before, one deck hand and one cook.</div><div>This is always fun.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Going out, it is calm and fair weather, every thing goes smoothly.</div><div>We get to the rig, tie up, and off load their supplies.</div><div>We are requested to stay over, so that they may off load some unneeded and spent materials, cool, fishing will commence immediately.</div><div><br />
</div><div>This rig has a very nice tie up spot for fishing, and god knows I like to FISH.</div><div>We break out the fishing gear and start fishing.</div><div>We make poola bags, these are chum bags attached to the bottom of your line, you yank hard, they open with bait, and the fish attack the bait.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The snapper is biting like crazy, we each catch many pounds of snapper.</div><div>Word comes, we are being released from the rig, damn, the fishing is just too good to want to leave.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The trip back is a little bumpy, not bad, but for guys that have never been out before, you would think we are in the "perfect storm", I can't help my self, being an old salt, I start the prank, and tease mode.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I walk up to the new deck hand, I have a glass of raw eggs and milk. I down it all in one big gulp.OOPS. sorry new guy, I didn't mean to make you sick. (snicker snicker) sorry.</div><div>I guess I'll fust have to finish off these sardine and peanut sandwiches by my self, (snicker snicker) sorry.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The captain sees what is going on, he removes me to the wheel house, to take the wheel, for the remaining, trip back to the dock. I am still snickering, get to sit in the wheelhouse chair and relax all the way in.</div><div>The new deck hand, comes into the wheelhouse to see how I am doing.</div><div>I apologize for making him sick and all, he feels better, and I show him all the equipment.</div><div><br />
</div><div>We have a gps, radar equipment,even auto pilot. He is really impressed. I explain to him how at times the radar goes a little hay wire, and has to be adjusted at times.</div><div>I ask him if he will help me calibrate the radar when we get in, I explain that it is a two man operation, and if we get it calibrated, the captain will let us fish longer the next time we go out.</div><div><br />
</div><div>This guy loves to fish.</div><div><br />
</div><div>We get back to the dock, get everything secured, and get some rest.</div><div>This new guy keeps bugging me about calibrating the radar, today is Saturday, and I'm wanting to watch the ball games, we will do it tomorrow before the games begin I tall him it is better to do it early in the morning before every one at the docks get on their radios, much less interference that way.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The next morning, every one, all the other vessels are, tied up tight, at the dock.</div><div>I get the new guy to help me calibrate the radar.</div><div>He is really excited, and I get him all prepared, and I position him on the back deck.</div><div>I yell at the other hands, on the other vessels to please stay off their radios for a few minutes, as the new guy and I are about to calibrate the radar for our vessel. They all wave, and agree, they just hang out to watch.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I go to the upper deck in the wheel house, get on the loud speaker so the new guy can hear the commands.</div><div>Ok, "go to the middle of the stern, place your hands over your head, walk from pot to starboard, do this three times, slowly, then stop at the center."</div><div><br />
</div><div>The new guy does this procedure flawlessly.</div><div>Great I say" now one more time , a little faster, and walk up to the engine stacks then return to the stern."</div><div>The fellows on the other vessels are whistling and giving encouragement the whole time.</div><div><br />
</div><div>We did this for about five minutes, and I told the new guy, "great job.I believe we got it"</div><div>The captain was up now and wanted to know what was going on.</div><div>The new guy, was all excited that we had the radar calibrated and gushed out to the captain what he had helped get accomplished.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Well, ole Cap, just burst out in laughter, he said,"yes I know I was watching the whole thing from the galley." Then said, "well son I guess you wre just initiated right proper, we never calibrate the radar that way, especially all wrapped up in aluminum foil, with a pan on top of our heads, and holding a clothes hanges in both hands."</div><div><br />
</div><div>But I am sure you will be the talk at the docks for the next couple of days, Byford, I need to talk with you.</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Damn, I wish U-Tube would have been available then.<br />
I have also started this thread on face book<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">On Fridays at my other site, plainolebob2, on blogspot, we hand out the "Hot Dawg" blogger award.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">You may have noticed that this award is dedicated to Miss Rae.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">I felt like this would be as good a time as any to tell you why.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">I only know Miss Rae, through blogging on blogger.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">She is the reason that I even blog, I almost quit before I got started.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">I started blogging because a friend suggested that I should.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">I was having terrible nightmares due to an accident that killed the fellow standing next to me. For years I have had nightmares about this accident, and blogging may be the release that I needed, as it turned out, it was.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">When I first started, I was reluctant to write about it, I goofed around in the coffee shop at the google help forum.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">I started following a blogger, Bruce Coltin at </span><span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://www.brucecoltin.blogspot.com/">http://www.brucecoltin.blogspot.com/</a></span><span style="color: #e06666;"> if you have ever read anything</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> at his site you will undestand why.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Bruce Coltin started this thread, </span><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, 'san serif'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Do you just follow blogs, or do you also read them?</span></span><br />

Rae summarizes the opinions expressed in this discussion, and states her own purpose for blogging. Rae knows how to write. You really should take a look."</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, 'san serif';"><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, 'san serif';"><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666;">I was truly thinking at this time, that blogging was not for me.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, 'san serif';"><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666;">It was the inspiration that I needed at the time, to write about the accident, and my feelings.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, 'san serif';"><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><br />

It is because of you that there is a "Hot Dawg" blogger award, and if it is from the inspiration of that post, that I wrote about my accident and was freed from my nightmares.</span></span></span><br />

Well thought I would do a little edit and re-run of my more infamous post from quite some time ago. due to the power from the flooding and all I decided I needed to put up a post in case this thing coming into the gulf brings so much rain that it really makes this river rise, we may be with out power for a while.<br />
Kinda in limbo right now, power for a time then no power, a yo-yo effect, I wonder if that would work like a wind mill, one big yo-yo, just kiddin Mike.<br />
<br />
Any way I hope you all enjoy these old post, Clem is plannin a travel itenerairy or however you say it, wikk let you know soon. You know how Clem is.<br />

"I"M IN THE PAPERS<br />
Sitting on the front porch drinking my coffee, reading the paper, must be round 6:30am by nowI notice the traffic is picking up. Time to move a little closer so I can wave at everybody on their way to work. Reading the paper and I come across this here ad { WANTED YOUR OLD NEWSPAPERS.........WILL PAY 50cents PER POUND........BRING TO OLD HWY 71 NORTH.....ACROSS FROM OLD CHEATUMS TRUCK STOP}<br />

When all of a sudden this big ole truck, painted a god ugly green, pulls up and dumps out the biggest stack of newspapers youd ever saw and kept bringing more. Now I'm not easily riled but this youngun was droppin papers on my favorite daisy bed. I yelled out at him hey fool git them papers offen my daisies. He said yessir where you want em. I said hell I don't care if you put em up your....... but git em off my daisies. Now about this time, some old lady, and I can say old lady being an ole coot myself, you know one them blue haired old ladies, with them ugly, half up to your knees sox on or hose, whatever they are. She gits out and starts unloading them papers too, by this time I'm gettin the picture, that ole fool in the paper ad, had my address on it and these people were bringing me all them papers.

<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Have you ever gone to the store and forgot what you were suppose to pick up. You did'nt bring a list, you don't have your cell to call home. So what to do? Not this, I will explain with this story.<br />
</div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Well by now most of you know how I am or maybe not no matter, I'm gonna tell you a little about Bess.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Now ,Bess is the boss and the real ass whupper here, she's about as tall as I am, but not quite. She has long white hair and I do mean white hair. Body wize whoo whoo , better not go there though.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Any ways, when Bess sends me to the store,I try my damdest not forget nothin, I always do though. Sos you know I finally figgered this out.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Bess, has a cousin, name of Cora Lee, now Cora is meanern a snake and as ugly as the inside of a burnt down barn, an B.O. that any chicken coop would envy.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Well she come to visit last week, sos I figure good time as any for a fishin trip. Now, Bess has other plans, no fishin. If, Cora weren't no girl I'd haffta whup her ass.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Now I'm stuck here, with this ugly ass woman, for three days, and she's one them house prowlin types, you know, them that looks in your drawers, goes through your cabinets, hell she mights well join the I.R.S. search squad.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Any ways, she spots these cucumbers in the fridge, about four dozen of em, and notices about tweleve cases of sprite stacked in the corner.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I can just hear, them ugly rusted gears, in that simpleminded ole head of hers crank up, like an old John Deere tractor.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Now, she wants to know, why in hevens name, we got all them cucumbers and all that sprite, damn. I been tryin to kill this issue, for bout two weeks now and she just openes this can of worms, agin.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Damn , I just wanna whup her ass.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Well, justl sos you know, I wouldn't whup up on no women, dont mean I wouldnt like to tho.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Bess, had sent me to the store, to pick up a few things, and cucumbers and sprite is what I forgot.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So, I figured out this here plan, when I go into the store, I'll ask, Jimmy, the bag boy, to say cucumbers and sprite at me when I'm leavin the store.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So, when I'm done shoppin, Jimmy says hey Mr. Bob, real loud, when I say real loud. I mean that boy shouted, you could hear him in the back, where that drunk butcher, Joe, hides out.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I said thank you Jimmy, for reminden me and I get some cucumbers and sprite and head on home, proud as a mule with full bag of oats.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Next mornin, I'm out on the front porch, wavin at the traffik, readin my paper, drinkin my coffee and waintin on Clem to deliver the mail.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Along comes Bess, outta the livinroom, sayin we is outta milk, now remember when Bess ays jump I dont ask how high, I get out the survival gear.<br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So, I head to the store, notice, Melvin Ray's, truck parked at Betty's Cafe, sos I pull in, he's been dodgin me since Easter, an owes me two bucks, I'm gonna git it. I go inside, ever body says howdy Mr, Bob, Melvin, sulks down in that there booth, thinkin I cant see him, hell hes over six foot tal,l an has feet as big as my aluminum boat. Hows he think he can hide in that there little ole booth beats me.

</div><br />
I, know, this is gonna be hard for some of you to understand, specially if you have known me and followed, this blog for any length of time.<br />
<div>I have never talked about this part of my existence before, but I thought just, maybe, you might git a chuckle outta it.<br />
</div><div>Back in 1968, I decided, no actually, my family decided, that I not only needed to further my education, but that I should do it on a small Baptist college. Yikes, bummer, and any other adjective you wish to use here, any way, this was way out of my element and comfort zone.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Most of the guys here, were bible thumpin, knock on your door, Jesus saves, dorks. No offense to any one that falls into this category, mind you, I was only eighteen at the time. Except the fact that, my hair was down to the middle of my back, I smoked cigarettes, I smoked pot, I drank, and every third phrase outta my mouth was, "you gotta be shittin me", and "far out fuck wad". As you can see at that time I would not be the model canidate for student of the year on this little bible school.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>My room mate, was this weird little fellow from, "Philly", with an even more strange name, David Dingbutt, changed his last name just in case. This guy was hung up, on show tunes, and Frank Sinatra. Me, it was Quick Silver Messenger Service, and Pink Floyd, for the easy listening stuff an Janis and Jimmy for the more moderate. I might write about this educated idiot some time.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I stayed off campus, as much as possible, hung out at the park, gazebo, played frisbee, listened to music and stayed stoned. These were the good times, no hard drugs then, just for "medicinal" purposes any way, yep, I was sick of that campus.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I found out really quick, I was a different type of student. I wasn't a religious type, I wasn't a studious type, I was mostly a party type. This did not blend in on this campus. They were, short hair, polished shoes, neat pressed shirts and slacks types. Me, long hair, beard, tie-dyed-tee shirts, bell bottom jeans, and sandles, a much more laid back type.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Every, Wednesday, was a mandatory chapel, I went to twice, I liked it so much, that I hired this off campus wino, to sit in my seat every Wednesday, for the roll call, for the duration of my life there. This fellow found the lord, and became a Baptist preacher, so as you can see there was a silver lining.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>The only major expense, that I incurred, was this stoopid meal ticket, that you had to purchase. This was the biggest waste of money ever for me. I never ate breakfast, and the lunch was just a time to collect all the different colors of jello, I liked to use the jello to stain the sidewalks, made all type of art work there, you know, peace signs, and that type of stuff. Mistake was I would do it right on the cafeteria sidewalk as you walked up to the door. I wrote with the jello, this jello, causes cancer and brain disease.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Man, I was always in this little dean guys office.<br />
</div><div>Now this guy, Damn, he was a retired military officer, about five feet four inches tall, had that attitude of , "boy", my way or the highway, I always said, "fine, can I have a map". He hated me, and ,well, I was no fan of his either.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Guess I was just considered a "Rebel" here.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>My biggest problem on this campus was with the cafeteria, as I had a problem here, right away, in fact, there were, two instances that I had to go and see the dean, I am only going to tell you about one right now.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>You have to remember this was 1968, and "who", I was then.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I decided to attend the Sunday luncheon meal, I woke up late, got in a hurry to make it over there before they closed the lines and stopped serving. I walked in side just in time, they were still serving, and very few people were still there.<br />
</div><div>The girl, snickers, and says sorry, I can't serve you.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I say, why can't you serve me, the line is still open.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>You are dressed improperly, I was informed.<br />
Hell, I had on my t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. She informed me, that to be served, Sunday lunch, you "MUST" wear a coat and tie.<br />
</div><div>I tried to turn on the charm.<br />
</div><div>I said. oh I'm sorry sweetheart, can you let me slide just this once, I won't tell any one, and I really am hungry, besides there is no way that I can make it back to the dorm, change and get back here before you close the doors.<br />
</div><div>An emphatic, resonating NO, was belted out.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>My charm wore off immediately.<br />
</div><div>Then get the hell outta my way, and I will serve my self, and I did.<br />
</div><div>She walked over to my table, picked up the meal ticket, off of my tray, and wrote down the number.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Next morning.<br />
</div><div>Had a note on my dorm room door.<br />
</div><div>Mr. Byford, please report to the dean before returning to class.<br />
</div><div>OKEY DOKE then<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>The dean and I, if you remember are not fans of each other.<br />
</div><div> Mr. Byford, at this school, as stated in the orientation manual, that I am sure you received, it clearly states, and he had the book opened and underlined, a coat and tie are required for Sunday luncheon meal.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I tried to explain the situation, no dice, this prick wasn't going to hear any of it.<br />
</div><div>NO EXCUSES, coat and tie only, good day, and he dismissed me.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>That next sunday, I was first in line for the Sunday luncheon. Had my, coat and tie on, and thers she was, the cafeteria policewoman.<br />
</div><div>She walks over to my table, picks up my meal ticket, writes down the number.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Next morning, had a note on my dorm room door.<br />
</div><div>Mr. Byford, please report to the dean before returning to classes.<br />
</div><div>OKEY DOKEY then.<br />
<br />
Mr. Byford, a coat must be worn right side out, and a shoe string, even if colored red, is still not a tie.<br />
<br />
I pulled out my copy of the orientation manual, highlighted and underlined.<br />
Show me where it says that.<br />
It merely states in its' vagueness, "a coat and tie, are required for Sunday luncheon meal", no mention of any qualifications or exclusions.<br />
I dismissed myself, turned, closed the door, as I left his office.<br />
<br />
That Wednesday, in their, mandatory, chapel, they were introduced to an addendum, to the "orientation" manual.<br />
Male students attending the Sunday luncheon, Must wear a coat, that coat MUST be worn in the fashion that it was designed, ie...it MUST be worn right side out, a tie MUST be worn, that tie must be a proper tie, WITHOUT exception,ie.a shoe string or other substitute will NOT qualify, as a tie. NO EXCEPTIONS.<br />
<br />
Wow, over night, I became a campus legend, imagine that, the ole hippy hick, scored.<br />
<br />
Oh, and by the way, the ole wino, I hired, to sit in for roll call, yep, ran into him just the other day.<br />
He was drunk on his ass, and he had just accepted a new position, as the new dean, on that campus.<br />
Go figure<br />

<br />
Ever Halloween, after I git all the Christmas stuff out, and checked, I try to do a little trickery, for the Halloween<br />
<div>goblins.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I put all the candy and treat in this ole worn out wash tub, man, I get all kinds of candy for this event. I dress up like an ole scarecrow, with a straw hat and ever thin.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I gat all them big ole spider webs up, all down the side walk, comming to the porch. I hang all them flyin ghost from the trees, build a little pumpkin patch area with bales of hay.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>We have them little stick scarecrows all over the yard, and them fake headstones with the R.I.P. on em.<br />
</div><div>Ever thing looks really funny, spooky, eerie just good ole fashioned Halloeenish.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I always love the faces of them little ones, and their costumes, but when they git that big ole handful of candy, now they are just so damn funny. They say "trick or treat" in the sweetest ways, some are just so shy and scared, I try not to scare them littlest ones, but them that is a little older, well, I git em. LOL.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Me an Clem, built this hide-a-way hole, grave, Clem, gits inside, and when them smarty kind of older kids come up, they git their candy, look around a little, they get ready to leave. Clem, comes up real fast outta thet grave, man, I can't help but laff, them younguns, are so spooked, most of em just flat out run outta here.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>It's one of the funniest sites you ever saw.<br />
</div><div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:1avKLF6PBFREXM:http://www.fishnhunt.co.nz/postcards/xmas/duo.gif" /> MERRY CHRISTMAS AT HALLOWEEN<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">FROM<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">SANTA & RUDOLPH<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Every year around Halloween, when every one is still doing the ghoul thing, I go out to my shop and start checking out the Christmas lights, take an inventory, figger out how many lights I'm gonna need, to spruce up this years, Christmas display.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>This year is a little differnt, cause a whut happened last year.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I had done made all these here decorations and such, you know, them angels, deers, snowmen and all. I made this really big thing to go on the roof. Had Santa, all the reindeers, the sleigh, complete with all the goodies. Hell, even had a light up red nose, on ole Rudolph.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Was sittin on the front porch, readin the paper, wavin at all the people, on their way to werk, I do this most ever day. Just sittin here waitin on Clem, the mailman, and good buddy to drive up, with the mail, an gossip. Today, I was a thinkin bout them Christmas decorations, an whut I could do to liven em up. Bout this time Clem, showed up.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Now, Clem, always gives me some good ideeas, sos, I aksed him for some input. He said, hell, with all them little motors, an all that you got layin round, you outta make em move around and all. Man whut a good, gall danged ideea. Yep, and I can put them movinn lights and such to just give em some added action and all thet there.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I even got an old sound system thing, I can have it playing Chistmas songs. like "Rudolph the red nose reindeer", "here comes Santa Claus", and then have Santa yelling out "ho ho ho".<br />
</div><div>I got one of them big red blinkin lights and put it on Rudolphs' nose, an ever thin.<br />
</div><div>Hell, this is gonna be one big, ole Christmas scene, I'll even mount it on the roof, sos, ever one can see it as they drive by.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>So, I go out to the shop and git started on the Christmas projeck. I cut out all the snowmen, find a pattern for the reindeer, includin Rudolph. A great ole big Santa, carryin a toy bag an all, a sleigh with bells on it, even the roof mountin hardwares.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Make em all, git up on the roof, run all the wires, git it all in place. The motor for Santa, is too small to give it the right motion, but the one for Rudoplh, is perfeck. Rudolph, rocks back an forth an the light on his nose blinks an ever thin, how cool, I think.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Hook up the sound system with a recorder an all, have this big ole speaker, sos, you can hear it all real good.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I go back to the shop, look for a bigger motor, for the Santa movement, found one right off. A one horse power motor with a pulley an ever thin, now I can make Santa look like he's gittin in an outta the sleigh. Perfeck.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>About two weeks after Thanks givin, all is workin perfeck. People are drivin by and enjoyin the sight. Whut with the musix, the motion, the lights an all, this is the best display, ole Mr. Bob's, ever put on.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Ever body smiles, waves, and all the first night , that I light it all up. This goes on for about a week, I am so proud of my self, whut with seein all the happy faces an all, esspecially them little kids enjoyin it all, laughin and gigglin.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>We always have a warm spell, followed by a cold spell, this time a year, in these parts, this year was no ception. This big ole storm was commin our way, sos, I went out and covered all the motors, all the lights, then unplugged it all. You can never be too careful, for these storms an all, you never know whuts gonna happen.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>After the storm, I went out, uncovered ever thin, plugged it all back in, and waited to see if ever body would still drive by and see, my, beautofully wonderment of a display.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>That night, man i had a purty big group of folks, whut drove by, lookin at this wonderful display. Hell, they was all wavin, and smillin, and just lovin it. I was too. I would hold up my coffee mug, take a bow, wave at the crowds as they drove by an all.<br />
</div><div>Felt so proud, went in the house, an had a beer.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Next night, seemed to me the crowd was bigger than usual, man I really was proud now, went in the house, and had two beers, happier than a kid with a new bike.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Next night, the crowds were really huge, ever one laffin and pointin and havin a wonderful time. Held my coffee mug high, took a really big bow, cept stead of goin in the house, thought, I would go out and mingle, with some of these folks, man, I am so proud they all love it an all. I go out there, fist thing I hear is the Christmas songs, "Rudolph the red nose reindeer," Santa Claus is commin to town," and Santa yellin "ho ho ho". Ever one, laffin, pointin, an just havin a good ole time.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I yell out real loud, howdy folks, and merry Christmas, an ever one cheers real loud.<br />
</div><div>I turn around to admire my creation thet I had done for all these here folks.......<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Remember thet christmas story.....<br />
</div><div>And To My Surprise, What Shoud Appear...<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>On the roof top, I guess thet storm had done smthin, to thet displa.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>There was Santa, yellin, ho ho ho, Rudolphs nose, just a blinkin, cept Rudold, insteada leapin in the air, like takin to flight, was rockin back and forth, along with Santa. Man here I had Santa, humpin Rudolph, with lights a blinkin, ho ho ho, and Rudolph the red nose reindeer, all the while Santa is commin to town.<br />

This has been more fun than I have ever had in my life. Travelin the country, meetin people, gettin stoned, learnin new stuff, and experiencing way too much.We got on the road agin, headed for Green Bay, Wisconsin.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Man I knew it would be a big city and all, what with it being, the home of ole Vince Lombardi and all, but, didn't even think about all the cheese and cheese stuff. Man, I saw more cheese stuff than I could believe.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Saw this great big ole red barn, and felt more at home, then found out it was a restaurant, put a whole new thinkin bout, "what you think you was born in a barn". Guess these cheese people never heard that one afore. cause they just looked at me in a blank stare. Till I said, man I love cheese, then they all hugged me and all. So we smoked a doob and made friends.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Genes' sister and brother-in-law, let us crash at their house, for a couple of weeks while we checked out the sites. They got these light houses that are so cool there with a funny name, canna island, door county,<br />
</div><div>kinda sounded like a door way to a bunch a lilies, man was I wrong. Thet has to be one of the purtiest place on earth.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>We went just about ever where, even to this lake named after a kangaroo, at first I thought maybe, Captain Kangaroo, lived there, along with Mr.Green Jeans, but nope just a real purty lake, with these real big white trees, never seen the such, we only got them ole pine trees, back home.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>We really didn't have a whole lotta money to go and do a whole lot, but we had a bunch of fun, got drunk, got stoned some more, then decided we better head home.<br />
<br />
We decided to take the scenic route back home, thought maybe it would be fun to travel long side the ole Mississippi River, coming back.<br />
<br />
First stop was in, St. Louis, saw that big ole arch, and an ole paddle boat. Made me wanna be an ole time river gambler, but you gotta have money for that and I had NONE.<br />
<br />
Next stop was in one of these road side camp thingys. We met some other young folks , kinda like us, just out havin a good time and all.<br />
They asked us if we wanted to share some of their mushrooms, now, I had never ate no mushrooms before and I was really hungry, I had seen em before, in the restaurants, and they really looked good.<br />
These folks weren't even cookin em though, they said you just eat em raw, should known right then these folks is a little crazy. Stoopid me ate em any way.<br />
<br />
Very soon like, I was sicker than a dog, and ever thin was blurry, slowed down, and just plain ole weird. Found out, these damn things, were some kinda halucegeenine thing. Now, I didn't mind gitten stoned, mind you, but this, trippin thing, weren't for me. I guess, once a hippie hick, always a hippie hick, no full blown offical, hippie here. If that is what, trippin, was all about, I was goin back to sippin moon shine, least that way I could sleep it off. This shi.. seemed to go on and on, you couldn't just lay down and go to sleep neither. It finally wore off, and I was happy to git outta thet place, whew.<br />
<br />
I, decided, No more stops, I just wanted to git back home, sleep in my own bed, and just plainole git back to normal doins. My hippie hick days was commin to an end.<br />
<br />
Sos, after whut was spose to be a four day weekend, startin on Memorial day, and endin the week after, turned into a cross country trip, we finally got home in time for the Labor Day festivities. Never mind that, I slept right through it, in my own comfortable bed, back on campus. I went and cut my hair all off, shaved my beard, quit smokin, and becane just another student, and I never looked back.<br />
<br />
TILL NOW, LOL, I guess them were, magic mushrooms, after all.<br />
<br />
