Well, that explains that, your scrawny ass drew her in just like a magnet. Your scrawny ass must be a cherub magnet. Thats better than it being somebodys boot magnet. There are good, kindhearted people left here in this world. randyp

I saw my second Cat "propietary" truck this week. It was being shuttled somewhere. Guy was driving it, had a super long wheel base, all lil factory stickers still on back window and temporary mud flaps. I still think they look too volvoish. I would like to crawl up in one and scratch around a lil. If one hangs around long enough to become used, 60 years or so, I may try one. randyp

I will take a septic tank any day of the week in place of outhouse. I smelled too much of that thing growing up. I can handle working on septic tank better than cleaning a dairy lagoon. Stinking ass lagoons fulll of cow doodoo,,no,,fermented cow doodoo, stinks so bad, smell gets in your clothes, truck cab, hair?, well, maybe those with hair. randyp

Young man, we had a talk bout this, go straight to bed, no supper for you,,,and go straight to sleep, leave yourself alone! randyp

Im gonna try to load some pics tommorrow Tom of some old saws i still got in barn. One of them is a real doozy. A Poulan 71A. It will still crank, air filter has just gone to pieces on it. It weighed close to 30 lbs. It was the first saw I ever bought, I was 16 and even back then it cost close to 500.00. Its a real pro saw. It was before days of forestry approved exhaust, and you can look in exhaust port and see piston. Prolly why im wearing hearing aids now. I did a lot of hand loading starting out, then a guy around was making pulpwood winches out of axles and brake drums, and I started winch loading. Did that a few years and bought a skid steer case uniloader with a woodstick grapple on it and really got after the wood then. Like I said, really miss those days, that resin smell, chiggers, ticks, snakes, parts of my anatomy,,,randyp

I guess yall see those "measuring sticks" duct taped to bottom of saws and sticking up. From the end of that stick, to the tip of the bow spur, was 5foot 4inches, to keep wood truck legal. I invented that, shoulda got me a dern patent,,randyp

I still gots bout 15 or 20 bows hanging in barn, and the pins in my shinbone from the effects of one. They were some real back savers. I liked the hell out of them. randyp

heh heh,,Ole Tom dont never delete nuttin from his computer library. The reason the guy dont have a hat is, believe it or not, way too much thick hair, didnt need one, hair makes a good cushion. All I gots now up there is a solar panel. Yes, the truck is a GMC with a V6 gasoline engine, 5 speed with 2 speed axle, and close to 5 cords of wood on it. It dont show it picture, but had one hell of a big braden winch on front of it, onliest problem with that, it only had a 1 way PTO. LOL,,,had to chop the winch cable loose from a pine tree one time to get a loose from it, or get clutch out of gear. Dam, them was some good ole days! I am out of positive checks today Tom, will catch u one later. I sure miss those days,,,,randyp

I wonders where she put her torch for that picture? randyp

Yes, but I bet they still sweated, profusely,,,,so,,,,,,,,sincerely, randyp

I commend you greatly Olive, you are teaching him the way its posed to be done. World needs more dads like that. Too many just hand them whatever they want,,,I salute you my friend. randyp

heh heh,,,reminds me of me in my younger days,,,(and not the one on top dammit) randyp

Yeah Jim, That movie is definitely a classic. I guess I shoulda said earlier "I was sweating like a whore in church." randyp

Gawsh o mighty Tom,,,I jest couldnt do that, nerves would go haywire! randyp

heh heh,,,"We're in a tight spot boys!" I think my favorite part of that movie is when he was in store for hair balm, he told him he would have to order it, take 3 weeks, he asked for car part, man told him he would have to order it, take 3 weeks, Ole george says "Dam, This place is a geographical oddity, 3 weeks from anywhere!" LOL randyp

I think me and the missus may get nekkid and go out back and "roll in mud"...randyp

Well, its a Texas thang, sweating like a hog, dont know why. Its just a saying dernit, I know a dern hog dont sweat. I have run enough of them with 4 wheelers, and watched them keel over and die. You cant just go round diagramically fractionalizing and invertalizing ever lil ole silly thing I says. I was sweating like a skinny homosapien then dernit, or neanderthal. Any way you turn it, sweat glands were doing double duty. You need to stay outta Meenards too, (never heard of that store myself). alrighty then, sincerely, randyp

I agree with you on that, sure would. I did about the same thing myself, never made eagle. I regret that a lot also. It is a very good character building organization. randyp

Im gonna mail you one of Other Dogs secret agent, super duper snooper cameras. randyp

Happy Birthday! randyp

Its hot here too, but, its summer, its posed to be hot. I just go round sweating like a hog, change shirts coupla times a day. Humidity is really bad. Oh well,,,,,,,,,,,,,randyp

I left friday with a group of 7 young Order of the Arrow candidates, I was a candidate also. We went back to Okla. scout camp for ordeal weekend. We each slept apart in the woods, no food, worked all day next day under a code of silence, no food. It was a good soul searching time. We finally got a good meal last night, had ceremony and passed and got our sashes. I was proud of all them, they did really well, even with the code of silence. We got home bout 1 this morning. Im proud to be a member and i know they are too. randyp

Vinny, Vinny, vinnie, ninnie, Vinster, vinsterony! Do not be calling your father stupid, no, no, no young lad! He prolly did you a favor letting you try some beer at young age. Dernit Vinster, just trust us old folks wisdom. We know what you need and when you need it, even ass whoopings. Trust us, listen and learn. Dont wanna see nunna that "stupid dad" bidness, sprout! Now I isnt mad at you, just advising. I think you are a remarkable young lad. randyp

heh heh, All good points my friends, especially Rob and his "sandusky" idea. LOL,,,I wish he would come to my house and eat so i could spit (or shit) on his burger. People is nuts,,,randyp

I saw a lil of Jersey Shore one night, very little, all i wanted to do was hit that one goofy looking fellow with the silly looking hair over the head with a 2 by 4. (or maybe a wood splitting maul,,,8 pound preferably) randyp
