Coffee & ph00 are ready.
Bobby has a tough talk but once he sees us all there...he will adjust.
I met Bobby a few yrs back. When we went to meet him and his wife, there he was in his painted on Speedo. At first I thought I must have the wrong camp site and kept rolling but then he jumped out in front of the truck.
His rig was the only one with FL tags so I was stuck.

We had a good visit. We will have an even better visit over the winter at his place this time.
Gator soup. Coyote burgers. mmmmmmm



No storms here last night. Expecting some today though.

Yep. Funny how we fixed this problem with a small detachment of Marines 200 years ago, but we can't fix it now...

Mornin. Last day at the house, going to Cali tomorrow for a school. Everyone here was talking about weight the other day, I've gotta drop a few pounds before I go... I'm 206 now, gotta be 202 or under. Tubby.

Ya'll have a good one. I'm gonna go to work for about an hour, then come home and pack.

Mornin' all,

Ummm I'm here. Chugging and read the trivia of the day as posted by Chaikwa. Wife off to work, I get reddy to be the lunch laddy today. The school has TAKs testing for the kiddlets so the lunch times are when they did wracking their brains.
Wild weather in the country again sorry for those who were wiped out with the tornadoes, Had some to the north and east of Houston. No rain here yet, just windy. High fire danger, red flag alerts. It has been so long with out rain having power outages. Texas City had major outage when salt and chemicals built up on the insulators and flashed over. The power company is pressure washing their equipment. Major power outage on Galveston Island, about 12,000 with out power. Dunno what caused it.
I have not got into the size and weight discussion. I have shrunk with age. Years ago, 5' 7" now 5' 5" 150 lbs, 34" belt. Lost weight since starting work.

Baby daughter,42, is hitting the road from Snowmass village, CO driving a u-haul with a friends worldly goods to Burton, TX. She will be here for my nephews memorial service on Saturday. Also son flying in on Friday.

Have not put 5er Bob's pasture in the GPS yet.

Looked close at ofcmarc pix of the operation. I think that is were the aliens implanted a chip. The markings on his neck are the model and rev level.

The dragon is restless this morning.

Have a good un, and be safe out there.

Davey

Just a fly by, headed to the doctor. We got hit hard here by the weather this morning. The squall kine that passed through the metro area about 0600 had embedded tornadoes that didn't get picked up on radar, some made it to the ground. The total assessment will take some time but even before the system was out of the state power outages were past 227,000. There is at least one community that has already been totally closed down by local officials due to the damage. Many roads are impassable at this time. We're good at my house but more coming throughout the day and tonight. TTYL

Thats because two hundred years ago the marines were dispatched as marines with out their hands, feet and weapons tied behind their backs and a blind fold over one eye...

They also didn't lumberly march into battle to get picked off one at a time... they went in at a double- time and showed force quickly. Big difference back when the enemy had a single shot...

Boy, sure can tell you guys are greenhorns. You don't make Gator soup - - ya have gator tail. Dipped and deep fried - - mmmmmmmmmm wonderful - - really good for the cholesterol count - - helps keep it up there. Then you make some swamp cabbage with coyote chunks in that. Gator soup - - give me a break.

I adjust well - - really well - - just give me warning so the fiver can be ON THE ROAD OUT OF HERE......... Hey, come to think of it, that might be an interesting experience. Have a big campout of DTR gang in the pasture - - nice bon fire at night, play tiddlywinks and hopscotch. WOW, I can't wait. .........

Stayed here today tracking down materials and meeting with peoples. Back out tomorry.

Hey, we got a birth certificate from the Messiah. Isn't it amazing that suddenly it appears after spending millions trying to hide it. Now one can only guess how legit that piece of paper really is. We are in trouble, gang.

OK, gonna quit before I throw up......

Bob
