Land open to enjoy like that is precious

The hood and most of the continental kit were long gone.

This is a true story and if you are faint of heart,, best you go on to another posting..

This is a completely true story that happened while I was cutting firewood with my son, Hunter last fall.

We were both running chainsaws. About 8" inches of nice white snow lay on the ground and we were cutting up a dead tree.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked at Hunter who had a strange look on his face...

Very worried he motioned for me to shut off my chainsaw and then said "are you ok? "
Uh ... yea why ? "Your bleeding pretty bad" WHAT ? I ain't bleeding "There's blood everywhere" ... and it's not me he said.

We looked around and about that time ... a **** off Squirrel had run up on a branch with no tail ... we had chainsawed right thru his cozy home and that squirrel went crazy and ran up on a limb then turned and looked at us about 10 seconds. ....and jumped into another tree and
scurried off.

Hunter says to me: where do you think he's going ?" I looked at him with a straight face and said...Probably into town ... to the ... Re-Tail store

found this on my old car forum

Boog ,,sorry ,,getting old I guess...If I ever get back down to your Arkansas ,,I would like to meet up with you and the other Larry .. Remember,,, that I lived not far from you in Possum Grape when a young kid working in the rock crusher up the hill from that little spot along the highway .

In all honestly I have to take care of the wife and so this being for sure is iffy ,,but if I ever do I would invite anyone who could make it for a round up of guys and gals from this forum .. I believe Leon is only about 500 miles away and Tim is free as the wind ..maybe some day there will be a song about all of us here on this forum ,,sorta like "Hillbilly Heaven " by Tex Ritter.

**Boog** · 03-27-2019, 07:07 AM

I am kidding Larry. Your reply double posted just like Tim's have been randomly doing. Yessir I remember you telling me you once lived at Possum Grape, just up the road. I wonder how much that town has changed since you were there.
You take care of the family my friend. I'm sure we will all be together one day.

I could write a song real quick. Just get the first verse down and let it repeat! I'd call it The CK Truckers Hoedown.

**davischevy** · 03-29-2019, 12:02 PM

Man, my life has gotten busy, but I am thankful for my health.

**special-K** · 03-29-2019, 11:25 PM

I think about that all the time and count my lucky stars

The burglar broke into a house and was looking around with his flashlight when he was startled by a voice, "Jesus" is watching you."

He pointed the flashlight toward the sound and all he saw was a parrot in a cage. He asked, "Did you say that.".

The parrot, "Yep.".

The burglar said, "Who are you to tell me Jesus is watching?".

The Parrot, "Moses".

Burglar, "Who names a parrot Moses?".

"The same people who name a Rottweiler Jesus."

**davischevy** · 04-08-2019, 08:57 PM

A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas, and talked with an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."

The rancher said, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there.....,"as he pointed out the location.

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!"

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land! No questions asked or answers given! Have I made myself clear.......do you understand?"

The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull.....With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....

"Your badge, show him your BADGE........ ! !"

Hey Tigger, I guess your off the hook on painting my 55. I figured up expenses and all, and decided it would be "cheaper and faster" if I did it myself.

I just bowed up a sprayed it today. I was going to check it for runs tomorrow, but we just got the call and my newest grandson decided tonight is the night to grace us with his presence, so we are headed for the hospital.

**special-K** · 04-09-2019, 12:51 AM

I was going to say something about the badge joke. Then I saw the picture with your '55 in the painting process. But before I could say anything about that I read you have (or had) a grandson arriving tonight. So, glad to see you are gettin' the paint done, What color will it be? Funny joke every time I hear it. And congratulations on another grandson fishing buddy!

**72 tigger** · 04-09-2019, 06:15 AM

Paint looks good- any flaws will “buff right out “. Congrats on the grandson- got a 4 wheeler waiting for him?
