Turtles

Did I ever tell ya bout the time.......it were back in 47' when I lived on a farm up there in Missouri. I had me a little red wagon what was my "pick'em up", an 18 wheeler, a farm tractor, and live animal carrier. Went down to the creek one day and started pick'n up all my turtles to take back to the house. Had a whole load of them. I was turn'n them loose in the front yard when here comes "moms" shak'n her head at such a sight. Then she sat me down for my first lesson on "family". Each one of them turtles was someones mom, pop, sister or brother....and I had done took them away from their relatives. Since that day, I have never removed a critter from where I found him....or if I do, it's for their protection against the wildest critters ever invented...humans.
That's all I have to say bout that......Gump!!!

Turned out to be a really nice day. Sunshine, no wind and 68 degs. Perfect weather for sit'n on "da porch" sip'n a cup and think'n. And that what I did.

Old Billy Bob went look'n at them riverboats again yesterday and I want you lookie here, fount the same boat for $100 less. Now that's a deal. Put me some change in my debit account...now gonna order my boat. Then I got to figger out how to install remote control in it. Boy howdy...can hardly wait. Bet ya a dollar it gonna cost a grand fore I finish.

  1. BB I should have teeched you how to tie flies.
    Guarenteed to catch your limit of trout daily.
    Should have gave you a couple of samples while you was here.
    That way you would have a hobby too.

  9. No offense taken MC cause I ain't tryin to win any beauty contests. Crazy might be a better term though. ;)

    BB, at least a boat should last longer than the planes. When I used to fly them I spent a fortune rebuilding or building after crashes.
