BMR, I'm still around. Read mostly. Trying to keep up but old age is making it hard. Finally got a new computer and one of them new-fangled satellite connections. Got R2D2 sitting in my front yard right out the picture window that wife decided she had to have to enjoy the view. Now every...

Spent a week helping neighbor with some fencing. He also has a city job and didn't have the time to do it right. I am retired and have nothing but time - besides, my wife doesn't like me to hang around the house giving her advice on how to clean and cook. She always seems to want to vacuum...

Been awhile since my computer cooperated and let me log in - probably a good thing since I was addicted to the site. As some of you will remember, my wife decided I was working too hard and sold my cattle to the neighbor a while ago while I was in the hospital with my fifth heart attack. She...

Well, I got up early this morning, put on my hat and boots and took off at a dead run for the barn. Got about a hundred yards and started having chest pains and stopped running. Looked up at the sky and the clouds were rolling in. Walked back to the house and it started sprinkling and the...

Not up to too much lately. Just sit here and watch this computer. Last heart attack took alot out of me and wife slowed me down by selling off all my stock. Kinda got back in the game when one of my twin sons moved to the other side of town and started a small spread while he was working a...

If you two are going to pull off that stunt, please let me know when so I can start on my raft for the flood.

After finally getting caught up on the chores I went to my doctor to determine the source of my sickness. The doctor, after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked me in the eye and said, "I've got some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it's very bad. You'd best put your affairs in...

Try starting each sentence with the phrase "I love you, but..." This has worked for me for years now. Wife and I argue more about the silly little things now that we are both retired and I am under foot more. However, using that phrase "I love you, but..." before continuing to argue keeps you...

Had some nut shoot at my dogs in my field. They had just left the patio that I was sitting on and I was watching them when I heard the shooting. Fortunately, he missed - I didn't. I managed to put several .30-.30 holes in his car before he could get out of range. I tried to follow him in my...

My third wife woke up in the middle of the night to find that I was not in the bed. She put on her robe and went downstairs to look for me and found me sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of me. I was in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watched as I wiped...

I really didn't need that image in my head right now. :)

Thanks Old Dog. Stirred up a lot of old memories.

Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them. --------------- Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess." --------------- Only a Southerner can...

I understand your situation. My wife is from Wisconsin and I am from Arizona, but was raised in West Texas. When we retired I had no desire to move to a cold place and she missed the season changes. The folks from California had started moving in around Arizona and the price of land had...

I'm about 4 hours from Austin further north and east. Up in the pines. So you are moving from hurricane area to tornado alley. My son said the land prices around Austin is rather high - didn't say how much, but he can afford it - he is some kinda' wheel for Coca Cola and makes more in a year...

Nothing much happening around here. Thanks for the interest. Running my son's place in his absence while he moves and my own place kinda' keeps me hopping and don't get much time to get on here. I try to get on here before bedtime to read what has been posted so I don't completely lose track...

Used to go there frequently in the 50's and 60's. Haven't been through there much since. The climate is good. Only a few days below freezing, but the wind blows alot. Humidity is high on average. Lots of land around the town and last I checked it was going for about $3000 an acre, depending...

Five and a half years at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and I never got to see land that pretty around there. Beautiful pictures and scenery. Thanks for sharing.

*A man that straddles the fence usually has a sore crotch. *A scratchin' like he had a shirt full of fleas. *About as busy as a hibernating bear. *Light an' take comfort in a frog squat. *He lets out a stud-horse whistle as would pull the picket pin of every filly 'round. *He's as slow acting as...

The rain finally started. Wind gusts of about 50 mph now, but only gusts. Had a couple of those little lawn windmills anchored in the yard. Wind took them out of their anchorage. Old tent in back still standing. Wish I had a camera - mother deer and a couple of babies standing under the...
