You can mostly catch up on what went on around here if you go to the horse and dog thread and read "think it is just colic" that perdy much sums up what we've been doin the last couple weeks.

The suspense is killing me; cain't hardly wait. :???: :? :wink: :-)
Turn left !!! alright bear to the right we're almost there ........where are you taking me elmo I asked,why we're going to the best eatin place south of the Rio Grande boy pull in, we're here .......The "OSO Negro Cantina" I said ? dont look like no eatin place to me,well it is sez elmo they'll fix you a steak while I talk to a couple friends of mine.
I get seated in the dimly litted cantina and order a steak while elmo goes to the bar to see a friend of his,I had'nt finished my beer when elmo gets back and sez I hafta go down the road a few minutes,see a friend,he could see the look on my face and started sayin I know I know but It will just take a minute.
Now there are several things you dont do in Mexico # 1 is, be a gringo by yourself,especially in a border town cantina.
But elmo dont listen good and about that time the waiter showed up with my steak, as elmo walked out the door.
I dont spook easy but,being left a foot by myself in a border town cantina on the wrong side of the Rio Grande had me a mite nervous,I just had a gut feeling ........."senor" come quickly its you friend a lady said as she ran up to my table,...hurry senor "es muy importante" the policia have you friend !!! Well that did'nt take long I thought to my self,as I hurried outside,sure enough the police had ole elmo surrounded and hand cuffed and he was sure mad........lemme go you @#%&*#@*&*&^$ meskin $&#@#@*+_^% about that time a paddy wagon pulled up, three mexican police men heaved ole elmo inside and away they went, Im wondering what the Hell is going on,here comes a wrecker hooks on to elmo's truck and away it goes,this aint looking to good I thought.
I asked the police man that was left at the scene what happened ? Where are you taking him I asked ? We take him to jail for alcoholy breath and running over a man said the police man.
About that time I realized I better start thinking fast,I walked back to the cantina and had them call me a cab,as I got on the north side of the river I felt a whole lot better,twenty dollars more and we pull into the ranch......man that ole white Dodge pickup of mine looked so good sitting there I could have kissed it......................good luck

You mean you just left poor ol' elmo there to rot in a mexican jail?
Well shoot, and I thought you guys was friends. :???:

Well now I have to get elmo,but I need some advice, I just happen to know a respected lady that lives in Matamoros that has an attorney in her family,luckily she was home and said she and her brother would meet me at the jail.
We get to the jail and there is a short trial,it was short and bitter for elmo,first the judge made him pay the arresting officer,then he was required to pay the paddy wagon driver,next he had to pay off the chief jailer,naturally the judge had to be paid,the attorney had to have his fee,even the court baliff was there with his hand out,when ole elmo was finally released he walked into the jail parking lot where his pick up had been impounded.
A lady in the office said please tip the parking lot attendant,he works for no salary,only tips,and it is customary to tip him........elmo exploded....... I've already payed every "SOB"in Mexico and I'LL be *&#$$@,if I ever pay another @*&$%#@@.........luckily we were allowed to leave.
That nite around the camp fire as elmo was eatin that ole hay maker stew,without complaints I might add,I asked him what happened.....Well he sez,you know how thick those damn street vendors get,I was slowly driving my pickup when I accidentially bumped one,he got up and brushed himself off and insisted he was not hurt,and was heading off when this *&$%$## street cop started making a big deal of it....guess I should have handed him a twenty ? Yes I replied I believe you should have.
Well no harm done elmo said,maybe we better break camp and head north bout day break,its too hot down here....I couldnt agree more...............good luck
