Yeah Elliott, he's bumming me out too now. I haven't started my taxes either. I dread it every year.
THEY should be giving all of us some money back out of the Democrats coffers. They've wasted over 40 million of OUR dollars on stupidity.
As long as the only thing you're pushing now is a pencil JC, I won't holler at cha, I imagine Cheryl is doing enough for both of us. You just keep followin orders and take care of yourself. You don't have much time to get all healed up, spring is just around the corner.

Jees, the things you miss when you don't check in for a week. JC, hope you are feelin better. Maybe you shouldn't be readin all this. Might make you laugh a time or two a split a gut  Twice I have had a knock at the door around 1 am. Both times the guy was drunk and had wrecked a car. The first one was concerned that his car might be in the road, so I took him with and drove to look. His car was 120 yards out in the chisel plowed field west of my house, upside down facing back towards the road. Second one had gone off the curve in front of my house and ended up a 75 yards from his exit point up on the hill in my neighbors field. Both of them should have had the Sheriff called to escort them, but I let them call somebody to come get them. Both of them had to have their cars towed later, which did involve the Sheriff's department. Probably the closest to a lost life, was Jan. 19, 1985. I was watching the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball game, just go into triple overtime and the neighbor came knocking. He came in holding the side of his face, saying it felt like a frozen slab of bacon. He said he needed a ride, and a guy was stuck a half mile North, still in his car. The guy had walked to my folks house and wanted a ride to Cordova, Mom told him NO, cause the roads were closed with 3 foot drifts everywhere.He had been drinking a bit much, or he would have know better than to be out in that weather. Mom or Dad called my neighbor across the road, because he had a 4 wheel drive truck. Marv took his truck down to pull him out, and the guy opened his door just before clearing a snow drift. The door caught in the drift and pulled he car back in the ditch. Marv drove home to get his 4230 JD to pull him out. When he turned around to get lined up with
the car, the fuel jelled up and the tractor died right in the middle of
the blacktop. Marv then walked to my house for help. It was around 0 to 5 degrees and a windchill of 25 below. When we got to the car, it was sitting sideways, half way in the ditch, with the drivers door open a bit and the car was running. All the exhaust was going in the door, and it took me a good 5-6 minutes to get the guy awake, and get him to shut the car off. I think he was just minutes away from dying from carbon monoxide poisoning.
He slept on a cot in the neighbors basement, the car and tractor stayed there till the next day, and he didn't even offer to pay the neighbor for having to tow his tractor back home. I don't know how the snowplow got by, but after the towtruck left, I saw the gouges in the blacktop where the wheel chocks dug in when they pulled the car out. I think it was scrapped, because it had melted into the snow, then froze in place overnight. I think the front steering gear was pretty messed up time it was out on the road.

Mark, that sounds like Marching orders don't it.
DJ, that looks like a girl to me on the firemans back...
And ta tell
ye the truth, Haven't seen neither of them boys, but ol' shameless
made his presence known a few times around here... an created work
instead of helping... On the other hand, it's nice knowing that if I juss holler, ole Ted and TBone, they will come
runnin to help me out... But the nephew has been feedin the feed, and
puttin the hay out and feedin the wood stove, and had made a few swipes
through the yard to clear the snow... but I go gets the mail and sorta
watch him work an open the gates, an carry some light stuff...
Otherwise I been entertaining myself with tryin to do them infernal taxes (AAARGH) lately and harrassin the boys on here and reading a book on Ben Franklin. Funny
part was, first few days I had within 'easy' reach the old land line
phone and my cell phone and another phone that had wifi capabilities on
it that I could use to get on the net if I felt like it... None of em rang
for me... except the nurse the next morning from the horsepital askin
how I felt. Told her sore. LOL And no Joe, no pizza or beer, or Black Label... an no more cake or cookies either.

I blew it up and I believe it is her hand covering her specialty, unless that is her hand down at his right side waist. One of her hands is between her knee and his elbow on his chest. He has one hand on her thigh and one on her heel. So if that is her hand on his right side waist, then that is some funky specialty she has going on there.

C. Tucker, thats quite the stories there. Never know what you might see in or experience in life... good thing these fellers weren't morgue material. Reminded me of a few years back, I was feeding hay late, in the dark when a fellow went flying by... and then it looked like he parked on the edge of the road... When I got done and drove back to the buildings, he was still there and realized he was not on the road. So I hopped in the truck and drove down and he was sitting in the car and doing nothing. He got out of the car and said he slipped off the curve...? he was on the inside of the curve. Asked if he had help coming ... no, asked if I would pull him out. I looked and maybe I could but thought about it a little bit and I reached over the side and pulled out my scoop shovel and said, "Here, take the shovel and shovel all the snow out to the road... another fellow stopped and had a nice tow strap and we would use that instead of the chains I had... Kid got done shoveling and told him to hook the strap up to the vehicle... and I put the other end over the goose neck ball and drug him out. He offered to pay but we told him to put his money away and to just help some one else out that needs a hand.
Thinking back 40+ years ago, in the summer evening, we were in the house and heard a crash, like it was just outside the door and the electric went out. I stepped out and tried finding where the noise had come from and what knocked the juice out... finally looked down the road and the power pole was sheared off... and a 68 Dodge Charger was sitting on the stump of it. Almost a quarter mile away. So walked down there and seen the skid marks start after the bridge... Bridge was high and people would go fast to get that 'lift' off of it. But this evening, the kid here was hurrying to get home preparing for a wedding in a few days. He normally would have been drunk... but wasn't this day, his bride to be had laid the law down to him in no certain terms that she would not even think of living her life with an alcoholic... So he was straightening up his act if he wanted to marry Lana. She was a really cute gal. Anyways, when I got there, his first words were, Whew, sure glad I wasn't drinking... and then he said when he went over the bridge, the car just started veering off the road on it's own and he had tried to steer it back onto the road to no avail... and the car went right up the bank and hit the pole. If the car had just gone just 6 feet farther over, all ol' Dennis would have hit was our barbwire fence and had his car yet... I went up to it and looked underneath and seen a tie rod had popped out of the arm to the driver side wheel. Evidently he had not tightened it sufficiently, nor put a cotter pin in. He was going to get the car repainted the next day for the big occasion an their honeymoon. He wanted a beer so bad that day but knew if he did have just one, it would change everything for him... Think he made a good choice, Lana married him and they're still together.

Nope, the stories about / on/ in the firehouse stay in the firehouse.
Well, alright,,,,,just this one time....
Had a call, 2:30 or so in the morning. Got to the apartment house and the upstairs neighbor said that they had smoke coming up through the floor. (they had the old time registers) So we break open the little window on the back door and enter. Yep, ALL kinds of smoke! I asked my buddy what he thought the smell was and he says burnt pizza. I asked him how he knew that,,,,,,,,,,but that's one of those stay in the firehouse stories...... Anyway, we turn the oven off and then go to open the front door and some windows to air it out, but when we get to the front living room, here is this doll, layin naked on the couch, passed out as cold as an ice cube. Well, I stole a blanket off the bed and covered her up and then proceeded to open the front door and some windows. Oh yeah, did I mention that this was in the middle of ole man winter? Well, after we got the place aired out with the positive pressure fan, the house is now COLD and low and behold, she wakes up, freezing. First thing she wants to know is if the pizza is done. Then she sees us all in our gear and then wants to know who covered her up. I bet I had the biggest grin on my face, cause she pointed right at me. BOY was she drunk!! You ever see a 16" pizza after it's been in the over for about an hour? It very much resembles a discus.. But her ........ that's another one of those in the firehouse stories...

JC I hope you’re feeling ok. Taxes make me ache without having surgery first.
Ok so when I was a young’en maybe 19 or 20. I gassed up my 650 Yamaha and headed for Colorado. I headed to my brothers first in Arapahoe for a visit. I was then to head to Lajunta(Joe knows where Lajunta is) to help dad with planting. I was beat down after a flat in Missouri and the 700 mile trip. I spent the weekend with my brother and his family and headed for Lajunta Sunday afternoon.
West of Arapahoe is no mans land. Nothing for miles and miles. I was near Wild Horse when I see a car on the side of the road. As I get closer I see a young lady and what appears to be a young boy. I pull over behind the car and stop. I couldn’t help noticing how pretty that girl was. She was pretty nervous of me. Finally she said she had a flat and no spare. She said she had been there over 3 hrs and no one stopped. I asked if she had a jack she said yes. Lug wrench she said yes.
I jacked up the car and removed the tire. I took all my stuff off the bike and tied the tire to the sissy bar and headed back to civilization. I had to replace the tire with a good used tire which was very cheap I believe $15.00
I gassed up and headed back to wild Horse. I put the tire on and put her things back in the car. I started towing my things back on the bike and she walked up and kissed me.
She said she was moving to Colorado for a job but didn’t have much extra cash and wondered if there was any other way she could repay me. I told her to just make it to her destination safe. The little boy gave me a big hug and got in the car. She walked behind my Motorcycle and said Arkansas??? I said yes. She said you mean we’ve been on the side of the road for 6 hrs now and the help is from a guy from Arkansas on a motorcycle? The then told me she was from Rogers Arkansas about 20 miles from me. I asked why she was so far from home? She never answered.

Good afternoon to you Ted, Glad u canceled that order with Shamerz... it is up to a warm 6 degrees and the sun shinin bright... almost need to go in disguise with them sunshades on...  ... How far nord are you going Ted, goin to tell the canutes to keep their cold up there? Like that idea.
Didn't think about flippin the 92 truck door upside down... just putting it on in a suicide door fashion... would that make it a arkincide ferd? Shameless should really like it then, I think.

Know what you mean Tbone, about those GM stupid plastic door handles!! Had one go out on my 99 Buick Park Ave. It's STILL got a lift lever sticking up next to the window glass. I even bought a new handle about,,,,,,,,oh 10 years ago. JC, I'm heading up to Minong to meet OldAC from Michigan up at Hendersons Country Foods. It's a stretch for me!! Whist I knew somebody that was closer could pick up the wheels for me. Then I could come up some other time when I HAD time... TOO many sticks in the fire right now and I still have to get MY taxes done. Mama hasn't started to nag YET.... Sure glad I'm not hearing any stories about chu doin something you're NOT supposed to be doing. Say, what's Cheryl's phone #? Then I can check with the boss and see if'n you're behavin!
