A little lady whoops I mean a little birdie let me in on this yesterday.
I told her I already had a sneaking suspicion about this.
She told me to call her after a work meeting yesterday.
My boss sure wanted to know why she wanted me to call her.
I’m excited about this.
Joe gonna get some real culture shock this weekend.
The little lady can introduce him to the town and I’ll introduce him to the country.

Nah, I'd leave her totally alone. Just like to chat with you and Thad over that mill, and maybe go out for a sammich or something. That is, if'n you got any time an energy left.

Steve I sent a pic of him to her at the very beginning. It was a pic of Joe just as he walked out of the locker room right after their first super bowl win. I should have found a different pic, maybe one with his shirt on but it’s all I could find at the time. She seemed to like that shirtless pic anyway. T-Bone get on n the road buddy. I’m ready to talk mill and eat some good southern cooking for sure.

Hey Joe... Be mighty careful when you get up into the Ozarks... they got some stuff up there you ain't probably ever seen down in New Messyco....
...it's called "Water"... |

We got lots of good BBQ (and Water), in Kansas City Joe. That snow machine will be blowin at you all the way as you head south on I-29 tryin to get away Ole Shenagin Shameless! Probably go right thru KC heading to Springfield and Arkansas
Ozarks are pretty in the April timeframe with the Dogwoods and Redbuds bloomin, turkeys a gobblin. I'm in KC but our farm is about an hour and half north of Springfield. My D17 came out of Springfield. And last weekend in April, I'm going to zip right past ole Thad and go camp out and canoe in the Buffalo River country!
Certainly going to be chasing down this thread daily to keep up with the budding romance!

Well olJoe been here 2 full days and I haven’t laid eyes on him yet.
It appears his new friend won’t share him with me.
I’m back to the grind stone tomorrow.
I just happen to be working for his new friend. Maybe they’ll come see me then?

You’re more tolerant than I Lil Vernon knows all the places not to go. We’ll see which one of us hits the job site first this morning. I’m betting it won’t be Vernon.
