Very Important Day In History

[Leo Tanner]

Lil is obsessed with learning Seminole.  It's a tough one too. 

The Evangelists mostly talk about "a personal relationship with God (and/or Jesus)".  In my personal experience, I've never seen two personal relationships that were identical.  So I guess we ought not to be surprised that each of us has a different type of relationship with the Divine.

In the final analysis, IMHO, all of the world's religions have more -- MUCH more -- in common than we have differences.  Too bad we have to exaggerate those differences.

      It's a fight as old as time and no, it doesn't make any sense.  I'm surprised the Astro Zorians aren't still around fighting for their piece of the holy land.  The cost of "holy" wars can not be matched by any political conflict in history, and we've had some doozeys.

I enjoy my quiet time that I spend with my dog being outside with her. On the ranch, I enjoyed the time on horseback riding fence and checkin' cattle early in the mornin'.

The Blue Ridge Mountains. Just sit still ‘n look.

Take the boat out onna summer night. The bay is often very calm. Rock ya a l’il is all. Go out on the fore deck, sit ‘n lean against the cabin lookin’ ta the sky. Billions of bright stars from horizon to horizon. Shootin’ stars ta see.

we had lived in town for 10 years before we moved here, when I was a kid, it seemed like there were just a sky full of stars, in town, you just didn't see that many stars,  after moving out here, you could see em all again, the milky way is just as bright as when I was a kid,  we'll sometimes ride down to the barns at night to check the birds,  when we come back, we'll just stand out there and admire all the stars in the sky,

Arcey, I envy you having had all that experience with sailing. I've spent a lot of time fishin' but never got to do any sailin'.

[Charlie Bowdre]

Texas , isn't it funny how everyone has a certain something or place to call their own . And how we all envy  the other guys.

 I grew up in a sea town , and never think twice about on the water.

I read your post about riding fence and say .'What a lucky sob' to be able to do that . Then you comment on Arcey's quiet drifting time ..and how you envy him .

All in all,  each of us who can share their special times here on the post .. is what makes it unique and in the end what makes us the same
.
Wee Uhh  , nuff of that .. I'll be into the Scotch in a minute thinking about my Dad , gone these 20 years , and the woods trips we had.!!

You guys take care and thanks for being here.

I know what you mean Dutchy... I'm a sea-faring man myself and envied ranch style of life for some time... now I'm up here in Flagstaff and enjoying that small town atmosphere and the big sky and the porch out front of my dorm.  Good thing though is I was a river rat way before I was ever sailing the ocean.  A 24' trailerable sloop is my idea of heaven now, her floatin' in the breeze on Lake Powell or Mead.

My spot is The Sandhills of Newbrassky, Tex we were just on the edge of them, I like being deep in them, can see for a long ways and few folks or their buildin' to spoil te view.

Dutchy, I lost my dad 20 years ago. He was 59, too young to die.  Willie, My Dad and I drove out to Lake Mead in 69 and spent Christmas and New Years out there. It was just he and I. I pulled the boat and he pulled the Travel trailer. We drove from the Texas Panhandle all the way out to Vegas. My Dad was the Sheriff of our County for almost 10 years before he passed away.

So very true.

On this day in 1968, the North Koreans seized the USS Pueblo.

oh don't worry I am.  It's going to cost about $400 to build my sloop.  She's awesome and I have a Bronco to tow her.  Right now I'm just trying to figure out where to build her, I'm thinking of making a "club" out of it so I can build her here on campus!

here's a pic:

We come on the sloop John B, My grandfather and me, round Nassau town we did go.

[Willie Dixon]

Drinking all night, got into a fight, yeah yeah, I feel so broke up, let me go home!
favorite Beach Boys song!
thinking of naming her that.

[Charlie Bowdre]

I am SO glad ya didn't do a vocal..
Great song though and would be a great name. My buddy has a sloop calls her Hope She Floats.

Greatest Scotch bar in the marina!!

Dutchy, That friend of mine that had the alcohol drag boat nemed it "Devil's Plaything".  The boat was painted black and an artist had airbrushed a picture of a beautiful blond wearing only a bikini bottom standing next to the Devil. He had his arm around her.  Willie, you are a man after my own heart.

I was reading the news headlines on the internet this morning. The woman appointed to Hillie's seat in the senate is Pro-Gun. That otta stir up those Liberals in New York.

[Arcey]

The boat I crewed aboard was ‘This Side Up’.

Gillibrand is from the Hudson Valley, Upstate. People in New York, away from the cities, are pretty much normal. Touted to be a conservative democrat with a 100% vote rating from the NRA. The lib/socialists aren’t happy with the appointment or Patterson. Many sayin’ they won’t support him for Governor when he has to run. Nice ta see harmony amongst them folks.

Ennyways, she can’t be no werse for the rest of the country than the Hildabeast.

I love it when a plan comes together!
