  Slim you getting bored at home?

[Silver Creek Slim]

Nope, I have plenty of projects to do. I installed an electrical outlet in the garage yesterday and I am refinishing the bathroom door's frame. Then, I will refinish the five panel door, which will be a pain in the kiester.  I have more outlets to install in the garage and sheetrock to put up.

Does a single worm count?

depends on when ya catch him up toward the top or if ya  have to chase him down to the bottom

[Delmonico]

I'm home, it was bad when I left work, went through town instead of the high-way, was almost white out when I left, down by the pen it would have been, ran out of it just before down-town.

Slim, looks like I have a new trainee, one of the guys I was talkin' to when you called, civilian Provost to the 1st Nebraska Infantry, the other guy there is the chaplin.  My new trainee also went to high school with my other trainee Oscar and was friends, ain't seen each other since, might be a fun surprise.  Turns out Rita used to work with him and his daugher and Andrea are friends, turns out he's been to the house.

I hate to admit it, but my stomach is not as strong as it used to be.  After a certain incident (or incidents) Christmas Eve 2005, I have sworn off the stuff! 

I know I called AnnieLee that year and I think I called you, Del.  I don't remember if I talked to you or to your machine, though...

   1922: Annie Oakley shoots 98 out of 100 clay pigeons, breaking the existing women's trap-shooting record.


Annie Oakley (1860-1926), American markswoman and performer, who was associated with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show from 1885 to 1902. She was born Phoebe Anne Oakley Mosee in a pioneer log cabin in Darke County, Ohio. She was the sensation of America and Europe because of her almost uncanny accuracy with a rifle, a weapon she began to use at the age of six to help provide food for her family. As a young woman she was one of the best-known professional game hunters in the country. Performing with a rifle, she could hit a playing card thrown into the air a dozen times before it finally touched the ground. She was the model for the protagonist in the musical comedy Annie Get Your Gun (1946) by Irving Berlin.
