No harm done!!! Actually, it was one heck of a fine compliment! I wouldn't have mentioned it, but if the need ever presented itself for you to mail something to me, those goof-balls at the post office would have a spazz attack and probably send it back as undeliverable or refused. I won't get started on the postal service right now...Holy Weekend. But will mention that postage is due to go up again next month.

Story time...
Back when I was a young feller in my late teens or early 20's, I always hung around Durango. CO to do my he77-raising and partying. There was a county fair and rodeo going on, and in those days I fancied myself to be a bad-a$$ed little cowboy dude. Probably the likker talking, but I did a little rodeoing on the amateur side before I decided it was too damned rough and breaking bones kinda stunk, for what amounted to a meager living...that kinda soured me. One night me and a bunch of friends were fart'n around on Main Street up there with our horses...I was a poor kid and didn't own a horse, but a friend always let me use one of theirs, Ol' Joe," so he'd get exercised. Anyway, a bet was made ($100) that I wouldn't ride Ol' Joe into Francisco's Restaurant and Cantina...went from just a bet to a double-dawg-dare. Huh! Can't pass that up, now can I...and still be called a man? The place was a local watering hole for the tourist crowd and had them batwing doors like in the cowboy movies. I rode Ol' Joe in there and made 'im rear up on his back legs like Roy Rogers...the tourists loved it...but the restaurant owners didn't like it...neither did the cops. Mighta been cuz Joe crapped on their rug. I got thrown in the hoosegow for drunk and disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Lucky, the little he77-raising friends came up with the bet money and bailed me out...my fine was $100. A couple of years ago, Connie, Gary, and myself were up there on a poker run on the motorcycles. One of the places we had to go to get our ticket punched and draw a card was Francisco's. I told Connie and Gary the story while we were walking over there from where we parked. When we went in, the whole entry way got redesigned after my prank. Now you walk through the batwing doors, but theres a little "T" shaped entryway that you couldn't bend a horse around enough to get him in. Connie said, "Gee, ya couldn't ride a horse in here now!" and the Mexican woman who owns it said, "A guy did that a few years ago!" I giggled, and the Mexican woman walked right up on my toes, looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Eeet, was youuuu, Seeen-yore!" with a grin on her face. Connie and Gary thought I was making it up until that lady, out of the clear blue, verified what I told them.

Great story Bill! That lady must be a real sport to remember that incident and be able to laugh at it too!

Thought I would stick my head in here and see how everyone is doing. Seems that I always have way too many irons in the fire anymore. I still think about you guys and sneak in for a peek on how everyone is doing from time to time, even when I don't post. Things have been a little complicated around here lately with some of the family out of work and me trying to keep all the loose ends tied up. One of the family cars bit the dust and I had to spend the last two weekends looking for a replacement. After looking at tons of junk that people wanted good money for, I finally found a creampuff. A '94 Bick Skylark with low miles which had been owned by a little old grandmother who kept it in the garage. It is far cleaner and lower miles than cars I looked at which were 10 years newer. The only thing really wrong with it was the cruise control wasn't working, but when I changed the oil in the car, I found a broken vacuum line to the cruise control servo. It is working great now, and everybody is smiling. Got me out of the dog house for a little while. Hopefully we can get everybody around here working again soon, though things have gotten pretty tight...even out here in the boondocks. Y'all take care now...ya hear?

;D Thanks for stopping in Bill!!! I been worried about ya. I lot ya on FB and hadn't seen yo in here for so long. I sent ya an e-mail back on your birthday, but never heard from you. I'm glad to hear your doing well. I know about it being tight all over. I've got family members out of work and my income's barely trickling in these days. I've got lots of friends looking for work and hurting. Keep on praying is all I can think to do about it. Anyway, don't be such a stranger. I know I ain't the only one that's missed ya!

My apologies, Tobe...I did get the birthday greeting and was uaware that my reply didn't go out. I really appreciated the thought. My email/Internet service has been screwed up a lot lately...so I'm thinking that may have been what happened to that one. My bunch has had me jumping through hoops lately. This week, part of them are in Denver, so I got a slight breather. Can y'all believe that it was snowing on my way to work today? Yeah, it was too warm to stick or anything...but at 6:30 to about 7:00 it looked like somebody was plucking geese it was snowing so hard...then it rained a little while...then it blew on through and got sunny again. I had to run the A/C in my office this afternoon. Crazy New Mexico weather!

Oh yeah...I plumb forgot to tell you why I dropped Facebook. About the time I disappeared off there, Facebook had upgraded their security system and reset everybody's security to the base level. There is an ol' gal in the area that I met one time over a year ago at a little get together at Rookies (a local hangout, one town over). She was supposed to be with this other guy, but was trying to hang onto me like a creeping poison ivy vine. It embarrassed me so I excused myself and left. I swear I didn't do a thing...but I must have made an unintentional impression. She has hounded me ever since. I had already quit two online biker groups because of her "fatal attraction." The security thing with Facebook was the final straw. She found me again and filled my mailbox with amorous attention. Just give me the hemlock!!! I'll chug it down! This person has given me about 3 different last names...so I don't know who the heck she is. Also she was telling me she had an ex in the slammer for capital murder. I don't want anything to do with that crazy woman! Sounds like bad trouble to me. Do you ever have problems like that Toby?

Sure have. I just bang 'em and tell them my name is Phil Foreman and that I'm just visiting Florida because I really live in Ohio!!! Seriously though, I had one gal that took a liking to me that way. I was polite to her, but that was it; she wasn't anything I'd get interested in; overweight and made a point of showing me her upper dentures because a previous boyfriend kicked her teeth out! Woof! Well, she took my politeness as a sign I was into her and she'd come by my work every day and twice I came home to find her waiting in my driveway. She'd show up at places that I'd go and it got pretty bad; my friends told me to get a restraining order, but I never got around to it. She finally just disappeared after two long months of stalking me. She'd say things like, "if I moved in with you, we could use my rent money to go places and you'd never, ever hear me tell you no!" She was a NUT!!! And honestly, I never laid a hand on her.

Now you know why I stay armed. Here and I thought it was the misses who shot at me, cut my gas lines, flattened my tires, and tossed those dead parakeets in the driveway. Dang Toby!
