Them catfish must be part bullfrog! You see them frog legs jump right outta the grease when ya throwed them in there?
What a day! I'm just about as happy as a puppy with two peters!
Now, if the weather holds out, we might think about diggin' a pit tomorrow. Brian's got a couple of nice sows in that trap yonder and they'll cook up just right I bet.
Ya'll up for it, I'll just need to borrow that shovel over there and we can start the fire first thing in the morning to get the coals ready.

EASY NOW TOBY!!! That dirt is flying just about everywhere and in this humidity it sticks....lol I got a good pile of red oak ready for the fire and a bunch of rocks Matt brought down from Arkansas. Tell ya what, climb on out, take a break and have you a cold one. If you didn't have that hole almost dug, I would have told you about the big cypress stump over there on the other side of the camp. The stump stays just wet enough not to burn and the big empty center works great for a cooker. I just lay that peice of metal over the top and we got us a "Real Cajun Microwave". But then again, there ain't much better that a hog cooked in the ground. Lets see now. Taters, carrots, onions, garlic, honey, butter, oh look, cabbage and a bag of apples too! Celery, more onions....HEY GUYS, You want to throw a bucket of crawfish in there too? I even fond these here pineapples ;D ;D ;D Let's get some knives going guys. I wonder if CG, Miss Faith, Miss Kathy and Mandy will make it down here??? Mandy knows the way with her eyes closed. The only place she has fun is that big log across the first creek. Maybe I should have left a boat for them. Think someone should go see if they're ok???

As a matter of fact Freddie, if you could bring back a piece of rope to hang Brian with I's appreciate it! Why in heck did I raise these blisters with that broken handled shovel you got there and not tell me you already had an improvised cooker? That's just plumb mean, but nw we got to get serious here. You feller's got to promise me to keep quiet about these blisters! There's a lot of men that can say they've seen me raise a lot of hell, but there aren't very darn many that can say they've ever seen me raise a blister! Ya'll promise now! Keep it to yourself or you're liable to ruin my reputation! Awe right Freddie, I was kiddin' about the rope, but if you're going to fetch the wimmen, fetch one for me too! Mid-twenties about five-five, blonde, and with really low standards!

I think I'll leave the women chasin to ya'll. If my wife ever found out that I was bringing women with low standards around here she would raise knots on my little pumpkin head. Almost as big as those blisters on your hands, Toby. ;D I ain't ever seen any blisters that big. Hey, lets pop one and see what happens.
Will be back soon, just as soon as I go check on the women.

Don't feel down on me Preacher about wantin' a gal with low standards. I'm just too blame lazy to go chasing the ones worth keeping!

Now Toby, had you said something before I went to nappin' I'd have told ya. All I know is I wake up and your in the middle of a big ol' hole with the boke shovel. Oh yeah, next time you smack a snake with a shovel, don't hit it that hard ;D C'mon over here son, I got you some medicine here for them blisters. A little ground mustard seed and willow sap then a quick wrap. Leave thsat on there for a couple hours and they'l heal by morning. OH, sorry bro, forgot about that burn the mustard causes. hey, hey look out Freddie, I think he's gonna charge! He'll settle down in a couple seconds when that willow sap gets into them blisters. It works sorta like that lidacane stuff. Maybe I should have put that on before the mustard powder, but I figured it was better than the catfish slime, smalls better anyways. How's it feel now Toby? Better? Let's get that fire going now. Freddie, when you come back, could you maybe bring the shovel trunk of the car?

My word, Brian! You's out here all alone?? It sure took me a good enough time to find this place. Got lost a couple of times and had to wrassle, and then skin out, a big ol' bull gator along the way! Of course I couldn't let that fine fellow go to waste. Brought us a poke full of filleted gator tail meat for supper! OO-WEE!! He sho' nuff is gonna be good! ;D

Well HEY BABBY!!!!!! How are you this fine , cool southern evening? Now Miss Faith, here's some skeeter bush for you. You best just go ahead and rub the juice from the leaves on yourself. What with that fair skin they gonna think your a buffet....LOL Let me take that heavy poke from you too. We'll set some here in the ice chest and I got some of Paws fish batter over here. Lets see a little seasoning and then a dip in the batter and a dip in the oil. I'm sure everyone will be back soon. Most don't stay out much after dark. Especially if them gators get to bellowing. Would you look at ALL those lightning bugs. You know, I got a whole mess of hybicus flowers over here, do you know how to or have you ever had the tea from a hybiscus? Good stuff sweety. real mellow. If you rather, grab you a jug and a hammock. The jug with the red stripe is Preacher Freddies. No alcohol in it. Just Muskadine grape juice but the others all have some kick, some more than others. Most of all Miss Faith, Make yourself completely at home hun. I'll be here abouts bringing in some more firewood fpr the hog we got started, there is also some crawfish there on the table and veggies too. I apoligize but the only sweetner I have down here is some wild honey from that bee tree over there. Have fun is the number one rule here. After I get the wood in maybe we can set a little sumpthin sumpthin up for them folks coming back. I'm thinking some flares and smoke bombs....lol What you think???

I'm OK. I think. Done worked up one heck of a sweat wading through the muck from those bellowing gators and now these skeeters and no-see-ums are just a lovin' me! I think there's a leach back there on my shoulder. Mind salting him off? After I get myself rubbed down good, I think I'll just shove my clothes full of that skeeter bush. All righty now! Which one of them jugs is Paws? I'm thinkin' we ought to switch up the contents 'tween his and Freddie's jugs. We can tell Freddie that he'd been gone so long that those muscadine's done backslid on him. It's all out of fun, of course. I'm sure Paws can get that juice we leave in his to start working the right direction! Mmm...that honey sure is good. If you can reach up there sugar, cut me off a big hunk of that honeycomb. Haven't had the chance to chew on honeycomb in a coons-age. I think it's cooled off enough that you shouldn't need to smoke those bees.

I thought I heard somebody moving around back here in camp. I was just rootin' around for some more swamp cabbage. I found a good sized tree and plumb wore myself out cuttin the heart out of it. This time, I borrowed a pair of gloves out of your poke over there.
Well, hey there miss Faith! I'm just tickled you found us out here! I ain't real sure where the heck Paws is, but I heard some squealin' out by the hog trap. It's anybody's guess what he's up to.
You must of passed the Preacher on your way out. He's off to fetch a few assentials. If you don't mind, reckon you could help Brian fix up some of them sides. I'll start uncoverin' this pig, what ought to be just about right and the others should be along shortly.
In the morning, I'll cut us a mess of willows and we can cut and dry that gator...with your consent of course.
Brian, did anybody think to bring any more coffee?

Oh yeah, we gots coffee. It's in that poke hanging in the oak. If you want there's some chickory there too. But just a little now, too much and it'll even put hair on NMiss Faiths chest. Just kidding hun. OH looky here, a big ol' block of chedder, where did that come from? Miss Faith, in the morning, I'll show you where there's a nice patch of wild strawberries to go with that honey comb. If you want to save it till then, just set it on that ice in the cooler in a bowl and then you can just pour them berries over the top of it. But you gotta promise not tell any where they are ok??? It's just a smalll patch....

Here's that shovel you wanted Brian. Don't know why we needed it though. I liked seeing Toby get those blisters on his hands. I thought it was funny. ;D
Hey, I never did see any of the ladies. Are you sure Miss Kathy gave you permission to come out here? You know how she gets when you disobey her.
That coffee sure smells good. Think I will have a cup of it instead of a drink outta my jug. Paws may have played a joke on me, since I don;t see him around anywhere. He's probaly scared I'm gonna start preaching to him again about his sins. Well since I don't see him, guess I'll have to pick out someone else to preach to. Hmmmm who shall it be??? LOL ;D

Now Freddie, just go ahead on and start preachin'! While I was on that Idaho Elk hunt a couple years ago we had an Ohio boy with his wife, his mom, and his dad. His dad is a preacher. We was sittin' in the big tent, me and Cap'n Mike, and the preacher walked in. Cap'n Mike says, "You ain't going to start preachin' at me are you?" Preacher says, "Nope, It would take more time than I have!" I busted my gut and hurt myself laughing. ;D And pour some of that coffee and if you want to sweeten it with the jug; it's safe! ;D

Hey fellas we need to round up a couple more hawgs right quick. The Patriot Guard Rider boys are participating in a pig roast out near Dayton on the 13th helping out with the local VFW to kick off a fund raiser "Poker Run" and pig dinner to help out a wounded veteran. You can read the details in the PGR forums or the Ohio forum on NAHC. So N@ run a couple more out of that swamp grass so Brian can wrassle them down to renderings, cracklins, chops, bacon, and jowels! ;D Pass that jug please Freddie!

Dang right Paws! I support them Patriot Riders a hundred and ten percent!
Brian's still got three big sows yonder in that hog trap. You pick out the fattest and I'll clean her for you to take to that bbq. Anything for those guys. They are doing great work.
Where'd miss Faith go to? I was hoping she'd fix me something sweet for desert. Reckon she can make molasses cookies in a dutch oven?

But THREE wild strawberry pies with pretty lattice work tops and fresh whipped cream! Toby! Get that finger out of the pie!!!!! Who knows where it's been!! You go get yourself washed up a little now and this pie right here in the middle with all the extra whipped cream is allll yours! ;D You other guys can belly-up and dig in while he's getting scrubbed. ;D

LOOK out now, Toby jumps in the creek and we're all gonna get wet. That boy's big enough to hunt bear with a switch....LOL. Miss kathy may be on down when ever she gets her the notion. Paws, help your self to all the pork you need. There's 3 in that one trap and another 4 or 5 shoats in the far trap. Take one of them and cook him whole. Just right for a hungry bunch of Patriots. On thenm big hogs, you may want to par boil them just till the big pieces start to float. Be sure to put a few 1/2 taters and onions in the water with them and skim the foam off the top as they simmer. Just toss it over there and the dogs will get it. Speaking of dogs, I hope toby didn't take the flea shampoo. I'm supposed to give ol' Shadow a bath while we're down here. Look at that dog, he's full as a tick. Can't hardly move. Y'all watch this, I'm gonna put him on that hog trail. He'll track them right up to and into the trap. I need another gunner though. Sometimes he'll get right up on them little squealers and momma sow may need settling down. Gotta love them Lab dogs. OH my, looky here. A whole sack full of fresh ripe peaches. I forgot I threw them in the pirouge. Anyone want one? ?

Alrighty Ma'am, I'm clean as a whistle! Please pass that pie!!! ;D
Oh boy, I LOVE strawberry pie! Brian, toss them peaches to Miss Faith over there and let' stand back and see what we get out of them. You know, that shampoo you had in that poke over yonder lathers up really nice. It's got kind of a strong scent, but it's keeping the bugs off of me. It's pretty good stuff. Must be some of that new hunters soap huh?
I heard a pig squealing out yonder tpwards that far pen and just a minute ago, I thought I heard an airboat passing way off. I wonder if that was one of them Patriot boys, coming to pick up that pig. Whenever Paws gets back we'll have to ask him.
Where'd the Preacher go? Freddie!!!! He must of headed back out on account of church tomorrow morning.
