Happy 29th birthday Scotty, and many many more...And happy birthday to all our waltripian family out there in Ram country! Which reminds me, I saw Waltrip HS Tshirts for sale in the pharmacy dept at Randalls on 34th st! Almost bought one!!!
Dang, didnt go out of town with the Gentlemans Old Sports Hunt Association, aka GOSHA! Tooth and back was bothering me too much! And where we hunt, being an hour and a half from a doctor, I thought it better to skip it this one time! Wish I had gone anyway! That was probably the one place I look forward to the whole year the most! Had many a, "laugh till you cry" experiences at those hunts! Always felt rejuvenated and new after our annual outing! Oh well, as the losing team allus says, "maybe next year"!!!
Had to take the boys on dawn patrol, on predawn patrol the last couple of morns! Shucks, neither one cares what time they go for a walk! I on the other hand prefer a more normal time, but due to circumstances beyond my control, had to go early! Most everything normal both mornings! However, this morning, was actually profitable! Cooper found a twenty dollar bill out on the street! Since Coopers suit is not outfitted with pockets, he entrusted me with the responsibility of transporting our new found loot! Once it disappeared in my pocket, Ol Coop forgot all about it! Shucky darn, that ol boy doesnt need money no how! He has me to tend to his every need, no matter what it cost!
Fixed us all my big tasty breakfast, Grits and eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and onions and peppers, and melt in your mouth homemade biscuits and gravy, of course with OJ and my whirld famous coffee! It turned out better than ever! Maybe I'll open up that diner and call it the "CHEZ CEPHUS"!!! Had a few beggars show up, Peaches, Jack, Big Oliver...and he knows he is on a diet too! Guess he didnt think it would matter one way or the other! Even fixed Cooper and Jack an egg and half piece of bacon! They are not very good tippers though! Both just ran out the door with hardly a thank you! But their grins and waggin tails told me how much they appreciated the extra rations!
Went to the little country church in the city! had the usual 33 suspects in attendance! Good sermon today, what I could hear of it! Preachers voice just hits that tone or Frequency that my ears cannot understand! We sang one of my all time favorite hymns, "Holy Holy Holy", and I sang loudly! Collection plate was passed, and that 20 dollars that Cooper found, somehow found it's way into it! I knew all along where that 20 was heading! Well, it was someones loss, so it rightfully wasnt mine, and I thought the Lord could put it to better use than I could, buying me or coop anything!
Saw Mr and Mrs Theissen! They are just super people! Jim, Mr Theissen, told me a sad story about 4 men from his hometown, which I forgot to ask him the name of, that rode their harleys to the annual Sturgis rally this past august, only a month ago! And how they were on their way back home, when a drunk hit and killed all 4 of them! They were our age, and had been friends since childhood, and all served in Vietnam together! Or, thats what I thought Jim said! He talks kind of soft and my ears are kinda deaf! But how sad that is! I suppose they will probably slap the drunken murderer on the wrist and tell him to "go and sin no more" and he will go and get drunk again, and probably kill someone else! Rode with the PGR last month in the funeral of a Marine home from a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan, that was hit and killed by a drunk driver...and the beat goes on!
Sat down today with Cooper to practice our reading! I spread a blanket out on the floor, and before I could get Coop settled on it, the blanket filled up with CATS...and Jack!!! They all saw me take the pack of Oscar Mayer weiners out of the fridge. I thought I was being discreet and very quiet, but somehow they know! I shooed the cats off, and managed to get Jack at least off the blanket, and to the side! Finally got Coop to lay down, and put a book, (coloring book) in front of him, and he helped me turn the pages! Of course, the pages being laced with oscar mayer slices helped, but he will stick his nose in books now, with out good ol Oscar M. Thats what we want!!!
And tomorrow, is his big debut into the whirld of acadamia! I am so excited for him, because this is what he was meant for, helping others!
Whilst we were practizin our reading, ol Jack crept ever so close, sneakin along flat on the floor like an alligator searchin for prey, hoping that I couldnt see him. His nose got to within an inch of Coops nose, and all the time his eyes were looking around like he wasnt concerned at all...yeah right! Jack stuck his nose in the same book as coops nose, and wouldnt you know it, two treats, one for each! Jack might be good for the program, cept he is kinda hyper sometimes! Might chew the kids little fingers off looking for treats! But he is still a yout, and I am sure someday, if he endeavors to perservere, he will take his rightful place in the Halls of education!
I did have to break off some small pieces of OMW for Oliver and company, of which only Katy and Peaches and Lacy partook of the tasty tidbits! Just like I said, Oliver wants what you have, but wont eat it! Crazy cat!!! The vet did tell me to try to get Oliver to excercise somehow...Hmmm...I tried jumpin jacks, but my back didnt like that at all, and then I tried walking around real fast and running in place...Dont think it worked, cause Ol wooly mammoth his ownself just layed in MY chair and watched me do all the work!!! Hmmm PTs not workin out on his majesty!!! Doc did suggest that I get what I thought she said, a taser oinker???? I repeated it back to her, and she broke out into hysterics..."your wife is right, youre deaf as a post arent you"!!!!! She then repeated, as she was laughing, what she said, LASER POINTER!!!! "OH" says I, now I can see that making sense. Didnt know how a taser gun was gonna help big olie at all! she reallly didnt want me to electrocute him, just reduce his intake of food and get him to run around a bit!
Well, Big Ollie aint gonna run, unless its to the kitchen, and that ol boy hauls kitty buns! He is fast for as big as he is! Also, doesnt stop very well on tile floors when he makes that turn into the kitchen! His big ol self just bangs into whatever is in the way, knocking over a bar stool, or dog water bowl, makes no nevermind to him what he hits, long as he comes to a stop at his dinner bowl!!! And I might add, he does like the RD that the vet provided, at great cost to us, which is something, because before now, none of the other cats we have had would touch it! Now, they see King Kat Daddy eating it, and now, they have to have some! So, that's not too bad, they are all on a diet...until they realize it's diet food! Then the tuna will hit the fan...
Well, I can see by the clock on the wall, that ol garfields right hand is almost on the 1 and his left hand is almost on the 10! So think I will haul myself downstairs and into the shar and into bed! Maybe I will have some sweet dreams...speaking of sweet, I fixed the lovely DW and myself, a malt!!!! An Ovaltine chocolate malt! Havent had one in a long time! forgot how good they taste! Next time yall are in the kitchen, fix yourself one...if you dont have any ovaltine, go to K rogers and get some...you will be glad you did...
Happy trails to you...keep the sun at your 6 and ride boldly ride...
