As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 310 Interstate. Please be careful!" "It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds...

An oft repeated line at a family reunion on July 4th, 1976. "Have you heard about the plastic surgeon that hung himself?" (Well, it sure was funny at the time.)( and I still think so!)

In the mid seventies, I was sort of leading a small group( a friend, his two sons, and my oldest son) on a fairly strenuous day hike through the Wichita Mountains, in SW Oklahoma. Late in the morning, we had crossed over a saddle, and there was a small park between the saddle, two small...

You know, I just don't deal well with questions, when they are re-phased and asked again. and re-phrased and asked again. Lil darlin' asked me today about my will. I admit I do need to update my will, but it kind of bugs me to talk about it. Things get more tense after several adult beverages...

I was welding steel/concrete docks on Grand Lake. As you may know, the ultimate striker holder is a brazing rod, bent into a sort of safety pin shape, and hooked on to a belt loop. And I had such holder. However, building boat docks usually involves walking through a lot of brush, and my...

This is an email sent to the p.e.t.a.(People Eating Tasty Animals) web site. I got a kick out of it. I wonder where in the world this guy has observed this particular method of hunting? It sounds like a lot of fun, but counter productive for putting meat on the table. I will say this for old...

In a heavy three quart pot, at medium low heat, try out about two ounces of salt pork, diced about a quarter inch. (Remove the rind) When the salt pork is translucent, pitch in a good sized, diced yellow onion. Stir gently for a few minutes, and add a pound of Yukon gold, or Pontiac potatoes...

It's too late now, but this is interesting material. http://www.conservapedia.com/Barack_Obama

I was not sure where to post this info. Home remedies, tall tales, or humor. It would fit in all three catagories. Boy! Do I have a way to clear those sinuses! I don't recall if I related the saga of the "Ghost Chile" project. It started right at a year ago, when Robert, my lunatic...

A black Vulture will fit though the windshield opening, where a windshield used to be. of a 1996 Nissan pick up! Don't ask me how I discovered this fact, coming home from a gig on Sunday morning.

This not a question, but a warning. Do NOT re-angle feather boards with a sliding miter saw! The feather board will explode, driving riata pine shrapnel into walls, arms, and chests! AND, knock a carbide tip off of one tooth of a fifty dollar saw blade! Don't ask me how I know this! (It...

In the early seventies, I was working for"Harry's dock constuction", out of Groveport, in NE Oklahoma. Harry had taken a contract for a new steel dock, with a trade in, waaay up on the grand river. Four of us went up to get the old wooden dock, get the area ready for the new dock, and push the...

Mick and David, Men, there is something decidedly weird about the Port Arther massacre. I am not a consipirisist, I think what you see, is the true story 99% of the time. But, it appears, that even the internet information is being manipulated, today! I am finding more obscure websites...

I've got a Chinese air rifle, it's my fifth one(I keep giving them away). The sights on all of them have been bad, so I usually mount a two power scope, and they are good out to 30-35 yards, at least in my hands, they are effective a LOT farther out,in the hands of a good shooter. Well, this...

This may be an empty recommendation, because I have not seen a detail chisel for sale anywhere for probably twenty years. I had some very nasty fillets on my pirogue, because my compound was setting up faster than I could lay it in. I couldn't get a sander in on them, so I thought I was...

Since I had so many wrinkles on the seams of my pirogue, I decided to just sand them off, and tape the seam. I bought some six inch tape from Raka. It was six ounce, because Larry had an odd roll that he was willing to sell cheap. What the heck do you with the threads on the edges? I tried...

Thibodeaux and Boudreaux went on a camping trip. After supper and several beers they both laid down for the night, and went to sleep. Some hours later, Boudreaux woke up and nudged Thibodeaux. Boudreaux says, "Thibodeaux, look up at de sky and tell me whatchu see." Thibodeaux replies...

I've often been asked, "What do you older people do now that you're retired?" Well, I have a friend who has a chemistry background and one of the things we enjoy most is turning beer, bourbon, scotch, gin, vodka, and wine into urine. And, by golly, we're pretty damn good at it!!

I raised hogs for about fourteen years. Not a huge number, my biggest year I raised 70. My first boar was a pure bred hamp, and he was a 800 pound pet dog. Very friendly, he would follow me around, hoping to get scratched behind his ears. After a few years, all the sows were his daughters and...
