Overheard one of the barbers telling an old story today.
He moved to our small town as a young teenager, right off the farm, and entered high school. Sure enough, the local bully started picking on him right away. He told the bully "Let's take it behind the gas station off campus after school." Walking to the gas station, he had on some really cheap worn out rubber converse shoes. He asked his one friend walking with him, "Can I borrow your shoes?" noticing that he has some tough hard soled shoes and his buddy traded with him. Well, being straight off the farm, and more afraid of how his older brothers would treat him if he lost a fight, he ended up kicking the $heet out of the bully and gave the shoes back to his buddy.
Got the chicken coop wood work pretty much finished. Caulked a bit, then "painted it red", well, most of it. Will have to paint the rest white tomorrow after church. The little chicks are getting so big, they are jumping up on the 12" high rim of the tub they are in and threatening to break out. They are roughly the size of a quail already. This chicken coop building is wearing me out. Might have to steal one of the chick's Bud Light Lime beers.
We got some great rains this afternoon while we were painting in the barn. 1.68" officially but seemed like more on top of me. Even though it came at a steady pace, we had quite a bit of runoff.
jbrumberg, no offense taken here. I appreciate what you guys are doing with the dogs. Hope your spring comes soon enough.
Roy, I would LOVE to have one of those. That looks like the exact model I was holding last week. They were asking $445 IIRC. This at a small gun shop.
MotoGP American race in Austin tomorrow. Crappy organization only broadcasts it on some obscure channel that most people don't get, so if you want to watch it, you usually have to pay per view or raise your channel package to the highest level.
ATRORM, Next weekend on Saturday night the American Flat Track races are meeting at the Nascar track above Fort Worth. They will be riding on a 1/2 mile dirt oval that is located outside the main track. I'm planning on attending with a buddy. The sport has new life in it, with Indian and Harley back at it along with the other manufacturers. There is decent prize money and they have the large twins class, and a smaller singles class with the engines being about 60 hp 450cc. The singles are really fast too. The 1/2 mile track is big enough to have drafting down the straights which makes things really exciting.

I hope all of you have a blessed evening.
