It's ok. He's spending his first Christmas with the guy who Christmas is about. He will be missed though.

Never met him but I miss him. As mentioned earlier here, I did buy a couple of his mementos (books) that he sold on eBay. Glad I did!

Hoping as well that the tombstone works out... otherwise a 'go fund me' site might be his deserved 'ticket'.

I'd sure donate to this one.

I like that thought.

Ol' Crash is busy spinning yarns and handing out bird seeds, dog seeds and people seeds. Our loss is Heavens gain.

Exactly. And plenty of food, beer and dog seeds for all his dogs (who all came home to him)!!

Well like most days everything started off real good. Found bolts th hold forks on. There were some real pretty wild flowers at the south end of the barn. Panned on digging them up & putting the in a bucket. They had died & gone to seed. When there is a little rain they will come back up.

Go to tractor & think it is going to start right up. First put in the toggle switch, hole is too small. Get some tools & make it big enough.
Got that done & try to put in. Barley fits through the panel & nut is really hard to start. Get it stared & cant't turn it with fingers. Back to barn, then out south end, wrench is 14mm. nothing happens, pull fuse it looks good. Go to deck get the meter, fuse good, every other connection good. OK battery dead. Hook jumper cables to it. let truck run about 40 minutes. Now it will go. Nope even with jumper hooked up on click the solenoid. Bad battery. Was going to go today, but tomorrow is just as go. Scrounged up $40, buy some beer, containers of stew, milk, some eggs & 2 gal of diesel fuel. Know it has at least 4 gal in, but 2 more to be sure it has plenty. Then get forks on & move ugly pallets & fire wood.

Payday, get 4 more weeds & 1 hanging planter. Sure like to see something pretty.There is enough ugly in this world.

Have also seen too much death in my time on earth. Be glad to go any time the lord wants me.

Have a short story about line shack, this one has a happy ending. Had the real good one, but it got lost.

Silence is golden - Going out side & drink some 1/2 & 1/2.

More later,
Jim

Started poor, spent what he made, and died .
