Well Pop, that suuuure is a great story you tell.

I aint heard nuttin' like that since I left my home town of Beesville, Texas,
I remember an old ancient Chickasaw medicine man, sitting and a rockin' on the boardwalk telling his tales to anyone daft enough to stop and listen, one of them was all about extracting the gum from a joshua tree and getting his moccasins stuck in it whilst drinking the firewater given to him when, he has a young brave, by the Commancherros....... that magical Injun Medicine Man worked his spells on old Barnard Bee himself, BB was most pleased by this he gave our MM the rights to sit and rock and spin his yarns on the boardwalk for ever........YEP those were the days, they surely were.....he might even still be there.....

I'm living out in the West Texas Town of El Paso now with my Mexican grlfriend, Felina, maybe she and I will mosy over to Beesville soon and meet up with my ol' friend........Yep.
Rollin' with the brothers..............

This IS Texas? right????..........

Well hidy again. I'm back in the good ol US for a couple of days. Whats with this place? Last time I came on the lights were flickerin off and on. This time the whole place went dark. See everythin is runnin again.

That ol Pop feller is a man after my own heart. Never waste a good whisky, right ol timer?

Yall must come from differnt parts than the Texas I was raised in. Can 'scuse Bobbie. Went back and read some her bein a Yankee n all.

Now Cowboy Troy I don't mean to be mindin your business, but I wouldn't be a callin these folks' home Scattland. Back where I come from, scat is what I tell the youngins when they get underfoot. Out the back door. Scattland sounds more like somethin them folks up in Maine might say. They talk funny.

Good tunes man.

Well had a good laugh with the yarns.

I'm thinking Maggie is putting the gum there, to keep him from wondering off too far. If not, maybe she should consider that. If you find the gum closer to your front door, Pop, be suspicious :lol:

A thought... She could exercise you by putting the bottle a couple of inches out of reach while you're stuck to the gum. Heck, she could even make an exercise video and put music to it... and a squirm, twist, turn, and a reach reach reach... Could sell it to the wives of other old codg... I mean.. other elderly gentlemen to keep their old men, prone to wondering off and forgetfulness, contained and occupied.
