Just talked with my landlord,

And he says that his phone shot craps.

As incentive to purchase a particular phone, his provider offered a 32" Flat screen.

He had it on Craigslist for several days and I asked if he had any bites.

Long story short,

He gave it to me!



Just in time for the Superbowl!

The South will rise again!

Yeah, Scott's Hot wings for all!

Best,

Scott

Folks,

Prince - Purple Rain at the 2006 Brit Awards.

Do you REALLY want to spar with me?

I can disappear like a tick on a bear....and watch you s*it in the woods...
Remember, the mountains and forest are my Friend.....

If you DO find me, what you gonna find? Death?
Or a new path of life?



I may now be a simple man, but don't trifle with me, dig?

Scott

Scott,

When I was maxed out at work I'd make 3 piles....you can list them A, B, + C in order of importance.

With A being high priority, B medium and C low......it kind of helps you to focus on the matters which are of the most importance and put the secondary items aside.

Regards + HH

Bill

I had a thought today ,regarding your ruck needing an address or direction. Worse , I was trying to drive at the same time.
Driving reminding me you were moving or looking to though.

A tune came on and led to wondering ...What is life's heart?...
A place, a person, a moment of happiness? All short lived.
Having done what? Or just doin?

This song comes to mind...

Sent from a spun out toilet paper tube (one ply)!!!

 

[AU24K]

And music is the rhythm of your soul....

Believe it!




I don't have time to correct posts that I'm not responsible for.....
Yeah, the mountains hold the truth.....

New mountains?

Yes, Please!

Scott

An opportunity to enjoy music?
Why, YES!

ABSOLUTELY!

Ah!
You certainly also feel the weight that I feel....



And a kitten saved from being "target practice."

Otis!


Yeah, I kicked some one's ass that day...Bloody day, it was........

No charges filed for justifiable malicious retribution....or some such...
The Sheriff questioned me and was amazed that no one was killed. My weapons were checked out and....


Be well, my Friend!

Best,

Scott

Just talked with my locksmiths Friend's wife on the phone......

I'm to come to the shop on Friday at 9:00 AM to pick up my tools.....

I said that it surely will require more than an hour.

Friday.
9:00 AM.

Let's see how this works out, shall we?

Scott



Imagine my dreams tonight...



Got a cigar?
I'm all in, Dig?

Folks,

Bruce Springsteen - The River live from Berlin.

 

[AU24K]

Friday morning I was at the lockshop.
At 8:55 AM.

It actually took right at an hour to pack and load my tools.
I never did try my key in the door....

I had taken 2 shirts back to him that I never wore.
I gave him the receipt book that I carried for calls that I ran and gave back my key to the van.

Overall, it was surprisingly civil---
Apparently, he had reflected upon my advice....

When I left, I hugged his wife and thanked her for all of the Thanksgiving Dinners I had been invited to.
I then hugged my Friend and told him, Thank You for being my Friend."
I also said, "If you need my help on that bank job or any other job that you know is my specialty,
before I leave the area, let me know.."
I had also mentioned my projected future in North Carolina.

He said, "Scott, you'll always be my boy, but we can't work together no more it seems."

Hopefully his patience level and ability to not always be right, especially when wrong,
will develop with age, as it did with me.
(Have I ever mentioned that Garry is African American? Not that it really matters. Except to explain direct quote grammar.)

-----------------------------------------

At 8:30 AM this morning, my Landlord and I jumped in his truck and headed to Asheville!
The mountains grew in size every mile north.





The mountains reach to the sky!

I'm already liking what I'm seeing and feeling.

We get to Asheville ahead of schedule to meet his Friend and Wife, Rob and Amber, for a noon lunch.
So we drive around a bit to get a feel of the layout and we cruise the University.



Of course, being Saturday, the University was basically closed, administratively.
It is quite a sprawling Campus with many Academic buildings and some Residence buildings.
I like the feel.

We then met Rob and Amber at "EVG."
East Village Grille: Asheville's best wings!

Right across the street from the VA!

I had my note pad and pen, furiously taking notes as questions were answered.
In fact, everyone was done eating and I had barely eaten; requesting a "To Go" box.

We then piled into their mini van for a short tour of possible neighborhoods to live.
Rob has lived there since he was a kid and Amber just received her BA in Psychology.
We went to the "Visitor's Center," per my request, and I picked up every pamphlet that might interest me.
I walked out with a grocery bag full!
https://www.exploreasheville.com/iconic-asheville/about-asheville/visitor-information/

I also requested to show me where the library was and to stop and get a local newspaper at a "Dollar General" store and the local version of the "Shopper" type publication called, "IWANNA."


I've always found these to be a good measure of what's wanted, what's for sale or rent and for how much for the particular area....

This area eclectic?


Well, yeah....Yes it is.....

The next few days will not be spent idly; I am approaching this juncture in my life with all of the study,
research, intensity and determination as if it was the most important course I have ever taken in my life.

Because it is.....
I WILL get an "A!"

One final note:

I got a package of wings, ingredients for my hot sauce, (Thanks, Bill!)
The new TV is hooked up,
And I'll get right on that "Studying" on Monday.

I promise!

After the "SUPERBOWL!"
TIME TO RISE UP, FALCONS!



Hope All are Well!

My Best Wishes Always,

Scott

Received a reply from my Friend, Jesy.

I responded thus...

Thanks Jesy for replying. I traveled to Asheville today to get a lay of the land and liked what I felt. As mentioned, a job at Thompson Bridge or Oakwood would certainly be a temporary gig.... I'm fairly certain that I'll still be in the state of Georgia and able to pay for a jump in April with you on your Birthday! I might look into an income addition as an associate at Team Fox locally before I find my ass enrolled this Fall Semester at UNCA! When one ceases to learn and enjoy life, one ceases to live.... My love and best wishes, Scott

 

[AU24K]

"Yeah. Ever hear of "Paintin' Place?"

Reminds me of a story...

Indulge me, Please....

A few days later, at the same bar, where the "daugher" was fishin'.....
I found myself....
Wait.
I've told that story, right?





Dang lack of memory!

Funny how some things of past memory are clear as a bell!

Today? Yep.

Tomorrow?

Who are you? Get the f out of my house!

Fortunately, I don't have these manifestations.
But many of our Veteran Heroes do.

That's what Scott wants to be able to help with.

My Brothers and Sisters who need help in the transition and acclimation to "Home."

If you are a Vet, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Best,

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Here's some old jazzarama for y'all.

Are you old enough to remember this on TV?

YEARS before the interwebs?
When "The beat went on?"




Best,

Scott

COMMENT:

Obviously, though marital difficulties at the time, they found "Common Ground" in music.
(perusing as hindsight....)

Just sayin'....

Perhaps there is something to be said of music and psychology....

Certainly a topic option to consider as a Final BA Thesis......

Either that or fishin'



Can you say, "Catch and Release?"

Keep only those for your dinner, dig?

 

[AU24K]

Do I have enough hot wings for all my rowdy Friends here on Superbowl Sunday night?

If not, I've home-made pizza.

Talked about for miles around....

Me? I fancy sushi!
Made to order.


ORDER UP!!!
California roll X2 and Scott's Nagya roll on plate up! {Ding}

And $5 pitchers.
No glasses needed:The pitchers have their own drink handles.....Dig?
Pitchers for all!

Best,

Scott

Perhaps I've not mentioned my affinity towards beer.

Certainly the holder of at least 3 food groups.....
How can you claim to be a College student and NOT know of beer?

"Well, I give up....How?"

A rhetorical question, Hank.....

In my case, I had "Advanced knowledge!"

Kids today....sheesh....

"High mountains is the place for me..
Far away from your Humanity.
The simple life is all that I need
Screw the city and all that bullsh*t greed!"

 

[AU24K]

And now, the dream Police are making their rounds.....

Be still and think good thoughts and perhaps you will survive.....

You do know what time it is, Scott, right?

"No. It matters not to me, I WILL survive!...."

Is the ramen ready?
