A humorous thought of a class I had of Honors History....
I was the oldest one in the room, including the professor....

The day's lecture was about the 60's, racial tensions, the Vietnam war, etc.

After about a half hour,
From the back row, in the corner, Scotty raised his hand and sez...

"Here's the way it really was, 'cause I was THERE....."

I later met with the Professor.

I said, "Teach your crap.
Ever had bullets fired at you or lived in a bunker for weeks below zero degrees??"

Yeah. I didn't think so.....

I'll keep quiet. And keep my seat in the back row."

What a butthead.....

Got the worst grade ever in my collegiate pursuit. :icon_scratch:
An Honors Course. Mind you......

Yet, I learned so much.....

Funeral for my hunting buddy today. Too soon. Though he did make the most of it.
Being trapped in a broken body he fought being alone in spirit. Till coming to terms with his maker.
After that, years followed touching others lives.
Got me over a hump, among others learning to cope.

Many previous years of being a firefighter were ceremoniously attended by multiple departments the past couple days.
A band of brothers for sure.
 

Sorry RC ......I've lost 2 influential family members since December. Remember the good my friend.

I'll either come to some agreements on prices and options or I'll walk.

I've dealt in antiques for over 40 years.

Nobody is gonna rake ole Scotty, Dig?

Oh!

Here's a story from the past that I just remembered....

Back about, oh, I guess, maybe in the 90's,
I was the Maintenance Supervisor and a Department Head at a "Long Term Care Facility," in Wichita, Kansas....
Yeah, a Nursing Home.

Anyway,

The facility had an Alzheimer's ward.
One Friday, the staff and residents were encouraged to wear a, "Silly Hat."

So I took a purple towel, placed it over my head and had a gold colored cord to wrap around.

About lunchtime, I got a request to change a burnt out light in the Alzheimer's area.

I walk in, wearing my "silly hat,"
And the first guy who sees me, a former oil executive, runs up to me and says,

"I don't care how much money you got! I ain't never gonna sell to you!"

I calmed him down, took off my "silly hat," and showed him that it was just me, Scott.

We both laughed at "The Joke."

I would often take one of my portable 78 players in on the weekend, on my own time, along with many oldies like Fletcher Henderson, Benny Goodman, Paul Whiteman, Ted Lewis, etc.
I would visit the residents the week before and take requests for discs to bring.

Best,

Scott

Here's the skinny on me going to the facility on my own time.

I was told to stop because insurance or something if I was "unauthorized" by being on my own time.

Just like when I worked at KU Medical Center and took baseball cards to the kids on the fourth floor who had cancer.

WTF?!? ???

Have the rules of humanity changed?

When?

Nobody ever told me.....

Yeah, I've quit a few jobs......You?

"Got your compass, do you? Try to keep up, Lad!"

"I carry the weapons and ammo, right?"

"If I'm gonna ride, what's my pay?"

"I don't want to lead nor do I want to follow...

But, if you wanna go, lets ride!"

A quote by whom?

When we laugh,
When we cry,

What is life?
Tell me why?

Soon one day
we all shall die....
And one day we might live again,
in the future it seems, my friends!

Scott!

Chill and have another hot wing, Bro!

Make your hair sweat, Dig?

Got the "Ranch Dressing" ready?

I woke up this morning to visit the auctioneer and found a flat tire! :BangHead:

By the time I got things back in order, it was too late for a visit.
(Psychology-Sell early in the day, buy late in the day. Think about it.....)

So, I stopped in to see my Friend Don, at "Vine and Cheese" for some boxes.
Vine and Cheese

I then spent the next few hours sorting my books.

Those to keep; Those to sell.

Included in the decisions were many "First Editions" such as,
"Helter Skelter"
"In Cold Blood"
Some signed....

Also older copies of well known authors like Stephen King,
Zane Grey, etc. and collectible subject matter like the Civil War.

I've got 5-6 boxes of books priced. (modestly)

Somewhere around $1000-$1500 total.

I certainly won't tote them to the visit, but will surely mention them! :thumbsup:

Perhaps a book auction soon?
And what other auctions upcoming that I might place a few of my collectibles in?

Does he need help in Appraising? Auctioning?
So many questions.
So many options.

But, that cursed foe of all.
"Time."




Best,

Scott

Yeah, I mentioned earlier about needing an "executor."
At 20%

No replies, so I'll do it myself at 100%

Think 'll go camping this weekend for a few days.....
After all, I DO have a new tent to christen in my mountains.....

See y'all on the dark side of the moon....

Where we all can all dance and howl in the campfire's glow!

Wolf Pack Strong!

Again, Bill,
You have found a "Ruby in a mountain of Rocks...."

On a Gibson "Sunburst!"

"Humbuckers?"

I'm not sure why I drool more...
The girl or the guitar...
(OK. The Guitar! I think....? Such a close call....Can I have both? :icon_scratch:)

"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad"

 Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby
In a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding
At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got

There's only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her
Not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kep on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere....

Now I have to thin out my tapes.....

Think I'll keep "Tombstone."
