Was contacted by a lady through "The Lawrence Journal World," where I sometimes comment on news stories.

It was concerning an old pizza place in Lawrence called, "Campus Hideaway."

I had posted quite awhile ago that I had an old menu

I had found an old menu in the attic crawl space when I was helping renovate the building years ago as I was running electrical conduit.

I'll certainly send some pics....







I was thinking of donating it to "Watkin's Museum,"

http://www.watkinsmuseum.org/

Where I have donated many items over the years.
I donated items with the stipulation that when any item was displayed, a small placard would also be included that read:
"On Permanent Loan From the Collection of Scott Xxxxxx"

She is fortunate to have caught me at this time as I am liquidating and it is for sale.

I'm guessing that it dates from the 60's.


Best,

Scott

Hi this is Susan Dermer. Our family has the Hideaway Pizza restaurant in Stillwater
Oklahoma which was the 2nd Campus Hideway restaurant after Lawrence. My father in-law
purchased it from Les and Dave who open the Stillwater location after Lawrence. Could
you please message me back with pictures of the menu you have? Thanks so much!

I awoke "early" this morning after a bad dream (again) and made a pot of coffee about 4:30 am.
What? 2-3 hour's sleep?

I spent the next few hours perfecting a list of my 78 rpm discs left for sale on your "Craig's List."

Yeah, I hate that site, but, I gotta get real and get busy,
If I'm to make Fall Semester enrollment at UNCA, Dig?
Ya know? Time and such....

Thanks to my landlord,

I printed out a shipping label and now have to pack them up and find the Fed Ex send/delivery port here in Gainesville.

Every dollar counts....

Be well, my Friends!

Folks,
Another talented musician I managed to track down Ewan Cunningham playing Echoes by Pink Floyd....heck he's only 18 and plays all the instruments himself.

 

[AU24K]

A Pink Floyd Story....

When I was married to my second wife, living in Kansas, she had a friend stay with us from Florida.

It was up to me to provide the morning wake up and coffee...

Sheesh!

OK....

Sure....

So, at 4 am I turned on my stereo and plated an album....
And turned it up....

I purposely boosted the volume....
And had the equalizer set.....

FOR LOUD!



I guess you would have had to have been there to appreciate the chaos.....

Best,

Scott






T'was the beginning of the end....

Seems that no one really knows me.....

That's OK.
Sometimes I'm not sure myself.....

My landlord requested my help yesterday....

I followed him to his new property in his other truck and soon found myself pulling him from some mud.

Then we went shooting!

He had 3 of his pistols and I had one of my pistols.
He offered for me to fire a clip or two of his weapons and I agreed.

I provided the paper targets and pinned them to a tree about 25-30 yards away.


We both had a great time and I was the best shot until the last clip....

DANG!

I can't wait until next time!

Best,

Scott

 

[Lucid Moments]

Wait, you were the best until the last clip. I beg to differ. I was outshooting you all the way. Never mind the sights were about to fall off your pistol.

 

[AU24K]

Wait, you were the best until the last clip. I beg to differ. I was outshooting you all the way. Never mind the sights were about to fall off your pistol.

Yeah, I fixed that. Now all that is left is to adjust elevation and such.

Whenever you are ready, Brother.....

I got more paper targets....
Hmmm..
Where did I get this pistol?

Ebay?
First time that I've shot with it.....No jams....

Jams...Huh?

That's why I like the wheel pistols, Dig?
Maybe only 6 rounds, but dependable.

(Walker .44.)
Just be sure to keep your caps dry.....

Scott


Ah! An "Ovation" Guitar!

Tune up, kids!

 

[AU24K]

With a "long gun."
I only needed 2 rounds to sight in a new scope....From about 50 yards....
Kinderspiel, verstehst du?

A lot of work this weekend, sorting, throwing away, etc.

I rediscovered things I haven't seen for nearly 10 years....

I found the box containing many documents concerning my parents divorce, land deeds from my paternal Grandmother's father-in-law concerning land homesteading as a Veteran of the Civil War in the 1860's (Elijah Todd) and other items concerning Family History.

I had to stop and cry.....

I then continued.

During this time I also did laundry.
Still waitin' on that maid to show up and help out....
Doan cha just hate "Laundry Month?"

I'm tired of dealing with these auctioneers who are money hungry SOB's.
Looking to legally steal from you.

I'll find a way to maximize my profits, even if I have to auction the goods myself.

Of course, I'll have to investigate the legality of conducting an auction of my own property in the state of Georgia.....

Hope all are well!

Best,

Scott

A story about a "rock" that I gave to my Landlord today....

When I lived in Kansas, building my Boss's house, I had talked him into going to Colorado to camp and pan gold.
In October.

Must have been in the 90's....

Anywho,

We get to Blackhawk, feeling hungry.
I-70 is a long drive across Kansas....

We decided to have the buffet offered at "The Red Dolly" casino.

The restaurant was in the balcony, overlooking the casino floor.
While I worked on my $3.95 full plate, I watched the action below.

I noticed a "pattern" of the slot machines.

After we were done eating, I decided to try my observations.

I bought a roll of nickels and chose my machine to play.
BINGO!
I hit a hundred dollar payout!

I then bought a roll of quarters and played my choice of machines.

Again!

I hit a $600 payout!

I then bought a $100 of $1 tokens.

Alas, I played it out and I said, "I'm done."

Back to the rock....

When we got to Colorado that day, it had snowed and my boss wasn't much into snow camping.

We did a bit of panning and he said that his wife called him and told him to come home....
I wonder...

Anyway, the last day there, we panned a bit in a COLD stream.

I Found no gold that day but I found "The Rock."


A "Paperweight" with an unique story!"

My Best Always,

Scott
