I've lost many valuable things before in the past and this is just one more time, I guess....

I'll certainly move on....

After all,
I've never seen a "U-Haul" trailer behind a hearse. Dig?

Took my resume to the tower outfit Monday.
Seems I was too late....
Buddy said that they had hired two guys already.
I said, "Keep my resume handy in case they don't work out or things pick up for y'all."
----------------
As y'all know, I live in a basement apartment.

Monday, I awoke to a squishy carpet. WTH!?!

I told my Landlord and he called a plumber.

Seems that a leak had developed in a drain line in the laundry room adjacent to where I live.

So, I had to get stuff up off the floor and everything became Topsy-turvy!

The plumbers fixed the problem but I've been using a shop vac for the last 2 days trying to suck up the water from the carpet.

Thankfully, nothing got too wet to be ruined.

My first grab off of the floor was my guitar! Whew!

Still sucking water from the carpet and have a fan to help dry out.

Probably will be sucking the carpet for a few more days...

SHEESH!

What next?
--------------------
Anywho, I signed up with an outfit that is like a "clearinghouse" for estate sales and have gotten about a half dozen calls already. I tell them to think about that "American Picker" show on TV and come see what I got and make offers. Got a couple of appointments for the next few days....

The water leak has kicked me into high gear for moving...
After all of my research of where,
I've weighed the pros and cons of my hometown, Lawrence, Kansas.
This appears to be the best for me to move to within a month or three.

Although I hate winter, cold, snow, ice, no mountains for camping, a liberal political environment(and an ex-wife living there),
I'm sure that I'll do OK.
I'll be among old Friends, great cat-fishing, and Kansas University for my Bachelors in Social work.
I'd sure like to be able to continue my Academics by enrolling by this Fall Semester. Somewhere.
I have no worries about employment in Lawrence......
And I'm also pretty sure that all of the statutes of limitations have expired....
----------------
I am also going to call a couple of people tomorrow who "Buy Houses" for some quick cash should they need help.
I'll ask if they need someone to do repairs to bring more money when they sell.
---------
Climbed on the roof today to blow debris and the gutters.
Managed to take the garden hose up also and cleaned the downspouts.
Had a hand held twister "snake" and cleaned all the downspouts.
Landlord said they have never been cleaned. Since he lived here. 10 years.

Then mowed the lawn and blowed the driveway and patio areas.
I'll have no problem sleeping tonight, although I'm quite sore.....
I'll finish up some hot sauce chicken tonight with some mashed taters,
green beans and a buttered biscuit or two.


AND,

How have y'all been?

My Best Wishes,

Scott

PS.
Just fixed an old pair of broken glasses!!!

OK.

The story of my assigned meeting with the Battalion Colonel at HQ.
You know, that sorry SOB that I had locked and loaded on that one rainy night?

When I was called into his office, I walked in with my hands in my pockets.
No salute, no formalities.....

He said, "Private, you want to re-enter and try that again?"

I said, "No, not really. Seems like it would be a waste of time....I have respect for the Military and I have respect for your rank, but I have no respect for you."

He looked at me closely and I soon detected his realization at who I was.

All that I'm allowed to say is that he gave me an opportunity to retrain in another MOS, 30 days leave stateside, and rank advancement.

I declined and requested an Honorable Discharge and to be a Civilian within 30 days.
I was done playing Army with these jokers. Seems like I was the only one who was being serious....

Anyway, after negotiations, I won.

Nuff said.

Love Catfishin'!
"Catfish are jumpin'"

You know that ole Scotty has recipes for catfish....

Still got a special spot in Kansas, south of Lawrence, along the Wakarusa River where chicken liver bait will bring the big channel cats and the blue cats to your rod and reel!
Remember the story of an ex-wife who wanted to come along fishing with me one night?




Best,

Tired of sucking water from the carpet. I need to get out and hike my mountains.
Even just for a "Day Hike."

I've engaged my Landlord to accompany me tomorrow and we will hike to where I have buried my Treasure Tube.

I have no worries of him later claiming the prize, because he won't. He has donated to the Treasure.
I merely want someone else to know where it is when I leave the area.

I will post pictures of the hike along the way to that Treasure Tube thread when we return.

I promised him that it was only a mile or so hike on pathways....

But never mentioned the steepness in some places...

I said that all he might need is a canteen and an oxygen bottle...
I'll be carrying the ruck with tent and other gear.....

Perhaps an "over-night" in the mountains?
A campfire glowing in the dark?
Owls hooting in the distance and bears waiting for you to sleep....
Twilight approaches and bats fly overhead....

Hmmm? How does one create a campfire, huh?
Even in the rain? With no matches or a lighter....
Scotty raises his hand.....(yeah, he knows how....)

Y'all come along if you want.....

I think it will all be good!
Yeah, I got this....Dig?

Been there, Loved it!

Let's do it again!



"When the sun comes up over the mountain and you greet a new day....
When your future arrives and today is a new way...
Your desire of help to a fellow Vet
Leads you on to passions yet."

Soon, I will make a difference with my fellow Vets.

Here we go....

Ready?

sounds good. Ive been 8 months camping in the swamp. Im back in town but ready to go again. i was thinking about the treasure tubes i buried. Someone should know when i die. Maybe i should leave a few clues

 

[AU24K]

I'm whack.

Yet, I'm well educated to be a decent human being.

I need to go to the VA.

Perhaps they have an answer for me...
Maybe not.

What is my future?
Can I help others?
Am I viable?
Am I human?
What is the potential for my existence?

I'd like to think that My campfire is warm....
And that I can help others....

Perhaps my self queries have distressed some....
My apologies....



Or else I'll live in the mountains...
Yeah, My mountains... My refuge...
Too many bad dreams....Always bad dreams.
Don't wanna sleep....
I hate sleep.

Help?

Scott

"Dang! Cant wait to see how this plays out! How about a song?"

 

[AU24K]

I'm OK...



But,
I still have bad dreams....I had to kill to live.
In my dreams, I sometimes died.
I awake, drenched with sweat, gasping for breath, and then realize that it was just another dream....
Just another dream.....

I HATE SLEEP!
And now as a civilian,
I know of Veterans issues and can help!
I served with Vets of Viet Nam. Their stories were worse than my dreams....

'Cause I know of your bad dreams!
My experience and education can help my fellow Vets.
Between us, we can find a solution and find help for your progress!

I have contacted and personally met my Congressional Representative and made clear my passion of Veterans issues.
I then reached out to President Trump to further my desire to advance Veterans issues through my Congressional Representative..
Yeah, I went that extra mile....Would you?
My goal is for the acclimation of Vets back to society.
Do you feel my passion?

God Bless our Veterans and God Bless America!

The dreams of last night would make you cry and run...

I walked through the dream and killed. On my way to a Friend....Thugs waiting on a street I had to pass. Crack dealers at night.

My pistol provided passage....

The path was cleared.

Then, I was in school...gymnastics! Really?

I performed on the high bar, parallel bars and rings.

Then was involved in a shoot-out.
Trying to pass through a crack hood....

Damn! Really?
Popped a punk and went running....
And then my gun jammed....
After direct hits of....

You do really feel pain in dreams.....I was shot....3 times. I felt each hit.....
I cleared my pistol
and fired every round of the mag.
Then, I awoke, sucking air and thankful of life....I then looked down at my pistol that was in my hand....
DO YOU SLEEP WITH A PISTOL IN YOUR HAND?
I dare you to awake me abruptly....


Scott


Dreams? Yeah, you know what it's about if you been there....
Dreams suck!

 

[AU24K]

Y'all be well, hear?

I got security for tonight, Dig?

I was serious. I love camping and i have been in the everglades for 8 months. I also buried a treasure tube. Im also getting of age where maybe I should tell someone. I can relate to your story. Im certainly not mocking you I wouldnt do that. Bad dreams are just a dream. Its over. Of course you can help others. Just get out into the woods you will feel better

See, that' s where I would get in trouble trying to help.. because l laugh at my own subconscious at times after deciphering it' s very real gymnastics
... you fighting your way to your own albeit literal gymnastics would get an untimely laugh.
And not expected to be received as being helpful. ( Incoming!!! ,duck!).

Interesting how time does not register / require accuracy in dreams.

 

[sonofadigger]

Yeah I'm still alive just decided to take a year vacation from everything lol...but I'm back now

 

[AU24K]

RC, Bill, Cypress and all,

Thank you for understanding that I'm OK and would never harm anyone except in my dreams.

Although I cannot control my dreams, I am in control of my life while awake. Which is more than I'm asleep.

I do not like when I have no control and that is why I hate sleep and dreams.

However, I have been able to interpret many of my dreams and have determined how best to prevent them and be in control.
I think that I have taught myself how to have beneficial sleep.
Something that I had to work out for myself.....

I have decided that I no longer need to sleep with a pistol in hand. Unless I'm camping.
But that is for bears.

However, I DO keep a pistol close at hand at all other times.....

Didn't go hiking this weekend for one reason or another.

But, Soon....

Got a couple of "sales" appointments of my goods coming up in the next few days, and....
Cleaning up a coupla vintage "Lava Lamps" right now....


Replied to one fellow about some silver also....

$30
$20

$25

$40

Anybody see something they like?
Prices negotiable.....



Hope all have a great week!

Always,

My Best Wishes,

Scott
