CRISPINS CRITTERS

Y'all know,
It seems to me that I haven't paid for my Charter subscription for a while....

I'd like to thank those whom have made that possible.

And, in the same thought, if one of my Critter Friends are in need of Charter Membership Dues, let me know.

Love my Friends here at Crispin's Critters!

Ah! Goin' to the bayou!


Notice the guitar Glen is playing?
Yep. An Ovation!

Ain't got nothin' to worry 'bout as long as I got a stump to swing.....

But....

One should be careful in the south....



One finds that the old ways are still prevalent.....

Lord help Scotty if he is found with his 9mm protecting himself.....
Should I carry?
I'll certainly carry my Gibson 12 string!
(Thanks, OV)
Perhaps I'll find an opportunity to "play along...."
Lost, in the swamps, and just tuning up....

Well, at birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of a river bed
On a houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my mama and me
The clock strikes three and papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cooking papa something to eat
At half past, papa he's ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can
He's gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
My Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens
Even got a lady mink, a muskrat's cousin
Got 'em out drying in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into money
Well, they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
Little baby brother on the floor that's Mack
Bren and Lin are the family twins
And big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing
On the river floats papa's great big boat
And that's how my papa goes into town
Takes him every bit of a night and a day
To even reach a place where the people stay
And I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He'd even let me see a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my pop I've gotta go again
Well, Papa said, "Son we've got lines to run
We'll come back again but first there's work to be done"
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man

Just got a call from Johnny, the 2nd shift supervisor wanting to know the status of a jack in the shop.....

I told him that I would have it ready for his guys tomorrow.
I also said that I'm going on Vacation next week.
He said, "The hell you are! I'm gonna put a stop to that 'cause nothing gets fixed when you are gone!"

I laughed and said, "Johnny, this next beer I drink is for you, Brother!"
He said, "OK. But have two or three for me!"

I said that I would.

So....
Pop a top again....


And then I said....

"Brother, I Am Going on my Vacation. A long awaited and deserved Vacation."
I said, "Johnny, you KNOW that I take care of you and your guys."

And, Johnny said,"Yeah, you deserve your vacation. And, We will miss you.

But, you will have your ass full when you get back!"

And I said, "I'm ready for any storm, Brother!"


Live at Sandstone Amphitheater in Desoto, Kansas.
An "Outdoor" Venue.
A short ride on my Cycle with my Lady.
Yeah, I was there....
What a night!

One of many times that I saw REO Speed Wagon...

Lord I apologize and be with them starving Pygmies down there in New Guinea amen........the 5 y/o found 2 of my dogs tennis balls. He put them under his shirt and came to me laughing. I said “ turn around and ask your momma is she jealous “ “ mommy, are you jealous, mines bigger!” I’ve been laughing for 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!
 

Two power outages today.
Same area the last one was in.
Me suspects something was not fixed right.

Got to get stuff squared up enough around here to go stay with Dad. At least visit ,but my siblings are running low. One in chemo (the nurse) ,another recently out of surgery ,and the other has been with him for days and needs to go home...
Just back from hospital after another stroke at/on his 88th birthday get together my back kept me home from.... And he is back to his home now.
No wheelchair ramp ,so stairs are the deal.
Maybe I'll bring a rope to haul chair up to use it in his house...
Last time wore me out.



Scotty ,storm slamming around the coast. Might affect your near adventure.
 

Time ticks away....
I've got to have my truck serviced with an oil change and check fluids.
Make sure that my camping gear is complete.
Plan my camping meals for at least a week, and emergency contingencies,
Prepare for any financial emergencies,
Arm myself with "legal" weaponry.
and....
Hope to have an enjoyable vacation.....

Yeah, Ole Scotty's got this, Dig?

Pictures here on the 11 O' Clock news when I return.....
Y'all be good until then, hear?

Best,

Scott

I'm sorry...
Do I bring forward tunes of yesterday that you recall?

But, that is my wont!

Here's another that you may or may not remember, depending upon your age....



Did you know that Mel Tillis was a stutterer? But could sing perfectly?
And, Music can win over any human condition!

How far back do you want to go for music that you might not have heard for ages?
Let me know....
Perhaps a song title you remember escapes your memory....
Or a few words of lyrics....

Let me know....After all, I DO know music!

How about this classic?


Reached #7 in 1964.

I can go as far back as you want to go.....

Scott




"Sherry" was #1 in 1962....
"Rag Doll" was #1 in 1964....
And "Walk Like a Man" was #1 in 1963

What an era!

So this is my 12 y/0’s last science fair. I have a great idea. Let me run it by my friends. Question — In a survival situation, can you turn sea water into fresh drinking water? I have the whole plan in my head. It’s a great one for where we live. Basically boil water in a container and catch the steam. Once the steam leaves the salt water, the heavy salt stays behind. Plus we’ll test the “captured steam” with a hydrometer. Any ideas anyone anyone Bueller, Bueller anyone..........haha what do you guys think?

 

Uncle Bill how did the garden turn out this year? Last night I was talking to my wife. I said I want to go hog hunting again. She says “ will you make up your mind?” “ You either want to live aboard a sailboat, or hunt pick one.” Why do you feel the need to hunt?” I said “ well it’s simple really.” “ A man needs to feel like he’s providing for his family.” “When I go to the grocery store and spend $300.00 I see the fruits of my labor.” But I’m a provider so I want to hunt to provide for my family nothing like looking at 300 pounds of meat in the freezer.”

2GF,

Well the garden has been a bit hit or miss. It been scorching hot with minimal rain so lots of watering which ain't as good as a rainfall.

All and all not to bad though.
