CRISPINS CRITTERS

[G.I.B.]

Drunk? No... therapy in progress is how I prefer to remember it.

When we got married I said, "I do" and she said, "Let's eat!"

I will not say what she was, but she was and I believe that she was NOT of this earth to cause such pain....

I'm sure that y'all know someone that fits that description...

Call it what you will, I have my own term.

Here's a short story that the next song reminds me of....



I was married to my SECOND wife and we lived in a rural 3 bedroom
"earth-contact home" built by a schoolmate who became a contractor and builder.

One night, during a bitterly cold Kansas night,
she put more wood into the wood stove without my knowledge.

Well, I tried to mix the firewood to prevent creosote build-up.
She had no clue...

About 3 am in the morning I'm awakened by the smoke detector.

We have a flue fire!

I jump out of bed, wearing nothing more than boxers and grab a fire suppressant in the form of a flare.

I'm straddling the roof, in my boxers,
physically rip the top of the chimney stack off and strike the fire suppressant "flare"
and toss it down the pipe.

When all was said and done, I saved the house, my wife and step-daughter.

Oh, That tactic led to a great mess inside.

Guess who was "allowed" to clean?

Guess who was relegated to only helping COLLECT firewood?


Ya know, I still love her, even today.....
Guess it all just wouldn't work out still....

Best,

Scott​

Ain't it funny how one story reminds you of another....

My step-daughter, who was only 15 at the time, went with me to a Foghat concert in KC at the Uptown Theater.
Her Mom, my wife, was supposed to go, but couldn't because of...?
I don't remember why....

Anyhow,
When we got to the venue, I had to prove that I was her legal guardian.
She was 15, I was 26.

Doesn't that seem strange?
(shame on you! NO hanky-panky here...)

FOGHAT!



Many more stories of an old man dying inside.

Bank the old an dying awhile yet,potential risk of multiple decades ahead yet if you just stay in debt.​

I'll leave y'all tonight with a song that has constantly come to my awareness today.

Perhaps it is one that this group wishes to express towards each other.

"Lean on me."



Hope all are well and happy!

My Best,

Used to load truck a state south once a week first marriage. Always surprised to come home and the house not be burnt down.Not from it not getting fed in my absence which was usual,but because I always feared I would leave the damper open when cranking stove up in the wee hours when sleepy eyed before take off.

A doctor once told his patient, "You only have a week to live."

The patient said, " But I cannot pay you until two weeks have passed."

The Doctor says, "I'll give you two weeks to live."

Ah,
An old Animals tune...

Here's an Animals tune of Percy Mayfield.

Enjoy!

The Original by Percy Mayfield....



I have both versions...
My copy of Percy on 78 rpm....

RC,
Another, "coincidence?"

I once worked for "Mayflower Moving and Storage."

My job, as moving supervisor, was to meet with the client, arrange times and places and schedule personnel.

I have been paid to move cinderblocks across country!

I've also packed valuable cars in my trailers....

I am an expert on packing, stacking and making sure that nothing is damaged.

Once, about 10 years ago, a friend called from Kentucky and was willing to pay for plane fare, meals, and "incidentals...."
for me to supervise his move of his Family to Kansas. He knew of my skills....


(This meant that I'd be driving the Semi-truck....)

Friends,

It was the best move!

My Friend was in the cab of the truck as we went over the bridge in St. Louis on the 4th of July and traffic had stopped for the river display at the Arch!

Yes,
The memories Uncle Scott has....


With only my Friends here to share them with....

Best,

Scott

For you, Jeff, my Friend.
You once said that you liked my posting of the Muppets "Old Dudes."



"Gee, that Scott seems like a nice kid...."

"Ah, what do you know, you old fart."

"But...."

"But what, you dimrod?"

My Best,

Scott

PS.
Gee.
Imagine Ole Jeffers an' me gettin' along...
Who'd have figgered'?​

Well, here it is,
in the middle of the night,
and I'm thinking about making sushi....

I am surely sick and delirious.

However, I've got fresh salmon, cucumber.......

Maybe tomorrow, eh?

It's hard to judge sometimes,
in the middle of the night....



See y'all later.

My Best,

Scott​
