CRISPINS CRITTERS

As I headed home this evening after helping my locksmith Friend,

I thought of what awaited me at Home....

Not much.

Dishes and a Ramen supper....

Let's be honest here...
Have you ever been embarrassed when your stomach growled loudly?

Recently?

Daily?
Yeah....About that....

I'm hungry.....

NOTHING NOR ANYONE AWAITS MY RETURN HOME!

If I only had a woman, or my Buddy, Otis awaiting my return home....

Picture 107.jpg
A woman who loved me for bein' Scott...
Right now I'd be more than happy to once again hear Otis purr in my lap. Just once more.....:crybaby2:

Oh, do I have love to give....


She would be a beauty....

One in a million....
(I've already tried with 3 to make a go at it..... 999,997 left to go.....)



My Best,

Scott



Thinkin' of a a friend....:thumbsup:

And, {snap}

Just like that....

You're in Love.........
Where? Who? Me?

Nah....
(running dishwater and heating water for ramen....)

Nope. That was in response to one of Scott's posts above. Hey I brought momma home today. She's ok, tired, in pain, but I have my girl back! I was just being a smarty pants...... That was the first thing that came to mind. Having worked in the ER you see very strange things late at night friend, very strange.......,,
 

Yeah your Kings and Queens are odd. Your white queen looks like a pawn to me. It's not " distinguished"
 

My son just sent me a poster that says - beware of an old man- in a profession where men die young.... How true, so true
 

Folks,

I tripped over this song on the internet.....I used to watch this group live back in my misspent youth on trips to Barbados....quite the memories.

Not a clear picture of the chess board but....
Two white queens on the board? (Yeah, I said it.)

Music to wait for a chess move......with multiple or misrepresented figures.

I don't know anything about chess...I've never had the opportunity to learn.
But I did just make a deal to buy another quad. It's a 2001 and is low miles. The motor is a little messed up but that's no problem for me. Now my wife will have one to use. I already have a identical one except it's green to this new one. $325 a fair deal for both the seller and I.

I've got a fishing buddy that's been in the business for years. Last Fri. I heard him turn down 250.00 to get the keys out of this guys Caddy. It was sitting in the driveway of the lady caller and they were pressed for time. Guess hubby doesn't like parking in the street. Bob must be doing better than he lets on passing deals like that to go drown a minnow.

Pesci Raps....'it's the *****es that get ya'

DR nice deal. Any engine issues I know you can fix it. I was thumbing through a Survival magazine the other day and they had a formula for making diesel fuel! Cool huh? Made me think of you and you probably have that "still" set up in your back yard already! Haha
 

Hey UZD why don't you tell the Critters a little about yourself?

Lol! Yeah, I've looked into making my own biodiesel. I just don't have the time to do it. My old 12 valve dodge is a good candidate to run it on though (perfect non computerized zombie apocalypse bug out vehicle!) I love that old truck, even though I don't drive it much (barely put on 5000 miles last year).

My son is pretty excited to get the quad and do a project with me!

I can understand turning down the job, sometimes we all need some time off.

I spent my formative years on acreage my parents acquired in the 60's. A land grant that a fellow named Winters left to his two daughters, actually he abandon them after his wife died in childbirth to roughneck. The sisters...both spinsters... sold the place in their late 70's. Never had indoor plumbing. Eventually I took a job in the big city, retired early and spend all the time I can on the place. My parents were products of the cottonfield and not prone to entertain images of buried treasures, didn't share my enthusiasm for all the neat stuff I amassed over the years. It wasn't until recently I learned the place is special in a strange way. It was a haven for travelers from Amerindians. It's touched on below in the States historical account. Consequently a Butterfield Stage Line, Chisum Trail, Grange Lodge and other entties built on or near. The biggest concentration of mustangs brought Nolan and the Comanches. Mustang Ck gets it's beginning on the place, Nolan's grave is within sight and Buzzard Cave is in walking distance.

THSA

The first traces of human inhabitants in the area that became Hill County date back to A.D. 1300 and were found at Buzzard Cave on the Brazos River near Blum. In the early eighteenth century Waco and Tawakoni groups of the Wichita established small hunting camps of grass huts along Richland and Pin Oak creeks in the northeastern and southeastern portions of the county. Beginning with Spanish expeditions, Europeans entered the region. Pedro Vial, a Frenchman hired by the Spanish to find a route to Santa Fe from San Antonio, was probably the first European to reach what would become Hill County. He reported stopping at a Tawakoni village on the east side of the Brazos River between December 15 and 21, 1786. The first Anglo to reach the area that became Hill County was Philip Nolan, in 1801. He established a camp and three stockade fences northeast of Blum on Battle Creek to hold wild mustangs captured in the area. Nolan was killed by the Spanish in March 1801, after being warned to leave the area. Stephen F. Austin's survey map of 1822 included the Hill County area. A land dispute between Austin and Sterling Clack Robertson began after the Mexican government passed the Law of April 6, 1830. Austin claimed Robertson had not fulfilled his quota of colonists before the execution of the law, but Robertson won the appeal to the Mexican government and received the land that would later include Hill County. William Steele, the land commissioner for Robertson's colony, had issued the first land grant on March 15, 1825, to Peter Fleming, a twenty-nine-year-old Missourian. The land was located between the Brazos River and Aquilla Creek. In 1835 Robertson kept land for himself and gave further grants to John Burgess, Montgomery Shackelford, and John Carr; he gave the largest grant, twenty-four labores, to William McFarlin. Each parcel of land extended eastward from points along the Brazos River.

During the 1820s Comanche and Taovaya (Towash) Indians migrated into the region, concealing their movement by following the Cross Timbers. By 1824 Stephen F. Austin had sent a commission to make a treaty with the Indians of the area. The land dispute between Austin and Robertson continued to frustrate efforts to establish peace with the Indian groups of the area. In the 1830s Hasinai and Anadarko groups left East Texas, and by February 1844, under the leadership of José María, an Anadarko, they had settled in the Hill County area. One of the Torrey Trading Houses was established and served as a focal point for the 150 Indian huts. In an effort to keep watch over Indian activity and intercept Comanche raiding parties, the Texas Rangers established Fort Smith, a temporary camp, on the high ground near White Rock on September 15, 1845. Fort Graham, at the mouth of Bear Creek, was established on March 27, 1849. It served as one of nine permanent outposts constructed on a line from the West Fork of the Trinity River to Eagle Pass. The outpost was abandoned on November 9, 1853, but a town remained in the area. Though 240 Indian raids were recorded in the counties surrounding Hill and Johnson counties, there was no record of such raids in Hill or Johnson. A lieutenant Whiting made the observation that the area that later became Hill County was probably used as a "council-spot" for discussions and making treaties. Safe passage was given to all people through the area.

As far as identifying these chess pieces....:icon_scratch:

I'm looking for a better set....

A BIG FIGHT!

Me, you and the world against the idiots.
America is fighting.
For it's survival.

The concept of a Constitutional Government and the Bill of Rights was a relatively new concept of governance in the 1700's.
These new ideas were brought about because of the oppressive,
tax laden and religious doctrines imposed upon the settlers and
Colonists of the "New World."

But not for long.....

Read Thomas Paine....
These ideas were borne of men that we call,
"Our Fore Fathers."

This Wednesday, Veteran's Day,
Please take a moment to remember how America was born.
And Thank a Vet!



Ooops...

Politics ain't allowed....

My bad.

Guess I'll post this to the Wolf Pack page....

Hope all have been well!

Best,

Scott
