Brings back memories. My grandparents always had a candy dish with Brach’s Butterscotch hard candies in it. ALWAYS.
And, yes - I got my sweet tooth from my grandparents. Grandfather liked a piece of cake or pie after every meal. Grandmother had a dish of ice cream every day. Neither of them was overweight. They worked hard every day.
Cancer took him “early“ at 76. Alzheimer’s took her mind at 94, but not her body till 99. Long enough ago that I only have good memories- like the butterscotch candy dish.
John Schneider's wife just passed this week.
219 yards, 17 HMR, one shot, didn’t even twitch.

One of those things that while eating it, even as a child, I knew enough to be thinking “man this isn’t good for me!”
As a much younger man I worked summers filling vending machines. The Hostess guy showed up at 5 am every weekday. No blueberry but during the summer months we got strawberry. We sold them for 75 cents.
Now, I’m not saying I ever stole any, I considered sampling in the name of product quality supervision to be a vital duty of the job.

Did the Charles bitch make that arm from her husbands firearms she had him get rid of?
Gotta admit it. Dumbass can take a punch.... Or 15.
He just kept on taking and taking and taking
My mom’s Olds Regency 98. My dad and I went to look at it and ended up buying it. On the way home he romped down on it on hwy 70 between Clayton and Smithfield. The speedo was a long sweeping unit and at some point when that 455 was really eating he yelled “Hey open the glove box!”. I did and said “What am I looking for?!”. He said “The speedometer!” And laughed like a madman
My dad had owned some bad ass cars but never drove hard with me in the car until that day. My brain had some part switch on that day and at 12 I became obsessed with all things automotive. I got Car Craft and Hot Rod magazines for 20 years til they went to shite. Built some good cars, spent 20 years in the dealership, ASE Master Tech, service writer, manager, Snapon dealer…..
All because of that day. Thanks dad.
Ended to soon. I wanted to see what happened to the next one. It looked like it was going to get real.
I wave at a neighbor like that. Trying to smile and be friendly even know they know and I know that we hate each other with a hate that knows no bounds. (He is a real son of a bitch, who’s reputation is known far and wide. Me, I’m just a nice fellow ).
When the belly is fulleth with the evening feasting on fish, fowl and the fatted calf and have put away the sword, buckler, dagger, and body armor be content to lieth in the bed and rest the head on the bosom of the SWMBO. Yea, neglect not the firestick. Keepeth it loaded with leaden seeds of freedom that turneth into mushrooms in the bodies of thine enemies. Keepeth it clean and anointed with oil. And if the have let the rust creepeth into the bowels of the firestick may the be cursed among gunslingers and hold the manhood cheap. Showeth not thine face among the armed brethren that dwelleth in the gun clubs and marketplace of the firesticks. Harken unto these words so that when the unclean human pieces of excrement crosseth thine doorway that the may filleth their bowels with leaden seeds that turneth into mushrooms and turneth them into worm food."

See how weird that looks? The 'ye' sound in old English isn't a 'y'. The Y is a shortened/ close approximation of the letter thorn. Thorn has the sound of 'th'.

Doesn't that sound better?
Winter is the best time. They don’t hibernate. Spring and summer they go nocturnal.
Ten in one day is my record, set about 6 weeks ago.
One of these days I’m gonna cut the hindquarters off and cook ‘em in a crockpot.

Installed my Pat’s Easy Hitch system 
and some hooks on the bucket. The nuts on the hook install are inside the weldment and were interesting to get to.

See the young man in this picture? He was 18 years old when it was taken at the train station in Mobile, Alabama, in 1952. There is $1.50 in his pocket. In that bag by his foot are two changes of clothes. (And if his mama was anything like most other mamas in the South, probably some sandwiches and other snacks.) He was on his way to Indiana to take a job. He was going to play baseball for the Indy Clowns of the Negro Leagues. Apparently, he was pretty good at it. A couple of years later, he was signed by the (then minor league) Milwaukee Brewers. He played for the Brewers for 2 seasons, then moved across town to the Braves, and later followed them to Atlanta. Eventually, he was the last Negro League player to be on a major league roster.
Even though the team has changed stadiums (twice) since then, his retired number, 44, still hangs on the outfield wall of the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium near where he belted a homer to break Babe Ruth's all-time record (which he held for 33 years).
His name is "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron.

You have to do it when it's least expected and catches them off-guard. They will usually wave back and then curse themselves for the moment of weakness.
