WHITE Hills of Tenn!

by the way, you're not a very sympathetic friend. guess i'll be painting walls today. biggest reason i'm in the doghouse is cuz i told "you know who" that the handle on that paint roller would fit her hand as well as it does mine. (never did learn how to keep the mouth shut)

saw a pic of irv's TO-20 on the post. got me wantin' to get mine in the shop. pretty nice. i bet you'll be itchin' to get some paint on yours after seeing that huh?

i remember the bus i was on sliding off the road and getting stuck in a ditch on the way to school one morning...we all cheered! didn't think about that we coulda been hurt or killed. funniest part of it was, the bus was stuck closer to the school than most of us had to walk to get to the bus stop from our houses, but we just sat there and waited a couple hours til they brought another bus to get us there.

whenever i compliment my wife she says thank you, but gives me that sideways look like she wonders what i'm up to or what i did wrong. i wonder what i did to make her that suspicious of me???? 80)

Have you ever noticed that wives really don't enjoy the finer points of humor. I think I have wasted some of my wittiest comments on my wife. Even this morning, she asked if I would like to go out and sweep her car off and start it for her. I replied that only the village idiot would LIKE leaving a hot cup of coffee to do that and I ranked myself at least one notch above that town position. Without blinking an eye, she asked if I would LIKE her to retire and let me go back to work. So, I picked up the broom, laid down my sense of humor, and let well enough alone.

I am truly impressed with Irv's tractor! Yes, it does make me impatient to get on with the program. I am like you, though, in that I sure don't want to fight all of that red dust when I attack the main body of the tractor. I guess that will be this coming week's project.

As to keeping the mouth shut, everytime I see Ron White do his comedy routine about being drunk and having the RIGHT to remain silent - but not the ABILITY, I wince a little bit because that just hits too close to home. And it doesn't take any alcohol to put me in that position - it's a natural born talent!

ah yes...ron white. i'll have to tell you a story about the "right to remain silient" someday if we ever get together. (actually...it's more a story of not having the ability) which reminds me...thought about makin' it over this way for that auction tomorrow in decaterville? i'll be there with my neighbor/partner/buddy. he's lookin' for a good 10' bush-hog. i have no idea what i'm lookin' for...guess i'll know it when i see it.

most our snow is gone, 'cept in the shadows. i hope that's the last of it. hey!! didn't you once say that you had a grandaughter that's never seen snow? i hope she got to play in it a little before it melted.

take care you villiage idiot,
from this villiage's idiot

Yes, I am the one with the notorius four-year old. I haven't had a chance to talk to her today, but I am interested in her reaction also. She is the one that, when she was three, her dad went by the daycare to pick her up. The lady told him she would have to go in and get her out of time-out. When she got in the truck, he asked her if she had been in time-out. She looked up, thought about it for a minute, and asked, "Daddy, did you see me in time-out?" No, was the answer. She thought a minute again and replied, "Well Daddy, if you didn't see me then I wasn't in time-out". I think I have the makings of a good country lawyer here!
