The big C - a nightmare in the making.

[Dogface]

If you can't quote yourself more than 5 times,
how is that talking to yourself?

 

[fajitapete]

If Pete Laughed it was worth any scolding.

You're right. I've been thinking - it sure won't be the same without him making those gawdawful "Woofing" noises he does at the Loraine Bulldogs' games that could be heard clear to Colorado City; even after charley's derriere has been kicked to the curb, and he's in the stands next fall, I figure he might need to conserve his voice so I was sort of hoping that someone had a recording of the infamous bark and we could just get am amplification system and blast it out during the game.

Me, my mom, my sister and our combined 5 children were thinking of making a trek up to visit him but a friend cautioned me ... well actually what she said was "Dear God - all of you descending en masse would be too much for a healthy man to cope with much less someone taken sick - have some pity - they don't make drugs strong enough to deal with all of ya'll and radiation too." (Pete - you reading this? that's a quote from Kate Hogue down in Big Bend country - she says to tell you hi, that she thinks your blog is a great idea, to keep wearing those shirts and if you lost the facial hair you'd be the spitting image of your Dad)

Why Sissy Lou, how sweet. I owe Kathy big time now. This is kind of nice I can usually get rid of anyone by simply saying "feeling a little weak here, need to lay down" Took me several tries to figure out that is not the line to use on women- has exactly the wrong effect, they leave.

You can get a visit from a sick relative if you promise to stay home, I figure the 350 mile trek is less stressful than you guys descending as in a hoard of locust upon me.

AND ANOTHER THING - "gawdawful "Woofing" noises "?

I'll have you know that that sound is the succinct call of the pack to celebrate another successful hunt, a takedown of epic proportions, a celebration of deeds performed. If you had been paying attention you would realize the length of each call increase as points were placed on the board.

And of course, the call is issued as a rallying cry to the young warriors on the field to remind them the old dogs have their back.

You're a keeper Pete. Hang in there.

Hoard of locust???? Mother and I were just tossing around the idea of only going as far as Dallas (we were going to go to Arkansas to dig diamonds) and letting my children go to the Ft. Worth zoo, while she stopped in to check on you. My 'hoard of locust' were going to stay away from you and spend time in the zoo - where they belong.

 

[Anne]

Have Ya'll noticed that Doggy is talking to himself? It took me a little while to figure it out.................

I think it happens when he can't remember where he buried his bone.

He's been getting crazier since the squirrel stole his bone...

maybe he thinks mommajackson has the bone.

I hope not. He'll really think she's hot if she's got his bone...
(Pete, this wasn't intended to be dirty so get your mind out of the gutter)

Keep it up Pete. Every team needs an obvious supporter.

And Another Thing-
Actually,
Woofing noises are my favorite kind.

btw,
remember that tough looking dog on the little rascals
with the ring around it's eye?
It's name was Petey,
and it woofed too.
So,
there's that.

Well Pete, regarding your blog on sunday about medication, music and the "missing part of the trio"....
Had a friend years ago that received as a joke a life sized, realistic, blow up, ah, toy. Now he claimed it had never been used. If ya like I can give him a call if you might be interested in borrowing it.

Nah - with that type of action figure it means you got to be the one doing all the action. Me, I'm the lazy type, I would be jest fine with them doing all the work. plus no blow up doll can fetch me a cool one from the fridge.

If anybody up around Dallas knows a good Vet Pete might need his services. According to his blog yesterday he was fellin' a little wormy. Almost half done. He might need a dewormin to get all the dead charleys out if his system.

I may make a house call in the next few days. Pete has been seeing too many of those fancy doctors. Those folks are so dumb they think alcohol is bad for you...

 

[Sissylue]

I know. I read on his blog that he can't drink beer anymore it tastes so bad. Ditto on the taste of pizza. The HORROR !!!! I hope that charley gets kicked to the curb pretty damn fast so we can have the obnoxious beer guzzling version of Pete back ... I fear that if he does much more of this clean-living it may take hold as a habit he can't shake even when his tastebuds are restored to their former pristine functioning.

 

[51eleven]

"even when his tastebuds are restored to their former pristine functioning."
Wait a minute. He mentioned something in all this about eating sushi. By 60 years old you'd think he learned how to cook fish. It's the only way to get that fish smell out of them so they taste good. When he gets over this we ought to all get together and have a fish fry so he can aquire a new taste. Slightly crunchy catfish makes beer taste even better (skip Goob's carp).

Every July , a great expedition is held, traveling the hyways and byways to Colorado. The final leg of the trek is 25 miles of forest service road to Platoro CO. where the trout fishing is unsurpassed. With a daily limit of 4 catch and release becomes necessary after the first hour on a good day, and most are very good.

Compounding this problem is the fact bag limit is 10 fish per person. so by day three were are having to eat fish, nothing is as good as fresh trout, grilled, smoked, fried it doesn't matter, fresh = good.

The great expedition is open to all with only a few rules, this year it scheduled starting July22-26 but some come earlier and some stay later. Some camp, some get cabins, I'm at Platoro Valley Lodge, it's a step up from primitive, has flush toilet.

Committed this year is are 11, but normally we have 7-16 just depends. Interested PM me and I'll answer questions.

My house in the Dallas area to camp, 820 miles

~~~~ Great Expedition Rues ~~~~

1. It is a manly expedition, If you bring small girls or women, open air urination, (pee peeing for doc PeePee) is not goignto be curtailed.
2. Scratching and farting is not restrictive, it itches; you scratch, you need to; you fart. Extra points for laying one out silent and then moving away
3. Drinking and smoking is a choice, but get rowdy and we will beat your ass, most are sober types.
4. Since there is no tv or radio, evening entertainment can consist of card playing but if you know how to 42 you're in like flint.
5. We don't care what you do, did or plan to do, we are there to fish and enjoy the good company of fellow fishermen.
6. The bringing of men child to the expedition is encouraged, but they will not be entertained, you bring em they are your responsibility. Love the kids, bring em.
