Bjuice,
When a man is on his John Deere mowing, he's in another world! All is right with the world. Come on down and I'll let you take the John Deere for a spin!!

hey scooterz, that is a cool story. bet it made you feel great, like a trip back in time.!! thats what ive been lookin for. a way to go back. im praying that when my brain finally goes all the way that i go back to the 70s and stay there..lol i love it when im in one of my cars and run apon another. it like all this crappy cars disappear and im right where i want to be....

Scooterz 09-26-2012 09:52 AM

Yeah Ken, those are rare events now days when 2 Hot Rods see each other on the road... man it kills me to even say that!! Now kids have I-Phones & Toyota Prius's w/ satellite capabilities... Wait.... BBHHHHAAALLLLHHHHH!!!!!! (I had to PUKE real quick). Anyways, "Cyber-Sex"... that is the new generation here. (It is like seeing an AAR 71 Cuda w/ a slant-6 engine).... TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

My generation is later b/c I am younger than you. But even in the late 80's I could cruise "Central Ave" in Phoenix on a Saturday night & it was like a rolling car-show. Cops were everywhere though... women everywhere too... good times. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. It was a season... a season our kids will never even comprehend.

Memories like 2-lane black top, American grafftti, Easy-Riders, however you define those days/or season... all we have now is a few movies, pictures, memories, etc... that can capture going back in time to define those days. I caught the last tail-end of that generation... then it was gone like a dream.

outlaw256 11-30-2012 04:33 AM

good outlook there buddy,i admire that kind of thinkin!

zipper06 11-30-2012 07:08 AM

Outlaw, i spent 5 days in you neck of the woods, last week. We got there on wensday, the weather was mid 60's, then the weather droped off the map. My sister built a cabin on lookout mountain by (Mentone). We were trying to get siding and insulation on it. Man it got down to the mid 20's at nite by sat. Us with no electricty, no water, trying to sleep on blowup matresses, no heat, just what we could run with a gererator. Probably the worse 5 days i've had in a few yrs. I'm not going back until spring.

Zip.

Naw! outlaw, i ain't too old yet, i still got almost 2 months before i'm 74, i'm not going to live there, my sister who is 5 yrs. younger had a shell cabin built and i was just going to help her get it livable, but the weather quickly turned too dam cold to do anything, i mean mid 40's day time 20 mph winds, mid 20's nite time. But funny it wasn't to cold to go to Collinsville to the open air market and walk for 4 hrs. on sat. I guess i'll never understand women, maybe that's why i've been divorced twice, and single since 1982.

I just renewed my Lics. on monday, they are now good until 2017, i'm hoping to renew them atleast 1 more time.

Zip.

outlaw256 12-07-2012 03:39 AM

Stop watching Fox news.

Glad your OK!

Scooterz 01-16-2013 06:56 PM

Ken I am glad you are OK. I hope you stay better & keep your chin up.... Or in my case, try to keep it down more for when I get schooled in the gym. I will pray for to have healing & few breaks.

I have been in KY the last week + at a show.

This is my first post on a new IPhone.... I had a 5yr old "flip" POS

Where at in KY Scoot? Im in TN right now around Fort Campbell

Scooterz 01-18-2013 09:14 AM

Went to Louisville. Attended the "ATA Show" (Archery Trade Assoc.) & got back recently. Never been there b4... nice folks in KY. Toured the KY derby, ate KY fried chicken, saw some cool things about Muhammad Ali while there too. But for the most part; just worked. Next Year we will go to TN closer to you (Nashville). How far is that from you? I am looking forward to that show... I bet it is nice there. How long are you going to be in TN? I have never been to TN yet.

outlaw256 01-18-2013 11:51 AM

thanks guys, it really means alot to me to have yall concerned about me.it really does.this makes the 3d mild one ive had in 15 yrs. first 2 were brought on by excessive whiskey intake! this one probably came on because of my lifestyle over the yrs.i havent drank whiskey or any other booze in yrs but i eat what i want and smoke 3 pks aday.and use narcotics for my pain management.and i cant sleep more than a couple hrs a nite. so i kinda think im runnin on borrowed time.but i gotta say ive had a ball!!but dont worry ive told my wife and son that when the time comes to make sure they get on racin junk and the hamb and tell the boys ive takin a trip.and i wont be comin back.oh and scooter if ya go to nashville next yr you will be about 2 hrs from me!

Scooterz 01-18-2013 04:38 PM

Well Ken, keep on borrowing more time... you need to finish a few ground-pounder cars & we like having you around here. I would love to pay you a visit & shoot the breeze with ya when I go to TN!! Until then, keep your prayers going & you & I will end up in the same place anyways eventually.

Harbone 01-18-2013 05:36 PM

stay strong Ken, send me a message or two and let me know how you are doing. Thinking of you friend.

wazup 01-19-2013 09:02 AM
