Pecans or field crops? South of Radium or North? I wont mention any names but I will bet you a gram of NYC Diesel that we know each other.

I was raised there too, and we both know it is no country for old men. That is why this old man lived up here now. I knew my luck would run out sooner or later and it did one day. I came out unscathed, but I figured I was pushing my luck. Just not as quick as I used to be but I am still tough, and that brings me to my point...

No one can hurt a really tough guy. They only hurt themselves. That is a truth that I brought back from the abyss and it helped me through. I am doing pretty good now. I am not wearing shackles and all the DASO deputies went home to their families. So far so good. i hope that you can get to some point that you can look back and sya that you are doing good too.
Man Bob that is so true about tough men hurting only themselves. South,I graduated Gadsden High. We had 20 full grown pecan trees and 5 acres of Alfalfa. We watered from our ditch that was 300' long,dirt. If I slacked off those dang weeds would be taller than me and still had to be cut of course. You know EBID frowns upon weed filled ditches. I bucked every bale in that field alone many times and did a lot of work for farmers from me to Hatch. If you knew anybody running cattle or horses then I could take that bet,I just don't bet when I haven't my end of the deal. You are damn right it is no country for old men. I haven't ridden rough stock for a couple years now, I NEVER got bucked off but I sure bailed many a time! Horses have and always be a part of my life,forever in my heart. My condition has left me with many bridges burned and I have to deal with that. I hear you on getting out Sir. Most of the time I am afraid to go anywhere because of all of the little punks around here begging for a beat down. The last thing I need is to go to jail again. Thanks for the message Bob. You changed my day,really. Put some in the air for me.
