The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City announced on March 16 that it was closing to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The museum then shared a post on social media, announcing that Tim, head of security, will take on the additional duty of social media management SNIP

“I have been asked to take on the additional duty of social media management while the museum is closed. I’m new to social media but excited to share what I am told is called ‘content’ on all of The Cowboy’s what I am told are ‘platforms’ including the Twitter, the Facebook, and the Instagram. My team and I will also continue to protect and monitor the museum and grounds. Thanks, Tim We are required to smile in our official photos. Send,” the museum’s Facebook post stated.

Tim has since been sharing his adventures throughout the museum on social media, and his hilarious posts have quickly gone viral online:

@ncwhm Hello, my name is Tim and I am the head of security for The Cowboy. I have been asked to take on the additional duty of social media management while the museum is closed. I’m new to this but excited. My team will also continue to protect and monitor the museum. Thanks, Tim

@ncwhm This is the hat and eyepatch the Duke wore in the movie True Grit. They are part of our Exhibition about the 2 True Grit. Lots of interesting props and clothes. I’m told I can’t try it on. Hashtag John Wayne. Lucas, my grandson, told me to use hashtags. Thanks, Tim

Is the hat an Oklahoma version vs the Texas Stetson? Just wondering about regional preference.

We lived in Norman for four years and Broken Arrow for three. I fondly remember several visits to the (then) Cowboy Hall of Fame, including the Chuck Wagon Reunion, or something to that effect.

Is The Beard of Knowledge doing the same at the Museum in Nevada?

POTUS Trump should invite him the one of the Daily Coronavirus Press Briefings.

When I retired from the Army 35 years ago, I knew that I wanted to grow more facial hair than the Hitler moustache that the Army allowed. Initially, I grew a Fu Manchu ... my late-wife put a quick stop to that, telling me that it made me look mean and angry.

So I shaved it all off, except the moustache over my lip and instead grew a full Burnside ...

At least once every day since that time, I've received a compliment about "my look" ...
