I just dropped $25.00 over at the Walmart to get two fishing licenses that your fine city requires to fish Sahoma and Pretty Water.
Stopped at the feed store by the tracks and had some yucks with the boys while checking out the baby chicks in the big galvanized tubs.
Very good. We do throw good birthday parties around here! LOL! What are you going to do for your birthday?
I'd shoot him because he's only about fifty times bigger than me and he's pushing my tank around.
Good evening AZ. All is well, and thank you for another great thread.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. —2 Timothy 4:7
When D. L. Moody was moving into old age, he was asked to grant permission for his biography. Moody refused, saying, “A man’s life should never be written while he is living. What is important is how a man ends, not how he begins.”
For better or worse, I have failed to follow that dictum. My biography has been published. Yet I agree with Moody that the way our lives end is the crucial test of authentic discipleship. Only if we remain in a steadfast relationship with the Savior can we be confident not merely of entering heaven, but of obtaining the victor’s crown (1 Corinthians 9:25).
Paul was concerned about the possibility of being disapproved by his Lord (v.27). He was a redeemed believer who was serving the Lord, yet he feared that his service might prove to be wood, hay, and straw rather than gold, silver, and precious stones (1 Corinthians 3:12-13).
What will be the Lord’s appraisal of our lives? Will someone evaluating us be able to say honestly that we continued to bear fruit in old age? (Psalm 92:14). Whatever vocation we pursue, with the help of the Holy Spirit we may be “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful,
May the fire of our devotion light their way;
May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe,
And the lives we live inspire them to obey. —Mohr

For the ignorant, old age is as winter; for the learned, it is a harvest. —Jewish proverb
I hope you have a great day Hon!
