Since the campfire is burnin' and El Gato is not yet here,
amom. I'll start the night off with a cowboy joke...
A cowboy was trying to buy a horse from a horse seller.
The seller says, "I guess theres a little something you should know about this horse. He'll stop running when you say Amen, and he starts running when you say Praise The Lord!"
The cowboy said. "No Problem," and buys the horse.
He rides off on the horse, and suddenly decides to test the horse.
So he says, "Amen" and the horse stops in the road, just like the man said.
He says, "Praise The Lord" and the horse takes off running like mad, with the man holding on as hard as he could.
He yells, "Stop! Stop! Whoah, and You stupid horse" though nothing works!
So the cowboy began praying.
"Dear God, Oh Please let the horse stop!
Please God, Make him stop now. Amen."
The horse stopped right at the edge of a cliff.
With great joy and enthusiasm, the man screamed out,
very loudly "Praise The Lord!"
Hope yew got a*chuckle* outta that, TC..:))
Glad you got to gallivant some today, TC,
and we'll be standin' by for a report tomorrow, or whenever....
Still gonna post a rider for the Night Shift in a little while,
of course, to keep watch over you...
Hugs 'n snooches,

Haha - somehow I don't see ElRoy allowing you to touch him - do you?
Thank you for the update...the Aquarium, huh? Are we sure he didn't take his fishing pole with him? LOL
I am glad he is getting out, and I would love it if we heard from him tommorrow...
He says he has "issues" also....hopefully, they are just minor adjustments to the old belts and gauges and such...
God Bless TC, God....Texas sure is getting lonely without him.
Tonight it is Harvey -
obviously a 'Good Guy' since he's wearing a white hat..:))
Rider out -- prayers going up, TC....
Glad for your update, and it's good to hear TC is getting out a bit. Prayers up that his issues are handled swiftly and completely.
ROFL Amen. I'll say. What a visual! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
You can say that again......... we miss him something fierce!
TC rocks.
So TC rocks, your wife Rocks........ ;^)
Big difference
;<)
Cyborg rocks too!!
What were *you* thinking? What the heck was I thinking? Now I've got to look at endless pictures of drowned cats, and a few dogs too.
BTW, Miss V says "Hi", to TC and all his ladies.
I Just got back from Austin, where I got to feed and entertain Miss V. Plus eat some crab claws and leg of lamb that her Daddy made. Granny Gato is up in Nebraska visiting Miss V's only still complete "set" of great-grandparents. Tomorrow she'll stop and see Miss V's other living great grandma. (She also has a Great Grandpa Ted back east)
Ahh, one of my favorites, and I'm sure one of TC's as well.
I once saw Roy, Dale, Pat Brady, Nelli Belle (pat's Jeep) , Trigger and Trigger Jr. at the state fair. Even got to "lean" on Lucy Belle and pet Trigger Jr. in his stall.
(Dad used to call our '53 V-8 Pontiac "Lucy Belle")
See the story of Lucy Belle and Trigger Jr. I can elaborate around a campfire of course. Asking El Gato to tell a story is like asking Brier Rabbit to run into the Brier patch. ;).
HooRAH!
Yeah, I thought that would get a good response!
Thanks for the update WhyisaTexasgirl!
TC prayers for your healing still being said here in Oregon.
Thanks for the update. Nothing like a stingray or two to get a Texas Cowboy interested and perk up his spirits.
Hey, TC, tell us about the aquarium trip. Did you take your fishing pole?
Well that story of Lucy Belle and Trigger Jr must be quite something. Happy Trails to you (can you hear the music?) Such a lovely combination of voices those two had...sigh...such a handsome couple.
