The day begins as we converge in North Texas to once again celebrate the life of Texas Cowboy in the fashion he would want us to have fun together.
Am not going to apologize, Hap. Am more qualified to be the Taste Tester of Bacon Candy. I’m older. More years of experience. When I retire, I promise I’ll recommend you! Quit now ... It’s the right thing to do.
The three of you pulled off a miracle. Not one cat being herded was lost. Thank each of you for a miracle.
LOL, you are crackin’ me up! Sadly though, Bacon Man cannot fire or retire me. I incorporated it into our marriage license. :)
But ... But ... I can make you an offer you can’t refuse. Can’t you be bribed?
Am negotiating with a better intelligence than me. The offer you can’t refuse will be ready soon. Taste Tester of Bacon Candy! Now that is a job title anyone could be proud of.
Excellent. Thanks for updating us. Hadn't seen a peep from her, and didn't know why. I've got to keep tabs on my bestest buddy :-)
I want this job.

Thank You for taking my efforts to become a Taste Tester of Bacon Candy seriously. Pictures help. The effort to contract with Hap will not be in vain. There is finally a purpose to this life. ‘Taste Tester of Bacon Candy’ is a worthy goal. Will not be denied! Contract of offer Hap can’t refuse is being drafted. Give me something to live for Hap! Sign the contract once delivered!
Don’t be so sure n-t-i, I work for lawyers! Ha!
Tell you what though, you guys make it to the next shoot, I will relinquish my official taste tester duties to you for the day.
I must warn you though, it will take all your will power to resist not eating the entire batch yourself. With great power comes great responsibility. :)
Hap ... Thank You for relenting without a contract. You have made my day. Most would want it in writing. You have delivered, in writing, my wildest dream ... I am a ‘Taste Tester of Bacon Candy! Thank You! Am going to frame your post.
It was an honor to meet you Mr Rod. I’ll be in touch soon to help plan something for November. And to hook up at the depot. :-) LB
I missed everyone too. You’re welcome for the earrings. I’m delighted that you like them.
It is my hope as well that I will survive and that Bryan and I will certainly attend the 10th
Memorial Shoot for Texas Cowboy.
My CAT scan and echo-cardiogram went well today. I feel pretty good, but I had so much
contrast fluid to drink or be injected into me that all I can drink is water, in order to flush
them all out. It’s slow going... ;-)
Oy vey. Keep us posted on how you’re doing. You are in our prayers.
lol - thanks for the compliment. I got that shirt on Amazon, but it seems that it is no longer available there.
However, I think you can have it made at:
Good Luck.
I missed you at the shoot - praying for your complete recovery and expect to see you at the next one.
That CAT scan and echo-cardiogram and especially that contrast can really take the wind out of one’s sails - been there, done that.
Hang in there, and trust in God to bring you comfort and healing.
Call me if you are in my area and have time to catch a bite or have coffee. Always a pleasure to hang out with FReepers, and you are welcome here anytime.
(Check your FReepmail for my #.)
Lordy, don’t tell me that Nagant revolver is yours too....
Eaker, thanks for the ping and the great pictures.
I agree that a great time was had by all, and I’m looking forward to the next Shoot, if I can afford it and my health allows it.
