Sept 1 2015

Happy September first to everybody.

I like to watch old westerns, but I get carried away sometimes. You know the scene where the cowboys gather around the chuck wagon to have some stew, they get it in big plates and eat it with big wooden spoons and a loaf of bread. Once I see that scene I just have to try it myself, so I built a little fire pit out back, no worries, I have a big metal cover to drop over it if the fire starts to get out of control, you know, Lenny told me to put a fire out you just have to take the oxygen from it, my metal cover will do that. So, anyways, I heat my stew over the fire, put it on a big plate and go at it with a loaf of bread and my wooden spoon, just like out on the range, except it's real hard to find a chuck wagon, even harder to get it in the back yard. That's one thing, I also have to try a gun fight. Now, I don't own a gun so I have to rig up a holster and use my hammer as my gun, I got a pretty good imagination. After about a dozen draws I have to give it up though, the hammer and holster just aren't compatible, Billy the Kid would have emptied his six shooter before my hammer cleared the holster. The last thing is the barber, shaving guys with that little soap brush and that long razor, I have Deanie's dad's old soap brush, so lathering is really authentic, I don't have a long razor but I have this really sharp bread knife an Italian friend brought me back from Maniago. Oh boy! Never mind this was a really bad idea.

Have a great day
