Well, as per usual, it was a slobber-knocker... I had to purposes for going... The first was to retrieve a truck and trailers worth of stuff (wood stove insert (400 pounds). plow (300 pounds), 2 cast concrete pieces (100 pounds each) and about another 500 pounds worth of miscellaneous stuff... The second purpose was supervise the finding and rerouting of a drain pipe to a spec house I built and sold 3 years ago...

Well, I did the backfill so I figured (in my mind, that is) i knew exactly where that pipe was and how far down... "In my mind" is a bad place to keep important stuff but it's all we had to go on... Well, my hillbilly pack-hoe guy ended up digging the side of a hill below the house some 20 feet wide before we finally came up that 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe... But we found it but all that ate up my loading time... So I had a couple other hillbillies take my truck and trailer and load what they could (the heaviest stuff)...

All this, BTW, occurred while rain and snow pelted us... I was going to stay in the Holler Saturday night but was afraid I'd be iced in so late Saturday afternoon I bid a farewell to all my hillbilly buddies and headed south where I was supposed to meet up with an old friend for breakfast the following morning... Got as far as Loiusa, Va. where I got a room at the Roach Motel, drenked me a few cold beers and watched a good movie on the TV and before noddin' off...

Sunday went as planned... Breakfast with old friend in Richmond (Joe's Inn on Shields St.) and another 6 hours behind the wheel with quite a load and a strong wind on the right front of the truck so I laid in behind a "Barnes Transport" tractor trailer and sucked his draft for 200 of the 300 mile drive...

In other words??? Normal weekend for an abnormal ol' hillbilly...

If we don't hear back from you, I will assume it was because of "bad shine".

I'll play your CD while you're away - had I only checked my post box a few days ago, I could have played it while you were here!
