Well, we have half of the deal done...

Yup, we have a contract on the farm to close on or before June 1st... "The boys" who bought our spec house are buying it which will give them control of the entire original footprint...

Now if the moron bankers at Sun Trust will okay the short sale than we'll be good-to-go...

I trust everything will go well for you and yours, Bobert.

PS I assume selling the farm is a lot better than having bought it.

Yo, Amos and Kendall...

Guess what??? The new house has enough space for all of ya'll's to visit and not have to sleep on a couch!!! Bring yer fishin' rod, Capt'n, cause the 1 acre pond is stocked with crappie and small mouth bass... No, you can't bring yer harpoon...

I can see it now... The three of us sipping mint juleps by the pond, watching the sun set and telling lies... Don't get no better than that...

That's good, Bobert. I'm sort of relieved that you didn't accept Chongo's last offer because...

1. I think it would have been too big a burden for him to take on, what with maintaining his business in Chicago, and...

2. You'd have been ripped off most tragically! ;-)

Well, get a place where you can at least fit a couch! What?? They have to sleep in their cars??

Oh, fer...I ain't invited! Jist fer that, Bobert, I ain't gonna play my duck call at Getaway next year for ya!

What happens if the bank don't approve the purchase of the NC house? You gonna sleep in the van or what? Just remember, you're invited to stay at my place FOR A FEW DAYS. All you gotta do is get there.

Hey are you taking your rope-making plants with you?

Of course, yer invited, Rap... Duck call and all... Yep, me, you, Amos and the Capt'n...

Wait!!! Okay, someone will be on the couch but, hey???

Sorry, GfinS... But there ain't gonna be no proceeds... Might of fact, we're gonna have come up with some $$$... Seein' as yer part of that upper 5% I thought you might have some spare dough to throw into the mix.... You'll even get an official invite to sit around with the guys out by the pond, get drunk, lie and spit... Heck of an offer...

Speakin' of offers, LH... I'm keeping the big gun by the door in case Chongz decides to come visitin'... I've had enough of him for a while... Maybe a couple years might change things but I doubt it... He is a nasty little weasel of a monkey... I mean, sheet fire, son... Can't you teach the sumabich some basic toilet trainin', 'er what???

Chongo remembers his time with you most fondly too, Bobert. He says you do need help in a couple of key areas, and he'd be glad to make the needed adjustments. He's even found a crowbar here that he says is just right for the job. ;-) (He feels that the tommgun would be overkill...to use an expression.)

How ya gonna keep him down on the farm
After he's moved to NC?
How ya gonna keep him away from Raleigh
Jukin' around and paintin' the town
How ya gonna keep him away from harm, that's a mystery
He'll never want to see a rake or plow
And who the deuce can play blues to a cow?
How ya gonna keep him down on the farm
After he's moved to NC?

The folks in NC that introduce themselves will certainly ask you where you worship in the first 30 seconds of meeting.

But then there are those who hang back and will watch you ata distaance.

But Shucks you won;t be lonely long. All ya gotta do is go shootin and those neighbors will come out of their blinds and try to gitcha to join their militia.

btw them 9 mm don't git much respect down there. Bring yur 357 or mossburg if ya wanna git along.

PS
best ya say sumpin nasty about Obama in the first minute and ask them where they git ammo and night crawlers later.
PPSS
Iffn ya find yurself drivin on Billy Graham Blvd, yer in the way too civilized part of town. Thars Obama lovers down thataway!

First things first... Charlotte is 45 minutes away and there's the Double Door Blues Club there... Second, yeah, we'll be lookin' for a church when we get down there but we're kinda picky so we'll tell 'um that we'll be lookin' and then they'll say somethin' like "Well, we'd love to have you at _____________ Baptist Church" and then we'll say, "Thanks, but we're Presbyterian..." That'll shut 'um up unless, of course they ask us to come to the _____________ Presbyterian Church and then we might check it out...

No matter...

Back to music... Ashville is 2 hours and I can play on the streets there if I want to and make a few $$$ since looks as if GfinS ain't gonna throw no peas in the pot... Guess she don't wnat sit by the pond with Leadfingers, Amos, Donuel, the Capt'n, Rap, Noreen, Janie and my new carpenter's assistant, BillD... telling lies, fishin', gettin' drunk, spittin' an' all...

I've got a girlfriend in NC who keeps offering me a plane ticket to come out. When I get fit enough, I'll have to see how close she lives to ya'alls. I can't take up her offer until I've seen my dau. and grandsons in CT, though; it wouldn't be fair. Would love to do some genealogy work in NC, though. Have fun and congrats!

Bobert, in looking for songs from The Virginian, sung by Randy Boone, I found he is still writing and singing songs and thought THIS ONE would be a goody for singing to P-Vine. I like it a bunch, if that counts for anything.:-)
