Subject: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Bobert Date: 19 Mar 14 - 07:27 PM Just wanted to say "hey" to my many friends here... Yeah, I know... I don't come here too often these days... I've explained that before... No reason to go thru that stuff... Been a slobber-knocker of a winter but we're surviving it... The P-Vine had a breast reconstruction surgery 2 months and the recovery has been slow... My art class went extremely well and my students are conspiring to get me to do a 4 week "advanced drawing" course in June as all did very well and produced some real nice drawings... Oh, and I am working on a new painting... Gardening is on track... It's been real cold here in North Carolina but I've gotten the asparagus bed cleaned out and re-mulched... Have spinack and kale going, carrots planted and seeds started for tomatoes, peppers and eggplant... Music: The Charlotte library system has discovered me and looks like I'll be playing a "blues workshop" at every branch in the coming year... Lastly, for those who are familiar with the fact that I own an old hotel which I have been trying to sell, I have a buyer... Other than that, things remain about the same... Hey to all my friends... You know who you are... Bite me to the others... You know who you are... B~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: kendall Date: 19 Mar 14 - 08:02 PM Glad to hear from you. I don't come here very often either. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 19 Mar 14 - 08:50 PM I got me a partial knee reconstruction being done on March 26 -- a week from today. There are some really gory videos on Youtube if you search for them. Bobert, you get that P-vine back in good shape. Iffen you fly out I can get you to WA or CO for some herbal cure -- fly back from there so's you don't get picked up when you cross back into Idyho. Could even get you a gig, maybe. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Bobert Date: 19 Mar 14 - 09:08 PM Man, that knee sounds like no fun, Rap...

My youngin' and a friend are long (skate)boarding from Brevard to Wilmington and will be passing through Charlotte then Wingate in a few days. They are in Shelby or there abouts tonight in a motel, drying out gear from all the rain and ice. Might would appreciate an invitation to hang their hammocks in some woods where they are not in danger of getting arrested for bein' on private land:>) Great news to hear you have a buyer. And simply great to hear from you. J |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Crowhugger Date: 21 Mar 14 - 12:13 AM Great to hear from you Bobert! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Donuel Date: 21 Mar 14 - 12:02 PM Bobert, time and space unites all the folks of shared vision and understanding as this thread reveals. The theory of doing art Time distorts to the relative degree that you really get into it. {poof} there goes another 4 hours in a minute. Its a good feeling. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Amos Date: 21 Mar 14 - 12:28 PM Hey, Mister Bobert, good to see your typeface again. HoooRAH on gettin' a buyer for yer hotel. Tell P-Vine I said Southrons shouldn't mess with Reconstruction. It was invented in the Nawrh. Hundreds of love to you both. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: gnu Date: 21 Mar 14 - 02:45 PM "Gnuze... What I just said... I'll think on it... Might need your help..." Well, if there is one thing I DO know, it's good Art. Although he keeps teasing about how great the weather is in NM. And, don't forget Art Thieme eh?. There is a lot of great Art out there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: ChanteyLass Date: 21 Mar 14 - 08:52 PM Bobert? Bobert? Sounds familiar. Let me think. Oh, yes, Bobert. Now I remember that name. Sorry to be so late in greeting you. I've been busy, but it's all been good. I hope the P-Vine's recovery speeds up, I'm glad you got some gigs, good news about the hotel and gardening, and I'm glad your art classes are going well and your students want more. Now I have to stop and catch my breath! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 21 Mar 14 - 10:00 PM So having sold your hotel you're now a member of the proletariat again and not one of the iron-soled plutocrats grinding the worker and the artist under your heel. I always knew you were. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Ebbie Date: 21 Mar 14 - 10:31 PM Right. Right. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: GUEST Date: 22 Mar 14 - 02:59 PM Bobert, you may not be around here very often, (neither am I) but look how many people jump at the chance to see what's new with ol' Bobert when you do show up!! Great to hear from you, but even in your absence, you're never far from the hearts of so many of us! Love to you and the P-Vine! KT |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: GUEST,BrendanB Date: 22 Mar 14 - 04:03 PM I am just someone who has enjoyed everyone of your posts in the past and would love to meet you in person - sadly time and distance make that extremely unlikely, but please don't stop posting, you are a source of moral sustenance to me. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 22 Mar 14 - 05:01 PM I've not only met him but played with him -- him on geetar and me on duck call. Moral sustenance...hmmmmm....well, it IS Bobert we're talking about.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Bobert Date: 22 Mar 14 - 08:37 PM Oh geeze... Now I have to acknowledge the latest... C-lass... Thanks... Rap... Good news, bad news... Yes, I sold the hotel... I didn't make a dime... Might of fact, I think I lost about $200K... Eb... Huh??? KT... I love you... (Am I allowed to say that here???) BrendonB... Be nice to meet you, too... You know that little joint down on Providence across from the new Harris-Teeter??? Rap... That was a duck call??? Latest Bobert chapter: Yesterday I was burning leaves and caught about a 20 foot long portion of P-Vine's garden on fire... Opps... No sugar tonight... Or tomorrow night either... Bob |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 22 Mar 14 - 10:36 PM Prayers to the P-Vine and her surgery......I guess she's let you back into the house, so you snuck into the office to use the computer...make a deal with her...she'll let you use the computer, if she'll let you keep eating over the sink! Warmest Regards, Bobert... GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Janie Date: 23 Mar 14 - 07:14 AM Uh-oh. Maybe Jacqui will send Kendall to the cellar to keep you company? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 23 Mar 14 - 10:09 AM My feelings are hurt. We agreed to call it a duck call instead of my singing voice, remember? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: ragdall Date: 23 Mar 14 - 02:44 PM Good to see a post from you, Bobert! I miss you. Reading about your adventures always brings a smile. I'm glad that your life is being kind to you. Good thoughts for continued healing and happy with results for the P-Vine. I can't be here much either. It's very hard to get it to connect, most times I try, I have to give up. rags |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 23 Mar 14 - 03:45 PM Janie: "Uh-oh. Maybe Jacqui will send Kendall to the cellar to keep you company?" Maybe they have an extra large dinner sink there, too.... GfS |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Mar 14 - 12:04 AM I love hearing about your gardening, Bobert, and fire can help the soil, at times. Did you ever get the ol' tractor out of the creek or from under the tree that fell on it - or something along those lines - and are you putting in big beds later on? SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Bobert Date: 24 Mar 14 - 07:53 PM Hey, I'm not banned from the house... Wish I was... But no, I am the housekeeper and dish washer and cook and, and... I'm more worried that the P-Vine is going to lock me in the house... Michelle... I was thinking of you today... Magz... Gardens are fine... I might have burned up a few azaleas but we have lots more... B;~) GfinS... Thanks for them kind words... You smoking??? Be honest... ragdoll... Thanks... Stim... "the Dude abides"??? Gotta go... B;~) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 24 Mar 14 - 10:12 PM Wednesday, Bobert. Wednesday they're gonna cut my leg off or replace part of my knee or something. If they cut my leg off I'll be sure to get a hollowed-out peg leg so you can put strings on it and play it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Nigel Paterson Date: 25 Mar 14 - 08:53 AM Apologies, Bobert, I'm coming very late to your thread. Enjoyed reading your news & the ensuing comments. I'd forgotten you are an NC man. Our surviving daughter lives near Charlotte (Mecklenburg County). Ann will be flying out soon...can't afford for the both of us to travel, the air fare from the UK has gone through the roof. Musically, Nigel. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 25 Mar 14 - 09:55 AM Nigel, I understand that international airlines have a new class called "steerage." It's a little cramped and the amenities (like food and drink) are a bit sketchy, but you don't need seat belts or seats and sometimes the toilet pipes leak a little, but it IS a cheap way to travel. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: gnu Date: 25 Mar 14 - 06:36 PM Don't post often herein but I read at least once a day. Thanks. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: ChanteyLass Date: 25 Mar 14 - 07:47 PM Hey, Rapparee, let us know how that knee surgery goes! I wish you freedom from pain and a quick recovery! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Janie Date: 25 Mar 14 - 11:22 PM Hey Beaubear! That white hellebore is splendid just now and the azaleas and the rare box are doing a great job getting through another winter in pots. More hugs for P-Vine and you. Me and PeeWee are gettin' on well also. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Mar 14 - 02:53 PM My asparagus is producing and the potatoes are up through the mound now. Some things are going to wait because the soil is still too cool after the wretched winter we had. It got so cold here the toads froze solid - I have to be careful not to break the shovel or mattock if I hit one in the soil. :) SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: gnu Date: 26 Mar 14 - 03:23 PM The Frozen Toad... good name fer a pub. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Bobert Date: 26 Mar 14 - 09:23 PM Gol danged, ya'll... What the hell is going on up there, Rap??? Cut your leg off??? I thought it waz a knee replacement... No?? <3 over my head, WYSuzie... Can't be my IQ 'cause I'm half sure that it's on the plus side of 3... So, GfinS... Ya' smoking??? If so, get the flippin' patch or some gum... Nigel... We're 35 miles south east of Charlotte... Janie... Not much to brag about here... Star Magnolia in bloom??? One week and things will start to pop... Magz... I've got my fingers crossed on our asparagus... Voles did some damage last year... Hey', ya'll... I got the P-Vine out of the house today.. First time to do something other than doctors appointments... Took her to lunch at a nice joint we have found of late... Loaded double baked potato is a meal... $3.99... B~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Rapparee Date: 26 Mar 14 - 10:01 PM Well, Bobert, it was a knee or at least a partial one. I'm in a bed in the hospital doped up with good stuff. There are wires and a bunch of tubes stuck in me and attached to me. I've walked a very little bit and tomorrow physical therapy starts -- and I get to go home. I got another ball out of it, something called a "pain ball" that's filled with joy juice. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey from Bobertville... From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 14 - 01:05 AM Rapp is usually doped up in bed; he just got himself a change of venue is all. |
