Morning Miles. So, when did you decide to switch to a Silverado???

 

silverado???

 

we don't need no stinking SILVERADOS. (in best rock ridge accent).

 

Good morning out there every one. It is a splended March 32 as duly noted in my last post on the March B\S site. LOL!

Tammie I' am sorry to hear of your young boy getting hurt. It seems they can get bunged up so quickly with some of the stunts they do. My youngest has broken his big toe before running through the house(which he was not supposed to do)kicking the fridge on the way through by accident, also had his shoulder put out when wrestling with another in school, and last but not least almost broke his thumb this year when he was again wrestling with another boy and would not open his hand...............the other boy opened it none the less.............a trip to see the the doc and Wallmart to get a brace that he had to wear for a while. He hated that bad but hoped it allowed a little time for thinking before reacting.

Don't worry none Pat, I' am sure before yours turn 18 they will most likely add a few grey hairs to your head(the one's you don't pull out that is from frustration). After three of my own I' am no longer surprised,..........just dismazed.

They are better off than when I was young where there was no real medical care. Had something been broken badly such as a leg or arm that needed reset I think our neighbors would have helped had dad not been here unwise you were pretty much on your own. I have broken both my big toes, little finger, a couple of lower ribs, cracked a collar bone,lower right leg, and got puntured in the back from being knocked into a broken tree limb by a cow before I was 18. All of which I dealt with as best as possible on my own but what I can remember mom did help with the punture wound (I could not hide the blood) but still have a nasty scar to this day.

I have only been to the doc a few times in my life, once to be born the rest I have done my self.

On another note (thank goodness I' am sure) this weather here today is playing cat and mouse with me or April Fool. I need to go to Cheyenne to work today but there was at least a little bit ago 90% chance of snow today and has been snowing on and off here all morning with fog setting in. I' am loaded and ready to go but don't feel like staying in Cheyenne tonight.

 

Well, it's already changed back, but one of our illustrious admins (my money is on Adrian!) did something with the software that changed every wording of F-150,-250, and -350 to Silverado in everyones signatures. So, I had 06 silverado, 97Silverado, and 67 silverado in my sig!

Yours said 79 Silverado! But it must have changed back at 12:00pm eastern.

 

Morning/Afternoon Orin. The grey in my beard is directly from my wife and kids!!

 

Understood completely!

 

It looks as if we're on the upslide of the weather rollercoaster for a day or so. Should be decent til the weekend,when the temp will go down, and we'll get either rain or snow.

 

Well I think I will give it a try for Cheyenne this afternoon as I still have time to complete my tasks. Just looks like a crummy day here but hope it will slack up by tomorrow after noon as I plan to go to the Denver Auto Show. Should be fun.

Had I been thinking a little more I would have spared all my grizzly details of my youth as I had a memory trigger when reading about Tammie's boy getting hurt. I have to stop and think once in a while that even though unintentional I get into the habit for thinking only about me at times and need to refrain from such. I would most certainly not reccomend my life style either present or past and have been careful to at least be sypathetic enough not to allow my own to endure the things that I have. I fear that sypathy is not one of my stronger points and more than likely never will.

 

Orin, I happen to enjoy your tales of youth!

 

AGREED!!! I always enjoy listening to tales of the 'olden days'

luv ya, Orin....{{{{{hugs}}}}}

PS....I miss our chats~~~

 

Sharing is the best part of this forum Orin.

Heck post away, its good reading.

 

I totally missed that one Pat. Missed all the Fools Day Fun.

 

The real funny part was the guys who went ballistic pissed! Man, some people just need to lighten up!

 

ok, dont laugh....but what's that??
