Rather B.Blown

Heavy equipment scares the crap out of me. A family friend of ours (an old friend of my dad) owned several successful auto related businesses, everyone knew him. He was clearing some land and his 3 year old grandson was staying with them. He slipped out of the house without his grandma knowing and went down to see what his papaw was doing.

He was running a big dozer (like a D8 Cat) and never saw the boy. Backed over him with the tracks.

He was never right in the head again, messed him up so bad that he sold every business and everything he owned and started a foundation/scholarship fund for kids in the boy's name. Basically went into hiding for years, nobody even saw him out in public, my dad couldn't even get a hold of him for about 5 years.

this jewel is currently available on evil bay .. you know it`s priceless .. it`s a 302 with 3 speed manual .. bid is up to a whopping 750 bucks .. for 750 bucks to me it would have to be a BOSS something or at minimum an R code ....

now we`re talking .. a 428 4 speed ... you know it`s bound to happen .. why not just buy this pos and put the vin on my car .. currently at 3500 bucks ....

let me get my disclaimer out of the way first .. i have no problem with people of the Pentecostal faith .. some of my mothers family are such people ( Hyatts ) .. they dont drink ,cuss or smoke any less or more than us Baptists ,,, anywho i know some other people ( Holmans ) who are aslo predominantly Holiness .. iv`e been seeing a young girl at my fav grocery for several years and determined that she was of the Holiness faith by her wearing full length dresses and her hair always being in a bee hive .. somewhat friendly but yet a bit defensive ..this morning as she is ringing up my favorite beverage i ask her " are you a Hyatt or a Holman ? she replies " i`m neither " . " i`m a Herford " but she said she knows the Hyatts and the Holmans ... HMMN ... Hyatt , Holman, Herford ,Holiness,, a lot of H`s there . perhaps a prerequisite ( big word ) of religion is that you follow a faith that includes the first letter of you name ... Moon .... i should have been a Methodist ... yeah i know .. pretty lame ,, i`m bored out of my mind ..

it freaks me out to no end to see those glowing lites in cemeteries at nite ..yes i do have family and friends in plenty of them but i aint lightening them up .. same as with an old friend who died a couple of years ago .. he was my bus driver when i attended grade school .. he lived about a 1/4 mile up the road .. his porch lite and living room lite are still on every nite .. the house is empty .. can you see my hair standing on ends ? ...

after being out of work for 6 months now i`m getting really bored .. in my job search i have found an assembly job at a local hardware store that i will inquire about .. putting together wheelbarrows and barbecue grills and another job at a Hot Rod shop near me .. i had never known the Hot Rod shop was around ..they are asking for a person who can attach body panels / fabricate piece parts / prep and do body work for final finish / do all mechanicals associated with restoration ... must have two years experience ... two years ... i have been building cars for 40 years and i dont think i could get a job there

the stang is retired for winter but the pinto will still make a cruise lap now and then .. just went on a small round trip and on the way some kids standing out in a yard came running out to the road jumping up and down waving a sign .. i slowed way down to see the sign and it said " PECANS" .. but i knew i only had three bucks in my pocket so i did not stop . Later in the lap i got to feeling a bit bad about not stopping so i decided on my way back home i would stop and if i could not buy any pecans i would just give them the three bucks i had anyway ...so i stop and as i roll down my window a pit bull puppy comes running up to my car .. i hear a woman holler " Willie "" STOP " ... i says OK !! ... turns out it was the name of her pit bull dog .. i tell her it was also my name .. HA !! anyway turns out the pecans are 3 bucks a pound .. everyone is happy as i drive away .. now i`m broke but my birds will eat good next week ..
