Life "thumb twiddling" sentence
Hello, Gang:
I haven't been on here in some time. Just a "howdy" and well wishes to all of you. Due to "Father time", health issues, aches and pains and closer to VA health and medical access for both wife and I, we called it quits at the "Home farm in Oklahoma and moved to s/w Mo. We're city dwellers now, so wife made me leave the cow-dog, '46 V-12 powered chev pu, other valuable possessions behind locked in the shop. The place is well watched and cared for by a young neighbor man and family who rented all the grazing land. Not much excitement happens here on 4 blank walls and "Little house on the prairie". So just getting computer hooked up, and enjoyed the afternoon catching up with ya'll. If any of you are passing through Anderson, Mo, give a howdy and stop-by. Marvin Taylor, alias----Cayoterun |

Howdy!
One of my grandmothers was from SW Misery. It was a big mining area then. My late dad, who I didn't know back then, had a Chevy dealership in NW corner of TX panhandle ;) (right down the road from you, actually) |
Re: Life "thumb twiddling" sentence
We have a son and wife who lives in the big city of "Pony", Montana. He's a mechanic for company who has a string of forest fire fighting airplanes in a town near there.

Re: Life "thumb twiddling" sentence
Hey Kent, glad to hear from you. Gosh, did I remember your name right? Odds are 91.9:8.1 on that! :lol: I hope you can get out and run Cow-dog time to time. That truck was an epic project carried out here. Most people didn't even know GMC built V12s back then

Re: Life "thumb twiddling" sentence

Re: Life "thumb twiddling" sentence
Glad you're here! Been through Anderson a few times, headed to Noel for float trips.

We looked in Noel for a house on the river, but no luck, so bought this in Anderson with a nice back yard creek that dumps in the Elk not far from here. Everything has sure changed since then, tho. The only thing I don't like is "all these darn trees"------Can't see a darn thing after being in the Okie Panhandle all those years!!! grin |
Re: Life "thumb twiddling" sentence
Thanks for the offer! We've pretty much quit floating- after the last time when we saw more cops on the river than we saw on the road getting there, to include ghillie suits hiding in the bushes and helicopters! Bought a boat-I'll holler and wave on the way to Beaver!

Roger, the cowdog has adopted a new mini-human to protect, wrestle with, and SLEEP with. Our son and family is keeping him for us. They have a 3 yr. old daughter who Roger has adopted. David says they are never apart. As possessive as Heelers are, I would feel sorry for anyone who he thought would harm her. They still have part of the old farm, and out in the country, so he can run to his heart content, and look after Miss Nora Beth, so I guess he's no longer mine. I'm glad. |

If you lived in/near Guymon for a long time, I bet you either knew or knew of my biological father (or my half sister and her late husband and their son who ran the dealership later) down the road a ways across the Texas line. |

They actually bought the Chevy dealership in Guymon IIRC, and then it got yanked away from them in 2009 even though it was new ownership and being upgraded. Also the one in Clayton NM. |

I'm glad I didn't now. I don't know if I did/said something wrong but some of the family got a burr under their saddle about me after a while. Maybe they thought I was some sort of gold digger but it was my dad that tracked me down and called me after 40+ years. And I didn't see any reason to be bitter after all that time. There's always two sides to a story. But I wish them all well. When I was down there in 2008, my "retired" dad and I ran errands for the business. Among other things we took a brand new Silverado down to the huge Chevy dealer on the west side of Amarillo and exchanged it for one of a different color, that their customer wanted. Fun times :) |

[QUOTE=1976gmc20;8881845]We're over near the middle of the state, not in any town at all.
About 16 miles to the nearest gas station and a little farther to the PO. That's all there is there besides a bar.[/QUOTE Sounds like you described Pony. Wife and I volunteered as camp host at Bannack, an old mining town and Montana got it, made a state park, and try to keep it as original as possible. Interesting place to visit, read all the history, and things that took place there back in it's heyday. We really enjoyed our 30 days there, and could run over to Pony to visit son and wife on our days off. |

That was our last camping trip because living out here on our place in the pineywood hills there just isn't much incentive to go anywhere. The little trailer has gotten all beat to heck in the hail storms but now we have a pickup and canopy and hope to take a few camping and sightseeing trips just the two of us. |
Re: Life "thumb twiddling" sentence
I wondered what happened to you. The Wood family has the Chevrolet and Toyota dealership here and the Ford Chrysler dealership at Jane Missouri. My dad was a patient at the Fayetteville VA for years .
Welcome back. |
