CRISPINS CRITTERS

RC,
If you're not keen on lemon we manage to get cases of clementines for about $5.00 or so this time of year so fairly cheap given the volume you get probably 30 or so.

Had a sack/ box of " Halo's" for the holidays. Small oranges for all practical description.

My Friend just replied:

Friend, thank you for your generous offering of wisdom towards me, I am humbled by such compassion. The only thing certain I have found in all my wisdom is the extent of my own ignorance. Time has not answered questions but has posed more complex ones that seem to have no answers. Guidance truly is benificial in life's journey but knowledge of destination a necessity to which no one is sure, a special myself. Your words encourage and are insightful, thank you again my friend.


I then replied:

I often find myself telling the youth who look up to me for guidance, "You don't get to be old by being stupid." I then have to prove myself as being wise. Sometimes it is a challenge. But, I'm sure that we are up to the challenge. The future that you wish for is easily achieved when you apply what you have learned along life's road of hard lessons. Certainly we all have made mistakes along the way, but, we are here to impart the wisdom that we have learned to those who are just beginning the journey. And, in doing so, we shall live forever in their memory! My Best Wishes.

I feel as though I have helped.....

This is a Friend of my First Wife's Brother, whom I infected with the "Metal Detecting Bug" some 40 years ago....
I had a couple of beep sticks and I put one in his hand and we went out and found treasures!
He just replied....In support of my Friend.
Sometimes the interwebs are a great thing!

Scott ,your friend writes great. Writing of what one feels is not a bad thing when it reflects on the human condition.
His peers ,and those older will find some commonalities at times.
Aging is not all waking with a smile and sniffing flowers each morning/ day secure in the embrace of ones bliss. But is it really age related?

Good on you for your reply. One hand extended can change a perspective. Again, your caring for your fellow man can and will bear fruit.
Some ,even beyond your sight ,or time. With further effect on others beyond those to whom you extend a hand/ heart/ mind. ( Cliche claddaghish ,I know but that's what comes to mind at the moment.)
Maybe even from those you thought declined being reached towards.

Joke of the day—I finally realized my parents favored my twin brother.

It hit me when they asked me to blow up balloons for his surprise birthday party.

Do y'all remember the Treasure that I hid awhile back?
It hasn't been found yet and I've begun to explain the clues that I've given.

http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/au24k/501656-scotts-treasure-tube.html

Hopefully, someone will find the Treasure soon!

Best Wishes,

Scott

Hey 45th Johnny.
Another day!

Thanks, RC!

My favorite version....
As I frequently, late at night, step outside of my door and my own existence,
take a deep breath of life and think to myself, "Just what the hell is going on?"

Sometimes, we just have to stop and think about how life effects us....
Think about those we love, those whom have passed.
Think of those less fortunate, those who hunger and those who need.
Think of those who are fellow humans....



Best,

Scott

I'm always writing down lyrics and my thoughts, and I just came up with this:

"What is time but a thief.
What is love but only grief?"

"How can one ease the pain?
What is there yet to gain?"

Certainly, I'll write more lyrics and then the music...
I guess it's time to tune up the Takamine once again....
Wish I was trying my new music on a 12 string Ovation....

I'm still on the mend but just talked to my Landlord about shooting this coming weekend.
He said OK, but that he is going to be out of town racing.
I'll be looking after the girls.
I asked about borrowing his .45 wheel again and he said, "Sure."
He also said that I could borrow a .38 Colt wheel that was his Grandfather's. COOL!

I went to a pawn shop yesterday to pick up some miscellaneous sockets and such to add to my tools and saw a Taurus .357 that was reasonably priced....
Perhaps I'll pick it up in a few days.....

Hope all are well.

Best,

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Bear with me...
I'm trying to upload pictures on a borrowed laptop and I'm REALLY having trouble.

New tattoos....





These pictures suck. The tats are high quality.
Y'all know that I only expect the best.
I'll get better pics soon.

Tomorrow begins yet another new week; A new day!

A new opportunity awaits for you to show the wonders of life to others and provide help to those whom you can.

Life is not so much about how you may fare throughout your journey, but how you can help others on their journey.

Has not one shown you truth, knowledge and compassion?
You certainly remember that experience.
Share that compassion with another!

If, by chance, you have made a positive difference in another's life,
Humanity will smile upon you and say, "Well done."



My Best Wishes to All,

Scott

Once, several years ago, I was in a band and we were scheduled to perform on stage.
We were told that we could only play 2 cover songs and the rest were to be originals.

Well, I had 24 hours to write a song and I wrote, "Try To See It."
We later performed the song in a recording studio but I lost the master to a bad relationship....

Anyway, the beginning was,

"Try to see it the way that I do.
Walk a mile in my shoe."
Live the pain the way that I do.
I'm so glad that I'm not you."

HEAVY guitar lead....
Played it on stage and the crowd loved it.
At the "Bottleneck," in Lawrence, Kansas.

I've never played it again.....

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Perhaps y'all have never heard of "The Outhouse" in Lawrence, Kansas....
A now defunct punk rock venue....
Some wild times back then....
In a College town.
Alternative music was the norm and I fit in just fine.....

http://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/article178735891.html

I built the bar used there for my Friend, Donnie, who owned "The Outhouse."
I was there when he fired a pistol round through the roof....

I was also there when "new" bands played...

Scott











The music of my youth and the time of my life!

I still communicate with Donnie....

And, yes, I partied with the bands....

Folks,

Another tune for the pot.

Foo Fighters - Under Pressure.

Folks,

Another tune for the pot.

Foo Fighters - Under Pressure.

Few covers reach the pinnacle of this.
Thanks, Bill!
It was just on time!
I sometimes have pressures, with work and my volunteering.
Your post somehow gives me strength to forge onward, to help others.
This Tuesday, I will again be there for my fellow Vet during "Veterans Court."


I cannot thank you enough for the inspiration and determination to be the one who is there for my fellow Vet.

Scott,

Here's another pretty good version a bit more on the punk side of things.

 

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

Another nice version of Under Pressure by Train.
