CRISPINS CRITTERS

[AU24K]

Friday, my locksmith Friend and I went to the salvage yard to make a couple of car keys where my Harley is.
We went to the area and I looked all over....
I can't find it.
Maybe they moved it.....

I ask a worker, "Where did y'all put that Harley?"
He said, "Oh, Greg sold it to one of his Friends."

At hearing those words, I wanted to cry...
As I type these words, I still want to cry....

But,

Perhaps I was saved a "James Dean" ending....

Sad,

Scott

Okay, Suzy Blue (my blue Suzuki) is at the car doctor. Sounds like brake caliper thingy won't let go of the roto drum thingy. Almost sounds like I'm dragging a sewing machine under the frame. I added a little brake fluid, didn't do it on the way there..... meh, she needs an oil change and whatever else they discover, probably.
Round-up time, little light dusting of weed killer before the rain, it'll dry, sink in. Laundry and housecleaning while it's raining. Cain't tekker in the rain. No car, just another tricky day...... ya'll's have funs!

I read "between the lines" most times....

Best,

Scott

DANG!
I see that RC beat me again!


"Good show, old Chap!"

Been a while since I checked in. Sincerest apologies to all...

None of you have ever been forgotten. Duty calls and life demands its toll...
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great
battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a
final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.



But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not
hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what
they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It
is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --
that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

"Of course, my Friend....
All educated American Patriots recognize your quote.
The future of this experiment in Democracy, called,
'The United States of America,' is under attack from within and without.

The blood shed thus for the idea of a perfect Nation, based upon the principles of all men, and women, being created equal in the eyes of the Lord, the right to Freedoms and the right to live in Peace is now being challenged."

I, as a Veteran, a Patriot of Liberty and a Wolf Pack Member, would have crossed that frozen river then with General Washington on that Christmas Day, late Tuesday night, Christmas Eve, and would still do so today!


Merry Christmas, my America!

May Everyone have a safe, Peaceful and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm heading to the mountains to seek my Peace!

Warmest Wishes,

Scott



Too much politics?

GOOD! Something to think about.....

 

[AU24K]

How 'bout some old Fleetwood Mac?

With Bob Welch?



Best,

Scott

Yeah.

I got this album....



You knew that, right?

 

[AU24K]

While in my mountains, I'll think of a sealed PVC tube, holding a treasure of coins, currency and other collectibles....

Buried not by one of the past but of one of the present and future....Me.

Clues?

Where?
Georgia?

More clues?

Perhaps a map?

For you to find....

If you know HOW to look.....

Best,

Scott


"We don't need no stinkin' map, Senor, we only need you!"

 

[AU24K]

"Well, Look, It's like this.
I'm gonna hide my poke every night, dig?
Trust has become a scarce commodity, Savvy?"

"Who's got first watch, huh?"



(Follow the clues....)
​

 

[AU24K]

Perhaps you should know that I call "Paha Sapa" my Mountains, also....

Clues....

Best,

Scott

Yeah....Definitely feel like traveling....

To places of familiarity or places anew?


"Where the cuisine is impeccable!"

 

[AU24K]

Look,

Here's the deal.

Soon, I will lay a nice Treasure Cache.....


Somewhere here in this County?
State....?
Country.....?

"I look up and see,
the moon's light filtered,
through the trees...."

(clues?)

Ah... Goodbye, Mom....14 years ago today....
Hope I make you proud yet today and every day that you have given me life........
I'll always love you...
Your only Son...

Scott



Sorry for the tears....


Some words and such....


Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

Oh yes, I will

"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

Baby, be a simple, really simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand



I still have the cassette tape of the funeral around here somewhere.
Have never played it....

I Prefer to live, nay FLY, above my fears; to live a dream only imagined!

All: thanks for caring.
Things secured and Dad is stable.
No surgery beyond exploratory happened or scheduled till after more tests.
A tired heart that shows a previous attack it seems , and a reduced valve flow in the aortic.
Not uncommon in old age.
Other conditions are being treated and he is gaining some relief.

Not my city anymore though....places I been before and now I'm driving in circles confused.
To think I survived living there a year before and drove it like it was nothing.
What could inspire such foolishness in a off road vagabond? Ahh yeaaah...I remember now.

A loss of intranet points and such for you because of words not posted.

Love ya, Brother!



I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Trying' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
I used her she used me, but neither one cared
We were getting our share

Workin' on our night moves
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on out night moves
And it was summertime
Sweet summertime, summertime

And oh, the wonder
Felt the lightning
Yeah, and we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far-off, I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

Hmm, night moves
(Night moves) night moves
(Night moves) yeah
(Night moves) night moves
(Night moves) I remember the night moves
(Night moves) ain't it funny how you remember?
(Night moves) funny how you remember
(Night moves) I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember
(Night moves) oh
(Night moves) move away
(Night moves) we're gonna practice, love
(Night moves) night moves
(Night moves) oh, I remember
(Night moves) yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember
(Night moves) oh, I remember
(Night moves) god, I remember
(Night moves) lord, I remember

Oh, woman, oh, yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I remember, I remember

Another clue? You decide.....


Lyrics can be so important to ones feelings....
A word, a phrase...a meaning.... in a song....

And, my Friends,

I provide that which has caused the loss of intranet points....

The words!

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you

Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame less heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will



Most interesting guy in the world.....


"Oh, Really?"




IT'S ON!!!


Scott vs Scott!

Place your bets! I got even odds....Everyone's a winner!

 

[Oregon Viking]

RC.
I hope everything that happens is good...no.... great!
I wish the best for you and your family.

ife is so strange when its changin', yes indeed
Well I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on workin' like the workin' man do
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets

Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I'm leavin' this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry 'cause I do not sing the blues

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh, put 'em back... where they belong

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around, 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh put 'em back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets
