Big brother and his very pregnant wife are coming down Friday night. We're heading west Saturday morning. At least as far as I know.

Got a lot of work done on the house. The well house looks brand new. And that's a good thing. We put in some long days working on it. The new preacher next door brought us a watermelon. That was awful...

watermelon beats a casserole any day....
and i am stealing the black cat on the burn pile for sure....


I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

Yep. My dad and I are going to a big screenwriting expo in LA this October. My nephew's gonna hatch in the middle of that month. Then we're flying our asses to California to sit in on some seminars and what not. Then we can pitch our ideas to actual producers and studio turds. We want to finish the boston pig before we make the...

I just bushwhacked a trail back to the barn. Looking for some tin to fix the smokehouse. We're gonna need some napalm or agent orange to tame that jungle back there. Tons of skeeters and spiders and ants. And lots of scrub trees and thorn bushes. We've got some blackberry bushes back there someplace. Anyway. I gotta get back to work. We don't have a...

Not such a busy day today. Bought a power sprayer the other day at Wal-Pig. Painted the well house in about two hours. Uncle Dexter and I grilled out for supper. I walked around the yard and picked up some walnuts. I like the smell. If I'm here this winter I'm gonna harvest them. We've got four huge walnut trees and four under twenty years...

Got a lot done today. Extended our big silver ladder as far as it could. Yep. Leaned it against our mama pecan. Then I baby-stepped my sweaty ass up there to attempt a limb amputation. It didn't work. So we did the only thing two rednecks could do. Get a rope. Get the truck. Pull the sucker down. It worked. We drug it out into...

An interesting read, and I'd be interested in seeing some pics of the homestead rather than all of those crazy ones you keep putting in the blog comments, hehe.

glad to hear the truck, the redneck's inheritance, was damaged in the de-frocking...
the tales of the clan brings a certain movie starring a certain actor to mind....

Busy day today. Been working on the house with my uncle from the homeland down in Mississippi. We're doing several small projects and one big one. We've gotta rebuild and beautify our old brokedick well house. This morning nature gave us another BIG project. One of the limbs on our mama pecan came crashing down. It tore a limb off of one of our baby...

Sounds like that's a heck of a place you've got there. There was an oak in a field about 5 miles from the house I grew up in that I always called my favorite tree. The bastards cut it down last year. Seemingly for no reason too, as it's still just laying there.

Another wasted day. Hey, it's what I do best. Talked to the old man for over an hour today. We brainstormed on the boston pig. I'm never gonna do another drama again. I swear. I've gotta overhaul a big chunk of it. We came up with some good ideas and now I'm not exactly sure where I want the story to go anymore. I reckon...

Had a small problem with our e-lectricity today. We had to drive all the way to Fayettpig to talk to the utility turds. I had to drag my ass up there 'cause I speak redneck more fluently than little bro does. They came by the hoose and cut a few small limbs off our big mama pecan. I reckon they were touching the power lines....

Frank Sinatra would indeed be a great name for a band.

And sorry to keep torturing you, but at least this time I didn't post any pictures of the wang-dang-doodle.

Hehe, well if I get mistaken for Bob Dylan, I guess I can't complain. Last year for Halloween I went as a generic sort of Rockabilly guy, and everyone kept thinking I was supposed to be Hunter S. Thompson.

We got home Saturday at a little after four in the morning. Little bro just now hooked up the internet to my room upstairs. He's still addicted to warcraft. He spends every free moment on that game. Maybe that's why the yard looked like shit when we got here. It hadn't been mowed since the fourth of July. What the fuck, over. Oh well. It's...

We're southbound on Thursday. Bro's wife is making a snack list for the trip. I turned down Barqs once again. Then I curled up and wept. She is gonna get some Moon Pies. Then all I need are some Goo Goo Clusters and a Sundrop to feel right at home. Or an RC Cola. It's late so I'm a little hungry right now. I'd even...
