Settin in my puter room so tired my old eyes are droopin a mite-I can hear Mr. hootowl hollerin his dumb old head off right outside the window. He's settin in a tree in the fencerow and "talkin" to his buddy across the dead'n. It's almost 10pm and dark as the ace of spades outside. A cool, crisp night outside after a day of drizzle and a cold southwest wind.

Went to ole jeeps house today to pick'm up and go with me. Griz was blunderin around--his old head held down, Old Jake bellerin wantin fed and the remaining hog soundin like a chainsaw --missin his buddy that met the butcherin block first part of the week. I didn't get to feed ole Jake-I'm not permitted to do that anymore. Onliest thing old jake don't know that!!! Reason being--I was feedin the old dude everytime I went over and feed'n him way too much of that high powered high priced feed. He ended up gettin the belly ache over it so I quit just before bein asked to quit!

Watched ole jeep saw some "pig lumber" for a neighbor. All of it is water oak and sawn into 2X6's and 2X4's and 16 feet long! Wet as a washrag and heavy as a dead Baptist preacher. [Can't say "heavy as a dead Priest" but I CAN say Baptist preacher cuz I'uz a Baptist.] Pig lumber is lumber used for hog gates, hog panels and other "thingys" used in hog operations.

How is this time of year in your neck of the woods besides bein cold? Are ya'll ready for winter? Have ya'll checked out ya'lls furnaces, gas heaters etc? Don't put it off any longer. Make sure they are burnin correctly and without a lazy yellow flame. The MOST important thing to remember----CARBON MONOXIDE alarms. Make absolute sure they are workin properly.

Folks--Jesus Christ is WHO He says He is! He has already done what He said He'd do. All ya'l gotta do is just believe and accept it.

Old hoot. Matt.24:44
