They never came to El Paso but when they reformed as Bachman Turner Overdrive I got to see them in 74 or 75
Being from their hometown I’ve met them all and have some stories. Nothing like getting a 1am phone call saying Burton is out of beer. If you pick up a case you can come drink some. Nothing like watching the sun rise as Burton pounds the keys on his living room.

Had a pretty good day and now settled in watching some football. We’re on the road against our arch rivals, up a couple TD’s at the half feels pretty good.

Have had some high winds and changing water flows; looks at the dock yesterday and the boat looked like it was trying to make a run for it. Thankfully the dock lines were still holding but had come undone. They are on a spring loaded recoil under the floor of the boat and one had let loose. Took a couple floor panels off and figured out how to repair it and saved myself a couple hours of shop rates.

Once all back together and took a nice cruise around the creeks before supper.

People's always been land crazy
Like before my time there was a well liked man by the name of lawn huffman that was his actual name
He had a farm and a small grocery store on a ridge where i grew up.
Lidge Coleman i guess elija?
Wanted some absolutely worthless property in a small hollow next to his land.
Huffman wasn't willing to sell so lidge paid a man 25.00 to shoot Huffman in the chest and kill him the shooter died in jail I'm told
And the Coleman's were never allowed to buy that piece of land the boggess family did from the widow.
Later on i met and was friends with sebert Huffman lawn's son he'd left here went and joined the Marines and fought in Korea and Vietnam
He moved back here to the family land and lived the rest of his life out here.
One of my wife's uncles killed his brother over a block of salt.
What did I miss? Hope everything is ok
Eyelid surgery.

My late friend was a surveyor for Cabot gas in the 60s/70s/80s
Back then you were on foot walking very remotely in the hills here
He was only about 5'5 100lbs he carried a .357 in the company truck but there was no
Holsters suitable to carry on him
So he had a old m6 bayonet he'd keep down his left leg inside his pants.
It saved him several times from insane people screaming and threatening him out in the woods over property line's.
One time a guy pulled a long barreled shotgun on him he was able to grab the barrel put it through his armpit and pulled that bayonet and had it against the guy's throat in one motion
He got himself a free shotgun that day
The next day he was a meter tender from then on.
