Well, I'm not busy either.

Here's a little-known fact!!!!

Back about '49 or '50 my grandpa Taylor had a Longhorn calf named 9Ball that was born with an extreme dog phobia.
The first time he saw Pa's old cur dog he jumped up in the 2 horse wagon and refused to come down. So we just bottle fed him and left him in the wagon. He grew quickly and so did the pile of manure in the wagon. We noticed that any time he saw a dog he would immediately go into a fit of pawing and kicking and throwing manure all over the place. THUS, THE IDEA FOR THE FIRST MANURE SPREADER WAS BORN RIGHT HERE IN SHADY GROVE, KY.
We built a box on the front of the wagon for the cur dog and when the wagon got full of manure we would drive out to the field, open the box to let 9Ball see the dog and he would scatter all the manure.
Now, we soon noticed that 9Balls' reaction was also related to the size of the dog. The bigger the dog the the more reaction. So we built another box with 3 compartments for a small, medium and large size dog. THUS, THE FIRST VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE!!! Depending on how much we wanted to spread we would just expose the proper size dog. That worked great until once Pa ran over a big rock, turned the box over and when 9Ball saw all 3 dogs we spread manure over 10 acres for the neighbor.
We were planning to get patents for all this but our neighbor's illegetimate son-in-law named J. I. Case saw our operation and and stole our patent. All we had left was a crazy Longhorn and 3 mangy dogs. While I was present and did suggest a few refinements, I wish to take no credit for the end product.

Gerald, If you ever think about relocating you might think of northern Vermont where it's a badge of honor to be able to tell a whopper and even get upset when some flat-lander didn't quite believe it. Such as, last night it got so cold all my log chains crawled under the porch to stay warm or I'll bet I've shot the very smallest 6 point buck ever killed. Skinned and dressed, I froze the whole carcass in an ice cube tray. And up there it goes on for years.

David, I heard about how you guys ice fish in Vermont on the frozen lakes. I went up there to try it but by the time I got that hole cut big enough to put the boat in I was too tired to fish!!!!

One summer evening back in 1967 I was catfishing on the back waters of the Bogue Chitto River in Honey Island Swamp. I was using dead shrimp as I usually caught a good mess of channel cats in this one logoon looking oxbow of the river.

I baited my line and made a good cast at the base of a fallen log that proturded into the river where the cats used as an ambush for bait coming around the submerged log. I felt the usual 'thump' on my line, I gave slack and pointed my rod at the line now moving towards the fallen log and set the hook hard.

I thought this was a monster fish as my pole was bent over almost double and the drag was singing off my line. Then the fish came to the top of the water but it looked like it was cover in moss or something. As I struggled to get it closer to the boat, the fish looked like it was covered in hair, I thought I fowl hooked a beaver or otter or something. It was weired looking and kind of boogered me a little. Anyway when this thing saw the boat it took off popping my line and it made a wake just under the water until it reached the far bank. It was dust dark by now and that thing climbed out of the water, ran down the bank for probably 50 yards, climbed the tallest cypress tree in Honey Island Swamp, looked around for a moment and then flew away!

To this day I have no clue what that thing was and I have been very reluctant to tell anyone!

It still haunts me today!!

Here's a little true story that I thought was pretty funny.

When I was a kid my Dad ran an old country store. It was built on the side of a hill and the underneath was kind of a basement that we used to keep chickens that we bought and sold.
The old farmers would sit around the pot bellied stove and swap knives and lies all winter. Some of these old men teased and picked on me by thumping my ears, pinching, rubbing my head and generally making life miserable for me when I was little.
When I got about 16 I decided it was payback time. One day my dad left me in charge while he went to the feed mill. Jack Boyd ,who was one of the men who picked on me most came in, got his nickel Pepsi and went to sit in an old cane bottom chair on the front porch. He was about 65 at the time. I had been practicing calf roping so I went out the back door, got my calf rope, slipped around behind old Jack, roped and got him tied to that chair before he knew what happened. I then drug old Jack kicking and cussing chair and all down , put him in with about a hundred chickens and locked the door. Wasn't long before he got untied and he banged on that door and called me every bad name he ever knew. I left him there about 4 hours. A couple customers came in and could hear him raising hell down there but I just told them Jack was trying to catch some chickens for supper. My dad finally came home and let him out and Jack tried to get dad to whip me but dad thought it was pretty funny. When the word got around everyone laughed and called him Chicken jack and he never messed with me again.

lots of knowledge and other info passed around in them old country stores.we had a teen age kid in my home town that pulled a chain around everwhere he went. the kid was slow witted and the old guys teased him unmercifully. One particular guy was worse than all the rest. on this particular day he hollered at the boy and asked---why do you drag that chain around behind you all the time. The kid replied sincerely---Mr. have you ever tried to push one of these things?? teasing dropped off sharply behind that....

Until 1985 I lived about all my life in the Salem, NY area right on the Vermont border, one day I was doing some plumbing for my sister in town. When I was leaving I noticed a friend out in his driveway so I stopped over. East High St turns right across from my sisters and Ken's drive was off that little street. Ken noticed this older gent coming up over the hill and asked me if I had met Smokey yet, nope, Ken said he'd get him started but don't dare let on you don't believe him. Turns out Smokey was a tad older then I first thought, 147 years old. had to be to hold as many jobs as he did.
When he came in the drive Ken said Smokey used to work in a quarry and said somthing like , dangerous work huh Smokey and he was off. Yep, one day when I was head dynamite man I was carring blasting caps accross the yard when this knothead went by and talked on his CB, those caps exploded right in my hand, blew every bit of flesh right off. My helper was an older indian man from Maine, He ran to the trunk of his car and pulled out a can of bear grease and just swathed that hand with bear grease. He extended his hand palm up and said look here, not even a scar.
After Smokey walked back down over the hill I told Ken that really suprised me, I expected a story no one would believe. By the way the dear carcass in a icecube tray was just part of a Smokey story. Maybe later, I'm sure Charles will raise me five.
