LUMPY

Just got around to reading your reply about the blonde---well that is very flatterin an all, but I'm afraid she would be very disapointed, and I would be very embar---eeeeset!

For the record, the older I get, the better I used to be!

Ha!Ha! Ha! I figured I would get a response outta ya! Any relation to Marlowe? I see he is having a plow day also.
Any persuasion on "the blade"?

There are two of the folks have the same name, the one with my last name is my cousin. That is why I gave him alot of crap about being picked on in school etc. He did figure out who I was. Sure I could have just told him, but that is not my style.

The blade is on hold yet, the guy that I purchased it from was buried yesterday. A wonderful man, but had a down fall that killed him. The self suicide by drink method. All his friends at the slop house helped kill him, instead of trying to help him. He was never right since he got out of the service.

We had the county fire mans meeting this eve, and we got the low down on the home labs, (meth) and what to do and not do. Just makes ya wonder what you are walking into anymore.

Our county name made it to Jay Leno one evening, as the highest number of meth labs in the US with the least number of convictions. Our county attorney was a grade ahead of me in school, not the sharpest tool in the shed. Troubles is he does nothing to punish them.

Did you hear that in Iowa you can marry your cousin now? I guess the only thing different now is your cousin can be of the same s--e--x.

I know a state trooper up north, near blondies home town, got to know him pretty well and he got to talking about those meth labs. He is involved with locating them and the hazards that you encounter when you go in for a raid. All I can say is be R-E-A-L careful Dave!

About five years ago a friend that got divorced same time as me got hooked up with the wrong gal. She was into making the stuff, he called almost every evening to chat, but not one of us would have guessed anything was up. He was always a swell guy, nice to visit with etc.

He was always a slow thinking, slow motion type of guy, but very talented with a welder and repair work etc.

After getting caught making the stuff the third time, he got ten years in the big house, no probation.

I will not pass judgment on him as he worked his rear end off to pay for attorneys, court costs etc. He was awarded custody of his daughter, then his ex took him to court six times in three years. She lost every round, so she fell in love with him again--well enough to talk him into letting the daughter move in with her till he got the heard of cows sold off so he could move in with the ex. She had a very high paying job so he would not need a job right away after he move in with the ex wife.

Slam the door in his face, and took him to court in her home town. The daughters therapist was the judges wife. All the profesional doctors (and witnesses) worked in the same unit as his ex-wife. She took everything, So with no money, no job, no daughter, and legal fees / attorney fees that were more than two years worth of milk checks--(gross income that is) he lost the farm.

Now here comes this cute young gall that knows how to make alot of money--$7,000.00 in a few hrs. She got fifteen years, and her daughter is raised by her aunt and unckle.

So is he a bad guy? or just down and out? Sad all the way, but he did it to himself, knowing right from wrongs.
