thanks Bunky

     You're in luck , I will try to show you a glimpse of my day in Chester.  We recieved about 3 inches of wet snow last night and today so I took the opportunity to go into Chester for a few parts and supplies. After having good luck finding most of what we needed I decided to stop at the Grand Bar for a cold Beer, and to participate in the local dialogue.The Pan game was a buzz , there were 7 players , with room for one more, Bill was a regular but said I think I'll visit at the bar with Blackjack. That pleased me, Bill is a retired farmer , at age 87 who has lived an interesting life to date, he ordered a whiskey and water, which was placed before him as he finished saying water. Placed by the Tender named Larry Lapke, also known as Lap Dance Lapke, He is a Homosexual. And a fine Bartender. Over my shoulder I noticed an eclipse of the sun caused by BD Wickum. Short for Big Dumb Wickum, aptly named for both. The conversation was halted at first but started flowing nicely when Larry asked me of the Wolf kill on our place. So for the next 45 minutes I had them eating out of my hands ,there was oohs and ahhs and when Eldon staggered in, the story was ending, but he pleaded with me "Blackjack Sir may I please have another " So I  loaded up the old story machine and let her go. I did take a break to let Bill tell how he built ships in Vancouver WA in the early 40's as a welder . He told about welding off the side of the ships hanging by a rope for hours on end. Then Bunky and Deadbeat  Duane waltzed up to the bar and slurred "Watts Dis aboot a Wolfe." I was THE MAN, but alas it was time to go Two Beers and time to go. As I was leaving town I thought " Hey Stud why don't you buy your lovely wife a dozen roses for her birthday". So stopped in and the florist said it will be about a half an hour, ......Back to the Grand.  Walked in and the chorus of "Hey it's the wolf hunter",        I said I prefer "Wolf Killer thank you"  Hillarious had them all laughing , even Terry the 65 year old dude who washes clothes at the nursing home and he doesn't laugh much. Larry said" how about another on the house Blackjack" That was met with a chorus of cheers from an ever increasing throng of admirers. Jack Jake came up to me and uttered " Wellll yuuuyu  aarrrrer  a ggreeeatt aammmerrriiiicann Blaaaaccckkjjaack,'  then he started to sound like a farret in heat. So I thanked him and returned to my Peeps  .Just as I downed my last gulp of Bud Light number three.  and finished my epic storry of the 48 hours in Baab Mt , I was compelled to look at Bunky, which is ussually not something one would do, and noticed he wasn'tlaughing and his right eyebrow was raised, a telltale sign that my time was up. Time to leave, One must know when to say when, and if one doesn't, then pray you have a sleepy eyed Bunky around. One More thing like The Red Cross says "Give till it Hurts"..........that's what she said.......sorry
