Well! It's Monday evening and this old man is "tard". I don't know if the days are gett'n longer or I'm gett'n older! Seems when it warms up a tad I get the spring feever and kinda grow weary. Lil Dumplin wasn't here today so---I rested this afternoon! She's a good ole gal and wouldn't say anythang bout me lay'n down fer a spell. Guess she figgers if'n this old dude is rest'n she's not hav'n to put up with me. I most certainly don't wanna lay down and rest around old jeep! He's always got that tape measure with'm!

Got our website up a little bit more. Still wait'n for my nephew to post the radio pictures but he finally got the coffin pictures up this evening. Check out ole Jeeps workmanship! www.countryboyenterprises.com is the addy. Guess a coffin would be kinda nice stand'n on end with the door hinged and a refrigerator inside full of Iced TEA!

Dale Earnhardt will be missed by most everybody. The family has my prayers.

My ISP is considering installing a new high speed connection thingy. Cost will be about $100 to $170 to hook up and from $40 to $45 per month. Dont know if its wireless or jsut what. I'm presently having all kinds of problems getting on from about 7pm till 10pm. Busy signals. Time they fixed what theyre charging us for before I find another ISP. I think they call it "theft of services" if we would do the same thing to them!

Everybody have a good evening and be nice to your neighbors. It doesn't cost a cent and you'll feel better in the process. Old hoot-the radio [NOT COFFIN] builder! Matt.24:44

Glad you're back! Missed ya. There comes a time to use that old rocker on the front porch and evening is usually one of them. Love sitin' and rockin' - talking to my Lord while looking at His handiwork in the night sky! Some of these cool evenings the sky's so clear, I'm sure I'm seeing zillions of twinklers. Makes me ponder to think my grandfolks and theirs before them and so on, probably did this very same thing. And as I think of all those stars, a thought comes that I am one of zillions of His children, as you are too. We sure have lots to be thandful for, don't we Hoot?

Lil Dumplin is nicer than I am ...lol.... I make mine get up and work! You mentioning Dale Earnhardt got me to thinking about something that happened earlier today. An acquaintance of mine on AOL instant messenger saw that I was online and said hello. When I asked her what she was up to she said she was busy trying to find out what the most she could get for a Dale Earnhardt collectible knife is....figured she could get a premium for it if she sold it quick enough. I mentioned that maybe this was a bad time to be selling something like that. She said this was the best time. I'm quite sure I offended her when I told her I thought it was in very poor taste. Kind of saddens me that folks just look at profit and not what is right and moral.

You might want to take that nap with one eye open...never know when Jeep might sneak up on you with a tape measure :o).

Beautiful coffins!! I mean it!! I want one to keep my "iced tea" in on the front porch, right next to the couch out there. (Hey! It's a nice couch! All fake-leather and no rips or stuffing coming out. The cushions even match and are original. Only the best for us!)

Can't wait to see pics of your radios ~ they sound like something else I need to set right next to the coffin.
