COWBOY.
THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS.
I HAVE THIS TERRIBLE FEAR THAT I AM DOMINATING THE ML FORUM SPACE AND TIME.
WHAT YOU SAY TOUCHES ME BIG TIME.
THEE ARE ABOUT 6 OR 7 WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THAT SAME THOUGHTS AND THEY AL WRM MY HEART.
HOWEVER THERE AREELEVENTY THOUSAND SILENT LURKERS WHO DON'T SSAY SQWAT AND THE LORD ONLY KNOWS WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT ME OR MOST OF THE OTHER SUBJECTS THAT COME UP HERE. I MAY BE CAUSING THEM TO FALL AWAY BECAUSE THEE BABLING BROOK I HAVE BECOME.
THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT WILL PROBABLY LIMIT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LECTUREE SERIES. THE MOST EFFECTIVE STOPPAGE WILL OCCURR WHEN I CEASE TO EXIST AND THE OTHER IS THAT IF I DON'T CASH IN. MY VISION WILL PREVENT ME FROM SEEING MY GREAT YELLOW BOARD WITH THE JUMBO LETTERS PROBBLY WELL BEFORE THE FUNERAL CELEBRTION.
THOUGHTS POP ITO MY MIND FROM I KNOW NOT WHERE. THHIS AM I REMEMBERED A PORTBLE FIELD OMELET RECIPE THAT I LONG AGO THOUGHT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO BRIGHTEN THE CAMP CUISINE. I WILL PUT THAT RECIPE IN THE FORUM OR MY BLOG. RIGHHT MOW I'M EXHAUSTED FROM MY DIALYSIS ADVENTURE AND WILL PROBABLY SALVE WITH A NAP.
THANKS AGAIN
DUTCH
Speaking of Silent Lurkers
I bet every one of them has a good story to tell.
They don have to involve being partially eaten by a bear or vice cress. Just some interesting thing that happened to them or a stupid thing they saw someone else . I like the the very great stories about finding a long forgotten rifle or musket that is still in survivable condition and restored to use or jt as a a wall hanger that hangs over a fireplace.
Speaking of which has anyone on the forum visited the incorrectly named Daniel Boone home in Defiance. Missouri?
Defiance is about 5 buildings including a wee bar. The home was actually Boone's son's home and Daniel spent his final years there.
The question I have was the rifle hanging over the fireplace in the kitchen was a percussion model or a flintlock. I seem to remember it as a percussion but that was early days for me as well.
The other odd thing was Boone's bed which was about 4 and a half feet long with a lot of the supporting pad pushed up against the headboard.
"My God. I thought. Daniel deserverves more respect because we apparently was a dwarf or what we call today. a little person.
Having expressed my surprise I was told that people back in those days slept in a pretty much sitting up position. That also puzzles me as a lot of contemporary old time homes had more or less regular beds such as we are accustomed to today. Somebody check me on that last. What might be the case is that then as now people in their very later years are way more comfortable sleeping in a sitting up position to aid in breathing.
See that's a comment that may be of interest based on a 15 minute visit to a somewhat colorless site.
I would like to hear these stories about the bits and pieces that make up history.You probably are working under a Handle and that makes us sdsuffer in trying to hunt you down. Apparently you stood in class and the unapproachable maiden you adored remarked that yo were unzipped and you have been shy for all these following years.
When did Boone stop his famous activity and when did the percussion system become general. Enquiring minds want to know...
