Wm "Billy Dick" Richmond Holly
That, my friend, is tremendous! Don't do as I did tho, hit something hard and thought it was just hard pan clay so I put a little more "fuerza" into it for a couple more hits, then came the hissing and the rotten egg smell. Yep, I had broken a neighbor's natural gas line that he had laid himself and only put it about a foot deep. Sometimes living "country", folks don't follow safety rules, I think gas is supposed to be buried a "tad" deeper. :) I just shoved all the dirt back into the hole and called the gas company. Oh well, it worked out, didn't have another TGT incident.
I think I might get an auger for the tractor tho. Marvin & Lynn Lester & Karen Welch's husband, James Dodd have restored my dad's old tractor, really have done a great job on it. Polly calls it a "magic" tractor because I tell her I can get all the "honey do's" done with that tractor. )
Hope all is well up there. I just sent Bill Hyams a Happy Birthday message and saw his travel photos, sure makes us want to take off but different things keep interfering. I need to recoat and seal the roof of our travel trailer before taking it on the road again. Next year is our 50th and we plan to retrace our honeymoon from Natchitoches to Camp LeJeune, NC so it'll be ready by then.
Don Beasley stopped by a couple of days ago enroute to Natchitoches for a get together by old NHS athletes. Had a nice visit with him, still the same Don, easy going and friend with all.
Gotta run!
