Moanin this Moanin how ya'll are this moanin... already... Jeez.
Yepp slept on the box spring on the clean carpet lastnite... no dam air mattress... wish I could afford won dem old army cotts... ya know that fold up had one for years... used it to go campin, and fishin... cause when I fish all nite I like to nap... hehehehe... tye one on an snooze... the pole ya tye it to ya hand and ifins a fishy do nail the hook wakey wakey and all that jazz...
Once upon a time when I was homeless... unmarried and out of a place to live... had a job yeppers... was roofin and haulin off the trash from them new houses... but me and my landlord... had a fallin out... mean old man kicked me outta the trailer park cause his wifey had the hots for me... for real.. learn me to run around naked in a rented trailer house... being young and studly and all... oh yeah I was bathin in the lake... Lake Austin for reall long long time ago... little spot I found no one else went too... well couple folks skinny dipped there in that hole a few times... but hey no one was a round this time... all three weeks...
I was fising, had a small fire goin... it was okay to have a camp fire. I was tired... just a little after nine p m... cause the sun just gone down... yeah I was a little scared of the dark but I stayed real close to the fire... had my old trusty cott... coleman bedroll... my fishin pole and a license... always had a fishin license... cheeeep back then.. 3 dollars.. who knew...
Anys way I was snoozin on the cott... cause I was tired... been roofin in the hot Texas sun all day for 4 whole dollars an hour... hey that was good money... that old fishin rod went crazy... jerkin and bobbin up and down... I grabbed it up and started reelin grinnin cause I'm gonna eat tonite... and yepp it was a fair size channel cat... so i cut off it's head, cleaned it... was gonna say gutted but hey... cleaned is cool... rolled that sucker in about an inch of lake bank mud and tossed it into the fire...
Baited the old reel up and cased it back out and must of been my nite... cause I got hit as soon as the bait hit the water... and yeah it was another catfish... yummy... and me with no salt... well andy way... both them catfish found themselves in the fire... and I raked the first one out, it was hot... the mud was dried and when ya peeled the dried mudd off the fish the skin went with it leavin the well done white fish meat to enjoy... I was stuffed when I finished off both them fishys... and the local cats was havin a whale of a time with the remains...
Funny how them cats knew I was gonna feed em... must of walked about a mile thru them sticks to get to the lake those three weeks...
Then this fellow with funny lookin hat came a long and said I was gonna have to go... so I packed up my gear and left... he thought I was only fishin... I'd done took my bath.. and well I saved up enuff to rent me an appartment those three weeks... gosh even had a pool... yepp...Next fish I had was pan fried...
Wonder how long I'd last now tryin to rough it in the wild... aint no places left around lake austin or any them other lakes I camped at when I was single... Awe jeez don't reckon I'd even have the courage to even try any more... sleepin on the floor is way hard enuff... wind is blowin feet are cold... cause the cold air come in around the window and under the door of this old appartment... gotta build me a door snake... tube of cloth filled with sand or something to toss in front of the door to block the wind from blowin in...
well wheres me slippers... Jackie says it's too hot in here anyway... but gee she wears clothes... me I'm in my scampies... shorts and tee shirt.. no shoe... second childhood can't afford shoes....lol okay i am teasin.. i just don't were em the pair i got... I got shoes two pair... tenny runners... got three pair of pants too... and one coveralls... four real nice shirts... bunch of shorts and tee shirts... hehehe..I'd run around naked but its way too cold now... my son wouldn't put up with that no way lol... says I'm gross... get dressed.. you be old an weak someday too boy... yeah but dad ya wide... not wise.. and I'm gettin white out so get dressed.. jeez...
Well I'm achin to bet the band... on the bright side gettin up and down off the floor is way good exercise... yes sir... least I can still get up... off the bed on the floor jeez whiz... ya'll gotta be kiddin me... Oh its only my mind in the gutter eh... lonelly down here... Played CCR... made me cry... felt so old and alone... just cried... no body saw me cry... sure the hell aint what I wanted to do... I hate bein in pain all the time...
Maybe I get lucky and that bed will show up... who knows.. don't really think anybody cares...
Time to get my son up for school... guess I'm still good for something... YOUUUUUU WHHHHOOOOOOOO... wakey wakey.... (in my deepest southern voice I'll boom...) did you see a naked person run through here...
DAD!!!
aint life grand

That was interesting how you cooked them catfish. I never thought about it, but I guess you could roll them in mud and cook them like that. This is why I love daily strength, you can learn something new every day. God bless you Russ.
yepp no mess cookin.. all ya gotta wash is ya face and hands when ya through... funny you know ya fingers don\'t even get messy eatin catfish that way... never tried eat-n perch that way lol...
Russ you are a mess but I loves ya anyway LOL.

Love your journals as always!!! Stories of you and your son make me smile :-) Kids are great!! Dad isn\'t too bad himself either :-) You are a one of a kind!! Sure hope you get that bed tomorrow especially after all that hard work you put in getting ready for it. Bless your heart! I don\'t know how you do it all! I only have one room with carpet and been wanting to clean it but have no energy..you have any left I would love your help lol If it was up to me the familyroom would be hardwood too!!
Take care of you my friend and I hope you have a great day tomorrow and that bed shows up!!
