Exactly.
Always hated the smell of boiled peanuts.

Its been pretty calm here for us. We traded campers during the lock down, got a side loading toy hauler so I could take my bike with me when we start traveling. We bought a piece of property down at Appalucy's place. Becky sold here place in Maryville, I bought a new bike, I retired, and we are pretty sure we sold the farm this week (beats the hell out of buying the farm I guess) Now we have to build a place in Blairsville.
So all around pretty calm here other than I am going to be homeless for about a year.
Cant wait to see what is next.
Glad I dont like to grow a garden.

The smell is bad, but the taste is worse! Not something I will try a second time.

I have been dead airspace here for a long time, It's hard to deliver during a plague...
It will be bittersweet, but how about The Thrilling Days of Yesteryear:
I'll start with how much I miss Possum Trot! Wild times..... I think of it often.
Add in how it was and used to be When L.K. and I owned a cabin a few years at Hooten Old Town. Adventures there.....
Not to mention, I think it was our second year in the game we shot 49 of 52 weekends that year. How I long for THAT.
Not having my partner with me every time causes me grief.
The current state of things cramps my style. I want freedom like we used to know.
What is left for the game, I don't know... For all of us, I don't know...
Hell, there used to be a party connected to everything.
Many friends have been lost, hard to stay in the path.
Tell your tales, let's talk.

PS- Last Kiss and I have been married 27 years, today. Some would say, "WOW! That's great." Others would say, " Pffsstt, that's nothing!"
PS- The anniversary was Friday. I had to learn how to copy and move the topic from a laptop...

Congrats on the 27 years of marriage. Good things last.
I can only read about the years gone by and wish I had discovered this sport and the people  long before I did.

To not be off topic too far with this, I'll post it here. (Inspired by Tombstone.)

Things I'd Like to See:

That those we miss could show their smiling faces
And strap on their guns and take their places
We could hug, shake hands, mingle with ease
Without care or threat of disease
To not give a hoot about the weather
Instead be glad just to be together
Have lead and powder to burn as we want to
And not even have to think of a twenty-two
Big or small, close or far...
Look at targets and say, "There they are!"
If stages tough and hard to play
We'd just grin and say, "Okay."
Forget the world and get the thrill we seek
Get a smile to last all week
Run and gun, work up a thirst
Then see who gets to the restaurant first
Live and enjoy the Cowboy Way
Even if it's only for the day
F.H.

It was a veiled longing for the past, and I knew that you would get it, but maybe some hope for
the future...
