lol, thats a good one Tom... " i just got it an hour ago"

[bugeyedriver]

Well . . . there I was, waiting for Robert to gas up his car down the block and up pulls this SUV with the window rolled down and this exuberant woman assertively says "Sir, would you like to sell your OLIVER?" I initially thought . . . wait a minute! These YAHOOS are 1/2 mile from the Oliver Plant in Hohenwald, TN with Virginia license plates, they know what an Oliver is and have the audacity to ask to buy mine in a WW parking lot!?

 

I did mention something about the recency of my purchase (meaning it's MINE and you can't have it) Before I could say "GO GIT YER OWN" Karen broke into a huge grin and said "Pete, its US, the Whaleys!"

 

Hardeeharhar, well played Karen & Tom

Very nice job venturing out into the world of blog!

Here's to a lot of great adventures for you and Oscar as you travel into retirement.

Just remember, wherever you go ... there you are.

[bugeyedriver]

Oscar & I shall be enjoying the great Texas outdoors at the Inks Lake State Park on the Colorado River in Burnet, TX 19-21 Apr. Come August 1st, we will be permanent retirees and shall really hit the road!

 

So far we plan to learn how to fly fish with some friends in Colorado late September and will be at the Matagorda Madness rally in December. Lots of dates to fill in in between those two!

 

Wherever we go - you'll find us on the blog - chillin'

Very good pictures Pete. I just sent them to "Trailer Life Magazine" of which will be running a feature on the "Oliver Trailer". This will be your chance to be "Published".

 

p.s. Whats the tongue weight limit on bugeyes?

[bugeyedriver]

Springtime in Texas . . . time to stop & smell the flowers. Earthdancer, something you said about making u-turns to go back and get a "can't pass it up" picture took hold of me today as I was returning to home from Inks Lake State Park. I Just HAD to do it ...

 

 

ps BuffaloBob, If I could reach deep enough into the grinning car's mouth to grab its tongue, I could tell you.

[bugeyedriver]

Dang it . . . my 13.5 lb fluffy-foo-foo dog is a'scared of big-toothed alligators!

Whooda thunk it?

Oscar, your blog just gets better n' better ! Tell Pete we said hey !

P.S. Pete there aught to be lotsa' cool stuff washed up out on the barrier islands, but watch out for washouts. The returning storm surge can really make some cuts in the beach.

[phil underwood]

[bugeyedriver]

Pete, congratulations on your retirement.

 

I saw where you were going to Gunnison for some fishing. I recommend One Mile Campground, in the Taylor River Canyon, just about 14 miles North east of Gunnison, about 6-7 miles east of Almont. They have electricity at each site, and common water faucets. It's a beautiful place.

 

If you go, tell Robert and Wanda, the camp hosts, I said hello.
