Mornin Keith!

Greg, I got sick when I was a kid and the last thing I had eaten was watermelon. Whether or not it actually made me sick is immaterial, there is a mental connection there. Even watermelon flavored candy or the smell of it makes me feel ill.

Mornin Al!

Just about 40 hours til I pick up my nephew and his friend at DIA for their visit. Pretty excited. First time in a long time anyone has come to visit from Florida. My Pop might even come to visit after he goes to visit his brother in southern Illinois next month.

Rattlesnake is pretty good eating. You fry it up like chicken and I guess that why it's tastes like it. Not much on the ribs but they do have a strip of meat kinda like a tenderloin that is mighty fine,


If we get the opportunity while in CO I'll be glad to fix ya some!
