    Lol... That's hilarious... We used to have Nail Gun wars with the contractors on the neighboring roof... Saftey glasses highly recommended.

    She was from just north of Cookville Tn. She’d tell of the county fair, when all the hill people would come down. I couldn’t help but ask, given where she lived, “ What hills and where they came from?” Her answer was they’re up there, you just don’t hardly ever see them. They have words or dialects that are unique, like most of Appalachia. Same in Louisiana, dialects change down there, in a matter of 10-20 miles in some areas. Very interesting.

    Had a roller on my 10' patio door go kaput a couple days ago. Didn't feel like doing it so called a guy was supposed to come this morning to replace it. He called and said he wasn't going to be able to get to it till Monday. I said #### it can't wait till then to use the BBQ. So I take the doors off and replaced it myself. A couple of things I found out.
    1. 5' double glass aluminum glass doors are a lot heavier than I remembered.
    2. Getting old sucks.

    You go on down here to the head on, bear left and go till you hit the hard road.
    Cross it and go to the little church. They live right there.

    These tell you to continue on the wrong road you are on until it dead ends.
    Take a left and go until you reach a paved highway (US72). Cross it and go
    till you see a little building used as a church.
    These were given me; behind Lake Hill Motors, east of Corinth, MS one night
    to find a man who owed my loan company a few payments. He rented the building.

    It called ratio and proportion... That's what was missing.. Did not know how many pounds of onion to
    use with my sack of potatoes. Cattlemen lost a sack.
