    Same amount, but we heard it was supposed to start around 7ish.

    According to Radar, the Snow is falling a little West of 95 now so it shouldn't be long

    “Hardy” is a pretty generous word used to describe him and his mode of transportation

    It might be the only vehicle he can drive with his busted ankle. Bad right foot no rear brake. Still have front brake.

    The Boys have indicated that we should have breakfast before making the final decision on loading the buggy and striking out into the cold and forbidding Ho in search of birds that are most likely smarter than the hunters and have couched up in their warm and comfortable nests

    @Judge... Some folks just cant stand prosperity. Get on a gig; get to making a few bucks, start immediately to figure how to cut down on their
    input.
    Knew a boy who blew into Tupelo, old trappy GMC P U and an excellent knowledge of Heavy Industrial Truck Batteries. Swap cells, clean , equalize, replace cables. Nearest competition 150 away in Memphis. Within one year, new classy pick up, fishing 2 days a week at a cabin in Sardis (80 miles away). Wife taking service calls and he not appearing.
    Counseled with him... He said it did not cost more to go 1st class (the new pickup to haul acid leaking batteries), or to ease up a little from hard work (2 fishing days a week). He thought he had "arrived."
    We decided we could call Memphis, Have Buster Shoemake with Gregory Salisbury listen to us, set a time, show up, fix the battery right there, and send us a bill. Machine back to our customer and we paid and good rep. Cost a little more, but we were doing business, not waiting...

    Young man was back in Memphis working for some dealer within 3 months.
