Monday morning here, time for all the worker bees to get back to making a living.
Looks like it was a busy Sunday night in the old watering hole. I hope life treats you all kind today and you find a smile somewhere.
Coffee left over from yesterdays brunch, I think it is mostly crunchy by now but you can always pour some whiskey in it to soften it up.

Coffee sounds good. I had a field trip this morning to the babies school. I might start doing some pickups or dropoffs, so I located their classrooms, got introduced to the teachers, and confirmed I was on the 'approved' list. Kinda fun. The little are such a hoot in small groups!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Good morning to you Salty and David. That Garland comes up with some good tunes when he stops by and it is always good to see another Okie in the place.

[SaltyD from BC]

Good thing there wasn't a third Okie Bobby we might have had a riot

Wow David you're a player. on da list and everything. That does sound fun

[Bobby of Tulsa]

All my Okie friends are a pretty peaceful bunch.

[SaltyD from BC]

I know Bobby just messin around I've been watching this YouTube channel lately, young fellow tattoos all over he restores old cars he's quite talented. I find it easier to watch guys do it than to take on a big project like that. He doesn't bring them back all shiny and new but leaves the rust like is in style now, I kinda like that. He's from Pott county Oklahoma, "Puddin's Fab Shop"

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Salty that used to be just about the only bad habit I had, I gave it up when those old wrecks begin getting to high priced to buy, kinda like old boats that will never see water again.

[SaltyD from BC]

I know what you're saying Bobby. I browse craigslist and marketplace sometimes, I'd kind of like to do a 50's pick up some day, nothing fancy keep it stock. They're out there but a total project not running most parts off and in dissaray, rust all over and the guy wants 8 grand for it. Yeah, I don't think so.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Back in the day those old cars and trucks were sitting around a lot of yards, $25 dollars would get you a complete car less battery and good tires. Over on the Stovebolt forum I saw an old 20 something truck, the only thing above the dirt and weeds was the top half of the cab. Around two thousand for that.

[SaltyD from BC]

The other thing that's killed it is car crushers. Seems like around the 1990s around here metal salvagers started hitting up all these properties with fields of cars. Either someone had passed on or someone wanted some quick cash and they made a deal and everything got hauled away in big semi bins to the car crusher for scrap.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Yes that is true, the epa came along and made a bunch of those old salvages or junk yards clean that stuff out or else.

[SaltyD from BC]

I can see both sides of it. Places that didn't care about oil or anything else leaking amongst their dozens of cars isn't too cool. Still a shame to loose a lot of history though.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I guess the cleaning up the land was the best thing but some of those old cars had lost all their fluids year ago. and crushing them was a sad thing for this old man to see.
If Paul was still out in Arridzona I am sure he could find you a good one and then you would have to rob a bank to buy it.

[SaltyD from BC]

That's where to look all right. We've got a bit of semi desert country a couple three hours east of here. The Okanagan valley, if I get serious I'll look up there probably. They still come up once in a while but you gotta be ready to pounce. I saw a pretty nice early 50s International not long ago, original flat head 6 he'd redone the wiring recently to 12 volt and it ran pretty nice. Rockers and floors needed a bit of work but that wouldn't be a panic. I think it went for 7 grand, if I was ready I would probably spring for that for a decent runner that I could tinker on over time

My own danged brother forgot I wanted his old Studebaker pickup if he ever gave up on restoring it. I bugged him several times, and he always claimed he WOULD get to it. Then when his kids were pushing him to clean up the property... he sold it. One of many, MANY reasons I owe him a whupp'n <G>

Ouch. Yeah Studebaker pickups are dead cool. People used to kind of laugh at the idea but now they're top of the pile for collectors

[Bobby of Tulsa]

David, I would love to have one of those fat fenderd 50 model Studebaker pic ups

[garland reese]

I had never heard of Puddins Fab Shop before. Thanks for mentioning it Salty. Funny stuff. I like that a lot of his stuff is done with economy and practicality in mind. Boy is that guy Okie or what!?

Hi Garland, That Salty dude seems to know about a lot of different things.

[garland reese]

That Puddin guy is not too far away from my neck of the woods Bobby. He seems to doing pretty well with that whole youtube gig thing and his shenanigans. Lol

I came across a blues guy out of Tulsa recently. Seth Lee Jones. He is more builder than player maybe and not completely my kind of player but he is solidly good and builds some nice guitars for some high end dudes. He had some influence as a builder from a lady named Dixie Michell. Look her up. Interesting lady with quite a history of guitar building. I discovered her just about a year before she died. She lived in Tulsa. Old school as they come yet had a lot of very innovative ideas on how to make a guitar better.

Bob Wills is classic! Thanks David! They payed the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa pretty regular back in their heyday. The Cains is still a great venue in Tulsa. Not a lot of dance floor these days since fans just crowd the whole place with standing room only.
My dad used to sing this for me when I was a young boy around 8 years old or so. The song was old even then! I am only thirty. Give or take thirty years or so. Ok. Give thirty years or so.

That's funny. One of my dad's faves also. And he used to sing it at me. Which was ironic, as I was anything but chubby. But I certainly DID like to eat. Song's more apt now. I ain't saying I'm as chubby as Tulsy. I just ain't saying <G>

Yikes! Morning Again!!!

Babies are at school. Son1 is off to his new PT job. Roofers are here to finally finish off the last section of roof. I'm hoping it'll mostly be a peaceful day, as I've got some planning to do.

I have days I am so sick and hurt so bad, I pray for death but it flees from me. I try really hard to not get there but it still comes. The beer and Tequila don't help anything but I feel like I am giving this cancer the bird.
I hope Kevin is doing better than I am. Oh I forgot cancer sucks.

[SaltyD from BC]

Bobby all I can say is I hope you have a hell of a lot more good days than bad days and the same goes for our friend Kevin. Positive mind bleams love and good karma thoughts for you both my friends.

[SaltyD from BC]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Thank you Salty guy, and the best life has to offer back to you.

[garland reese]

Hey Bobby. Man I hope things get better for you as Springtime rolls in.
One of my favorite performances from Billy Gibbons right here.
