Swampy

Howdy Folk's,
Just chillin on the computer. I have to get up early to go to the V.A. tomorrow. Tonite is my nite off work.

I went to see dad today. He is doing O.K. He's a little worried because he will be losing his doctor that has been seeing him since he has been in the nursing home. He is putting in that he wants to come home again. Everyone I know who has seen dad all say the same thing. He needs to stay right where he is at. He can't take care of himself. I wish it was different and dad could take care of himself.

C,K, and I had a family supper tonite. K has been studying for her graduation test the state requires them to take. She had one test today. She has three or four more to go.

C is still working hard and giving it all she's got. She has been exhausted after this weekend too. She's in there watching T.V. right now. Her and I watched Deal or No deal together tonight.

The dog? Well he's the dog. Growing, getting bigger and more aggravating by the day. Love and hate him. Don't want to get rid of him yet. Little bastard.

That's about it for now. Y'all take care now ya hear.

Special news

Hi Folks,
This weekend was a long busy one for me. As you all know I am in a Motorcycle club. Actually a MC. In other words I wear a three piece patch. I had to earn my patch. You can't just "Join" a MC. I have been a member in a chapter in a large city near where I live.

This weekend Several members including myself became chartered to become the newest chapter in the state of Georgia. The new chapter will be in the town I grew up in, not the one I live in now. We have been working on it since last year. I have not said anything about it here. I am one of the officers in this new chapter.

Tonight at the bar was slow. We got a little crowd in late. I am still whuped from this weekend.

Well Y'all take care!!

Night time in the swamp

Hey Y'all,
Just got in from work. Drying some clothes. Tonight at the bar was slow. We almost had some excitement. One our patrons came in ( we'll call him G) that use to date a bartender(We'll call her D) that doesn't work there any more. He's a friend of the bar. Earlier a group of guys came in that are regular. They had one guy with him we'll call him J. J wanted to beat G's ass and has been talking about it for a long time. When G was dating D, G caught J in a motel room with D but never saw who he was. G slashed J's tires and left. This was a long time ago. J was talking shit like he has for a long time, but nothing never happened. Yeah we aren't short on drama.

I haven't seen C all day. When she was coming home from work I was going to work. We did get to talk on the phone a little today thou. That's what happens when we have opposite schedules. Tomorrow we will ride the bike to club church. That will be nice.

Well, Ya''ll take good care!

Wednesday at Cornbreads

Hey Y'all,
I made it to the lawyers office and signed my will. Stopped by and saw dad. He is doing O.K.

Tonite the owner of the bars son was having a surprise birthday party. He is one of my coworkers. We had a good time and he was plenty drunk by the time me and C left. He was having a good time.

C has gone to bed, she is wore out from work and going out tonite. Me and Harley are here in the computer room. So far he has howled at the top of his lungs. Hope he didn't wake the whole house up. Now he is chewing on the chair. I just hope he doesn't shit or piss on the carpet tonite.

Well Y'all take Care!!

Nite time in the swamp

Hey Y'all,
Cornbread here writing from the swamp. It was cold this morning (Tues). There was frost on the ground and C had to scrape her windshield and windows with her drivers licence before going to work. Tonight is not as bad but it's cold. Of course ya know in Georgia anything below 50 is "cold".

I am running on battery power right now. I have had about 3 hours of broken up sleep today. It was all I could do to stay awake at work tonite. I'm not shure what sales were like but we only had a minor problem tonite. A guy that likes to shoot pool in the tournament had his wife and girlfriend in the bar. We were waiting for a fight to break out. Nothing much happened. The girlfriend got a little mouthy out of the guy and his wife's earshot, but that was about it.

Well Y'all I'm fading fast.
Have a good 'un.
Cornbread

Another day off

Howdy folks,
Got to see dad today. He was doing O.K. I did some running around town for him today. That man is a good guy. I'm proud of my dad. He does so many good things for a lot of different things and people he believes in. It's his way of staying connected I guess. I hope I am like him in a lot of ways.

Got some of my parts in that I need for my project. That puts me one step closer. My wood and marble arrived today. Now I have to get the wood to the right proportions and the edges routed. I have a friend that I think I can hit up for that. I have decided not to do a "box" but rather do a flat piece of wood and glue and screw the marble to it. The way the marble is cut and polished it will look better that way.

Tonight K cooked a ham. We had that and red potatoes for supper. It was good. K's boyfriend J came and had supper with us.

C is now watching T.V. and I have started relaxing with the computer.

Y'all take care!!
Cornbread

Sunday Nite

Howdy folks,
I never did make that ride on the bike with C. I was just too wore out with broken sleep today. We ended going to western sizzlin and she drove while I dozed. K went with her boyfriend to church. C came out to the bar for a little bit but had to leave because K forgot her key to get into the house.

Tonite at the bar was slow. We lost our ass this weekend. The bands are expensive. I don't think we made enough to recoup what we paid them. Weekends like this are why we quit having bands. They were costing us money. We weren't making anything. We have the band again next weekend. This has been a test run to see if things have changed.

Well Y'all take care!
Cornbread

Just another nite in paradise

Hey Y'all,
Just got home from work a minute ago. Made me a bologna sandwich. We had the band back tonite. They were loud. By the end of the night my head was pounding. Sometimes when it gets to the last of the night it's hard not to think "God will it just please end" We didn't have no trouble and sales were good so overall it was a good night. I just hope it was enough to make up for the slow night we had last night.

It's officially Easter. K is going to church with her boyfriend. Me and C will probably take a ride on the bike and get us a good lunch. It's late and I'm tired but I will find a way to drag my ass up and get with it in the morning or early afternoon.

Happy Easter Y'all!
Cornbread

Friday night at the bar

Howdy folks!
We had a band tonite but the bar was slow. I am shure we didn't make any money tonite with paying the band. I hate nights like that. There was a Travis Tritt concert going on in the city closest to us tonite. Maby that is where all our business went.

One of our customers rode in on his bike and shut us down. He was there for our whole shift drinking. I parked his bike on the dance floor and gave him a ride home at the end of the night. It was a little out of my way, but it was better than him trying to ride home.

C came out for awhile tonite while I was working. We got to sit together. It was nice. She has to go into work tomorrow (Sat). Maby we can spend some time together Saturday night or Sunday when I wake up.

Well Y'all take care!

Slow night at the bar

Tonight was boring at work. We had people in for a birthday party. That was the most exciting thing that happened. I got some eats and birthday cake while the party was going on.

I got the oil changed in my truck today. Me and C saw each other in passing when she stopped by the bar to pick up a burger for K.

Some days are like that. Just regular ol' days with not a lot of excitement. I can appreciate them.

Y'all take care!

Wednesday Night

Hey Y'all,
I up late on the computer. Was fixin' to shut it off and realized I hadn't updated my blog.

I took Harley to the vets today. He got his rabies shot and nails clipped. They gave him a clean bill of health. Told me his balls dropped and wanted to know if I wanted to get him neutered. They say neutering is good, but it seems mean to me.

K is feeling better but still running a fever from time to time. She went out with her boyfriend and his family, shopping and to a movie. She must be feeling better if she got out of the house today.

C and I went to the waffle house for supper and over to some friends house to visit. That was our date for the week. I was supposed to be at a employee meting at my work but my boss talked to me and said I didn't need to come to it. That freed my evening up for C and I to do something.

I ordered a piece of mahogany online for the base for my cremation urn. Now all I have to do is wait for the marble and wood to come in and find a cabinet shop to make my wood "box" for the marble to fit in. Later on comes finding the right bolts and drilling the holes for mounting and assembly. The ornament is another story. It's all coming along a little at a time.

Well, I don't know of much.
Y'all take care!

Swamp Moss

Hey Y'all,
Spent most of the day sleeping. K is off from school but has been sick with a mega headache that wouldn't go away. She spent all day in bed. Her boyfriend came over and tended to her and I went to mcdonalds and brought her some lunch.

C worked late but stopped by the bar to pick K up some dinner. I got to see her for a few short minutes. Sometimes I hate it when I have to work and can't see her. I have pretty much felt like shit all day about last night. It's a bad feeling when I hurt someone I love. I just wanted to be close to her all day. I couldn't cause she had to work today and I had to work tonite.

I ordered the marble base for my project I am working on. We are still going to have to build a wood "box" for it to sit in. The thickness of the marble is only 7/16ths. We have to counter sink holes in the bottom to attach the urn. Making the box for it will give it a nice edge too.

It may seem weird to be making my own cremation urn. But it will be the place I would be most happy for my final resting place. I will get to enjoy it while I am alive too. Death is something that is unavoidable. We all have to face it. Maby it's part of my dark side, but I feel I am being responsible and getting my affairs in order. I go next week to the lawyers office to sign my will.

Some people have asked me why do I want to be cremated? Well for a lot of reasons. It's economical and clean. I won't be buried in a graveyard where I am forgotten. I'll be right there in the living room where people will remember me. You are only truly dead when your memory no longer exsits. I don't have a problem with my body being burned up when I am dead. I won't feel it. The spirit and soul and your memory is what continues on, I believe. This body is only a shell. My remains can be with people who love me and I them.

Well Ya'll take care!

Swamp fight

Yeah, Me and C had our first big fight tonite. It all started when last night she got a bunch of people together to go riding today. She volunteered me and didn't ask me. I was O.K. last night to a point. Today the more I thought about it, the more I got pissed.

I got home with the kids, made sure they had food to eat, and hauled ass on the bike. This was just before she got home from work. She saw me pulling into the bar on her way home from work. I had left without her and wasn't going to meet our friends. We had it out on the phone and when I got home she was locked in her room. Later on I went in there to her room and we had it out some more. She came out and we had it out in the living room. Cordially of course. Finally I grabbed her and hugged her and told her I was sorry. It took awhile but we got back right with each other.

We may have had a fight, but no matter how mad or stupid we get, I still love her and she loves me.

Y'all take care,
Cornbread

Sunday night, Weeks end for me

Hey Y'all,
Tonight was quiet at the bar. Usual drunks on Sunday nite. C came put for a little while. I just got home a little while ago myself.

Last night was weird. A major city near us lost power. The whole damn thing went black. A tornado touched down in another small town near us. We are out in BFE but we had power. It rained like a sumbitch. The wind got high and the lights flickered.

I am working on a project right now. I am building my own cremation urn. C thinks it's kinda morbid. I think it's kinda cool. It's a motorcycle themed urn. I have a friend with the right tools that is going to help me build it.

Well that's about it for now.

Y'all take care!

Friday night

Hey Y'all,
I had tonite off work. I ended up at the bar anyway. We had club church and a party for one of the brothers that is home from Iraq. We had a good time, but the band was loud. Couldn't hear yourself think. We didn't take the bike because we were expecting rain. Of course nary a drop came from the sky.

C and I came home and got on Ebay and did some shopping for some stuff for the club. We found what we wanted and now C has gone to bed. Dogs asleep kids are in the bed and I am getting some time on the computer.

Well y'all take care!
Cornbread

Thursday

Tonite at he bar was a little unusual. I say unusual, because of the crowd we had. Tuesday night people in on Thursday. One of the brothers from the club who is home from Iraq came in. One of our old time regulars who moved away came in and has joined a motorcycle club, Some of the drunks that came usually don't show up on Thursday. Just a weird night in that respect. One of the drunks that I listen too and he appreciates it, gave me his cowboy hat. Me and a good friend of mine got flashed tonight by a American Indian girl. My friend was handing out beads for St. Patty's day. No fights tonite. A good night.

K has off from school for the next week and has gone to a friends house to spend some time. C is still working her ass off. She came out to the bar and spent some time after work. I always like it when she comes out. Even thou I am working I get to see her some, get a hug or two and maby a kiss. It gets her out of the house and gives her a chance to socialize with her buddies and acquaintances at the bar.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow. I guess the swamp will be filling back up again.

Y'all take care!

Wednesday night off

Hey Y'all,
I've been enjoying my night off work. C and I rode with the club to a bar for bike night. We had a good time hanging out and seeing old friends. There were three local bike clubs there and a lot of independents. It was getting chilly when we left. We stopped by the bar I work at on the way home. It was dead there.

I came home and made C and I pancakes at midnight. She's in the bed reading and getting ready to go to sleep. Nocturnal me is of course in front of the computer screen.

Another good night in the books. It was nice to get out and ride a little. I don't ride like I use to.

Y'all take care!

Tuesday night at the bar

Hey,
Worked tonight. One guy passed out at the bar and pissed his pants. We had pool tournament tonite. There were a lot of people there. Pretty much a uneventful night. Got the place cleaned up and came home.

K saw the doctor and made it to school today. She's doing better. Running a little fever. She didn't want to miss school because of midterm exams. I think they are starting tomorrow.

C is working her ass off and doing what she has to keep this family going. I know I couldn't make it without her. I really am fortunate to have found such a woman.

Well that's about it Y'all.
Take care!
Cornbread

Night off

Hey Y'all,
Dog just shit the carpet. Now he's in his cage and C and I cleaned up the mess. Frustrating.

A/C is froze up again. Frustrating.

Saw dad today. He's doing O.K. Got bills paid. K is home sick with the flu so I had to go by the school and pick up some school work for her. She has a doctor appointment in the morning.

Tonite after supper We went over to one of the brothers from the club place and visited for awhile. We didn't stay long, just got out of the house for a little bit. Now we are home relaxing. I am on the computer and C is watching a movie on T.V. Just a quiet night in the swamp.

Y'all take care!!

Chilly swamp night

Hi Y'all,
It's 40 degrees right now. The heat in my house sure feels good.

Tonite at the bar was busy. There were a lot of drunk units I had to keep my eye on. Fortunately nothing happened. One dumb ass came in the bar dressed a tweety bird. She was drunk as hell. Falling on the floor, falling into customers. What a retard. People kept coming up talking to me all night. Most nights I don't mind it but tonite I was busy watching some really drunk potentially violent people. I don't need the extra aggravation of having to turn my attention away from keeping a eye on things. It was frustrating. On top of that I was really tired tonite. That made it even worse. Today was a long day. I had to be at the bar at 2 this afternoon and work till close.

I did come home to a good meal and good company. C was still awake and she made some homemade chicken soup. Man it was good. I had two bowl fulls. I had to fight the dog trying to get up in my chair while eating it. Since Harley has got bigger, he has learned how to crawl up.

Well that's about it for tonite.
Y'all take care!

Dead night at the bar

Just got off work a little while ago. It was dead which is a little depressing. Especially after the good night we had last night. We had the late crowd come in drunk and there was one mouthy little bastard but I didn't have to fool with him. He kind of took care of himself. I would have liked to busted his ass. He didn't say anything to me, but he was drunk, ten feet tall and bullet proof. His buddies got him out before anything happened.

C took K and her boyfriend out to the movies tonite. They had a good time. I wish I could have been there but like so many times I don't get to do things with my family.

Tomorrow I am going to see dad. K said she wants to come along. I will enjoy spending some time with her. C is going in to work tomorrow so I won't get to see her tomorrow. Sunday I have to be at the bar at 2pm and C is going into work. I won't get to see her Sunday either.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Y'all take care!

Home from work late

Hey Y'all!
We had a excellent nite at the bar! The register rang high!! Liquor was flowin'. The reason I left late is because the were two couples who had been in there drinking and spent A LOT of money. They were drunk as hell. They did have a DD so they were good. After we closed one of the couples came back and knocked on the door and the guy was just about to shit himself. (bare with me) He made it to the bathroom. Shit in the toilet and puked in the trash can. His girlfriend had to get his pants back up. All this took about 20 minutes. He proceeded to shit his pants. He had shit and puke all over his pants. We have a term for someone who is so drunk they shit themselves. It's called "MUD DRUNK" I didn't mind. The extra aggravation was worth the register ring.$$$$$$$$ We don't mind taking care of people who spend money, have a good time but get a little too drunk on the way. Poor bastard is supposed to go to work at 6:30 in the morning thou. I feel sorry for him. My boss called me on the way home and said he saw them on the side of the road with the flashers on not 2 miles from the bar. Heh Heh Heh.

Today was interesting. I got woke up this morning from a brother in the club. One of the other brothers wife was in the hospital. They didn't know if she had a stroke or what. She had double vision and dizziness. I went up there and stayed until they admitted her to a room. C went up there after work. Some more of the people from the club were there too. They finally let her go home this evening after I went to work. C and some of the brothers from the club went with them to the waffle house and had dinner. G the lady who was in the hospital is still having dizziness. Keep her in your prayers.

Well that has been my day. Hope yours was as good or better?

Take care,
Cornbread

Midnite in the swamp

Howdy!
Yer fav-0-rite honky here. I feel a lot better than last night. Last night after I finished posting I fell asleep in the computer chair till 5:30! My feet were swollen, I felt drunk from being so sleepy. I made it back to my recliner and slept a lot more today.

The T.V. guy got our cable problem fixed today. He said there was a bad line down the street from us. He came and checked everything here at the house and it looked good. We watched T.V. tonite with no problems.

I haven't done much today. I only got out of the house twice today. Once to take a school project K had finished to the school and then to pick her and her boyfriend up cause they stayed late. I was in my pajamas and t shirt all day. Even when I went to the school. I was Mr. comfy and didn't care what people thought.

C put a roast in the crock pot this morning and we had it for supper tonite. It was dee-lic-ous. We have to buy groceries again soon. That was the last piece of meat in the freezer.

I don't Know of much. I had a nice relaxing day off. Tomorrow I start the bulk of my work week.

Y'all take it easy!!

Rain today

Howdy!
Yep it rained today and put out the fire in the woods. I'm happy about that.

I only got about 3 hours sleep last night. K missed her school bus. The phone guy was in and out working on our T.V. Internet line. He has to come back tomorrow. I worked tonite and I am weary. No problems at the bar except we were busy. That's not a problem.

I am so tired right now it's hard to think. I wanted to check in and tell everyone hello. I think I will make this a short one tonite.

Y'all take care!!

Swamp Fire

Howdee!
Yep the woods are burning not far from my house. I called about it today and when I got back home tonite they are still on fire. I called again and was told it was a controlled burn. Nobody is out there. no nothing. It is still quite a ways off from my property, but if my woods get burnt, I am gonna be a pissed off camper.

I went and saw dad today. Picked up cigarettes and cigars. Me and C talked about the bill I was going to pay today and decided to pay it next Monday when it is due. I stuck a little money in the bank.

I picked up some P-nuts and met a friend of mine at the bar. Gave them to him to boil in hot sauce. They are so Good. Me and C had a burger at the bar and came home. Now I am fixing to balance one of the checkbooks and relax a little.

Y'all take care!

End of the work week for me

Hi Y'all,
Just got thru with my sunday night at the bar. Had to throw a guy out tonight. He hit one of our well liked regular patrons for no reason. This guys girlfriend was talking to our regular cause she has known him for years and her young punk boyfriend decided he didn't like it, so he walked up to him and cheap shot decked him. I tossed his ass out and had to hold our patron back from coming after him. My front desk got knocked over and made a mess. I told the punk to never come back again.

Me and C had a pleasant afternoon. We got up about 2pm. Went to denny's and had breakfast, then went to the harley shop before coming home. C took K and her boyfriend out to the clubhouse for dinner and I went to work.

I got paid tonight so tomorrow I am going to go and knock another bill down. The land line/t.v./internet bill. This one is only $117 bucks. Ya know, I can remember when $100 bucks was a lot of money. Now days it is about like what $ 20 bucks use to be. I wish I had money and no worries. It must be nice for some folks. Most of the people I know are struggling just like me. Somethings gotta give. Maby when we get a new president things will get better. Yeah right. That's what I always hear during election year.

I don't vote anymore. I have become disillusioned with the whole process. It doesn't matter what the popular vote is. The electoral college is going to do whatever it damn well pleases. Does my vote really count? Hell no. If I were going to vote, I wouldn't vote for Baraak Obama. He's a black Muslim. I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. She is a female user with her own interests at heart. I'm not sure about John Mcain. But who knows. Maby I have my head up my ass too.

Well that's my thoughts for the night. I guess I am feeling a little negative after the little incident at work tonight. That's one of the effects things like that have on me.

Y'all Take care!!

Wee hours of the morning down in the swamp

Hey Y'all,
Just got off work a little while ago. Kind of a busy night up till about midnight. We had a party with free food. Low country boil, steamed oysters and a bunch of other stuff. There were a lot of shrimp left over, so I peeled me a plate and brought them home. Just polished them off. Now I got the hiccups.

We did get out of there a little bit early. About a 1/4 to 3. Everyone left and we got the night work done plus some of the next day stuff done.

Today (Yesterday) before work Me and C got up and went to the bank. Went by alltel, paid our bill and got her a new phone. We saw dad. Came back home and picked up K from her friends house.

K's boyfriend has been lying to her about something since they have been together. I gave him the "better not keep that shit up or your gone talk". There is two things I have learned never to tolerate. Lying and stealing. You bald face lye to me about something and you have just F'd up. C and K are my heart. I didn't say anything about it till K opened the door on the subject. Then I let her boyfriend, J know what I thought. Kept it short and to the point. I hope K teaches his ass a lesson so he never wants to do it again. I'm not pissed off for what he done that he lied about. I don't like the fact he bald faced lied to her. Now I feel like I got to watch him cause I don't trust him as much as I use to. I actually like the kid. I hope he learns something from this experience.

I don't know of much. It's 4am. I am going to finish my virus scan and surf around a little,

Y'all take care!

Good morning

Hey Y'all,
Tonite at the bar was kind of slow. At least the DJ didn't have the volume up and blast us out like usual. C came out and had supper. When the retards started coming in late she figured it was time to go home. I woke her up tonite when I came in, let her know I was home and told her I love her. She likes to know I am home otherwise I wouldn't wake her.

I wish I could come right home and go to sleep. That's impossible for me. I am sleepier in the daytime than when I get off work in the wee hours of the morning. I don't know if it is the diet coke I drink or what. I have to wind down. That usually takes a hour or two. If I am real tired I don't get on the computer. I get in my chair and relax. Tonite I seem to be wide awake.

In the morning C and I are going to pay our cell phone bill. We have three lines so it's a big bill. More than the electric bill. But the way we have it set up we are saving money over what we had before. C's phone is acting up too. It won't hold a charge. She dropped it in the toilet a few weeks back. We don't know if that is the problem or a bad battery. We have insurance with a 50 buck deductible. If we need a new phone, we can get it for 50 bucks.

I saw dad today but I would like to bring C by to see him. Dad made the comment the other day that he hasn't seen her since we moved out here. I hadn't thought about it but he's right. I don't visit him on the weekends anymore and that is the only time C is free to go with me. Our weekends are always so busy. I will be avoiding something I am supposed to do with the club today cause we have a lot of buisness to take care of. It will afford us the opportunity for her to see dad if everything works out right. I hate not doing stuff with the club, but sometimes I can't help it.

Well Y'all take care!
