Now its time to call a wrecker to fetch my propane tank...
I need to rebury our pets...that is a toughie right there.
It's time to rethink my future and forget my past.
With that thought...and a pain in my heart...I need to say this.
Lord in heaven...thank you for this reawakening...
Let your strength sustain us...guide us.
Now God...between you and I...why is this smile on my face?
Why is this worry that I should have...not making me bitter.
I certainly take this as a personal note from you...I understand.
I pray for my Nephews who are going to Disney World today... to live it.
I pray for the souls that are lost in the world...to find it.
I pray for the entire world Lord...in hopes that they understand...to love it.

Oh Michael, dang. One really hard thing after another.
Please give your lovely wife a hug from me. I hope her chest pains are gone now and that's she's okay.
I'm so sorry about your pet cemetery and the flooding and the mess and all the work....and dang.
Sending hugs for you too.
How is the cleanup going? Has the water receded yet? Are you okay?
I love all three of the songs you just posted. I'll give it a quick think and add in another. When I get stressed, I need music.

Let me tell you a bit about why I chose this song and Luke. Luke grew up on a dairy farm. Just when he was about to go to Nashville to pursue his music, his older brother was killed in an automobile accident. He just couldn't leave his family then. His mama couldn't bear to say goodbye to another son then. So he farmed with his dad and went to college at night. Putting his music dreams on hold. His dad knew that he was going to have to tell him he had to leave....to fire him....or Luke wouldn't ever leave. So he did. Luke went to Nashville and pursued his music. Recently, his only other sibling, his sister, died unexpectedly at home. Luke and his wife, in addition to their own kids, have taken in the siblings child(ren) to raise (don't remember the number now). Luke always includes a song or songs about farming and rural life on his albums, except for his Spring Break albums. Do you know that Luke is the only country artist that has the following to headline his own concert tour this summer? I guess music festivals have taken the place of touring for many artists now. So if some folks on Facebook have issues with living in the country, I saw phooey on 'em. Luke was a farmer and he's plenty cool...just like you Michael. You can take that to the bank. Luke does.

I didn't know that Luke went through all of that...I heard something about his brother a few times...but not his sister. When your siblings start passing away...you get a moment of clarity...that time is of the essence. I think it is time to put away the party songs...and start making music that has more meaning.

Thank you so much for caring Jo...that means a lot.
I buried her Tiffy under a young oak which also holds my brothers ashes.
The lil dog should be safe here forever...the sun came out when I laid her down again.
The propane tank had tire tracks all around it from people trying to get it out.
They would get stuck and have someone hook up to them and they would get stuck too.
I was not too sure if they were going to bring the tank back to me or not.
In fact everyone helped clean up all the stuff from the highway...and took it.
This old Maverick had my cattle gate tied to it's roof as it drove by.
We locked eyes at the very last moment...that dude has to live with it.
Aw heck let them have it all...just give it away!

Now... I am up on the first day of my vacation with a whole lot of work ahead of me.
My propane tank is about a quarter mile away...and oh...it's just a mess.
This flood washed out our pet cemetery...I never wanted to see dear Tiffy this way.
I haven't told my wife as she is stressed enough...she is plain tore up.
In the middle of the flood she began having chest pains...now what?
I can't believe what I said next...I said lets go take a nap...
I was really hoping that maybe someway...I could have woke up and that this would have all been a dream.
Unfortunately...it is not. Praying for your wife, Nash. Also praying that myself, you, and anyone else struggling in this world right now..find the peace we all deserve in this world. See, people are spending so much time debating views these days, that they forget what's really most important and that's to love one another. After all, that's what Jesus is about.. Acceptance and love, not division and hatred.

Dang Michael, people sure have their nerve. Stealing right there when it's obvious you've already been hit by a flood. Dang 'em anyway. It is their loss, they have to live with themselves.
I'm glad Tiffy is safe once again.
On the party music and Luke Bryan, his sister's death was very recent and this last spring break album is his last. In fact the single from it said exactly that.
On the party music in country music in general, there's a shift coming. It's held on too long because artists were always looking for tour sponsors and alcohol sponsors found they could reach the drinking and party crowd pretty effectively when partnering drinking songs and tour promotion. Bro-country has peaked and is declining though.
There is, of course, the whole Sam Hunt thing going on but it'll be here and gone too.

Michael,
I know you've been interested in the dollar for some time now. I just posted a link to an article on the News thread about how Texas recently passed a law to take their money back from the New York Federal Reserve. Turns out when others heard what Texas is planning to do, calls came in from all over asking Texas to store their gold too.
I sure hope your vacation is starting to be less work for you and your lovely wife.

I have came to believe that these are only tests...tests to see how strong you are. Jeffery my friend...you are the strongest person that I know. That being said...how are you with moving 20 foot logs?

Yes Jo... it is a shame...yesterday a church group went up and down the highway...picking up stuff. At least they stopped in to ask if anything in the truck was mine...I told them ...not now. Stuff is only stuff...and I have to much of it...what I really need is friends...thanks.

It is amazing that precious metals are still down and dropping...I think when Greece finally folds metals will spike. If I had a big enough amount I would certainly move it to Texas too...until then...into the well it goes! Moving ...is a word that I have heard to much lately...I may move or I may never move at all. Although... Colorado is calling...and Texas is blood...Tennessee seems like home...again. But by Golly...I am going nowhere...for now anyway...love it here...mud and all.

Michael,
Stuff is just stuff. Which is a good thing since the mess in Greece wiped out all the gains any of our 401k's made this year entirely.
Greece has to make a big payment by 6 p.m. this evening or they are in default. The Greek people have been hoarding money for months now. Which was smart since the banks and their stock market are closed all this week.
Lately I've been frustrated with the over-population all around us and start thinking of living in a less crowded place. Then I think I'd hate to leave behind the people around me. I do loves my peeps. Used to be though there were fields of farm land all around us. They've all disappeared now. I saw a raccoon getting ate by vultures on the road just a mile from our house yesterday. Not that raccoons are my favorite animal but it just goes to show how animals have gotten pushed out of the pockets they lived in between developments. Kind of a metaphor.
I hear where your coming from. Mud and all. It gets frustrating.

I hear where your coming from. Mud and all. It gets frustrating. Oh precious metals spiked last night and then dropped below yesterdays low...buy...buy...buy! Yes my friend there are lots of changes all around us. Now I heard that Michigan is the #1 place to live in America...and I believe it...Jeff lives there. I have been watching Cosmos where they predict that we will have to leave the planet someday... I guess we could jump to Mars for awhile...start running shuttles...anyway...back to Earth. If one thing that this flood has done is to have gotten my family talking again. The general consensus is...sale it and move on...I can't ...this is home.
