While there are a lot of folks I truly admire…look up to at this Golden Tent. While I owe a great debt of gratitude too….(Moggy, Lurker…and Bj just a few). Want you to know this evening….you have always been one of the ‘grounding rods’ that has kept me ….well….kept me in place. With your ole beaten straw hat, your woodpile….and many days/nights….the thought of that seat…..that ole metal place…..where thoughts have taken hold, and remained steadfast….if tonight, I had to pick any one paticular place….it would be the honored privilage, of sitting next to you, on that metal resting place….that would bring me the most comfort. TQ, and his porch, deck, overlooking that orchid….a very close second.
Thank you for teaching me, (and TQ) the ways of a ‘Gentleman’. Thank you, for sharing so freely, your thoughts, considered advice, your hours of study…of the companies…that might provide the desired results we all seek. Never required, but often posted by you….are those that may lead us all, even the lazy ones like me…into a better future. Thank you Sir, for sharing, so much of your wisdom, and knowlege. It has not gone unnoticed, nor overlooked.
DAre I say it? That I love,….yeah…you heard it right…I love ole Irish, and his partner, his wife. I love his sense of freedom….and a second home. But let me say this evening, if I was given just one evening…one place…one person….that I could spend a few hours with…well, my request, would be an evening spent with you. Just sitting on those ole iron seats, and a chance to talk about ole tractors, and gold. And life in general. I would gladly trade, any month of my life experiences, now or future, to sit beside you, and engage in some ‘plain talk’. As only, ole tractor lovers, lovers of land,…can do.
I have met, served with, a lot of ‘Real Men’ in my days, and for that….good or bad….I am thankfull. To sit, in an ole iron chair, or an old unfinished chair…only partly painted….with you…..would be, the Best of Times. And taking for granted, that you would suffer, a fool such as I, would be willing, to continue the education, you have so often provided in these pages. No stroking of egos here tonight….just a Farmboy, who is pretty sure, he still can reconginze, appreicate, the wisdom, the understandings, of a few good men.
Wishing you the best, Farmboy. (Who is living proof, the village idiot, can learn from the counsel of the wise. grin)
