Willie put on a great show as usual! It was a very small production with only a couple band members (1 snare drum, 1 piano, 1 bass, 1 harmonica, and Willie's gitaur) but thet were on stage for right at 2 hours playing alot of all his hits along with some very unusual stuff (but still quite good) for Willie.
About the only song I think he ruined was "Beer for My Horses" because he just does not sound right singing Toby Kieths part.
It still amazes me that his old gitaur is holding up! That thing looks like it can fall apart into a hundred pieces at any minute but his still gets right in and picks the hell out of it!
My Free room from Harrah's was unbelieveable! It was not a normal room. I had a living room area with a seperat bedroom and a plasma TV in each room. The jacuzzi bath tub was big enuff for 2 people! The rate for that room if I would have had to pay for it was $599 per night![:0]
For dinner last night I had a 22oz. ribeye steak and lobster with all the fixin's! I could not finish the whole meal it was so big!
I got all that for free and I only blew $100 in the casino and my gas for the round trip was about $80. So for under $200 I had a great weekend that was some time away from the kids that I was really in need of![;)][:D]

Honestly...it was the most beautiful place I have ever seen! If I could afford to pack up and move west, I would be there in a heart beat! Kelsie keep us super busy. Started Monday evening at the Steelhead Brewing Company. I never drink. Haven't had a beer in probably 20 years. But hey, we were re-living old times! So I had 4 of their "Raging Rhino Reds." WOW! Hit me like a sledge hammer! Spend the rest of the night in and out of bars around the University. Thank God my wife doesn't drink and agreed to serve as the "designated driver" for the evening. Don't know how happy she was that her hubby and her ex-roommate got plastered, but she is a good sport! Tuesday, after recovering, drove over to Coos Bay and up hwy 101 to Astoria. Made several stops along the way. Had dinner at the "Cannery Cafe". Great food and wine! Wednesday we drove up I-5 to Mt. St. Helens. Truly an awe-inspiring place! Today all we had time to do was pack up and leave. Had another layover in Phoenix on the way home. [xx(] We are planning on coming back next summer and spend at least a week. We will plan far enough ahead to meet up with a few of you "Oregonites" when we come back.
BTW...did I mention that Oregon is polluted beyond belief? The smog is TERRIBLE! [:p]
PS. Not that anyone asked, but I waved to everyone from my Harley Custom Softail[:D][:D][:D] !!!!!

The house and land is just off I-81 in a small town called Bulls Gap near Rogersville.
Congrats! We're neighbors. I live just off I-81, too. Just a little farther north.[:o)]
Sounds like someplace you can hang your hat for a long time.

Sounds like you got a paradise. Now listen, buddy, or, should I call you brother? Listen, brother, I sure would like to come visit you during deer season. I am just over the border in North Carolina.

Know it well!! I'm going down to exit 30 off I81 this week and look at 13 acres and a farmhouse.....
I'm in Kingport all this week if you get back down this way. Guntech, where are you located??
Hi guntec, my wifes parents live in blountville tn. and she will be driving back and forth to take care of them. We will be moving in around the middle of feb. so you will have to come look us up and bring some ammo. and guns and try my new range out.
I should have used a sarcasm icon. I'm just off I-81...but, in New York!![:o)] Sorry.
The pond is spring fed and over 16ft. deep so the trout should do well. Thanks Allen for the info on rotenone, I will look into that. I was hoping for a big fish fry with all the bass in the pond if I could find someone with a dinamite liscense. The rotenone says that you can't eat the fish after they are killed because it is a poison or something. Guntech, how far north of me are you? I was thinking of looking for work in the rogersville area. Any good jobs in that area?
haha, the big thing over in rogersville is the factorys. I think TRW is over there. There is some pretty good sized industry there. Check Morristown also.
Greenville has a wal mart distro center[:o)]
I've seen our local DNR use a boat with a generator in it and electric wires to stun fish for fish surveys in state parks as well. They just troll around until they hit a fish, and when it comes to the top, they scoop it up with a net.
Then have a big fish fry for the neighbors and you could be elected Mayor.
Then kill off the rest of the fish.

We just got back from Tenn. and I have found and bought our new house. It has 31 acres and a big stocked pond. 12 of the acres are open pasture land with a nice little hill for backstop and the land drops away from the house so I have a nice setup for my skeet and trap range, and I have a good 200 yd. range with a back stop for my larger rifles. There is deer and turkey all over the place and the guy that we are buying it from has already put in a acre of food plot for deer. The pond is stocked with bass and I want to put trout in it so I am going to find someone that likes to fish with dinamite. Is there any other safe ways to clean a pond out of bass in a hurry?
Have a GB get together/shoot/fish fry/meet and greet, and hand out fishing poles.[:p] Let us know the date ASAP, so we can plan ahead.
