Your welcome.
Done?
Just being a person that loves to fish and hunting, and enjoying nature and friends.
If you can't laugh with friends and family your in sad shape, and need it even more.
Everyone else did what they did without everyone's participation, it would just be ramblings.
Ramble? Us ? No way! Just lose our train of thought and keep yaking until it comes back to what ever it is we attempted to say.
I think that's what I started to say. Well maybe.

Besides when I lost my memory uh what was Imgonna say? Oh yeah.... I lost my sense of uh....uh....? Oh hell!
We don't ramble, we converse. The fact that we actually spell out the whole word, or get specific explaining details, just means we want to be clear with our premises, rather than leaving folks fuzzy on our point. I have found that to be one of my biggest pet peeves these days....seems no one has the patience to listen to the whole story. MANY times I have been told to "cut to the chase, will you ?" when sharing an experience with others (particularly YOUNGER types). In the past, I would do so.......hurrying the message, to please my audience, as it were. Nowadays when I get that "cut to the chase", I simply stop......look 'em straight in the eye and say..."Go..get gone... you obviously don't have time to learn today... bye." and turn away. Harsh, I know.... but hey, it works. They're either curious & relent to listening to the entire thought pattern, or they slink away in shame, knowing that the old white-haired guy just put them in their place,....in front of their friends. Probably not the best solution for everyone, but it gives me the satisfaction of not having wasted my time with those who "ain't gonna learn what they don't want to know" !
