Yesterday I went into town and bought two wooden rocking chairs for my front porch.  I've been spending more time out front lately because I can't stand all the noise my gangster neighbors across the way make. I admit some of my vehicles are loud, especially my Harley but I've been "tippy towing" my way out of here as an attempt  to set a good example. Before they moved in I would often jump in my 55' or my Monte and scream off  my driveway chirping gears always with a big smile on my face, that's just me. Sure, I probably made some noise, but it only lasted for a minute. Not any more, I try to be as quiet as a mouse now, these folks with their atv's and motocross bikes have all the neighbors in the area pissed ! That sound carries, no doubt they can hear it in Graceland ! The service road behind my house is covered with skid marks and trash, I seldom check my property line with my golf cart anymore, I know what I'll find and it ruins my mood :o(  .   If that's not bad enough, somebody has been stealing my fence caps :o(  .

   While I was in town I bought Pluto a 30" rawhide bone, he loves it :o)  he whips it around like it's nothing more then a twig !  The wind chimes on my front porch still sound beautiful but I need to replace my jasmine candles, they seem to have lost their scent. I may go with an ivy or honey suckle scent with a slight hint of pine ? I rocked away for an hour and went in the house.

  I went down to my dungeon and took a few shots of whiskey and went back upstairs. I grabbed the remote and turned on the big screen and I swear to God . . .  after a second, a picture filled the screen ! It was a commercial with a handsome bird dog running around and somebody was squeezing a squeaky toy !   Pluto went nuts !  He started barking his big ass head off and his eyes were glued to the screen !  It was funny as hell.  I turned off the tv and decided to take him outside. I left the porch light out and went out the door. No sooner then I walked two or three steps it happened  . . .

   Pluto took off across my lawn as I tripped on his rawhide bone !  There was no way I could catch myself . . . I   l was long gone and along my way !  I fell sideways and landed hard right on my left side, my ass took the first punch but the rest of me followed. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. My mind raced , I thought I may have broken my hip ! It really didn't hurt that much but I landed with all my weight really hard. I felt like an asshole ! What would have really made it worse and would have ruined the rest of my night ?  If somebody would have yelled out " Timber ! " . I would have laughed along trust me. I got back on my feet and realized I didn't hear anything crack but it shook me up. Pluto was very concerned and stayed at my side. I thing a fox tried to swipe Pluto's bone and when I opened the door it ran off with Pluto giving chase. At least that's would I'd like to think but who knows, maybe I left the damn bone in the middle of the porch floor earlier ? I thank God it happened to me and not my wife.

    Well today is another day, I feel fine so far. I thought I'd be hurting today but I'm not. You never now, maybe it will bring me some pain with a bruise later but so far I'm Ok. Back in the day I use to bust up my body pretty good but I was well compensated for it. Last night I fell hard , I didn't earn a dime for it, I could have gotten hurt bad :o( . When a man breaks his his hip he usually doesn't last much longer, its a serious condition that simply takes him out.

  I may not have earned a dime from my fall . . . but do you know what?  To me the lesson learned was worth a million bucks.
