Going To Get The Exterior Of The Dudley Domicile ...
repainted in a few weeks. The majority of the house will be Ivory to match the bricks. Dudley is going to change the trim color from Blue Gray to Red. The Front door will be Red, it is Black currently. The shutters and front porch rail will remain Black. Dudley ordered a new address plaque to put on the house by the door. The old one was made of wood and two of the numbers had fallen off. The new one is made of Aluminum so it should last a long time. The painter is a pretty good Carpenter as well and he is going to build new steps for the back patio/porch. When the work is complete it is going to look like a new house.

My Painting Of A Navajo Indian By Robert Chee ...
I inherited from my Grandparents. When I was a kid I was always fascinated by this image for some reason.

My Great Uncle, Jefferson Davis "Duke" Jernigin ...
taking delivery of a 1931 Stearman Biplane "Texaco 11" at the factory in Wichita, KS. I received this photo recently from Walter House, the Historian at the Kansas Aviation Museum. He had seen my blog post about my Great Uncle. He told me they are in the process of restoring this aircraft. How cool is that.
Here Are Some Photos Of The Restoration ...

Sunday Evening Frank Grilled Some Venison Fajitas ...
and Jeff came over and we ate like Kings and drank a cold beer and watched some hunting shows. Jeff brought his Great Grandfathers Winchester 1873 that he inherited for me to see. It is an amazing lever gun with a heavy Octagonal Barrel. Jeff also brought a pair of Mexican Made Spurs that his Great Grandfather found while he was down on a Ranch in the Texas Hill Country many decades ago. He had sat down to eat his lunch under a big tree and saw something sticking up out of the ground. He started digging and unearthed this pair of spurs. If only the spurs and the old Winchester could talk, the stories they could tell!
Frank Put Up His Cowboy Hat Rack ...
and his Key/Cap Rack in his room last weekend. He also mowed the yard and did some other chores for me and his Grandmother. Thanks son!

Dudley Could Not Put It Off Any Longer...
and went to the Eye Dr yesterday and got an exam and ordered some glasses. Dudley has to go in to get his Drivers License renewed next month and is pretty sure he will not be able to pass the eye test. He just barely got by the last time he had to go in over ten years ago.

Frank And Jeff Went Fishing Today ...
for the first time in a long while. They had fun and caught two or three bass each. Nothing real big but some nice healthy bass. The water is still a little cold. Maybe they can go back next weekend and catch some big ones!

Dudley Installed His WINCHESTER Key/Cap Rack ...
today by the front door. It is getting to the point where Dudley can hardly do these type projects any more. Having Muscular Dystrophy is not for wimps. When I am able to complete a small project it is a big victory in the battle against the progressive neuromuscular. Disease!
Dudley Installed His NOS DAZEY Can Opener ...
today. Bought this almost ten years ago off EBay. Going to come in handy for opening cans of Wolf Brand Chili.

Frank And Dudley Went To Strawn TX Today ...
to eat lunch at Mary's Cafe. Dudley has been wanting to go there for a long time. They have been awarded the title of the best CFS, Chicken Fried Steak in the State of Texas. Dudley got a small CFS with a baked potato and Frank got a medium CFS with French fries. Frank drank iced tea and Dudley got a Dr Pepper. It was worth the 70 mile drive one way. It was without a doubt the best CFS Dudley has ever eaten!

Got A New WINCHESTER Key Rack Today ...
Bought it off EBay from a lady who said she got it out of her mother in laws attic. Not sure how old it is but it is well made and is plenty sturdy. May hang it by the front door to hang keys or caps on. I also bought one for Frank that says MARLIN and has a cowboy on horseback holding a rifle. It is black in color.
