Dudley Was Watching TV Today And The Cable Went Out ...


Dudley called and the recording said they were aware of an Outtage in Dudleys area and that they were working to fix it. About an hour later the TV came back to life!

Dudley usually took a snack to the deerstands on afternoon hunts back in the day. Had to be quiet food, no Potato Chips!

Dudleys Wife Is Having A Good Time In New York ...






She walked over 4 miles today and is taking lots of pics! And eating some great food!

 

Mural On A Building In Mingus, TX ...


Dudley has been to Mingus, there are not any Saguaro Cactus any where close to there!

No wild saguaros are found anywhere in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Utah, or Nevada, nor in the high deserts of northern Arizona. 

 

Dudley And Frank Saw A Great Movie Tonight ..,


Inspirational story about one man's search for Peace. He found it through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


                      John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he  gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 

Dudley Laughed When He Saw This ...


Not far from the truth. A lot of these so called experts on the tv shows don't really know all that much. I hunted with a guide years ago on the Nail Ranch. He had guided most of the Outdoor writers in the hook and bullet trade. He told Dudley that with one exception, they were professional writers, not professional hunters. The one exception that was both a professional writer and Hunter  ...

Dudleys Wife Sent Another Picture Of The Chrysler Building ...


She took this picture in the day time from the Upper Observation Deck of the Empire State Building. What a view!

 

This Morning When Dudley Got Up He Turned The Lights On His Hunter Ceiling Fans ...


He noticed that the lights were flickering. That was a sign that there was a problem with the power supply to the Dudley Domicile. Sure enough, about an hour later there was a loud explosion and a bright flash of light. The transformer had blown. Dudley called the Power Company, has them on speed dial. Later got a text message saying the power should be restored by 7:30 PM. Dudley was sitting in his truck in the driveway about 4:00 PM charging his phone and listening to music when he got a message saying power had been restored!

 

Yesterday, Dudleys Wife Was Standing On The Sidewalk In Front Of The Trump International Hotel And Tower ...



A big SUV pulled up and she watched Mark Cuban get out and walk inside. Go Mavericks!

 

Rest In Peace Hugh Hefner ...


Dudley saw Hef in 1986 at DFW Airport. Had just gotten off a Jet from Chicago and walked around a blind corner and there he was standing a few feet away talking to two beautiful young women. I think one of them may have been his daughter. Dudley saw some funny comments on FB.

And he went out on Hump Day! 

It will take the Mortician a week to get the smile off his face!

The only man in history to die and not go to a better place.

 May he rest in peace.

Sheffield Ferry Across The Neches River In South East Texas ...


This hand drawn ferry was in operation for 100 years. From one year before the start of the Civil War until Dudley was one year old. 1860-1960. Gives Dudley a good feeling knowing he was living for a time while this historic ferry was still being used. 

 

Dudleys Wife Sent A Night Pic Of The Chrysler Building She Took ...


Dudleys late Great Uncle Jefferson Davis "Duke" Jernigin Jr used to have an office on one of the upper floors when he was a Pilot/Executive for The Texas Company, now known as Texaco.  Wish JD was still there and could take Mary and her friends to lunch at the Cloud Club. 

 

Child Voice Actors From The Early Peanuts Cartoon Specials ...


Dudley was and still is a big Peanuts fan!

 

Signs And Landmarks In Fort Worth Texas ...


             Some of Cowtowns finest!



 

Dudleys Wife Is In New York City ...



She and a friend flew up there this morning to see the sights and some friends that moved to New York a while back. She saw the Statue of Liberty out the window as the plane was making its final approach into LaGuardia. She is going to see the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building while she is there. Will go to some Museums and will go to some great Restaurants no doubt. Dudley is holding down the Fort here in Texas. Will survive on Pizza and Peanut Butter Sammiches for the next six days!
Dudleys wife better not bring back any of that Picante Sauce that they make in NEW YORK CITY! That contraband is not Texas Cowboy approved :)

Dudley Is A Railroad Fan And An Art Fan ...




Some great railroad art Dudley saw on fb.

 

Uncertain, The Documentary About Caddo Lake And Some Of The Residents In The Town Whose Name Describes Their Future ...








The old fishing guide, Henry Lewis who has a big part in the documentary passed away earlier this year. May he Rest In Peace. 

       FISHERMAN/ANGLERS PRAYER

        God grant that I may live to fish,
                 until my dying day,
       And when it comes to my last cast,
               I then most humbly pray,
       When in the Lord's safe landing net,
                I'm peacefully asleep,
          That in his mercy I be judged,
               As big enough to keep.

A B&W Photo Of Two Guys Preparing To Go Fishing In East TX In 1959 ...


And A Color Photo Of Their Days Catch!

 
Tragically Johnny Horton, at the peak of his short career in the Music Industry was killed in a truck/auto crash in East Texas. This was about one year after this fishing trip. He was on the way to perform a concert. The other fellow, Johnny Cash went on to have a long successful career in Country Music.

 

Frank Is On His Way Downtown to the Fort Worth Club ...













He is going to hang out with friends in the Davey O'brian Sports Lounge up on the 11th floor. They are going to watch the TCU vs OK State game. Go Frogs!

 

Great Old Photo Taken In Texas In 1911 ...


Dudley could not make out the location but it may be near Palestine because the engineer was named and said to be from there. Must be the Internstional and Great Northern RR. This photo is great as it combines two of Dudleys interests. TexasRailroad History and Hunting History. The two guys with the guns and hunting dogs look like they are fixing to go have some fun! Of course to Dudley, the Engineer and Fireman were not working operating the train, they had to have been having fun too and they were getting paid :)
