I tell ya. Me'n Ole Rodney dont git no respect. We wuz born under a bad sign. What a revoltin' development!oldyaker said:"Really Chuck, that Army food is real good!"
"Ain't no Class 5 rapids on this river."
"It's around the next bend in the river."
I bet none a ya'll even ate any "new army" MREs. The times they are a changin'. Ya dont git the young gals 'n the MTV kids ta join up on pork 'n beans 'n soda crackers. The ones I toted on the St. Mary wuz way outta date. Miz Bear made me chunk 'em when I got home cuz her son sez..."I caint believe ya'll ate them....too old". [I think he meant Van.]
True, the army dont put wine in the packets, but after Iraq, they may have ta. :cry:
I already tole ya ta let me run the vittles some time. It will be the best eatin' ever. Who dont like a bacon, lettuce 'n tomater sammich? Breakfast....add a egg. Someday I aim ta set down 'n see how many I kin eat. I bet I kin out eat that Chinaman who jest won the hot dog contest. :roll:
There warnt no Class 5 rapids on the Buffalo river. No geezer blew out in any rapid....even though ole Grummanns with keels jest beg fer a dunkin'. The canoes wuz loaded down with campin' gear. When geezers make it okay, with the wrong boats, loaded down with gear, there aint much risk....long az ya tie all yer gear in tite.
I figger I done okay with a twenty year ole memory. I flagged the first rapid "Chuck's Ledge". I missed Gray Rock Shoal....so sue me, 50% aint bad at all. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
The Tuckaseegee wuz much harder, but the geezers wuz catchin' eddies 'n surfin'....yep surfin'. oldyaker blew out one time, but he shouldnt have wore a watch anyway. :wink: Everbody who took a dunkin', will do better. If ya dont blow out, ya dont git yer dollars worth.
Next, Chattooga Section II....then Section III (but no Bull Sluice). After that "who knows". :lol: :lol: :lol:
