Friends,
Fighting poverty full time is my passion, like Jr. Tubbs, my neighbor likes Mrs. Tubbs. Jimmanny, that fellow got 11 children by her without a twin in the bunch. And they ain't
quite 33 yr old yet. Mother Maybolt always said " You know, Christ our Savior died at 33."
I seen Mrs. Tubbs with all those children in tow at the fund raiser for the Volunteer Fire Department here in Cedar Grove and I do believe number 12 is in the oven! I am a batchelor,
not by choice, but my farm accident back in 76 took care of any romantic desires I had. John Deere paid me for my loss of consortium even though I wasn't married. But enough about me and Jr. Tubbs, on with the War on Poverty. My lawyer, C. Batsell Bateman, III, argued that I would have to sit down to pee for the rest of my life and asked the men on the jury what that was worth. I could've told em it ain't worth a dime, but C. Batsell told me not to say that before the award.
Since my last post, I was able to talk to the catapillar salesman in Jackson Tennessee, a fellow by the name of Charlie Savery. I believe his momma named him Charles, but Charlie said that that name was too formal for a Cat salesman. I told Charlie I wanted to buy a Cat Dozer and he wanted to know if I owned any cats. I told him that I had four, Inky, Blinky, Stinky and Todd.
He said we could get a new D3 Cat Dozer for about $130,000 with a service contract thrown in and a three year or 3000 hr warranty which ever came first. I got the impression I could more in likely, squeeze 3 to 4 hundred dollars off that price as it was for a charitable cause and everything. I did not want to ask right away for the discount, but when we have raised the money and when I was ready to buy it I would ask for the discount then and this way we could fill the tank with diesel fuel with the money we saved on the purchase. Nothing sweeter than a Catapillar Dozer with a full tank of fuel!
Plans for the charitable dozer drive next.
