"So there I was"

[Shifty]

3k knee deep in 109s, and 190s. Some black leathered gentleman had just taken a hug bite out of my P-38.
All the sudden over over vox I start hearing the farm and ranch report. 

Some hillbilly has vox tied up talking about the expected crop yield in Kansas, and the price of sugarbeets. A couple of my Luftwaffe tormentors peel away and dive on two allied planes below me. Sure enough it's Oaktree, he's about to speculate on the price of pork bellies before I'm able to cut in and warn him. Before I could ask him how to get the rutweavels out of my squash some 109 pilot gives me an prettythang full of taters. I don't know about Kansas Oaktree, but it looks as if the tater crop in the vaterland is doing just fine this season.

Easy OB I know where your CO lives, and he might take offense to you comparing his home state to Kansas. There is a difference though. Texas is a State with plenty of trees, you just have to get out of the airport.. Kansas is a treeless county in Oklahoma.

LOL.  We do not recognize Oklahoma as part of Kansas.  Last time i check, Kansas was a establish state long before Oklahoma, we just left that god forsaken land to Texas.  In Fact, We just dump on Oklahoma in the same we dump on Texas.

For the record Lut is only a temporary Texas resident, on TDY you might say for the last 20 years, in fact I think he still has an Arkansas drivers license which I think they issue for life when you turn 14 years old in Arkansas.
 In truth I can't diss on Texas too much I spent 2 & an half years in San Antonio at Kelly AFB in the late 60's & early 70's as an innocent young GI where I kept the road hot between boystown in Larado & Eagle Pass sheding my youth and innocence as fast I could and Oh!! what days. Back then, I was known as Young Bull and I am sure you have all heard the story about the Old Bull & the Young Bull standing on the hill, well lads the Young Bull was me and the Old Bull at the time was a grizzled old Master Sgt who's name will remain anonymous, but he reminded me a lot of Lut.
  With that thought OldBull  settles back into his rocking chair on the porch and lapses back into thoughts of his misspent youth and a smile slowly spreads across his weathered face

FOR THE RECORD.... 16 is the age in Arkansas. WOOOO PIG SOOIE!  GO HOGS!   

But to the above I find sounds REAL familiar. At age 14 I was driving a $25,000 tractor pulling a grain cart within 2 FEET of a $50,000 combine going around a field and they wouldn't even let me NEAR a car.  LOL!  I could drive a 5 speed, split shift grain truck before I ever learned an automatic transmission.

DAMN am I dating myself! LOL!

Age is a relative thing Lad, but we are an experenced lot.
 OldBull muses as he rocks back in his rocker again and lets his mind slip away to a particular night in Larado long ago...

Listen there "JR" - "I" have worked as a Bouncer in a a VERY UPSCALE Strip Joint so in the terms of "Experience" you aren't even in the same Ballpark as I am.     So go play with your Comic Books and Baseball cards and try to stay out of the way.
