A logbook of my many journeys and explorations riding aboard Paladin2, this hopes to be an homage to the men who opened vistas of the American West 150 years ago... cowboys, settlers, lawmen and outlaws alike. Today I can only experience this through the windshield of my bus, Paladin2, yet the scenery and vast landscapes spread out before us are still breathtaking in its scope and majesty.

☞Today in Music History -- On today’s date 28 years ago, Monday, November 23, 1992, famous American singer, fiddle player, & music promoter Roy Claxton Acuff (1903-1992), “The King of Country Music,” met his earthly demise at the venerable age of 89 when he died from the effects of congestive heart failure at Nashville, Tennessee.

☞Requiescat In Pace, Roy Acuff.

☞Acuff began his music career in the 1930s, attaining fame as the singer & fiddle player for his musical group, the Smoky Mountain Boys. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1938, & remained one of the Opry’s key figures & promoters for nearly four decades.

☞Roy Acuff sold more records than any other Country Music star in the ‘30s & ‘40s, & he was so popular during World War II that Japanese soldiers would scream their infamous battle cry “To Hell with Roosevelt! To Hell with Babe Ruth! To Hell with Roy Acuff!” at U.S. soldiers & Marines.

☞In 1960, Acuff was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

☞In 1962, Roy Acuff became the first living inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

☞The photograph depicts Roy Acuff on a U.S. Postal Service commemorative postage stamp that was issued in 2003 in honor of the King of Country Music.

Our plaque unveiling today.. this was so welcomed by the Residents of Lakewood Park, and especially the Veterans. I am grateful that everyone was so happy about how it turned out.

Yumpin' yiminy..! I wake up, barely able to get the crusties out of my eyes, the ducks are clamoring in my carport, coffee pot hasn't started yet (I forgot to reprogram it Sunday).. then my alert chime on my delivery app goes off.. "Gary! We got a great paying gig for Home Depot. You want it?" Pants?.. check. Socks?.. check. Coffee?.. I'll grab one on the road. Sanity?.. Houston, we have a problem. Ducks?.. friggin' feathered bastards, I just threw a few handfuls of feed and cracked corn at them, and they acted indignant that the 'presentation' of their morning sustenance wasn't up to their standards.. it'll probably affect my Yelp review.. *sigh*.. Run to Home Depot, grab the order, stop at Dutch Brothers for a coffee, as I pull up to the window I suddenly realize that my pants are not zipped up (after already having been at the Customer Service Desk at Home Depot.. and no one said a word!.. thanks, guys!).. the barista girl leans out to hand me my coffee and sees my trying to get my pants zipper up.. decision time, do I overtip her to make this go away, or face a possible visit to the Judge..? (Hint.. this delivery has just turned into a money-loser for me, but still cheaper than bail money). Delivery completed, park in one of my hiding places.. chime alert!.. guess who's got another Home Depot gig? I'm gonna give myself a thorough pat-down before I head there.. and hope no one's watching.. *sigh*.. And it's not even 10am yet.. gonna be an 'interesting' day.

The End of an Era, the Loss of a Legend.. *sigh*

Time for yet another weekly massage, to get the kinks out. Thankfully I'm feeling some release of tension from the results of my accident.. now, if I can just get 'Life' to leave me alone for awhile..!

The 'Cacophonous Quacking Sounds of Sunday' here at the Homestead..

Getting cozy for the upcoming winter..

Finally.. the 'Alpha Wolf' comes outside, sees its shadow, and decides its safe to come home..!

Another friggin' morning, feeding the 'feathered dependants'.. *sigh*.. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Psalm 23:4 King James Version (sorta) Yea, though I walk through the feathered valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no fowl: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff.. and a big ol' bucket of corn.. they comfort me.

Just another 'Jurassic Park' Sunday, here at the Homestead..

The start of yet another 'exciting' Monday.. yippee-ky-friggin'-yay.. *sigh*
