T.H. and I go to the sale barn every Thursday to buy a few head of steers. Lately he’s been too busy to go and he doesn’t trust me to go by myself so he’s been buying them on the internet from our local sale barn. We’re so modern. Embracing technology like that. Working remotely […]

We are engaged in a massive “Red-Neck Renovation”. This is an actual conversation between T.H. and me last night. (Not edited for brevity) ME: Don’t we need to get a PortaPotty out here for these guys? T.H.: Hell no! We’re out in the middle of no where. They can just go out in […]
