(Rich) is what I called him not,Richard.
We spent a lot of time trying to master his new age pellet smoker BBQ cabinet. I tried to tell him it's nothing like a mesquite fire flame pit and that the boys up north cook there briskets like us Texans cook our pot roast. Heck we didn't care though. I got to say it's was a feast set for a king. He would talk about life being a trucker while benge watching ice road truckers. He dreamed of one day getting the chance to ride his Harley Davidson just one more time. I was lucky enough to get the chance to go look at his bike and we put on a new battery on it he had me take it out to blow the dust off of it. As bad as he wanted to ride it he was grinning ear to ear watching and hearing his ol blackie roar down the street. After words we celebrated his happiness with a drive to the fancy long John silver fish house.
Tell Jeff Gregory I said and Rich y'all don't cause to much trouble up there u will be missed sir!
