I'll help anyone out, my best buddy always said, add a person add a problem. I've lost two good friends and my best dog in the last few years. And to be honest I don't have the time or energy to have anymore.
Life is good live it while you can.

I refuse to have a friend that's down on his luck or having health problems.
Just too annoying.

I have two friends that would roll with me if we were pretty damn sure we weren't coming back. Might be three, working on another now. A man doesn’t need too many if the ones he has are exceptional. At another level, my wife is that loyal, and would die right next to me if it came to us. Hell, she lives right next to me, dying there would be easier.
Man with a family like Jim’s shouldn’t be in any danger. He’s got it all to live for. Those kids, hell, I don’t even know them, but I would be running to help if they needed it. Smiles like that are too precious. Parents have to be good folks, and are in my good folks list.

Worst part of retirement for me. Loss of my tribe. So alone. All I do is push forward, survive. You should have been a Toolmaker. All of our tribe is azzholes. And I thought it was just me.

I blame it on the Corony virus.
That must be why no one invites us to these otherwise well attended parties.... Jim this virus has changed allot of things. We used to have family here at our house for Sunday dinner. Now they won't get out. Don't want me around either. I think the virus has been an excuse at times though. I am on one side of many things some of my family dislikes. I'm conservative and believe in making my own way so the current slime in charge really bothers me. They know that and that's why the stay away. I've decided staying away is fine now. Then the friend part. I might have more than I realize. Most likely you do too. All this political stuff happening has stressed that. I haven't changed though and don't understand why they have or seem to. But the clincher is looking ahead. I see our nation in for a bad time and our values are under attack. It's okay for a pervert to go into the girls bathroom but if I drag the dirty piece of trash out by the hair of the head I likely get arrested. Sometimes I feel like my world is closing in all around me. What do I do, I take long walks and talk with God about it. That's been my refuge for years. When it all breaks loose and the shooting starts we'll likely be on the same side. Grandpa used to tell me to be encouraged. I'll pass that on from him to you.

I prefer to keep my association with others distant and superficial these days. Lack of a social circle doesn't bother me one bit.
You have a pretty wife, a Labrador retriever and an 8N Ford tractor to drive to the liquor store and some broken shot guns needin' some fixin'. You have it all. kwg

FWIW I have Jim's address on file(on a box in my garage) and if anyone is interested in sending a care package I would be more than happy to share it with strangers. I got something I can send him. #slightlyused lol Prepaid UPS shipping! I have one of those kits just waiting for action. Me too! Had it for two weeks now. Keep thinking I need to do it, but, "Awwww schdit, it can wait!"

Having an abrasive personality, I had few friends for years. My folks used put a beef bone in my pocket so the dogs would play with me. But then I got a nice ocean going fishing boat...wow, had friends beatin' my door down.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Hey Jim,
it's not so bad that you've been out to the garden to eat worms, is it?

I stole that off my neighbor’s porch. I was going to drop a giant 3 day tylenol log in it and go put it on his porch all sealed back up.
LOL
I got a c-scopy last summer.

Seems to me there's some Hi Line Cabin Fever here. But that first whiff of warm dirt is just days away.

The sad part of all of this is - You can't go out and make new friends, with everybody wearing masks.
I tried, but we just ended up robbing a bank.
