OK, for once I can report some good news about life up here on the mountain top. I got one of those damn 4-wheelers up and going. Now to wait a week and see what goes wrong with it next. My boys is gonna be one hell of a pain in the ass to do though I think.

And I do hope that the blazer will be done soon. I talked to the guy and he said it was to be done yesterday?? Don't ask, cuz I don't know.A day later and its still not here.

So now I am going to get camp done up. I got the camper moved out to the spot, so now I just have to try to not bust a nut and square it up. That should be about fun. I have a nice stack of wood and a nice size cleared. So all I have to take out now is the fire ring and I'ma gonna be ready. Cold beer, hot dogs, good friends, and long nights. The one funny thing about us mountain top people, is that camp is never too far from home. ours is only about a mile. That way when The better half has to "GO" she can just scoot home. She already said she ain't gonna use no leaves!! That might be a wise choice, poison ivy is not good for the bum!!

So until the next time...

Big Man Out

I am so tired of getting stuck with other peoples JUNK. It never seems to fail. A few years ago I was talked into buying a 4-wheeler that was to be so damn good...HA HA HA. Welp, it sat for a year and a half due to not running. So after a new back axle, rear hub, and bearings, not to forget 375 in part cost, I got it back. It runs for a week, and guess what, now the front ball joint snaps!! So knowing that it's in rough shape I think I best replace all 4 of them, another 100-150 in parts.

Also, a few months back, I had got my boy his first. Just a off brand 250 to learn on. I was told it had low hours and was just like new. To look at it you knew it was taken care of and the gent I got it from was someone ya thought who knew what he was talking about. But Guess what, its another hunk of JUNK. Between a short somewhere in it that keeps draining the battery, and just about 10 minutes ago now the rear is locked up. With it being an off brand china piece of shit, who knows what that is gonna cost me!!

But ya'll really wanna know what the kicker to this whole week has been? Welp, I was in my Blazer running around trying to get some stuff done and in order for this long weekend of non stop bliss, it dies! I am stuck in an area with no cell service, and only able to use a phone to make local calls. Welp where I live at , if you dont call the person next door to ya, its long distance!!, so I had to sit there for 2 and a half hours.

But on a good note, I got to see the new Jones movie!! All day yesterday the kids, and us cleaned up the whole out side and then just had a good night out on the town. So I am glad one thing turned out to be good.

So to ya'll out there, I hope its a good weekend and ya'll are safe about it.

Big Man Out

Lemme tell ya, I just went and filled up a 5 gallon can of gas, man oh man did I get a shock. $22.41, can ya'll believe that. $3.90 a gallon now. I'ma gonna have to sell crack or weed soon to make ends meet soon!

And on the afternoon news, I just heard that a power station had over 6 grand of metal stolen over night. Its getting bad people. YA'll best stand up soon.

Big Man Out

It was to be our first vacation (a real one) in almost 6 years, and do ya know what we had to do?? CANCEL it due to these damn gas prices! Now I am just a bit more pissed off at our lovly goverment who is ramming ya'll and I a new one!

So instead of the family sitting on a beach in the sun, we are now forced to stay on top of the mountain and pretty much do what we always do...Nothing.

So what do ya'll wanna talk about tonight?I got a few Buds in me, and a fresh chaw of Cope and I'ma ready to go.

Wanna talk about music?

How about trucks?

No?

Then lets talk about what the hell is wrong with people.

If you are gonna tell someone that you you are gonna do something for them, I say you best do it for them. Don't let them hanging like two day old laundry on the line!!!

This here might be the beer talking a bit , but I'ma really pissed off at the moment. I spent half the day yesterday and all day today waitin on some one to do something that they said they would do for me and guess what, no show no call nothing. So yeah I'ma PISSED! To say the least. I try my best to stay to my word and if I cant then I do know how to pick up a phone and dial the damn thing.

I just might be a tad bit too old school for alot of ya'll out there but I don't forget where I came from and how I was raised!! It is all about being HUMAN I thought. Maybe not. It seems that most just wanna worry about themselves and screw anyone who gets in the way.

And ya'll wanna know something else that really bugs the shit outta me...Too bad, I'ma gonna tell ya anyways.

Its when you go to buy something off someone and its just a huge slab of JUNK!!! Why is it that people pawn this shit off on others?? HUH??

It just seems I get stuck with the best off it. First a Harley and the not just one but two 4-wheelers!!! One of them is half the reason I am pissed now. I get a phone cal on Friday saying its done and we'll go get it and now 2 days later and a 12 pac later, its still not here!!! And the other part of it is that its one of the 4-wheelers that is gonna cost me $400.00. The other one who knows what the hell its gonna cost. Gotta wait to get one back to send the other one out ya know.

Sorry to vent on ya'll, but I just had to get that shit outta me before I popped!!!

Big Man Out

Hey out there, lets see if I can get under someones skin. I bet ya I can!

Lets start this out by talking about the rising cost of life

How many of you out there can still afford to go to work with the gas prices the way they are?Almost $4.00 a gallon here. But what are our so called leaders doing about it? Welp, from where I sit and The way I see it NOTHING!!

And how about the cost of just going to the store to get some grub? Have ya'll noticed how much it has all gone up? Pretty soon we wont be known as a FAT nation... why.... Cuz we wont be able to afford to eat.

And energy cost? ya'll are going to have to sit in the dark pretty soon. Or go back to useing candles.In 2010, the cap comes off. Do ya'll know what that means? It means about a 50% higher bill that ALL of us are going to have to dish out!!

So pretty soon , the way its going, unless ya'll rae rich and can spend without thinking, we are heading back to the time of shooting and growing food, early to bed and early to rise(sunset and sunrise), and riding a mule to work.

To tell ya'll the truth it just shows how much in a whole, that we as Americans are just stupid. No one will stand together to fight the stronghold that is all working against us. Millions of ya'll just want to stand back and whine and bitch about it all. But what is being done about it? NOT A DAMN THING!!!

Dont just sit on your ass and talk about it. We ALL should be standing together taking a stand on it. We all could go with using less fuel, driving less, shutting off lights, all of the things that fatten up their wallets while ours shrink!!!

Why should we be making all these companys richer by the day!!!???

Come on People, open your eyes and see just what the hell is going on.

Big Man Out

OK... Just in case ya'll forgot who I was, that there is me. I'ma Big Redneck in this here Small World!

I done did been a busy man over the winter and to let ya know the truth I done did forgot about this place. Dont really matter, no one ever looks any ways....HA HA

I gave up the world of trucking with the special People, or should I say they gave up on me, no loss to me. I do miss the people but thats about it. The bosses that are higher up can kiss my fuzzy redneck ass for all I care!!!

Got my self a job plowing the roads this winter, wanna talk about interesting!!! I never knew how bad the roads was till I was the one who had to take care of them!!! Got to work with some really good guys and got to make a couple good friends over the winter.

I think that I'ma gonna try to keep up with this here for a bit. Maybe put a smile or two on the faces that do look this over. I have many a tale to tell, and I do like tellin em.

So until then, and until I can make some shit up

BIG MAN OUT

Sorry about the begining of that last post... It was to say the truth will set you free. I have no clue on how it ended up clear down on the bottom like that. As my luck would have it...... its just another screw up that I seem to be able to do so well.

But I do think I have hit a personal all time low in my lfe. For once I thought I was doing good. Keeping everything in check... guess not. About the only noise I hear is the fan in the tower right now.

Earlier I was able to look across the front hall and see her sleep. I thought of all we have been thru and the stupid things that we put each other thru. Then I thought of the last 11 years. Just like everything eles and everyonr eles... there have been good, bad, rotten and pure bliss. But ya know what..... I wouldnt give it up for nothing. It could all end today and I wouldnt have a bad thing to say about it.

Amy I do try... I try just for you.

Big Man Out

They say the truth will s....... BULLSHIT! Its a sad ass day when one tells it like it is and it still bites you in the butt! I'm no angel, but I do try to keep a straight and narrow line in life. I've been wrong, done wrong and have tried to do my best to make it all right. But some days it seems no matter how or what it is I do......... its never right or good enough.

Maybe thats not the right way to feel or how to act on it, but when you try so hard and then you are doughied... it hurts.

We all do this and it will be done till i am dead and gone. Whats that you ask.... Bring up the past. First thrown at me , then thrown back. Should it be done ... not at all. Cause after you do it and think of how stupid it was, its way too late. The damage is done and soaking in for the next time. But what can you do about it? Really nothing I guess.

So why am I telling this to who ever is out there.... To try to stop you before you do it. or at least make you think before you do it again.

If you and your other half is trying to start over and make things work, put a little trust out there for them before its too late. The pain that is causes is not worth the years of heartache its going to create.

And if you dont think you are going to be able to trust some one again, just come right out and tell them. Dont hide fasle feelings. Dont go looking to find faults. We all know that no one is perfect and we all have things we have done wrong. Starting today I am going to do my best to let the past be the past. There is not one damn thing I can do about it and I sure as hell cant go back in time and change anything. But one thing I have been doing is "trying" to look forward. some days its so easy to do and others I wonder if there will be one.

I guess what it comes down to is true love. If you have it, your going to do great things even after the bumps in the road. If you dont, the ride could be a rocky one.

So if "you" ever read this.... I'm sorry.

I told you the complete truth and was all open and honest. I hid nothing and refuse to since we agreed to work this marriage out.

and for the rest of you... live life to the fullest. Dont let money or other people bring you down. All things come to those who have the time to wait. And trust a little...... its not hard.et you free

Big Man Out

I really dont know if anyone out there was ever readding this so called blog, but I thought I would just start it up again for the hell of it. Well.... ok its just going to be a good place for me to tell my stupid stories and vent out. And do I ever have to start doing that more.
Some things in life I cant do with out just as long as it dont get in the way with a normal life. Like a work spouse...... yes you read that right. No, I dont have one and do not want one. Kinda hard when you drive truck..... unless I can count the high-way. And so far she has been good to me.
Its pretty bad when ......... I'll just let it at that..... Its just bad.
So for those of you that do look in to see if I have ever been back , how are ya?

Hey out there.....

Are ya all still alive???

I am , thought I better let ya all know that...LMAO

Big Man Out

Well kidos, I hate to burst the bubble of alot of ya all out there...but I met Santa! And he aint nothing like we thought he was. He is not some big ol' dude with white hair and a beard. Nope, he is some skinny runt with tan skin and black hair. And this little dude dont even drive a sled with those deer we always hear about, nope, I kid you not, he drives a big ol' Kenworth with a trash box.

But in his defence, he is one hell of a nice guy. Thanx for the help the help the other day Santa!!I'll drink a Bud for ya...

But anyways its that time of year again. Ya'all know what I am talking about. The time you pull out that piece of lint from your wallet and wonder where the hell that 20 went that you had. Then you remeber that it went on that 19.99 game that your kids just had to have that they will play once and lose half the parts to it and then you never see it again till you are pulling out that sharp thing out of you heel due to stepping on it in the middle of the night while trying ti find the light switch as you are beging to do the downward fall on the steps and going to crash oh so hard to the bottom where you find the other lost part due to it sticking in your head!

WOW, I thought all that in one breath!

But you know in the long run it was one of the best 20's you spent cuz you seen the happiness in their eyes that morning when it was opened

so with all that BS said, ya all best get off your butts and start shopping or its gonna be here before ya know it

Big Man Out

For most of you out there, ya'll heard about the shooting that happened down river from us up here on the mountain. Those poor little Amish girls in that one room school house. My heart goes out to them and the familys.

But that is not what I really wanted to talk about tonight, nope, what I want to tell ya about is a group of people who take a lot of shit for their life style, who indeed made a great impact on that little town.

The Bikers

As a biker myself, I have seen the everyday evil of people, you can even ask my wife. A few years back, I laid down my scoot. Didnt really get hurt, but thats not the idea. The handle bars were snapped off, bent the fender, and cracked the side of my jug off the road. Now, do you think anyone stopped?

NOPE!!!!

People were turning their heads as soon as we came into sight. No one stopped to ask if we needed help or if we was ok. Just by luck we was riding with someone eles who went to get help and a truck to get us and the scoot home.

That brings me to my point tonight. Did ya'll see the turnout of the bikers who was rasing money for those familys? It was a great sight to be seen. I knkow alot of ya'll out there think of us as dirtbags and trouble makers and that we can be, I aint denying that one, but we are a great group of brothers and sisters.

As a trucker/biker/redneck...my hat goes off to ya'll how went out and helped

This Buds for you

Big Man Out

Ya know, I gotta big question for ya all. What the hell ever happened to manners??? I done did think they flew out the window. Someone just opened up a window and said "your free, run you little manners, run like the wind".

If I have one more young punk let a door go loose in my face I think I am going to have to make em a door stop for a day. And what ever happened to thank you, please, and all the other things ya is to say??

Can ya tell me PLEASE

Oh, and not let forget "the wave". YA should know what I mean. Its what ya do when some one lets you pull out or walk in front of them. For now on, no wave, you get the big bird! And I dont mean that 7 foot yellow thing on TV either. The short little stuby one that is in the middle of my hand!

But enough of that shit, lets move on.

BIG MAN OUT

Hey out there.....how is it going??? Long time to write on my end. I was told I was a bad "blogger".......OPPS!!

So whats new ...not a hell of a lot. Just working and trying to control the road rage.

And that is what its going to be about tonight...

STUPID PEOPLE

Does any one out there who does not drive a 80,000 pound land missle know how hard it is for us drivers to stop on a dime???

Let me tell ya

IT DONT HAPPEN!!!

Stop pulling out in front of me, and then giving me the finger when I get up on the ass end of your little sissy, yuppie, suv or car. If ya is gonna pull out ya better know what the hell you are doing and get the lead out.

And just to let some of ya know, if you cant see the side mirrors...

I CANT SEE YOU

But thats enough about that.

But as long as I am talking about people who dont seem to be able to think fast enough to keep up with the rest of the world...

If ya cant sing, ya dont have to prove to us.

Standing in line at a local fuel stop, I can hear a decent new song playing, when all of the sudden I hear a noise that sounds like someone just stepped on a kittens tail mixed with the dying sounds of a cow. Here it was the guy in front of me trying his best to sing along with the song. At first I was about the hit the ground cuz I thought some one just got shot, then I was trying to cover my ears before my brain turned to mush and came out my ears. But it didnt seem to matter what I did, all I could hear was the sound of this guys death song.

The guy couldnt carry a tune in a bucket to save his life was bad enough, but he didnt even know the words!!!

THAT WAS BAD

But anyways, till next time

Big man out

OK People, I am back for another round of who knows what the hell I might say next. Went into the bigger town down the road, and really had to think hard of what smart assy thing I could say today, and ya know what........I COULDNT THINK OF ANYTHING!!

But ya know, I just Did!

I live in "Redneckville"...no dought about it. People around here use more lumber on truck beds than they do for a house. In fact, one might say, "If you truck has more wood on it than your house, you might be a redneck...(Theres a new one for ya Jeff!) But aint it funny how us here rednecks are the blunt of Jokes, that are very funny I have to add, but how many people are wanting to be like us.

IT DONT WORKTHAT WAY

It takes more than a flannle shirt, and a pair of stained jeans to be one of us. Oh and lets not forget the "Pre-greased" ballcap ya can buy at the local "stuff*mart". See, being redneck takes no money what so ever, its a lifestyle, not a fashion statement. Ya know what I mean.The beat up truck is a good start,but is that true rust on that door? Ya dont even really need to have a gun in that gunrack, its there to hang ya fishing hat, hunting hat, CB wires, and if ya have a rear window that opens....To dry the shirt that you fell in the creek on!! And the truck bed is not to have a cap on it. How the hell are ya to see the starts if that is one there???Oh and not forget tail- gating...that is to be done when two or more of ya all get together around the fire telling the bullshit stories of the day.

So for all of you

WANNA-BE'S....

NO 'BUD" FOR YOU!!!

Big Man OUT!!!

Ya know, I got to thinking earlyer today about life , and the things that people fear the most. Everyone is different, Some dont like "spiders"...Yeah, I mean you(you know how you are). Some dont like snakes, even knowing that they are about the best pets one can get.And I will admitt it, I HATE BATS!!!

But ya wanna know what really makes me poop my weiner.....that big lady at the beach who does not know that one size fits all Does not fit her! And the guy who she is with that has a few too many six packs hidden above his belt wearing the speedo. You know the ones I mean, their kids are the ones kicking sand all over your blanket and in your last bottle of Bud that you just opened. And the mother....The one who can get the attention of every kid in and out of the water .....BUT NOT HER OWN!!! While Bubba the lobster bakes in the sand passed out.

As you know I drive the big trucks you all love to hate, the other thing that makes me wanna hide in the outhouse is old people driving. The little blue haired lady in the big ass lead sled, and the only thing you can see is that tuff of blue hair and two sets of knuckles on the wheel!!Lets not forget the old man who is trying to remeber how or why he is in the local "Stuff*mart" parking lot.

Welp...untill next time....

Big Man out

Five years ago we was hit....hit hard. But we stood back up and brushed the dirt off us and got back on our feet. Yeah, it still hurts, and probally will for years to come. But let me tell ya, this here big redneck couldnt be more proud to be an American! I still feel the pain for all those people that we lost, and the hundreds of families who lost thier loved ones.

If ever in your life you wanted to see a big man bawl like a baby it would it been today. Watching the tube today, reliving the day that I will never be able to forget, it happened. I dont know how those people stood up on that stage and read those names out. And seeing those two mountains of buildings fall again, my heart sank. And thinking of all those ladies and gents we lost while they was trying to save the others trapped, its enough to make me wanna bawl again.

Lets not forget those who are over seas trying to find the ass who started all this bullshit. What hell they have to face day in and day out just so we remain free and so it dont go happening again!My heart goes ot to ya'all! This Buds For You!!

I just want to say a big 'ol thank you to all you Vets out there. One thing you all know all too well, is...

that freedom is not free

So on this day and every day,

THANX

Even knowing how hard it is for some out there, I hope ya'all know that you have one Big Ass Redneck right here thinking of ya!

Welp, Here goes nothing! I thought I would try what everyone eles is doing and do a "BLOG". Nothing like a redneck playin' on the web huh?

Where to start...

Well, one thing ya might want to know is that I am a trucker. Ya know what I mean,18 wheels, big rig, Big Mutha Trucker, and the list goes on. I guess you could say I have it good, I get to see the states and other interesting things and get paid for it.

The company I work for I will keep to my self, but its an interesting one at that. I work with a group of people that are truly special!

Whats next you should know??

Welp, I am a family man. A great wife of 10 years and two wonderful children. We all are pretty much a group of rednecks. From truck pulls to monster trucks, and Hawgs to tattoos, and lets not forget bonfires and a case of "Bud"(thats mine). We are about as redneck as it gets.

Living in the middle of nowhere, on top of the PA mountains, we have it great. Up here I am able to walk in my undies and piss around the corner outside...I know you wanted to know that!

Welp, for the first time of trying this I think I am done for the night. I just done did had enough of trying to find the right keys and letters on this thing. Keep looking and reading, ya never know what just might pop up here ............Later
