Weve all heard of the 12 days of Christmas right? well Sug seems to have her own version of that I call it the month prior to Christmas, so far she's sweet talked me out of a pair of shoes a sweater a blouse a pair of sexy shorts (my idea not hers) 2 pairs of boots and a cell phone and 2 of those gifts were in November and its now only the 21st.....ok so she did give me a gun early but hey I needed that!..anyway Merry Christmas peace and love to all of you

6 more days.......that is all, carry on.

Some of you or may not have noticed the lack of our presence around here much this past year but no worries all is well in the Hillbilly home and to say its been a whirlwind of a year is the understatement of the year but then again to say we're not as busy as we've ever been or as happy and full of love for each other well that's the understatement of the century

Let me break this down really quick in its condensed form
4 bikes done and sold, 2 trailers the same, added on to the shop, bought Sug an SUV (that she hated but didn't want to say it lol) gone and taken care of, 2 pools? I might have kinda made a hole in the first one, shhhhh. Had her Dad and step mom up for her birthday, great folks btw, Sug FINALLY got the house the way she wants it (this week lol) we will see how long this lasts and yes Pier one your welcome! Finally got all properties settled with the ex which fyi good ol hillbilly tactics trumps high paid lawyers every time had an awesome thanksgiving dinner, finishing up deer season here in a successful way, and today Sug comes home with a Christmas tree and a new shorter hair style which is about as sexy as it gets...phew! but now its all coming together for us, were happy, healthy, and couldn't be more in love, but all of this means nothing if it wasn't for having the woman I love more than life itself standing by my side hopefully for eternity

before anyone judges me or thinks this is sounding like I'm bragging know this about me, I'm just a man that has spent a good portion of my life searching for happiness at the bottom of a bottle or other habits I'm not proud of or care to mention here or anywhere else for that matter, well you haven't taken the time to really get to know me, I'm just a man who for the first time in his life knows what real love is and how special it is to have the love of the one person in the world that gives it freely and unconditionally to a very grateful man

Stopping in to check on things and friends its been a while but summer is my busy time so got to get it when I can. (work ya buncha pervs) wont be long until the bike shop slows down for winter and Sug and me will be back here to bug the hell out of all of you again until then hope all is well for all of you and cya soon, laters Hillbilly

Busy days ahead and little time to do it all so free time is precious,
Had a good run over the years on the site, met the love of my life she somehow managed to save me from myself and showed me how to love unconditionally even kicked the alcohol for a while, made some great friends and saw some things that unless you too were on atm nobody would believe without seeing it firsthand
Even exposed a certain POS here for what he really is and always will be....a POS *nod nod nod* some believed, some didnt and some were already suspicious of it, others sadly will learn the hard way I guess
All in all it was an awesome ride and glad over 5 years ago I came to check out some pics and somehow ventured over to status land and never looked back, been one hell of a ride
Leaving? who knows,deleting? meh not till the premium expires paid good money for this ticket, if ya wanna keep in touch its not that hard to do if ya dont thats cool too but for now this "ol Hillbilly" has a full tank of gas and is riding off into the sunset........laters

So some of you know about the water crisis where we live today is day 7 and is it getting better? you decide I'm too confused at this point
Thursday Jan-9- 2:15pm
An emergency text comes to my phone from local news as follows- A chemical spill was discovered earlier today but poses no danger officials say

Thursday Jan-9- 5:30 (approx) All hell breaks loose all media advises DO NOT DRINK,BATHE,OR USE WATER IN ANY WAY OTHER THAN FLUSHING OF TOILETS OR FIREFIGHTING

Friday Jan-10- no water in stores to be found, all restaurants ordered closed as well as schools and any business requiring water to operate

Wednesday Jan-15- 6:15am water is restored in some areas, were advised and instructed as to proper procedure to flush water supply lines in our homes after which water consumption may be restored and used as usual and that the licorice smell which was how the spill was originally discovered was nothing to be concerned about

Later throughout the day weve been ordered to boil water before consuming
The last warning was if pregnant do not use the water

The WVDHHR made an announcement stating an all clear with no health risk was given by WV American Water Co, and NOT by local or state health agencies

Sounds to me like corporate greed with no regard to health and welfare

Today is day 3 since the chemical spill that contaminated the river where our drinking water comes from and over 300,000 are without water, were told use our water to flush toilets and for fire fighting only! no drinking,laundry or bathing and no end in sight as of todays press conference....heres where it gets bad

Sug went to a local fire dept to get water that had been donated she came back and told me 2 men in a truck were -SELLING- water at the end of our street

In my true hillbilly form I saw green and pretty sure I popped a few buttons on my shirt when she told me this so I jump in the truck and proceeded to go see these bottom feeders, I pull in beside the drivers door roll down my window the driver of the other truck looks at me and asks if Im interested in some water,,sure I'll TAKE 5 gallons, sure he says its $2.00 a gallon plus $5.00 for the jug folks thats $3.00 a gallon for water!......and thats when all hell broke loose, REALLY!? are these assholes really this fucking stupid? after at least 3 minutes of me calling him and his partner every no good low life SOB I could get my tongue to I asked and went as far as to beg both of them to get out of the truck which they didnt the chicken shit bastards! now I know what your thinkin "damn hillbilly not too smart jumping on 2 men and your alone", well no problem have you ever looked in a bikers truck before? in the back or behind the seat? trust me both of them together wouldnt have had a snowballs chance in hell lol. so to end my story and sum this up they were from Atlanta Georgia and THOUGHT they were coming here to make money on people during a crisis....WRONG! I followed/chased them out of my town and feel very confident they wont be back any time soon

All in all I have to applaud our local Governor,Businesses and definitely the National Guard for doing all they can to make this better the company responsible for the spill has made no apologies or excuses for the accident but thats fine their day is coming for sure

We would like to thank each and every one of our friends old and new for the love and support you all have shown throughout the year whether it was via texts pm's or calls you were always there when it counted most

We hope none of you never have to face some of the things we've endured this past year but know that no matter what we will always be here to offer support any way we can

Thank you all...Howlin and Sugar

Thanks to Tux and all the others who bring us Christmas
