Red necks galore !

you know you live next to red necks when ...
ok so at about 300 this afternoon the next door neighbors started to get the wood pile ready for tonight's burn . they gather all the four wheelers the beer and the trucks .stand around the burn barrel and hoot and holler drive down to the crick(creek) at the back and do Lord know what.and i am sure He wishes he didnt .
they have their kids running around while they drink and pile on more and more wood .the doors and window on all the trucks are open and mostly all in tune to the same country station .but that really does not matter cause the dont know all the words by 10:00 anyway
i actually had to asked them to find out who was woo- hooing the loudest and have them try to keep it down a bit.they said sure and then offered me some moonshine .NO LIE .moonshine !
uncle Jessie and the duke brothers are alive and doing business in GA
they are really really nice people ,they just cant all afford the sleeves or sides of their shirts.
one of there buds was riding back from the crick down the dirt road on the other side of our house and thought that they would cut across our back yard to get to the burn barrel and then saw the fence.they almost got stuck but they managed to get back on the road - i almost lost what fence i have .
i can understand the confusion ,they may not recognize a fence ,lots of people down here dont have them .they got dogs just not the fence .dont ask me --
big C will go over and hang out with the "necks" some of the time -free beer fun gang ,interesting stories .and man you should have seen him move when he found out there was moonshine !
i have heard a rumor that the "necks" are going to get him his own barrel - Heaven help me
i have to tell you that even with all the colorfulness they are still quieter and nicer then the folks next door to us in Texas - they will keep it down or try to when asked and i have not met a nicer bunch .wouldn't trade 'em for nuthin !

Leslie....this isnt as bad as you thought. This is actually very funny. Are you sure you don't have some secret hidden talent?
