Tyger's New Ryan Ross Bonnet

[tyger]

Sure! Socks should sashay southwest soon.

Pleasantly and patiently poised, postured, and prepared. Please proceed.

Small world. My brother-in-law, Scott, is the senior pastor in the New Life Community Church, a short mule-ride up the road in Clayton, I believe. He and his wife live in Tiger.

I get my Mayhaw Jelly from the Hillside Orchard Farms, and for the longest time have wanted to get one of those egg breakfast sandwiches from the Tiger Food Mart. Do they still sell them?

John

Good news about your brother. Yes, I can hitch the pair and take the back way over Black Rock Mountain, drop in, and get some good words from him.

We used to own the Mayhaw Tree business, and sold it to Robert Mitcham (HOF) who now does the jelly.

I don't eat out much, and the woman that is/used to run the kitchen put me off the one time I had breakfast there, so I have not been back.

Scott isn't one of those dour, somber, "preachy" types. He's a good, fun-loving guy, likes to play golf, and tells a good joke. If you ever run into to him, tell him "John from Los Alamos" says "hello". It'll set him to wonderin'. Then you can have all kinds of "fun" with him, eg make up a good spoof.

Feel free to use me as the butt of the joke. He'll like it even better. Tell him we were drinking tequila in a bar in Tularosa one night, got mad at each other, and you beat me up, etc. etc., or whatever you want.

Robert Mitcham!? You mean the guy who starred in "Thunder Road"?! They seem like pretty good folks, on the phone anyway. I buy six jars at a time from them to amortize the shipping cost.

Too bad about your experience at Food Mart. I've never been in the place, but would like to go sometime. If I ever get out to Tiger, I'll run up with Scott and we'll try to find Tyger Forge, so we can drop by and get a first-hand look at that bonnet. Don't set the dogs on us.

You will not find the Forge. Not on the map. No signs. No phone. No address. No road that you can see. No way for you to get there. Robert Mitcham does not even know where it is.

It is a refuge of peace and quiet. Perchance you might hear the ringing of a hammer across the ridge, but it would have to be a chance. Even then you would not find it.

One must pass the debris of 3 old stills getting to it, yet that will not come to pass.

[Ryan Ross]

Nah! Goats.

Well if you decide to start trying to grow some wool, let me know.

Mark... You're the man. Mysterioso just don't cut it.

Growing sheep, shearing, just too much other stuff to do- can't do it all. I used to pack wool once a year. Tough work for a kid. It paid 50 cents a bag, and you got a bonus if the bag weighed 300 pounds or more.

Yeah, I am trying to become invisible. Pretty much any way. One of these days......POOF!..........

Aye, not enough hours in the day, I suppose.

I hear you there; why do you think I have no Facebook page?

Off the grid is the only place to be.

Sounds like all we have to do is follow the "old moonshine trail". I'll put Scott's bloodhound nose on it.

My wife's family farm in north Florida has the remnants of her daddy's still "down by the riverside".

Oh yeah! Running blockade. The good old days. Fixin' to return. That is why I am.....................invisible.

Yeah Ryan, I have a Tyger Forge facebook page but I am sure that I don't check it once a month. What is WRONG with me?

[mookien]

I hope not. You may be wrong, but you may be right. ... Isn't that the name of an old "Boss" song?

Maybe you're just too busy doing stuff that matters.
