Young men wanted A convoy of d-6’s cats and lowboys with huge tires emerged through the woods in a cloud of red clay dust .There they were met with d-35 and 65’s graders ,haulers and Bull dozers all assembled for shipment to the coast . I spotted a man I knew and pulled my four wheeler ATV over to his rig and idled the motor while clutching peanut with one arm on the front seat . “Whar y’all going “ I shouted over the din of all the engines. The men were all sweating in the 90 deg heat ,filthy from pulling rigs off forestry jobs .There cowboy work boots caked in mud We shouted to each other over the noise “Were due on the coast Monday ,but I can’t get there till Weds …..;there is no place for anyone to stay .(a dozer ambles past) "So were rigging 40 man trailers with cots allowing two showers and two commodes “ at either end …..were hiring men who can work . ..wanna come ? “ he said grinning I waved him off Im having trouble holding on to my own young guys Everywhere it’s the same Equipment busting loose for the coast .

I told him I would work on it but cautioned him that it was going to cost an arm and a leg just to get the hootch down and delivered there e as all the bridges were out With that he pulled back a blanket on the truck and showed me a couple of cases of “shine” "were working on a trailer load of this stuff ,and you can use it to run your compressor on if there is no gas ..." he said with a twinkle A tent city is forming off gulf port,and by all accounts it’s a Hooverville of all sorts of twenty something's , adventures ,day labors ,bikers , slap jack carpenters, road gangs , guys with equipment guys with compressors ,field kitchens ,whores , home made bars and even a barbers tent. I asked in jest if I could get a tooth pulled and my friend said "yeah , I think at the bar tent". If I wore a younger mans clothes I would go in a heart beat ,but Peanut wouldn't hear of it and the Mrs has already threatened to have my bags at the door If I try any shenanigans I have to go there in a week so I will know more then Mon...
