***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

[ssmith general]

I just dug up that effing stump.  It was probably 4 feet around at least.  The stump of the tree I pushed over with the tractor when everyone flipped out.  Thats not the point though.  The point was that it was difficult, seemingly impossible.  I almost gave up several times.  The sun went down, I turned on the lights.  I was in the process of accepting that it was not coming out today, but kept digging and pushing.  Finally it went with a big rip.  I got what would be embarrassingly excited if anyone had seen me.  Something like Kirk Gibson hitting that cripple home run in the 88 series.  I hooked up the chain to it and drug it to the fire pit in the dark FTW.

Tell me if this is true or not? I heard from an old timer years ago at the hunting club, that for stumps, drill a hole in it and then put buttermilk in hole and plug it up. Said it causes stump to rot out fast. Anyone ever heard that?

I dont know about that.  I have heard you put saltpeter in them and leave it for like a year and then soak them in kerosene and burn them.  But I just dug it up in probably 2 hours.

I've heard of using buttermilk, but fertilizer works faster.  The rot comes from fungi, which are often limited in growth by nitrogen.  The fertilizer is a good source of nitrate.  Best to use 8-8-8 or other fertilizer with both phosphate and nitrate.

None of these works as well as Smitty's tractor. 

[Coach Hank Crisp]

In hopes of baiting WV back, here's a sweet young Alabama fan.  I wanted to post it before Smitty fell asleep.

Me likey. Good choice. RTR!!!

-TOO RISQUE-

I hope this pic is not to risky for CRS. Let me know and I will delete.

I don't think he is mad. I figure WV his alot going on right before football season and had to take care of it. He has no reason not to reply to my emails other than he is too busy or sick.


Two years ago I got sick. I had pneumonia in August 2009 and didn't know. The last thing I can remember is going to daughter's graduation at UA on August 9th. 2009. I was not feeling good all summer but was working and taking prednisone and antibotics my regular doctor had prescribed.

 I woke up in ICU. I was already in the hospital for 6 days when I woke up. Doctors at hospital kept me in ICU for 9 days and then another 5 days in a regular room. I didn't know why I was there when I came to. I first thought that I had been in a car wreck.

Dayum Coach! 

Yeah. That was the scary time. Doctors were giving me IV antibotics every 4 hours. I wasn't getting enough oxygen to think straight.  It scared my family bad.

Glad you pulled through ok. My MIL just went through the same thing last week. Doc said she was so oxygen depleted, she wouldn't have made it through the night. She's ok now.

[Chechem]

Coach, thanks for the story.  Scary how easily we can get ill and find ourselves at death's door.  Better be thankful for every day.

Sorry about the edit; too much.  But I enjoyed it while it lasted. 

[Coach Hank Crisp]

Chechem! You just deleted that picture.

Guess who's picture it was.










 Former Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi. 40 years ago.

Yeah. I couldn't believe it either.

A better question would be "What happened?"

Guess she got old.  Ever been to a high-school reunion?

BTW, I owe Crisp an e-cred.  Here: *

Yeah and none of my classmates looked like her. 

G'night guys.

[Chechem]

"Good night.  Have a Crimsonette."

[Coach Hank Crisp]

Good morning.

[Chechem]

Good morning.

"Good morning, Crisp."

Cool and dry outside today.

Yeap. It is starting to dip into the 60s during the night here. I love it. I listen to Dallas Wayne on XM's Outlaw Country. His show is out of Austin Texas. He was just talking about it cooling off out there after 70 something days of over a hundred degrees. Texas is in a serious drought statewide.

Good morning.
