I wear a thin chain with my dead father's dog tag from Vietnam under my shirt. I cared enough to post a response, but not enough to lose sleep over someone else's opinion. ...

re: Any of y’all been to the Angola Rodeo?

Posted by Fast Eddie on 3/3/23 at 10:31 am

I went 12 years ago. Get there early enough to get a decent parking spot. Make sure to check out the lifers selling their arts & crafts... some good stuff to be found and some absolutely fascinating conversations with the guys willing to talk. The rodeo itself was pretty fun excluding the baw...

re: For those of you who lost your father, how old were you when he passed?

Posted by Fast Eddie on 1/10/22 at 9:41 am

47. He passed away at age 72 last April. He had been declining physically for a few years, so it wasn't a complete shock. It still gutted me, though. Some days, the only things that keep me going is my wife and kid. Also, I can imagine him yelling at me to pull it together. :lol:...
