Tribute to Tooshybrother. . . .

It's been a year since we lost tooshybrother. A poster who always brought joy and kind words to every post he made.

His name was Howard Spenser. sadly the link to his obituary no longer works.

@Okie4horns alerted us to his passing. He had no family at all. he played ball as Emporia State and somehow adopted not just the Horns but OB as his extended family. He spent the rest of his life teaching kids (might have been special needs kids) and passed at 50.

We were @tooshybrotha family. He was the last surviving son with no other relatives.

He poured all his love into his kids and into us.

This is from an update post from a year ago:

His minister handled his funeral as he had no one else. Spoke with the funeral director today. I'm REALLY sorry now I did not know this and didn't get a caravan to attend his funeral cuz I'd have made that road trip and I know a bunch of you would have been with me. @drunk randoke leaps to mind as does @Okie4horns , no wonder we couldn't find family.
So everyone knows, I printed off the 8 pages of rememberances of tooshy. I am binding it this weekend and sending it to his minister.

Minister let me know he appreciated the love OB showed him.

What a huge heart.

And sadly this week, we lost @Horn in OKC to colon cancer



Here is a link to 8 pages of tribute to his warm nature.

OT: Barrett Jackson Auctions. Anybody been?

My wife and I want to go as spectators for now. We watch on tv all the time. Some places they sell for so much more than others. I am not finished paying college expenses for our offspring, but in the next couple of years we hope to get some kind of classic. I wouldn’t spend any where near 50k and up, but we can dream, right? Personally, I would love a rough looking primered 50s car/truck with a hot rod engine, nice solid wheels and nice interior. Sure wohld be fun to drive with the wife in the upper valley of El Paso’s pecan orchard highway. Anybody else into this?

How to lose an election in five easy steps

1) Have an incumbent who is in his 80s, and looks and acts like it.

2) Be nervous he is going to have senior oopses and so avoid letting him actually talk. Only let him read scripts.

3) Have his VP be almost if not more unpopular than Hillary…but make sure she’s black so if you bypass her you lose your biggest base.

4) Now ignore the biggest issue that so many voters care about (the border), and let the other side frame the debate completely.

5) When you do finally decide to get around to doing something, use the exact same words the other side has been using. That way you make damn sure everything thinks you’ve been fiddling while Rome burns.

(Number 5 refers to Biden using the same language of “close the border” the right has for years. This is laying a softball on a tee for them…where were you up til now??”


I am a moderate Manchin-style Dem. This admin is MASSIVELY frustrating to me. Their “strategy” is to hope Trump gets convicted of something, and too late for the GOP to put someone else up.

This election begged for a younger and energetic person. Someone to get their ass to Eagle Pass and explain to the American people what’s going on, how the asylum law needs to be changed, and how he’s not going to stop until it does. And then tell Abbott to get his ****ing NG out of the way of the feds doing their jobs.

Take charge. Be a damn leader. But at 95 years old Biden can’t.

I’ll vote for the guy because he’s better than the terrible alternative. But damn, the Dems are just marching toward the cliff step by step and don’t seem to be capable of realizing what’s happening.
