Hey dayhiker

“Hey fellow Sipsey hiker. I was Sandy with the wet tent. I'm currently over here in Iraq with the army. How,s it going? I figured I had been away long enough that I needed a new trail name. So steppenwolf it is. And hello to mds. hiker too!”

“Hey steppenwolf. Glad to hear from you. I was in Pensacola a couple of weeks ago. On the way home I saw the exit to Atmore and thought about you. You still hopeing to retire to Dunlap?

Stay safe.”

“If I survive Iraq, I have 15 acres just north of Chattanooga, 2 miles from the river, 15 miles from Cleveland, with hiking and rafting to my hearts content in every direction.”

“That sounds great. When are you coming home?

We'll have to meet up at Savage Gulf for a hike. I'm 2 hrs from Chattanooga and 3 from the Gulf.”

“good luck and keep your head down....we talk about you from time to time, and your indoor swimming pool.”

“Hey OPIE, How,s this for irony? There is a swimming pool right outside my door here in Saddam's palace. It is totally trashed. I look forward to a hike with you all. Where are you living now? When I get back and get my place built in Tennessee, I am put a serious hike together. Course if yall want to hike Iraq, me and Sgt. Rock could guide yall.”

“Roll Tide!”

“Dang straight, Buddha.”

“How many arrests did your team have in the off season? We had 2.”

“WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!! Hey, our daughter is in her last year of vet school. She can doctor on me. Course if I break my leg, she will have to put me down.”

“We had a pretty low arrest rate, but then, we didn't win many ballgames. I hear OSU has had lots of offseason arrest.

wolf - last week Tubby was quoted on the radio about his play at the Bruno's golf tourny as saying something to the effect that he was playing so poorly that he kept waiting to see a plane leave for Louisville any second. Talk about a b1tch slap to the admin on that comment.”

“Get this Dayhiker, one of the alabama state troopers that follows Tubby around at the game is in Iraq as an MP.”
