Funny enough……. I found most parts of an old still in the loft of my barn.

Fun facts: (and I do mean facts)
Everyone knows who Buford Pusser is. He crashed and burned just a couple miles from his house (plaque there now) which is just a couple miles from the house you are talking about.

OK, lot’s of people know the “events” that happened from watching the old movie Walking Tall. Most of that shit was made up, and what they didn’t tell you is that ‘Ol Buford was just part of the “other” side. Just two different factions selling shine, and Buford pushed a little too hard. Most locals think that’s who caused his “accidental” brake failure.

Oh, and BTW, a good friend who grew up there, told me he used to get sent over to Bufords Paw house to get a quart of shine. I have no reason not to believe it.

And for one more local fact: (I could tell you dozens), Way back when, if you happened to be black and were hired to pick crop at seasons end, your ass better be out of Morris Chapel before the sun goes down.

There wasn’t a single black family that lived there until after WW2.

Some things have changed since then, some haven’t. I would move back there in a heartbeat. I miss the shit out of my small farm and my redneck friends.

That I didn't like? FFS if you send me a pic of a burned down shack and think I might be interested, we clearly are not communicating. You send me a pic of a nice home with slightly darker finishes than I prefer, we're good to go even though I might not like it.

This property is shit. Any realtor that can't see that in 20 seconds is an idiot. Yes, I would fire them, wait 3 months if I was under agreement, and start looking again with someone who's competent.

All that work you have put into your place?

I agree. I miss my small farm (38 acres) and my redneck friends and family. Which is why Im considering moving back to Tn.

Im very familiar with Pusser. I was a Constable when I lived in Tennessee.

What are the stick figures on the driver rear window representing?

Edit: That tint looks a little too dark. Is that 35% or higher?

The old farmer dude (I think he is 91 now) that farmed all the area around me was the funniest, most honest, down to earth guy you could ever meet. When his time comes, I will be very sad, and I don’t like many people.

Wifey wanted to move back to civilization, hence the move to East TN. Been there, done that, ready to get the **** out and have been looking.

I always thought you worked as a Deputy/PO for a town outside of Mempit, no?

When you find him or her, thank them on our behalf. They did perfectly. Came, spent money and left. Win/win!
