    Default A deal is a deal is a deal


    A couple of years ago my Next door neighbor had come down with cancer in one of his lungs. He then was to be placed on chemotherapy. Since we were like brothers, I told him that I would make a deal with him (me not thinking he would lose his hair with the type of chemo he was taking) I told him that if he lost his hair, I would shave my head. Well Old C.D. always wore a taboggan in the winter time. One day my doorbell rang. I answered it and theres old C.D. laughing real loud with that old taboggan on. I said what in the world are you Laughing at. He took off his taboggan and didnt have a lick of hair. Well look at the pic and see the results.

    Since you have now looked at the pic, you now know why my Wife threatened me to never make a deal like that again.
    C.D. wound up having to have the lung taken out and 3 weeks after he got home, he went down on the driveway and died in my arms of a pulmanary imbolism. I will miss him. He was a great guy and an even better fisherman.

    Well he was a great friend and a wonderful neighbor. After he passed I wound up buying his boat from his widdow. I now have created many memories with my children in it.

    Great Story, thanks for sharing it with us.
    Birddog,

    I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.
