He Was Six Foot Three And Wore A Stetson
 

Last week I drove from Austin to Ft. Worth in the middle of a business trip. The afternoon I left to drive back to Austin I was finally able to meet the famous AFF poster "Ferd".

We arranged to meet at a Sauna. Well actually a Philly Cheese Steak place with a good reputatoin that Ferd wanted to check out and didn't realize had no dining room. Only outside picnic tables in the 95 degree weather with a brisk hair-dryer temp wind blowing.

I got there first and waited for the infamous Ferd. I knew it was him when I saw a tall true Texas Cowboy complete with white Stetson hat, blue jeans, and cowboy boots step out of that pickup with a toothpick between his teeth. Ferd had arrived!

He said "Howdy Pardner" and crushed my hand in a texas cowboy handshake.

We had a great time talking about God, Church, Louisiana, and a few other things so much that I didn't realize all of the things we didn't get around to talking about until after I left.

I definitely want to hook back up again for a visit the next time I am in the DFW area as Ferd is a great guy to visit with. Just as much a gentleman in person as on the forum.

Nice guy!

Sorry you didn't get to meet Mrs. Ferd and the Ferdettes!

I did hear the little one in the background when we were on the phone!

Ferd likes Cowboy movies?

Re: He Was Six Foot Three And Wore A Stetson
 

Ferd WAS a Cowboy movie! He did leave his chaps and spurs in the pickup with the gun rack and rebel flag decal covering the back window though.

Was he packin' heat?

Re: He Was Six Foot Three And Wore A Stetson
 

The shotgun and two rifles in the gun rack were pretty obvious but I couldn't see a pistol. I am assuming at least one was under the seat. No holster on him though.

Did his back bumper have a sticker that said "Obama for President?"

It was hidden by the confederate flag! :)
