I found the perfect place, BUT!!!

I've found the perfect place to do uploads, to FB and YT, BUT!! someone has accessed my facebook and Youtube accounts and now Im locked out of them...I guess I'm going to wind up delelting a lot of stuff to make room for Kentucky pictures and videos, I can't call them due to being in the mountains, my Page-Plus (verizon) account, has me locked out from making calls while "roaming" I went through West Virginia using Page-Plus and NEVER got locked out from calling people, Something stinks, and its not just me from not showering for two weeks....SO I'm going to upload all the pictures I can on Imgur, on a seperate account ..So give me about a day to get them up, I'm not locked out of my emails..YET!?!? but everything else is history till I can get a hold of someone to straighten them out..

Wytheville is worth taking a look at....

You read it correct, Its worth taking a closer look at than just driving by heading to another part of Virginia, RIGHT now!! its my #1 spot to settle down at if I was to call this a done deal, and/if I had the money to do so..NOT saying its costly to live here cause I'm not educated on the cost of living here, but you could be sure with a town of less than 10k it isn't going to be very much.. The people here ARE AWESOME!!, I haven't met a "mean" or unkind person yet, However many still seem to get lost in their own town, What should have taken me less than a hour took 5 due to wrong directions to businesses.

I called my mother and told her to sell G'ma/pa's house and get your butt here, This is your kind of community, reminds me of Willoughby  Ohio on Peach..

I want to thank Tracy and Beth, Woody and his daughter for their kindness and chicken for Murph.(I love Woody's Thing.."VW" thing, not the other "thing") I want to extend my thanks to the Wythe Arts Council, Ltd, Tom Street, and two great ladies that drove the same Van, and had played a mind game on me and didn't know it.. (Im ashamed I forgot the two ladies name,.. One fed Murph and I. her husband and children were great to us both and we/I thank them (Murph just pants) The event goes on for two more days check out wythevillefestival.org for more information.. Tom, if you send me the information or just comment on the bottom of this, that would be great so I can let people know who they were..


OK off to Marion Va, Im taking a short cut to make up for lost time, I WAS going to bypass Damascus, But thats part of the challenge of making it out of VA on the 76, So I will bypass, RR, SG, and TD..Then Ill cut down to get to Damascus, stay a day and see if I can get a solid axle, and maybe some lighter supplies since its a town dedicated to the whole thing of bicycle traveling.. In reality I'm a day away, but it will take me three no doubt..

I want to extend a thanks to a special couple on the way into Wthyeville, for the food and cash to help us out till my UE deposited..It helped much..I tell ya folks, trying to survive on $100 a week is hard, but not so hard as trying to pay bills and rent with it in a town with no jobs.. So I better not complain to much.. I just hope that I can find something in Kansas or a job around the Mississippi just to hold me off till Spring till I can start up again, and finish to Oregon..speaking of which, Its 11 am and we need to get going..


KEEP IN MIND>>> To track us better is to subscribe to the " Jerry Murphy Matney " (Droopy and Drooper profile pic ) and " murphedog " on youtube ( I realized my hand writing was awful, So I started using my tablet and cell phone to do Video journals, and what would take 3 hours to do, now takes 3 minutes, and you can better understand it than if you had to read it.. THANK YOU ALL, AND GOD BLESS.. for my Atheist friends, See ya L8R, maybe.

Ok, heres a re-do of yesterdays post,

As stated, Im having problems with my Google/Android devices and sites working with each other like they are meant to.. Wytheville comes in second to being the best place for Murph and I, Not saying the other cities we travel trough and people we talk to at the other places were awful or anything, Its just about how we are being treated and extended a amount of stay when in turn its meant to be only 24 hours or less, Today/night Tues, June 19th is Bluegrass shows going on at the Chautauqua event, a week long outside shows that start from 11am and run till 10pm, each day is a different style of music presented, Tom Street has been great at passing on the word about us wanting to stay and watch the Bluegrass show, and I got permission, And since dogs isn't allowed near the event after to many people brought Pitbulls and other dogs last year That wound up being a few dog bites, fights and to many piles of poo not cleaned up, they refused dog to be allowed this year.. But Murph and I are camped behind the stage, and it keeps him out of sight and the "well he brought his dog why isn't mine allowed" questions out of and conversation to the patrol..besides, the staff loves Murph, (imagine that),

So thank you Wythevilles Va,for the extension on our stay, it's much loved and appreciated I recommend Wytheville as a stopping place for anyone traveling down 81 or 77, not just at the rest/truck stops, the little town is awesome just like the people here ..Anyways, I need to go, I uploaded several pics to "Imgur" you can also view them their if you dont have a FB account, Its under the User name "Sirtet" BUT be warned, Some photos might be unappropriated  for younger viewers..THIS IS YOUR WARNING>> I dont want to get emails for not giving a warning.. Ok then..Im out of here to get foodies for me, Murph got fed already by passer bys..L8R ya'LL

Thanks for checking in, but.....

Thanks for checking up with us, we are NOT stopping, but will be doing more,updates on Facebrook (lol) than here, First the tablet (which is Android, owned by google) has a hard time working right with blogger (also wned by Google), and It wont allow me to post picture from picasa (owned by oogle) and it wont allow me to give a quick link to it from here, and it wont allow me to give a quick link to videos on youtube..(YEP!, owneed by Google).. Ive been and always will be a Google fan, for everything they do, at least from them you get something from them at no charge when they are selling your info, unlike with the rest of those clowns out there, who comes up with better ways to keep tabs on ya, while charging you for much needed items to keep up with your day by day life... But as it stands, Googles idea of entering the computer age reminds me of early Window,and their "plug and play" motto, which really means"plug in and pray" that it will work.. but theres no blue screen of death, its just followed by 404,4001,501,503,502,405, and a bunch of other numbes..even while Im typing this,it wont allow me to see what Im typing inless I close it out and view it  as a finished project.. on a Android device..SSOOOO for more information on whats happening, go to the right and click the link to facebook and subscribe to the" Jerry Murphy Matney " page to keep up with us, and if you want to see the video journals go to " murphedog "(thats the user name on Youtube) since i realized my handwriting is god awful, so much so ,I couldn't read my first two weeks worth of writing,lol rer itmakes me lookgood, and who know maybe It will get picked up by a station thats desperate for entrtainmentleast this way you can see how dark and skinny my face is getting..subscibe thee,i
