Bookworm Cowboy

Lakeland, Florida, USA

Fat Jack's Deli & Pub

We're the Bookworm Cowboy from Lakeland, Florida. We're originally from Riverside, New Jersey. We're married to Tutti Cowgirl and we're both retired. We're a private person, keep to ourselves and take care of our wife, Tutti Cowgirl. We were both hard-core CB Radio enthusiasts for years, but the Internet came along, and we sold out. Today, we focus on finding joy in our retirement by reading eBooks on our Fire Tablet; it is where we got our nickname. We love hunting for deals on Amazon, eBay, etc. I play popular multi-player games as Minecraft, World of Tanks, World of Warships, World of Warplanes, Grand Theft Auto, Avakin Life, Chess.com, Lichess.org, Lidraughts.org, etc. We love viewing our favorite game players/teams on Dlive.tv, Twitch.tv or Storyfire. We use Google Play Games and our game ID is BookwormCowboy. We ONLY enjoy classic TV shows or movies from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, the good stuff. I surf YouTube to find videos on Travel, Space Exploration, Gaming Tips, and listen to Music. I'll find us on popular social platforms as Mastodon, Minds, Gab, Xephula, Mumblit and Telegram. Thanks for stopping in and please look at our list of Florida Attractions, Photo Gallery, and Multiplayer Gaming.

We Love Music!

Bookworm Cowboy Loves to Read

I’m a bookworm and love to read, but our local library system sucks. Thankfully, we own an e-reader and can find exactly what we want to read on Amazon and send it to our Kindle Fire Tablet. Then we can go sit on the porch while we’re waiting for a package to arrive and read an excellent book. We love the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Ian Fleming, Howard Lovecraft, John Bunyan, C. S. Lewis, H.G. Wells, Robert Howard, and others. Learn what we're reading @ Goodread.com.

We Love Classic TV Shows or Movies!

We ONLY enjoy classic TV shows or movies from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, the good stuff. Shows as Bewitched, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Lucy Show, Mister Ed, Hogan's Heroes, M*A*S*H, The Odd Couple, All In The Family, Sanford and Son, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, The Love Boat, etc. Police and Detective Shows as Dragnet, Perry Mason, Ironside, CHiPs, Charlie's Angels, Hawaii Five-O, etc. Sci-Fi as Star Trek, Stargate SG-1, etc. Today's TV shows and movies SUCK! This is why we cut the cable or use over the air TV. We use a Roku or a DVD-Blue-ray player to avoid annoying commercials.

CB Radio - The Original Social Media Network

Before Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. CB Radio was the original social media network people used in the United States and other parts of the world. People would give smoky reports, traffic and weather advisories, give directions, cut up and men love to report about all the fine-looking beavers; especially if the ladies' were driving convertibles and the men jokingly claim to be driving by checking out the ladies seat-covers; LoL! I and Tutti Cowgirl were both hard-core CB Radio enthusiasts for years. Yep, back in the day, you rarely sew a car, truck or home without a CB Radio. We started when we were young and received our first CB Radio for our birthday. When we came home from school or work, we fired up the TV and our CB Radio; to chat the day and night away with our CB Radio friends from around the world! When we started into CB Radio, there were only 23 channels, and you needed an FCC license. The FCC allowed us to use our father's call-sign of KAVJ-1318, until we moved out on our 18th birthday, and then we got our own call-sign of KBMV-3443. Our CB handle was the Bookworm. People jokingly gave us our CB handle because we spent lots of time reading books and loved to talk about what we were reading. In the 70s, they went from 23 to 40 channels. The need for an FCC license ended on April 28, 1983. However, the CB Radio lost much of its appeal because of the development of mobile phones and the internet. Yep, when the Internet came along, we got rid of our antenna's, which were an eye-sore and sold out. You still have a small number who use the CB Radio today, and some tried Amateur Radio. However, Amateur Radio is suffering the same fate because of the development of mobile phones and the internet. In time, both hobbies will fade away into history as more people fall in love with the Internet.
Florida has many state parks, amusement parks, beautiful beaches, caves, and numerous other attractions, it is easy to see why Florida is a popular vacation destination. Each of these attractions listed deserve a visit, at the very least so you can take an awesome picture to show your friends. Click Here >>>

Why We Cut It off!

Today's TV shows and movies SUCK and why we cut the cable or view over-the-air TV. We use a Roku or a DVD-Blue-ray player to avoid annoying commercials. We turned off obsolete AM and FM Radio. Amazon Prime Video is a better value because they have the classic TV shows or movies we love like The Beverly Hillbillies; The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, Green Acres, Andy Griffith Show, The Mothers-in-Law, That Girl, The Saint, I Spy, Peter Gunn, One Step Beyond; Star Trek: The Next Generation; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Charlie Chan Movies. Plus, you can buy or rent movies and TV Shows from Amazon Prime Video. We use Google Play to rent or purchase TV Shows and Movies. We love Pub-D-Hub, to enjoy classic Films, TV Shows, Cartoons, Radio Shows and more.
You can find virtually anything you love online without high-priced cable TV with those obsolete cable channels. We love being able to choose the TV Show or Movies we want to view. We get our news and weather from our smartphone or online. We love if the obsolete cable companies quit calling or writing us with cut rate offers and focus on improving their Internet services. Yeah, like offering us a good deal on higher Internet speeds would be fantastic!
