Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Priceless!:laughing:

Rick, that is the only thing I can come up with! There where just to many "Cowboy anomalies" going on, for it to have been anything else, combined with Jerry Jones ego and $$$, I have no doubt that is what happened:laughing:

When the super bowl came on last night,, I set outside on the patio drinking Canadian Hunter and ice water,, listening to the rain hit on the roof and watching the north wind blow the rose plants,, thinking I should have covered those up.. But too late now.. Betty Lou Thelma Liz watched the game, because she a redneckie, and rooted for her favor team the Hawks,, because that's the one our youngest son said would win,, She had a bet with one of her ladies friend that lives in Loveland Co.. Neither will ever payoff or remember who won.. I got plastered,, Now Ron tells me we are going to have six more weeks of Warthog biting weather,, I only know one thing for sure.:confused3:. When we had this named the; Texas spring/summer thread,, it's was cold.. Maybe it is the name and we brought it on ourselves? .:laughing:. Lou

Lou, we haven't even made it to the "Spring/Summer" thread:confused3: Are you saying we should change and hope it makes a difference?:laughing: That thread is Bird, or Jim's "baby" soooooo (been so long since that kind of weather, I forgot)

You're sitting on the porch with a drink, watching the breeze, not counting letting those piles of "round tamales" grow, so why would you want to change a "thang?:confused3::laughing:

Never got below freezing yesterday, but a good rain that was much needed. We had 5/8 of an inch before we went to church and 2 inches when we got back home. Glad I didn't have to get out in it, just stayed in the house and watch the super bowl........well at least some of the commercials were worth watching.

Wow! Charlie, I'm GREEN with envy. My new rain gage said .47" of precip after I let the ice melt for a total reading. We really got a lot of ice yesterday and schools are closed today. Everything is white and not melting off at all. A good slow melt will ensure that all the moisture goes into the ground. We need every drop to soak in and do deep watering to roots.

It's up to 28 F here, so nothing is melting off yet. If we don't get some melt, they will not run school buses tomorrow either. The kids have missed over a week of school so far this year. They may have to extend the school year by a week if it keeps going this way.

I did enjoy the Super Bowl yesterday. I think Budweiser is the benchmark for classy commercials that bring a tear to your eyes while make you proud. Then, Doritos was the belly-laugh leader. The time-machine commercial almost made my wife and me fall off the couch laughing. Top notch stuff.:thumbsup:

Lou you are on the Fall/Winter thread, that's why it is cold. You can switch over to the Texas Spring/Summer thread on March 20, 2014. We don't go by no stinking warthog.

Well my wife was out walking the dog in her Babushka an returned to report an anomalous situation.
So I went down to the pond to see what she was concerned about.

The overflow pipe has a little crack in it that normally drips a little water in the summer but today
it was proudly squirting a "healthy stream" from the bottom left almost to the top right.
Must be the bladder pressure from the ice.
The outlet end is frozen but a trickle has cut it's way through.
Oh, what a relief that is" The only other path is over the top.

Warthogs don't stink but they might bite you if you say, "Warthog, you stink"

Ron, I am a simple man just like my favorite uncle B Orielly:laughing: So I'm not going to ask what a "Babushka" is, It may be something sexy I want my wife to have too!!

As far as your pipe"squirting a "healthy stream"", My doc say's that's a good thing so, if the "trickle" returns, take your "pipe" and get it checked

 

[Western]

oh,,:laughing:Lou

We didn't want to say anything and hurt your feelings:rotfl: Unless you're referring to a neighbor lady down the street that reminds you of a "Warthog":scratchchin: If that's the case, me thinks you best stay closer to home, or you may wake up with a PO'd wife waving a golf club!!! OR worse yet, she could dump all the booze!!!!:shocked:

 

[Lou66]

warthog, hedgehog, groundhog or a hog hog,, in this part of the state I call them a reason to bbq.. get out the sheet and golf balls boys we got us a hog.:laughing:. Lou

 

[Lou66]

the sheet is for covering up the skeet.. in case it rains..Lou

Or, She might ask him just how fast he thinks he can run in his bare feet before raising her shotgun and yelling "Pull":bullseye:

Oh, what I'd give to have my pond overflow dripping/squirting/running water. Like the bridge to nowhere, I have plumbing from nothing to nowhere.

Lou: Is this the Warthog you were talking about?

 

[Lou66]

I don't know nothing about no hedgehog woman,, But Betty has holler pull a couple of times,,:laughing:Lou

 

[Lou66]

Jim isn't that what FG going to buy to fly her and Brandi to Arkansas to see the razor backs.:confused3::laughing:. Lou

Babushka is a head scarf in Russia.

Dennis,
So Bill is your uncle, too. I knew we had some common blood. You can imagine what he will be bloviating about all this week and asking all his guests.... "Am I wrong? " Then when Bernie disagrees he will say, "Well that's all the time we have for this tonight" and change the subject.
He has been a great teacher to us "simple folk, who like to keep everything fair and balanced"

My wife spent a lot of time living with her grandmother as a child. Her grandmother was a Hungarian immigrant who
could speak English a lot better than I, when she wanted too, but like so many other immigrants preferred her
native language and used it most of the time. A Babushka to her meant a head scarf which she always wore in the cold weather to protect her head and ears. A simple piece of cloth folded into a triangle to cover her head and ears and tied under her neck.
It also means grandmother in Russian. All the languages over there are a regional blend, just like in this country.
Texas is so big you must have a lot of different dialects still remaining over the state.
So my wife likes to keep me confused by using some of the words she learned as a child from her grandmother.

I thought Ron was like in Kansas or something,:confused3:, He in Russia.. No wonder I don't understand him sometimes.:duh:. Lou

Yeah Lou, sometimes his accent is pretty heavy:laughing:

Ron, I know what the hat/scarf is thanks to Google:thumbsup: Knew what they where, but not the name. We don't use them down here and I'd be scared to wear one in Texas, some intoxicated hay field, golf range owning Texas redneck may think is a rabbit on my head and start"chut'n"

If Bill Orielly ran for President, I would even vote 2-4 times like they did for the current, ah,,,er...guy He is a temperamental fellow, but a smart individual, doesn't loose very often. Even some GOP fellas are "skeered" of him.
