Drew, as you know if you ever look at 'What's for supper????', I live off veggies most of the time, and very rarely put dressing or sauce on them. My favorite seasoning right now is Webber's Roasted Garlic and Herb. I also like their Smokey Mesquite if you want to add a little fire to something...

My mind completely erased the truck battery episode. I measured the new one in the store, and it looked to be the same size as the old one. But I found out it was about an eighth of an inch wider.

I can understand that. That makes sense. But we are forecasting a low of 30F tonight. The western panhandle has been getting sleet all afternoon, so I can see closing them over there. But we may not get any ice at all. Just the threat of ice closes a third of the state down. Larro

Drew, there are rules about how big a pile you can burn without a permit, but I have always burned brush piles without calling it in. You just wait for a calm day when you have all day to spend on it. If you will look at the first picture again, you can see the remains of my old brush pile, with...

Last year when I bought a 6' RFM I had to start using the 3930 to pull the mower. The bigger tractor meant all the trees needed to be trimmed so I could get closer to them. Well today was the first day the weather and I were both in a good enough mood to get it done. I did the trimming with my...

Their tether is anchored in the front. It lets them get in out of the weather, but not out the back side so they don't get tangled up. And there is a safe path between the rows. The game hens are on the yard now, and they socialize with the rosters when I scatter the feed. He used to have only...

Brin, I like the Swai better than Tillapia. It is sweeter and flakier. I had never heard of it until the Harveys grocery store where I shop at started to carry it. It was cheaper than the Tillapia so I tried it. Since then I have been buying it whenever it's on sale. When I Googled it, I found...

Good Evening. 2125, clear, 26* with 56% humidity. Forecast low of 23* tonight, and a high of 49* tomorrow. If we reach it, that will be about 15* warmer than today. But it wasn't too bad today if you were out of the wind. The sun shined all day. JD, that supper sounds pretty good for a cold...

Good Morning. 1100, sunny, 24* {18* wind chill} with 48% humidity. Forecast high of 35* this afternoon and a low of 24* tonight. It was 20* at 0730 when I first rolled over. If it's going to get up to 35* it had better start warming up faster. I have a bit of a sore throat from too much coffee...

Good evening. 2355, clear, 26* with 46% humidity. Forecast low of 22* and high of 35*. Well the Noles pulled out a hard fought win. I'm glad there were not many games like this one, or my heart couldn't take it. But now FSU are National Champions for the third time. And those flags fly forever...

It up to 40* here. That is 1* higher than the forecast called for. I got out early and got all the outside faucets dripping, and put out extra cat food in the sheds and pump house. We have a cat door in the pump house, and there is a small gap where the two sheds go together that the cats can...

Midas {cat} is the better watchdog of the two. He is always looking and listening. If I could just teach him to bark:D Midas got run off the front porch by the other cats for being mean to kittens. He started going up trees in the back yard to get away from the old tomcat, and soon him and...

Good Monday Morning. 0655, overcast, 36* {and dropping} with 85% humidity and 10-15 mph NW winds. The forecast is for 37* at noon, but right now it's going the other way. The low tonight has been bumped up to 21*. I'll have to drip water in all the out buildings. Trying to decide when would be...

Good Evening. 1830, light rain, 62* with 90% humidity. Forecast low for tonight is 36* with 80% chance of rain, and a high of 38* tomorrow. Monday night's forecast low is 20* and Tuesday's high is 33*. I think that will be our coldest of the year to date. But we had a very nice day today...

The cold at the game didn't bother me at all. I was able to take a nice little nap on the couch while Margie was cooking supper. I missed two 1st half field goals, but I was recording it, so I just backed it up to watch them. It is shaping up to be a good game though. Larro

Midas and Mocha were enjoying the nice weather this afternoon. It was short lived. The rain has started now, and the cold is right behind it. Larro

Good Morning. 0745, overcast, 46* with 89% humidity. Forecast high of 66* with 20% chance of rain this afternoon, and a low of 35* with 70% chance of rain tonight. They have lowered the low for Monday night to 19*. Tuesday will be bad, with a high of 31* but it's back in the 60's by Thursday...

You are right, it's not cool to take pictures of the customers. Also the fact that her dad is sitting in the lobby is another consideration.:o So I will just say she is tall, thin and dark. With a very shiny dress on earlier. Most of the girls are on their 2nd or 3rd dress now. Larro

Good Afternoon. 1230, overcast, 48* with 68% humidity. Forecast high of 53* this afternoon and a low of 43* tonight. Today is much nicer than yesterday. But we have some cold on the way. The low for Monday night is supposed to be 20*. I will have to drip the outside faucets. There are about...

Not a Texan, but Google tells me this is what you are looking for: Fishing Licenses, Stamps, Tags & Packages Freshwater Package:$58 Saltwater Package:$63 All-Water Package:$68 One-Day All-Water License:$16 Happy fishing. Larro

There is a lot of money spent on these pageants, including photos. This lady uses the Civic Center a few times a year. She lines up four or five girls and the photographer. But the girls could be anywhere from 1 year old to 18 or 19. You never know until they show up. A couple of years ago we...

Good Morning. 0800, sunny, 29* with 67% humidity. Forecast high of 45* this afternoon and a low of 28* tonight. Everyone stay warm and safe. 300UGUY, prayers for you guys. Hope your wife responds well to treatment. Drew, I must have overslept. I'll see you in the morning. Oh wait... I'm...

When I shoveled my last snow up in Great Lakes, I threw the shovel just like Bruce was throwing his guitar at the end of his shows. I do have a couple of corn shovels though. Larro

Roy, it might just be we have toooooo toooooooo much time on our hands. I do hope you get your toe pointed back in the right direction. Larro

There was another famous person who just turned 64. He is still getting around pretty well, so there is hope for Roy to get his snow moved. Larro

I seem to recall someone writing a song about that. Larro

Good Morning. 0655, rain, 52* with 94% humidity. Forecast high of 60* with 90% chance of rain today, then clearing this afternoon and a low of 29* tonight. We will have a couple of cold days it looks like. Relatively speaking. Larro

Good Morning. 1110, light rain, 50* with 92% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 57* with 50% chance of rain today, and a low of 50* with 90% chance of rain tonight. They say what you do on the 1st day of the year sets the pattern for the whole year. Boy I hope not. Margie has gone shopping...

Good Evening. 2030, clear, 48* with 88% humidity. Forecast low of 46* with 20% chance of rain. Just before dark when I walked over to my shooting house it was spitting rain. That is two days sooner than they said it was going to get here. Wilky, the Navy clothes were not very warm. I got me...

Wow, that was a cool video David. Serious lightning. Here in Florida our sinkholes often form when the groundwater level drops. We don't have too many of them up here in North Florida. {thank the Good Lord} Larro

The good thing about rain, as long as you are not at the bottom of a valley with a river or creek, it will run somewhere else. Snow, not so much. The first winter I was in the Navy I spent in Great Lakes. I learned that I wasn't cut out for the snow. Larro

David, you got those tanks in place just in time. How many gallons do you harvest per inch of rain? Larro

Good Morning. 1015, clear, 51* with 93% humidity. Forecast high of 64* and low of 50* tonight. No chance of rain until Thursday. Drew, I did the yo-yo thing too. A couple three years ago I got up to 250, lost down to 220, then settled out at 235-240. I had been trying to lose, and had got down...

Good Morning. 0945, scattered clouds, 57* with 88% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 64* and a low of 43*. It looks like you all are getting the rain I had last night. I can tell you exactly when the front passed here. It was still spitting rain when I left work at 0115 this morning, but 20...

Now you tell me! It's too late for that. Larro

Good Evening. 1925, rain, 61* with 93% humidity. I have been so bored this afternoon. I spent an hour working on my second story. I had made some changes on the first one, so those had to be continued on. Proofreading always makes me sleepy. Then I watched a lot of crappy football. It got so...

Bob, I do eat the slices of the regular lemons. Customers often leave gallon bags of them in the fridge after events here at the Civic Center. But I have to wait a few minutes between slices. The best way to eat these big ones {while I'm at work, anyway} is to suck the juice out of them and then...

Good afternoon. 1215, cloudy, 60* with 81% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 62* with 70% chance of rain this afternoon, and a low of 59* with 100% chance of rain tonight. I've been at work a little over an hour. Already walked my 2 miles for the day. Didn't make it under 30 minutes today...

The prisons are full of stupid people. I would say that 90% of the folks who smoke a little weed do it without ever getting in any trouble. They go to work everyday, pay their taxes and never come to the law's attention. But the stupid ones keep the cops busy. Larro

300UGUY, my cousin stole a couple of my treestands last winter. Since he was family I didn't call the law. He got caught growing pot last summer. I have nothing against anyone trying to grow a little smoke for their own use, but he had his growing a few feet from the front door of his camper. {I...

Good Morning. 0900, clear, 51* with 78% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 58* with 10% chance of rain today, and a low of 47* with a 50% chance for tonight. I have an old house trailer down behind our hayfield on the Chipola River. It started out as a camp and has turned into storage over...

Ron, I see why you go south for the winter. For years my great aunt lived in Idaho in the summer and West Palm Beach in the winter. Her winters down there were warmer than the summers in Idaho. I heard from my niece out in Denver today. Johnny, her 2 year old, threw a fit this morning when he...

I just wanted to show everyone that we did have a White Christmas {Morning} here at the Larro Ranchero. Five minutes later when the sun hit the front yard it was all gone though. A special prayer goes out to all the folks in the armed forces having to spend the holiday away from family. Also...

Merry Christmas!!!! 0715, clear, 31* with 88% humidity. Forecast high of 57*. We have already had our gift exchange and main eating, but Margie is still cooking and we are having Mamma over for dinner. 30 years ago, right after I got home from the Navy, I had a few friends staying over for...

Good Afternoon. 1225, sunny, a cold 51* with 53% humidity and a 10 mph gusting north wind. Forecast calls for a high of 53* and a low of 29*. Earlier when I walked over to change out the SD cards in the game cameras it was in the 40's, and with the wind, it was cold. Wayne, I hope the shot will...

Jerry needs to hire a GM. They could have teams like they used to in a few seasons if there was a football man being GM instead of the owner.

Good Morning. 0955, rain, 57* with 94% humidity. Forecast high of 59* with 90% chance of rain. We have had 1.9" since midnight and looks like it is going to stay most of the day. We are doing our office Christmas party today. The plan is to smoke a couple of Boston butts. We have a really nice...

Dave, we are in Altha Florida. But there were a lot of folks from Appalachia who made this their home back then. They were not big time at all. The still would hold three 55 gallon drums of mash, and each drum would produce 5 gallons of liquor. My Daddy shared the still with his father, brother...

I had meant to say today was the first full day of winter, so you guys up north can start with the snow and ice now. What, wait..... It has already been cold? My Daddy and Granddaddy both worked during the day, so most folks knew to come in the evenings for their drinking whiskey. But when...

Good Afternoon. 1455, mostly cloudy, 78* with 85% humidity. Forecast high of 80* with 80% chance of thunderstorms. I drove through a light rain coming in to work, but the main part of it is still off to the southwest of us. Looks like it will be here soon. Because of all our crazy work...

Good Afternoon. 1215, cloudy, 75* with 83% humidity. Forecast high of 77* with 20% chance of rain. Nice looking bear Wayne. Twenty years ago when I was young and dumb, {as opposed to old and dumb today} I hunted on St Joe Timber Company land on Four Mile Creek. My friend lived nearby and I...

Good Afternoon. 1545, partly cloudy, 74* with 68% humidity. Forecast low of 59* tonight. I have one Christmas party out of the way, and another one coming up tonight. There are four more on Saturday and one on Sunday. I will come in for our little office party on Monday, then I am through for...

Good Evening. 2015, clear, 41* with 85% humidity. Forecast low of 36* tonight. Thanks for all the anniversary well wishes. Margie didn't mind me watching basketball, she was just glad I didn't do it in the living room. She took the day off and we did a little Christmas shopping in Marianna...

Thanks for the Anniversary Wishes guys. I was able to leave work early and we had a nice supper. Then I watched FSU basketball. You know you've been married a while when that doesn't get you in trouble. And I would be happy with old out board repair as a gift.:laughing: Larro

Wayne, I found the number. I think it is RIII 10 114 {3 or 5}57 G That would make it a Ranger III, made in October, boat number 114, {not sure if the next number is a 3 or a 5}, 1957 model, Gold. Thanks for your help. Larro

Good Morning. 0830, sunny, 40* with 94% humidity. Forecast high of 65*. We had a nice white frost with ice in the water bowls this morning, but the frost is gone and the ice is melting. Margie and I have been married 23 years today. Wooo! I have to work tonight, so she is taking off tomorrow so...

Thanks for the info Wayne. I will give it a look in the morning. I joined the Feather Craft forum today. I had looked on there a few times, but I figured if I did start to work on the boat, they would be a big help to me. Thanks again, Larro

Wayne, you are right. I did a Google image search for 1957 Ranger III and the 2nd picture looked just like my boat, right down to the peeling brown paint. The reason I have always called it a 1957 is our local paper re-ran a story from January 1958 about a boat show at the Blountstown Landing...

Good Morning. 1050, clear, 45* with 76% humidity. Forecast high of 58*. I saw 34* at 0700, but there was still ice in the cat's water bowl out under the shed just now, so it was colder than that. Wayne, my Feather Craft is a Vagabond II. It was missing the seat cushions and windshield, but...

Your boat looks really good. I bought mine from a pawnshop, and had to repair the transom before putting it in the water. I have a friend who builds boats, but he was afraid to do much with the thin aluminum, so we used plywood to repair it. At the time, money was tight so I didn't use Marine...

I can do some basic repair, but that is about it. If I try to fix the Big Twin, I will have to have help. And I have a couple or three with of each kind of fuel tank, all pretty old. My 'new' outboard is a 1978. When we bought it, we got a chainsaw at the same time. They both cost around $500...

I hadn't looked at the game camera pictures for a few days. Went through four or five days' worth tonight. That was about 2700 pictures. The spikes are really growing, and I spotted this stubby 8 point that I hadn't seen before. The 7 point from the earlier pictures is coming to the corn in the...

Good Morning. 0920, Overcast, 47* with 89% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 54* then clearing off and dropping down to 34* tonight. Everyone be careful out there {Drew, I'm talking to you too} today. I have a 1957 Feather Craft. You don't see a lot of them anymore. I love how light it...

Good Morning. 1000, overcast, 66* with 91% humidity. Forecast high of 72* with 90% chance of rain. Cold front pushing through behind the rain. Lows in the 30's for a few nights after that. Larro

Good Evening. 2000, clear, 43* with 62% humidity. Forecast low of 33* tonight, the coldest in a few weeks for us. I don't feel the urge to put up any lights at home. These are some of the trees I see every night at work. Larro

Margie just called back. They had put Perry in the GPS so it would get them off I-75 where they wanted, and they had forgot to reprogram it. So they are a couple of hours out still, but getting closer all the time. I'm back from the shoe rack mission, and have it hanging on the back of Mamma's...

Good Morning. 0940, sunny, 50* with 59% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 59* today and a low of 33* tonight. Just talked to Margie. They are over halfway home, and should be back at Bristol by noon. Yea! David, that tank job is coming right along. Are you guys having to drink bottled...

Good Morning. 1035, sunny, 52* with 75% humidity. Forecast high of 63* with no chance of rain. It was nice when I went out back to feed the dog. A few puffy white clouds to the south, and blue skies everywhere else. Today is laundry day, but since I didn't buy any new shirts at the thrift...

Good Evening. 2100, clear, 48* with 80% humidity. Forecast low of 40* with no chance of rain. Our weird heat wave has broke, with highs in the high 50's and low 60's the rest of the week. We are back in the 70's with 100% chance of rain by the weekend, though. Had an early night at work. Just a...

:laughing: I resemble that remark. :laughing::laughing: Larro

Good Morning. 0840, light rain, 63* with 89% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 62* {????} with a 20% {???} chance of rain. This weather forecasting is tricky stuff. If I do my weekly run to Marianna, it will have to be early. I have to setup for tonight's Piggly Wiggly Christmas party, and...

Riptides, hope the falling limbs stay off your house. We just had a passing shower here, so the chance of rain just went up to 100% at the Larro Ranchero. Drew, my sister is back home now, but she lived in Colorado Springs for 30 years. Her daughter and grandkids are in Denver. It's been a long...

Good Morning. 0800, cloudy, 67* with 95% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 76* with 20% chance of rain today, 50% tonight and 60% tomorrow. I looked two hours ago when I got up, and those numbers were 40%, 60% & 70%, so who knows what it will be by tonight. {the sun might be shining by...

Don, you should pick up about a week's worth, then follow him home one day and return them to him. Say, "I saw you drop this and thought you might want it back." Larro

Since we live near a boat ramp, our roadside trash is much worse in the summer. Our house is on a crossroads, so we have 1/4 mile on both roads to pickup. At the old homeplace it's the same thing, but with land on both sides of the road along one part of it. Luckily our river-field is at the end...

Good Morning. 0955, cloudy, 66* with 95% humidity. Forecast high of 77*. It was foggy out when I drove Margie over to Bristol. She is headed to Longboat Key for the week. If it is like most of her trips, all she will see of the beach is the view from the room. They keep them pretty busy with...

Good {very early} Morning. 0200, cloudy, 72* with 93% humidity. Forecast low of 64* with 50% chance of rain. I'm trying to wind down after a long day of work so I can get some sleep. Not that long until tomorrow is here and I get to do it again. But I won't have a late night, just have to finish...

I do my jeans and shirts, but can't get near Margie's. She does let me do socks and underwear. Any thing else I leave to her. Larro

Don't be silly. As soon as I got to the car and realized I didn't have my keys in my pants pocket {because I didn't have on any pants} I would have gone back in the house and got them. {along with my pants} Larro

Good Afternoon. 1450, sunny, 82* with 70% humidity. Forecast low is 67* with 40% chance of rain. I came into work at noon, an hour earlier than my usual Friday time, because the Christmas party tonight changed their setup plans. But I've made the changes, and already got in my mile and a half...

We did have a smoke house when I was a kid. I had to fire it before and after school when we had meat hanging. It was a lot of work, but I remember the hams being very good. Now if I ever do any sausage, I will be using a more modern grinder than we had back then. I collect old meat grinders...

I was so happy to get all the blue out of my yellow Duke brand shirt, that I wore it to work. I won't mention being in a hurry when I dressed for work, and forgetting my belt. Luckily I found one at ALCO's that fit me, and was on clearance. People might start thinking I don't have good sense. Larro

Dave, we had never cooked a spiral ham until two or three weeks ago. Mamma wanted one, but she couldn't use the whole thing, so we took half of it. We found out we liked it, so we did one for Thanksgiving. And we did put the bone with a goodly amount of meat still on it in the freezer for beans...

Good Morning. 9015, cloudy, 75% with 89% humidity. Forecast high of 80*. It rained all morning, but has stopped now. I need to walk over to the shooting house and change out the SD cards in the game cameras. Glad to report that all the blue came out of my shirts except for a small place on the...

Good Evening. 1930, partly cloudy, 69* with 93% humidity. Forecast low of 65* with fog. We had a few showers yesterday, and a few more today. Let me tell you about my day. But first, I had an early appointment to have my teeth cleaned yesterday, then did my tour of the farmer's co-op and all...

Good Morning. 1100, clear, 65* with 61% humidity. Forecast high of 70*. Looks like we are in the 70's all week with a small chance of rain. That's fine by me. I'm not ready for winter. Hope everyone has a good day. Larro

Drew, we are lucky to have two Doctors in Blountstown from the Subcontinent. One of them used to be my doctor. {I had to change due to my coverage plan} But he is Margie's Doctor, and her mother and brother were his patients before they passed. He would often call us at home about them...

Good Morning. 1145, clear, 58* with 78% humidity. Forecast high of 68*. I woke up at 0600 and thought about going out to my shooting house. But I had a late night at work, so I rolled over and slept until 0930. No real plans for the day, other than eating Thanksgiving leftovers, watching some...

Good Evening. 1720, clear, 56* with 75% humidity. Forecast low of 45*. I'm back at work after having time off for the holiday. We have another wedding. Drew, we use the Stevia to cook with. But it is very sweet. You have to use caution. And if you are really counting sugar carbs, take a look...

Good Evening. 1745, clear, 41* with 79% humidity. Forecast low of 37* tonight. I spent a couple of hours yesterday and today in my shooting house. All I saw was a few does and yearlings. It was much warmer today than yesterday, but you have to go on the first day, no matter how cold it is. We...

Today was the first time I had sat in my shooting house in the late afternoon. I had forgot how the red birds flock to the corn when it gets almost dark. When I got in I looked through the game camera pictures to see if there were any of red birds. I found a few, as well as one of our orange...

Good Morning. 0925, clear, 36* with 71% humidity. Forecast high of 54*. At 0600 when I was trying to decide if I wanted to sit in the shooting house, it was 28* with a pretty white frost. I decided to wait until this afternoon. The bucks have only shown up on the game camera just before dark...

So who is the toughest one at the corn pile? It looks like Mr. Coon ask Mr. Buck to move on down the line. Larro

Good Morning. 0750, overcast, 40* with 87% humidity and gusty N NW wind. Forecast high is 50* and low 27*. The rain has left us, now we just have the cold and wind to deal with. All I plan on doing outside is spread a little extra corn and put up the new game camera I bought yesterday. I hope...

Good Evening. 1900, light rain, 55* with 96% humidity. Forecast low is 39* with 70% chance of rain. We have had 1.65" of rain here, but just up the road a few miles they had 2.5". When I was driving to Marianna I had to pull over and check my owner's manual to see if the wipers had a cats and...

I think the time would be ripe for a little 'Couldn't Stand The Weather.' Larro

Good Evening. 1750, cloudy, 55* with 75% humidity. Forecast low of 50* with 80% chance of rain tonight and 90% tomorrow. It was a dreary, cold day today. It barely got up to 60*. Drew, when we got the Camry, it came with three of the smart keys. I had five dumb keys made and left one everywhere...
