Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Going to push towards 80 today, IN January?

I was working on my tractor in the hole I call a pond (some day it will happen). It was so hot I was sweating in just a t-shirt under my canopy. This morning, it's 27F and going to be a cool day. Tomorrow (Sunday) should be a carbon copy of yesterday, so maybe I'll be back diggin' & hauling more dirt.:thumbsup: Gotta love this weather for January.

Still waiting on some rain down here in the Valley. Weatherman says 10 to 30% off and on all week. Plenty of moisture in the air. But none that makes it to the ground as rain.

Ronjhall, where in the Valley are you staying? It should be mid to upper 80's today.

Our sky is a sickening dusty orange color. YUK! I know the folks in W. TX have it much worse, but I had to get off my tractor and come inside because the dust was so thick.

I"ve been watching football on the boob tube and just noticed it didn't look quite right outside, so I came in here to check the National Weather Service and sure enough, "blowing dust" it says. It even smells funny outside.

What y'all said!

Jim, I think I saw your hat "blow" by yesterday, nice day, but could have done without the "breeze"

Bird, my 1st thought when I noticed the discoloration in the sky was fire! After this past summer and with yesterdays wind, a fire would have past my place before I knew it was there!!

Ron, have you ventured over to the Shrimp Haus on South Padre yet?
Just heard about it today so have no first hand knowledge of the place. It sounds good though.

The shrimp haus is part of schliterban. They cook shrimp more ways than Bubba Gumps mama.

Sounds like you've been there. I'm looking for an excuse to go as soon as possible. Driven down from CC a couple times and once you're in CC or Kingsville it's not that far.

Of course just good fresh boiled shrimp are good enough or me anytime.

Had some really good ones at the Ragin' Cajun in Houston last week.
