9*!! glad I didn't look twice at my gauge!. Gotta love them Cheerios, I prefer the "original" flavor, but will on occasion delve into the world of the "honey nut O's" too. Never had a "cubed" mango, wonder how they grow those:D



Foreman, looks like fun, but I always figured you for an older fella:confused3::laughing:

He is 4 I'm just 30yrs older but little snow makes us all feel younger playing in it..

What happened to FarmGirl? Haven't heard from her in a while. Did I miss something?

Here's my favorite OK/Texas joke and it really is true. I may have told it before elsewhere. Pardon me if I did, I have CRS bad.

My buddy called me while driving his 18 wheeler and said "You won't believe what I'm hauling." "What"? I asked. He said he's heading north from Dallas to Kansas City with 40,000 pounds of tampons.

I told him "Whoa, be extra careful crossing that Red River, if you wrecked on the bridge you might stop up the river for a week!" "Besides, are they having a PMS emergency in Kansas?" He later told me he laughed the whole trip. :)

We got 1/2 inch of rain since yesterday morning. Sleeted throughout the night. My son took off for work at 9:45. I wouldn't have. Hope he got there okay. It's all melting now.

I made my doctor's appointment TWO days ago. Now I feel almost normal. Good thing too, as I called the Doctor's office this morning, to cancel, and a recording said the office was closed.
hugs, Brandi

FG emailed me @ 6:31 this morning. She is okay, just too busy to post. She says she wanted to go hang out at the airport this afternoon, but the weather is not cooperating.
hugs, Brandi

Thanks Brandi.

I think FG is OK too, She probably has new company :D New critters I mean. If someone tried to hurt her, we'd have seen it on the news by now!! HEADLINE :: " Fella beat down in the produce section after grabbing a woman today" or similar:thumbsup:

With all this cold weather around us, it reminds me of Christmas. So here is a late Christmas photo taken after Christmas.
hugs, Brandi

Wow, a girl gets busy with work and other projects for a few days, and all sorts of things happen around here. I'm just glad to have missed the precip with this cold spell. Next week doesn't look any too warm. I have a cord of wood stacked just outside the garage, but may add another half cord to it, this weekend. I did go play at an airport for a few minutes today. Still deciding which plane I want to buy and hangar there. Will probably be a newer hangar when I get a purchase in it, because one has to be rebuilt, thanks to the last big ice storm warping the roof. :eek: Waiting list at the MW airport for hangar space.

bindian: Get well and STAY well! I have someone else onboard for the trip to Oshkosh 2015! I am hoping to be taking an RV-6, and he will fly his bird as well! By the time we have to make hotel reservations, we might have a nice group!

Western; Glad to hear they found the issue with your mom, and that she is back to visiting with family.

Now, would y'all be so kind as to turn up the outdoor thermostat for the remainder of this winter? I have not finished hoeing my garden, and won't get it finished any time soon, if I keep having to take time to cut, haul and stack firewood.

Besides, how am I supposed to do my rain dance, with morning temps of 12 *?!?! :shocked: And I need rain, but want the temps above freezing, when the precip does arrive!

Seriously, thanks for the concern, y'all. :cloud9: :cheerful:

Guess you can wear a thin T-shirt, socks and gloves for that 12 degree rain dance. :)

Today is my grandson's birthday. He just turned 14. I got him a fishing pole and a tackle box full of everything he needs to go fishing for bass, catfish, and crappie. His grandma got him a Super Mario Bros. Cart game with steering wheels for his Wii U console. Guess which one he seemed to be most excited about? After all, as Farmgirl pointed out, it's still too cold to go fishing and my darn lake level is too low to take a boat out. When it warms up some, I know he's gonna be givin' my catfish heck. :D

Our pond is frozen solid and will be for some time if the weatherman has his way.
The birds are just struggling to stay alive.
We have Red Bellied peckers that live in the orchard in the summer but are usually all over the suet in winter. Haven't seen one for 3 days. The little guy on there has no competition.
The black oil sunflower seeds we had left over from last year (about a half bag) must have dried out too much over summer. They would not touch them. So we had to get a fresh bag. Never had that problem before.
I may have to plow snow next week if this keeps up:thumbdown:
So far the predictions have been way over what we actually got, which makes me happy.:)
