Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Of course, mine are trained! They are better behaved than most people's human kids.

For some reason, I believe that a 1000% I would also bet your pups eat better than today's kids too:laughing:

Speakin' of glum. . . I was all set to sleep in this morning because we got a call last night that Alvord ISD was not opening schools until 10 AM. So, while I was snoozing under warm covers, I get a call at 8 AM saying school was closed today. Then, 1/2 hour later, the same call over again.:confused2: Then 1/2 hour later, my wife's cell phone rings with the same message. Sheesh! No rest for the wicked. . .

Jim, glad to see ya brudda!! I had the same darn thing happen and it started at 8:45pm yesterday:confused3: I had just passed out and 3 phones started going off for 2 school districts:mur: They promptly started again this morning grrr.......

Isn't it ironic that it's colder in N. Tx than it is in Sochi, Russia? I've been watching lots of Olympic coverage and the snow there is more slush than powder. What a shock! Maybe they should have had the Olympics in Siberia.:laughing:

That's bad. Interrupting a day off to tell you that you have the day off. :confused3:

I got up about 4:30 this morning, and looking at news & weather on the Internet & TV, schools closed, county offices closed, colleges in Denton closed, made me wonder if we were going to be calling to cancel/re-schedule my wife's doctor appointment this morning. But then at daylight, it didn't look bad outside, so . . . . well, sure enough it wasn't at all bad in this area; just a very few little icy spots; actually easy driving.

Sorry Charlie. You do know that was my Dad's middle name, well.........Charles.:thumbsup: Mom would say Sorry Charlie often.:anyone: Been too many days without the sun.:smiley_aafz: I don't remember a winter with at least some sunshine each week.

Actually, I have laying low here at home cooking up new projects.:licking: I'm gonna get back in raising rabbits:bunny: for meat.:licking::licking: I have been searching craigslist for cages and breeding stock. Slim pickings:thumbdown: out there right now.:melodramatic: Just youngsters for sale and no cage "giveaways":thumbsup:. I may build myself new cages.:wrench::hammer::money::bone: That will be $$$

Also, I almost bought two, full grown, Mallard drakes:duck::duck: and a hen:duck:. But they sold before I could get to see them. Now I am gonna order 5 pair of Mallards from McMurray Hatchery.:yes::applause::jump::hyper::cheerful: I plan on getting them in March. They will be day old and eager to bond with Me.:cloud9: I'll need to keep them in the barn under heat for a few weeks. I will also start Booger off near them and chase him away from them with my "training":mur::duh::fiery:ullinghair::hissyfit: broom.

I am taking off Thursday night to go to Austin this weekend. I plan on stopping in Smithville to see a Hudson :cool2:sawmil:dance1:l demostrated.:drink:
hugs, Brandi

Ummmm! Rabbit, taste likes chicken.....only better. I love Rabbilt fajitas.......but they make me a little jumpy.

Brandi, when I got into that, a brother & I built a one piece, 4 section, rabbit hutch, and I bought a buck & 2 does (New Zealand Whites). But before long, I bought 11 metal cages from Tractor Supply Co.:laughing:

It was just her routine 6 month checkup by the oncologist. And everything's fine.
