Lil is in bed too.  Has another 5 am shift tamarra and a week of them after that.  She's payin the price for doin a good job.  She wants to run the garden or sporting goods department so they have her jumpin through hoops.  I think she is gonna make it an I'm pullin for the sporting goods.

[Sod Buster]

Cawfee's up!

[Leo Tanner]

Thanks SB, I was just getting up ta do it.  This early in the mornin Dad's fried egg sammiches are bout the best I can give ya all.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Thanks, guys. It'll do just fine

30 and dark here. Looks like we're supposed to get that nasty four letter word here in a few days......Buck

[Leo Tanner]

It could definitely snow here if it wanted to.  Tolt Lil ta be real careful on the road.  Zombie deer walked out in front of her again last night.  It needs to be shot an burned the way it's acting.  Call me Sally but I like gettin up an sendin her off with a hot breakfast and a cup a Cawfee.  Rest of the day is kinda strange cause I don't know which way is up by about noon.  Guessin there is a big fat nap right around the corner.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee and grub, pards.

The kids shared their colds with me. So, I'm home trying ta sleep it off.

'Tis 39 and sunny. "Becoming cloudy. A chance of light rain early in the afternoon. Light rain likely late in the afternoon. Highs 40 to 45. Southeast wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent."

Partly Cloudy ‘n 55°. Nice.

As a veteran housewife, I can tell ya. Get ta bed early ‘n get up early. Enjoy the quiet time while they’re at work. After four ‘n a half days of the fat lady out of school I was so happy to see ‘er back out of the drive this mornin’.

I went ta Sam’s t’other day. Wanted tube socks ‘n they only had crew. I have a fit gettin’ crews on right these days. Said somethin’ to ‘er about bein’ disappointed in Sam’s.

She goes mallin’ with Andi yestitty. Gave ‘er a twenty ‘n asked ‘er to buy some tube socks if she ran across ‘em. Come home all sad ‘n whinin’ cuz Andi don’t like to shop. Goes in, gets what she wants ‘n gets out. She drops a six pack of socks on the breakfast nook table.

Got errands ta run this mornin’. Shower up, dress, rip the package open, clip the l’il plastic thingy ‘n find out she brought home twenty two bucks worth of crew socks.



Get well, Slim

[Leo Tanner]

I do enjoy the quiet but it happens ta be when I should be sleepin.  Poor girl got off at 6 last night an had ta be back in at 5.  She got me some special socks but I can't tell what's so special about them but thanked her just the same.  They was crew style an no matter what tactics I used I couldn't get the toe right an the ankle spot was wadded up on the side.  She worries about ma feet so I just smile and say thanks but tubes are the way ta go.   

[Arcey]

Been wearin’ Crocs with no socks but it’s gettin’ chilly ‘n Crocs ain’t real warm. Still want me a pair of orange Mario Batali Crocs.

Maybe it’s age, I dunno.

Did some research on digital kitchen scales. Got tired of watchin’ her struggle with that Weight Watcher’s spring thing she’s used for years to do the points voodoo. Ennyways, I get a digital. Show her how it woks. Ever’thing was lovely ‘til I used the word ‘tare’.

‘Why is it ‘tare’?

I tried to explain gross weight, net weight ‘n such.

‘Huh?’

Then I told ‘er it was the Italian Chefs’ term for ‘zero the scale’ ‘n she was happy. Ya take that scale off the counter today ‘n she’s gonna fight ya.

Arcey, I know what you mean about the long weekend. I got the Moose off to work this morning. We're dog sitting a neighbor's Boston bulldog, so Victoria has a playmate. It's hard to organize playtime activities for them.  I bought me one of those Zuerig one cup cawfee makers over the weekend. I also bought a box of assorted brands. It seems to ebe easier to brew just one cup at a time instead of a whole pot. I enjoy some cawfee in the morning with my oatmeal and toast. We had our first frost over the weekend, but it's still in the 60s during the day. I heard yesterday that "Chuckie" was still in Fort Worth being repaired. They were supposed to run up the engines yesterday.

[Delmonico]

Well brother sent me the pictures from his trail camera, I got the best one in the computor and even with out my good programs at home I got it figured out with what I have at work.  A little bit on the light and contrast and the thing has rings on it's tail:



Big one, very dark colored one but I'm sure it's a coon.

The raw one does make it look strange:



Coyote don't like it at all, big ol' boar coon might whoop him if he ain't careful.

[Silver Creek Slim]

It looks strange in yer doctored pic too.

[Delmonico]

It's also infra-red also, the rings do show when I worked over the lighting and contrast.  I'm pretty durn sure it is a coon.  The Wolverine thing scared me, don't want to have one hanging around.  Was reading they have been know to travel hundreds of miles and we are with in their historic range.  Be my luck if I caught up with it the dang thing would have a radio tracker on it.  That can be hard to explain.

[Leo Tanner]

You don't want a big coon around either.  They carry all kinds of disease out here including tapeworms that go to yer brain.  That aint no myth er legend.  They will take a chunk out of a dogs head if they get ta fightin.  When I see one I ferget about how cute it is an put it down.  When they is dead you can see the teeth an they aint nothin nice.  Haven't seen one in awhile, I guess word got around that there was a new sheriff in town. 

[Leo Tanner]

Cawfee is on.  Got some cold pizza ta choke down ta boot.  I'll try ta be more creative next time.  We'll see what happens when I clean the fridge out.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Thanks, Leo. Ah, cold pizza................Breakfast of champions

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee and grub, Leo.

Still not feeling well. I just want ta sleep.

'Tis 39 and overcast. "Cloudy. Areas of fog with periods of drizzle this morning...possibly mixed with patchy freezing drizzle. Scattered rain showers early in the morning...mixing with then changing to snow showers late morning or early afternoon. Morning highs 38 to 43 then slowly falling. Wind becoming west 10 to 20 mph."

Arcey, I know what you mean about the long weekend. I got the Moose off to work this morning.

Mostly Cloudy 61°

Enjoy the gizmo in good health, Tex. I celebrated by buyin’ me a couple hunks of Pyrex.

[Leo Tanner]

Morning All.

30 er so here.  Lil finaly got a day off so we's tryin ta enjoy it.  I'm so used to wakin at 0330 that I didn't know what ta do with myself.  Found out the plumbing worked an kept real quiet so's she could sleep in.  Figgured I should keep the usual pace up so things is consistent.  Back to the usual tammara.

[Arcey]

Well I’ll be damned. After gettin’ slam kicked out, put on the watch list ‘n discussin’ ‘insensitivity’ with the staff, I’m the featured commenter on the paper’s website. I’m pretty proud of that. The comment simply came from the heart.

That's great Arcey.  Stuff like that is always a kick in the pants.  I agree with you 100% and I am sure several others do too.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Pirates and terrorists, same solution.Instant justice and leave'em rot where they fall.No big splashy headlines, just drop'em and move on.............Buck

Coffee's on, had snow in the grass when I took the dogs out. Streets are okay, no shoveling......yet...........

[Texas Lawdog]

We had a cold front come through last night and the wind has kicked up. Victoria is enjoying the cool weather. Her playmate went home last night and I'm back to one dog again. The Cawfee is good this morning. A good cup of Cawfee always helps me wake up in the morning.

[Leo Tanner]

Thanks fer the Cawfee Buck.  Spent most of our day off sleeping and was up at 0300 cookin fried english muffins fer Lil.  If ya never had em that way give it shot, you'll throw yer toaster away.  Put whatever ya want on em be it jam or ham.
