Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I still have Ghost. I would go with a fresh win10 install, and reinstall the apps, then network the drives to copy over files. I have USB adapters I can plug a drive into and then transfer files that way. Here’s one of them.

might have to get me a cable like that

Things are looking up here, I hope Kyle's water pressure problems are resolved. My mom is on a different water system and she only lost water for an hour. Her repairman came by yesterday with the part he ordered and fixed her main heater. She immediately called the propane company for a delivery but they were out and will not get a delivery to them till Tuesday, so she is on the list, but at 50% of a 250gal tank she should be good for 10 days to two weeks even if it stays cold.

Edit, now 19˚F but I see a bit of an orange glow in the East.

Good suggestion when you can change the bottles yourself.
She is paranoid of running out and during the winter calls for a fill-up every three weeks (about $150 to $200) when it gets close to 60%. The propane co. had a long line of people filling their 5 gallon tanks before they ran out. The county's tractors supply and Walmart must have sold out.
Kyle, how are you on propane?

We have water pressure back near normal. Don, we don't have propane. I hope the stores are able to stock up on supplies again.

Bupps, are you still hearing something cold for Texas again next week?

Ted, hope you can find some position to fill that is gratifying.

We are doing OK, but have symptoms of phlegm, body aches and headaches. we are blessed to have food, power and water. Still under boil notice I believe.

Sounds like some good muffins y'all. Wifey made some kind of healthy chocolate muffins.

Ron, nice photo of the pair.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and thoughts. I'm was going to go in on Monday, but with my symptoms having become worse, I might take off Monday too.

You will have to compete with me. This week I ran low on spelt flour and peaches and had to supplement my ginger/peach muffin recipe with 1/2 homemade oat flour and 1/2 raspberries with the peaches and adjust the cooking time. Added cashew/date/raspberry frosting, and they were the best ever.

We are making news around the world. From Australia:
Footage emerges of supermarket shelves stripped bare amid freezing polar storm in Texas : Top News de Australia

But you can’t post it on Facebook, they’ve disowned Australia. Cancelled the whole country like a rubber check!

one of these plates is going to Popgadget when he gets back home today :thumbsup:

He’s probably not going to give you a million dollars for them.

well, I'd give him at least a ten percent TBN discount...

32, feels like 20, constant NW wind about 20mph, gusting to 30+.

Fauchi, I believe is a good guy, when he follows the science and doesn’t get swayed by the politics of the day.
He appears a bit of a chameleon at times, but I do believe he has people’s best interest at heart.

I don’t see how he could resist that.

Kyle by March 01 supposedly the north gates will open again reality is that is what models show. If this release is similar to last one then the month of March will be cold and stormy. Because of the strength of the SE Ridge my guess would be a similar path of last arctic blast effecting you all in Texas again

Hope that answers your questions

Mike, just for “help” in using brushhog to clear those privets

These are the Mexican sunflowers I cleaned out a couple years ago using mower



This is same area (about the uncut area above) last Nov


Still a lot of work, but less than by hand.

might have to get me a cable like that

That was for 2.5”. For 3.5 ide, I have the base off of a 3.5” usb drive. I bought a couple once to harvest the drives to put in a NAS, they were cheaper than buying a bare drive.

On medical positioning....is coffee good or bad for you? How about an aspirin a day?

Depends on day of week I guess. Only drink 2 or 3 cups a day now, not about to quit. Been doing the baby aspirin daily for years. Cardiologist liked the last major workup I had so not changing that either.
