Good morning!!!!

padlock sure will give you indigestion....

Popgadget, I wish I had one quarter of your knowledge and skills. I think you and Kyle could fix anything.

raining, raining, raining but snowing West of Austin

Ken, great picture of your son. Soon he will support you in the style you want be accustomed to....does he have an agent yet?

Rich, smart to stay home. Ice is bad news, wrecks your property and almost impossible to drive in.

Ted, what elevation are you at?
How close to mountains?

We are right at 6915' in elevation. Mountains to the north of us are about a mile as the crow flies. Mountains to the west are about 10 miles, but they are much higher (10,500').

I bet Don has some great senior dancers in his neighborhood.

Oh yes, and some great teachers and classes. There is even a group of Rocketts, cloggers, and line dancers. When my knee was still a little good we took a class. Covid stoped it for a while. As soon as I recover completely (and then some) I'll have no excuses, by that time covid will be a non-issue also. The slow dance class was "Quick Quick Slow Slow" (two quick steps -two slow steps) sounds easy till you start incorporating turns and side by sides. I saw a line dance class going on while cards was going on, Just too much to do here. Everything is shut down today though, except the golf course is open for walking and that is where Whipper will have her walk. The roads are iced over and I do not need to see how the new $150K knee bounces - good call to close the county today.

Good morning! 26˚F Ice no snow, raining and freezing on the walks and road. High today 27˚.
Roy I'll send you a PM. I know we all want Ron back but if he cannot tolerate the moderators there is not much we can say or do. I wish the vote on the other thread was worded different. I should not have had to have a hesitation on typing the above paragraph. This post might get deleted also, read quick.

I don't know who moderates this thread. Any moderators like to say Good Morning?
this thing goes pretty fast and just keeping up is sometimes hard I think for all of us.
so wondering how they moderate, one person, a team? I'm all for it.

Don, I don't think there's anything about a line dance that should get pulled, except my back.
I always wanted to go to a Texas dance hall and watch a room full of folks dancing away.
I'm quite happy to watch and tap my foot.

To see a husband and wife in their 80's or 90's still flying around the dance floor, well
that has to be one of life's little blessings.

Buppies, snow is melting here, going to be a muddy swamp by tomorrow. Then a hard freeze.
That ought to get my flagstone walkway heaving every which way.

Good morning to all! Low of -5°, lower than predicted. It is now 0° at 07:30. Going up to 20°.

I would normally be very excited to go outside, fire up the tractor, and have fun plowing the snow...... I'm just not feeling it yet....
I did clear the porches and walkways manually .... now I'm tired.

Mostly, sorry to hear about your BIL, prayers sent for the family.

Gonna go clear the snow off the greenhouse roof.... then take another break.

Everyone have a great day!

Here's a pic of the side yard....

I was thinking of planting several apple trees here so I could be true to my avatar.
And then I reminded myself I live less than a mile away from two different apple orchards.
Both of whom keep me well supplied.
I don't want to attract deer so will think of something else to plant out back. Like a nice big weeping willow for the wet trench area.

foggy, rainy cold day, good day to look at plant catalogs. And dream of warmer days.
Ted cool pic of the snowy mountains. You are 1.3 miles up in the air already. Looks like nice clear clean air
