Never got below freezing yesterday, but a good rain that was much needed. We had 5/8 of an inch before we went to church and 2 inches when we got back home. Glad I didn't have to get out in it, just stayed in the house and watch the super bowl........well at least some of the commercials were worth watching.

Charlie

Except the coke ad.
Got another tenth of an inch rain last night. That comes to a total of 6/10ths over the weekend. Was bored Saturday before dark. Filled the Mahindra with "petrol" and decided to clean out the gully some. My "tail" lights flood the backhoe digging area good...........so I dug a while. Thinking I could dig yesterday also...............but winter came back with the rain and 39 degrees.
hugs, Brandi

28* and a little "icy" tody. forecast for the week looks like winter time in Ohio...oh yeah.....:laughing:

Watched the game yesterday...bah humbug.. I knew after the 1st play what was going on, The Cowboys somehow paid'd-off the Broncos to let them play wearing the Broncos uniforms.:shocked:

:laughing::laughing::laughing:
That explains everything. That duck thrower sure looked like he was in his first rodeo.
hugs, Brandi

I'd go anywhere in that plane, even Arkansas.
hugs, Brandi

 

[Lou66]

isn't that where the Ozarks are that you and FG be going to in the spring.:confused3:. Lou

 

[Western]

Lou, they are going into a Spring? hmm skinny dipping, or Hot Springs Sorry, tried caffeine free Sanka today:laughing:

 

[Lou66]

I was in Colorado one time but I didn't see no spring.:confused3:. maybe it was in the fall and it was well water.:laughing:. that why you should always water your on lawn.. by that way your grass will always be greener.:laughing:. Lou

I drop in to this thread after a day away, and cannot tell if I have been taking hallucinogenics, or need to.

Did I just see a two legged horse run by?

Lou, thought of you today as I ran two freshly cut dead post oak trees trough the electric splitter in about the same time it would take me to change an implement. Split every log this time.

 

[Lou66]

Don,, I split some live oak the other day that was well cured,, about two years down,, it had to work but it got it done.. well worth the money.. Live Oak is the tree of choice for most along the gulf coast.. for fire wood or bbq wood.. Lou

 

[txdon]

Lou, up here it's Post Oak wood for the Texas Monthly Magazine award winning BBQ in our little town.
Snow's BBQ, LLC. - Best BBQ in Texas - Lexington, Texas

Even those people in North Texas think so.

[Lou66]

I will take either Don.. we don't have a lot of post oak along the coast.. but do have a lot of live oak.. so it's live oak here.. but if I had my choice I would use hickory little of the green side and the center dark wood for bbq.. outside lite for firewood,, but I was raised eaten all meats smoked with hickory.. kind of like grandma apple pie.. no one made one better.:laughing:. Lou

Couldn't help it

Wow! Charlie, I'm GREEN with envy. My new rain gage said .47" of precip after I let the ice melt for a total reading. We really got a lot of ice yesterday and schools are closed today. Everything is white and not melting off at all. A good slow melt will ensure that all the moisture goes into the ground. We need every drop to soak in and do deep watering to roots.

It's up to 28 F here, so nothing is melting off yet. If we don't get some melt, they will not run school buses tomorrow either. The kids have missed over a week of school so far this year. They may have to extend the school year by a week if it keeps going this way.

I did enjoy the Super Bowl yesterday. I think Budweiser is the benchmark for classy commercials that bring a tear to your eyes while make you proud. Then, Doritos was the belly-laugh leader. The time-machine commercial almost made my wife and me fall off the couch laughing. Top notch stuff.:thumbsup:

Jim-- We're right proud of the rain we got. Went up yesterday morning to cut a down tree off the fence and almost couldn't get up in the pasture with the "Super-gooey East Texas mud.

Had an ole Navy buddy coming from Colorado to visit on Sunday. He called about 0600 from between Vernon and Witchata Falls and it was slow going thru all the snow. He thought he was still in Co. Thank goodness he didn't bring all of that with him.

Hope ya'll get thawed out this morning.
