Texas Fall/Winter thread!

You know we could make anything happen,

That's the attitude that will lead you to success!
Nice layout of the store. Controlling mold will be extremely important and of course free feeders that find their way in the dark with their whiskers. A few rat traps along the walls might be a good idea.
As you learn your market and what sells the most some pallet racks will give more space and help control FIFO without a lot of time wasted shuffling product.

Before you know it you will be having your first year anniversary sale.
Best of Luck,
Ron

It rained slow and steady for 2 days and we got a much needed 1 3/4. I was looking at the back yard yesterday and the grass is green and beautiful. I thought I was done with mowing for this year but maybe not. The Fall colors are really starting to turn, so it looks like it will be a nice Fall Season.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable Veterans Day. We're having a Veterans Parade Saturday in town. It's the first one that I remember since we've been here so we're going to try to go.

Supposedly a hard freeze coming later next week.

Yep, this time worked out just right for me. I mowed, edged, and trimmed our yard and one next door, then spread $50 worth of Scott's Winterguard fertilizer on our yard the day before the rain arrived. We never got any heavy downpour that might have washed any of the fertilizer off, but in the 2 days of light rain, my gauge showed about 1.57" of water that should have that fertilizer soaked in pretty good.

Bird--Perfect Timing and not much beats good timing. Our rain was steady for 2 days........no puddles just a good soaking.

66* This morning and close to freezing tonight.......Texas Weather. We've have to go to Dallas Fri & Sat for youngest son's wedding. We're sure hoping for no moisture. This looks like a "Blue Norther" on the way in. What ever happens will happen fast.

Wow, that temp dropped fast. It was 63 this morning at 6 when I fed horses. Temp dropped 10 degrees between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. It's now 49. They say it's going to bump back up to mid 50s this afternoon, then fall to near freezing over night. Wind has picked up. No riding for me today. Don't feel like putting on warmers and still freezing.

It was 40 degrees here this morning when I took our Chihuahua for walk in the woods in a park, but with the wind, it felt a lot colder to me. But it didn't bother the little mutt at all.

Bird-- Why shouldn't he be fine? I know he's well fed enough to have a thick warm coat.

He has a lot less area for the wind to cool and he is way lower to the ground.:thumbsup:

Dang it's cold. I'm too used to the heat.

Yeah, this morning it was 31 with a light northerly breeze when I took the little mutt to the park, but she enjoyed it just as much as ever. She turned 9 years old Friday and has never seemed to care how hot or how cold the weather is.

Our JRT wants nothing to do with the cold. She is in bed. I had to drag her out this morning and again this afternoon.

Ditto Scott.

.........as long as the rain stays away.................it's just fine for me. 36 and raining, early this morning, at Hobby. Both hangar doors had planes sticking out of them. Too cold to nap in the hangar. But my Cummins heater worked just fine.

Brandi-
I use to nap in the intake of my F-8 if it was in the hanger bay. If it was really cold I'd get one of the other P/C to put the intake cover on..........Snug as a bug, blow up my inflatable vest for a pillow.

28 degrees this morning with a light northerly breeze and I didn't want to go to the park. So I let the little Mutt out into the back yard to take care of business, which she did in about 5 minutes, came back in, and still wanted to go to the park. So first I went and bought a few groceries, AND a little heavier jacket with hood for myself.:laughing: So by 10 a.m., it had warmed to 30 degrees and I took her to the park for a walk in the woods for about 45 minutes. As usual, she was not anxious to get back to the truck, but she didn't protest too much.

Yes...........the good old days. Now a days, the first stage fan is right there and it turns with wind up the tail pipe. Each blade has some play built into the base that clatters when the blade spins to the top and it drops down into the rotor hub. So with 38 or 24 blades (depending on engine model) it goes clank, clank, clank...........with no way to sleep. Cabin seats can be utilized with the fold up arm rests.
