Texas Fall/Winter thread!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Back in the early 80s, soldiers dressed-up in their Class A uniforms and had activities & ceremonies on Payday.

I never waited around for the "hey you" details, so I jumped in my truck wearing my Class As...

I walked into Rosebud's one bar; wearing my Class As...next thing I knew, I was given the "rock-star" welcome....& every payday after.

Lampasas, TX...oh man; the place for a young GI to be (back then); on a Friday night, after a football game....& hiking in that river bed, what a blast!

Roper Bill's in Houston & Baylor University...a single man's paradise!

Oh, how I miss living Texas; even with my current life-style.

Ok, so you were stationed over at Ft. Hood?

Rosebud reminds me of this ahole.

But yes! Texas is great! Especially now when compared.

Kyle,
Is he still free or dead? I started reading the article, but realized it was a long and gut wrenching story, so I quit reading it.

Kenneth Allen McDuff (March 21, 1946 – November 17, 1998) was an American serial killer.

 

[Torvy]

He was finally executed. I wonder how many people died because of the Burger Court's decision in 1972?

Technically Fall now. This morning the weather is beautiful up here. 64 degrees at 8:25 am. Dry with just a hint of a breeze. I'm sitting here baffled as to why my builders are not here working while it is so nice. Yesterday, the masons doing the stone work didn't show up until noon. Shockingly, they didn't finish.

Have a great day, y'all.

Man it may be Fall at your place now but it's still freaking Summer here.

Only Fall on the calendar...maybe for a few hours in the morning. It has been in the 90s in the afternoon.

Truck said 97 today when I fed cows. Probably around 5:00. BTW, sometimes you seem to be in East Texas and others in Central Texas. Two properties?

Bastrop is technically both, not sure if that is where he is, but it is true.

I would put Bastrop in Central Texas, even though it has all those pine trees and looks like East Texas, since it is just South of Austin.

Thus why they are called the Lost Pines of Texas.

Yes sir. I stopped in your area and had a steak at Legends the other day.

Rained off and on all day yesterday and last night. Thunderstorm dumped a downpour around 8 this morning. More heavy rain expected this afternoon. Pond is about 1.5 feet from full. Was down a month ago about 5 feet.

Oh yeah, new rain gauge ordered. Old one broke. Lowes didn't have any.
hugs, Brandi

 

[Torvy]

Haha...Those two things related? Sounds a bit like it rained so hard it broke the rain Guage!

We just started getting a good drenching thus morning. Finally got the OK to move into my new house...and we get mud. I'll take it though. Dirt around here was like talcum powder.

 

[bindian]

No,
It was a cheap Mueller Metal freebie and broke sometime in the 54 days of 100 degree weather here.

When I went to Lowes, I couldn't find any, so I ordered on Amazon.
hugs, Brandi

What’s a “rain guage”?
