Texas Spring/Summer Thread

bird; When I was about the same age, I invented a new word, because of a scorpion. I didn't know any "bad" words, so came up with my own!

We had just enough rain yesterday to knock out the tower and internet service - 3/4".

I went to Houston today. Today is day one. I was accepted into the Century Heart Study today and completed all the base line exams, PET scan, pokes and prods. Every thing is looking good! The dietitian told the doctor I was the first patient that she could not suggest improvements on my diet and exercise. After hitting the maximum elevation and speed at the 12 minute mark on the treadmill the Doctor acted surprised and said that I just completed the best treadmill test that he has seen in the study - cardiac exercise almost every day does pay off. The study will last for 5 years and will include 1300 people (they need about 500 more) with heart disease.
One day down 1824 days to go.

Native; I don't wish floods or other bad things on folks, but I don't think one could flood me out. House and barn are on a hill, and tank is the lowest point on the property. It could take a week's worth of heavy runoff, and probably only then, begin to fill. Let me know when we are dancing, this weekend, and I'm in! I look for an excuse to dance, so rain dancing is as good as any. Beats the heck out of the, "I'm washing the dishes" dance! Maybe I should go dig in the closet for my spike heeled dancing shoes, so that I can get really serious!

OK You in your dancing shoes and me and a little war paint High Noon Saturday. Let's show them how this is done.

P.S. I'll be dancing out in the pasture where no one will see me and think I've been out in the sun too long.

Native; It's a date!

And my neighbors already believe that I am not the "brightest crayon in the box"! They'll probably just think I began drinking a little too early! :laughing:

Jim, funny you mentioning scorpions, we have killed 5 over the last week or so. We have maybe killed 2 in 4 years:confused3: Sunday I was watering my little pine tree and a big fat one came up out of the mulch, I mashed it and it was full of little tiny ones. We shake out our shoes now for sure!!!

East Texas so far has been OK, In Henderson now and a 10% chance of rain. Shreveport was "busy" as usual...Funny what you see walking around after sunset:laughing:

What is too early? I've always been told that I'm a little off of center, too. I've got to go see if I can find my War paint.

jinman; It should look like that in Texas Saturday!

Native; I have no idea what would be too early. :confused3: I'm sure the neighbors would think differently, but that's their problem! :cool2: :drink:

I got bit on the pinky by a baby scorpion when I was little at my Uncle's place up in Madisonville. I hope that is as far south as they ever come. I've never seen one around here.
