Hello to all. Sorry I missed breakfast call this morning. Started early with a one mile walk, even though it was dark at 7:00 am. Quick bowl of cereal and decided to work on a project I have been putting off - painting my small shop building. Standing on ladder for 1 1/2 hours and my knees...
Welcome. I have a love for Australia because of my WW II Navy vet father. He was stationed in Australia much of his service time and always spoke glowingly of the hospitality of their people.
Good morning all, and it is a beautiful one in DFW, Texas! Earlier conversation about how to identify a true Southerner. I am finding that is getting harder to as the years go by. It is like we are developing “hybrid” Southerners. I grew up, and have always lived in a rural county. It was...
Good morning to all. Beautiful day south of Big D. Well, the Governor Abbott caught us all by surprise yesterday. Everyone has their opinions but he had the responsibility for making the call. I would have waited to around first of April (after all the spring breaks). Schools were...
Good morning ya’ll! Beautiful day in the neighborhood. Had some rain last night and another shower just this morning. The boss lady informs me that I am overdue on getting my share of household chores done, so guess what I am about to do.
FLO - can I get a couple of sausage biscuits to go...
Flo- sorry i missed breakfast call this morning, but had to settle for pig in a blanket and donut from local donut shop at 6:00 am.
Willie - your second shot experience was better than ours. We went to Dallas Fair Park for the operation set up by Dallas County and FEMA. They really need to get...
Hope you plumber works you in soon. Plumbers are the most in demand people in Texas right now. My granddaughter is married to a plumber who normally only does new construction(mostly commercial). Right now he is voluntarily working repairs for his company because they are swamped. BTW -...
Rode one when we were visiting Alaska. Stepped out on platform at rear of car to make some photos. I am terrified of heights. Made a few shots then as train started around a curve I happened to look down - saw nothing but space and some trees about a mile below. It was then I decided I had...
Good morning all from south of Big D Texas where the sun is shining 🌞. Let’s see if we can get thawed out. Bright side of all this is that we are going to boost the economy of Texas. Millions of dollars of home repairs. Same with road repairs. We have been fortunate. Heard fan in shop...
Hey folks we finally have a chance of getting to 32 degrees today. Lots of prayers needed for people all over Texas. Already lots of reports of burst pipes, and will be tons more as temp warms up this weekend. There will also be lots of pr9blems with water mains bursting.
Lots of blame being...
i am guessing you are on the north side of DFW. I am south of Dallas. We just had our first outage about an hour ago. By the time we got candles lit and flashlights located lights came back on. We have had low water pressure all day with no explanation. Fortunately, we are on a slab...
Well we hit -1 degrees this morning. Lowest ever in my over 3/4 of a century.
Willie - have you tried a hair dryer on the frozen pipes. As I mentione’d a day or two back our washing machine sits right on the exposed north wall. So far the little electric heater seems to be keeping that wall...
