Heckofadrivebutwemadeit PING!
Welcome to Texas! :)
I could swear I saw that yesterday, between Amarillo and Claude. The sun was considerably higher, though.
:)Hey! Iz dat a Kalifornee flag yore flyin' thar?
Well, ya DID have a LONG drive and I'm
shore ya jes haven't had tam to fix it up. :)
Fixed, and thank you fer pointin that out to me.
I did'nt change the phone numbers for a couple of e-mails that I sent at work this morning, either. One of my LA buddies pointed that out to me, too.
The details are slowly getting dealt with...
Yay! Way to go. :^DI know you must be overwhelmed with stuff goin' on right now.
I was just kidding, and I know you know that. :)
WOOHOO!
Welcome to Texas!
The first Shiner is on me.
I lived in Houston for 6 years from '78 to '84. As much as Texas has to offer, I cannot abide a land in which you have to drive all day to get to some mountains. As annoying as California politics and society can be, my bond with the mountains and rivers of the Motherlode is now complete.
Hars a few thangs ya need ta know....
You Know You're from Texas when :
* You only know five spices-salt, pepper, Ranch dressing, BBQ Sauce and ketchup.
* You design your Halloween costume to fit over Wranglers and Cowboy Boots.
* The mosquitoes have landing lights.
* You have more miles on your tractor than your car.
* You have 10 favorite recipes for Deer meat.
* You've taken your kids trick-or-treating when it was 90 degrees outside.
* Driving is better after it's rained because the potholes are filled with mud and you don't have to take those backroads to go "mudding."
* You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.
* You owe more money on your bulldozer than your car.
* The local paper covers national and international news on 1/4 page, but requires 6 pages for local sports.
* You can write a check at Dairy Queen for 2 Hunger-Busters and fries.
* At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.
* The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun.
* Your leaf-blower gets stuck on the roof.
* You think the start of Deer season is a national holiday.
* You frequently clean grease off your barbecue so the coyotes won't prowl on your deck.
* You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
* The major county fund-raiser isn't bingo - it's sausage making.
*You find 70 degrees Fahrenheit a little chilly.
* The trunk of your car doubles as a sauna.
* You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry,and your Cowboy Boots.
* You know 4 seasons - Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Deer Season.
I hope you're family is happy in their new home in this great state.
PS You have freepmail.
Welcome to Texas. You can get car tags, etc. either in McKinney or at the sub-courthouse in Plano. If I remember the order, first you have to have insurance, then you have to get your can inspected (two levels of inspection. A cheap electronic one for newer cars, and a more expensive treadmill test for older ones), and then, with insurance and inspection certificates in hand, you can then buy a tag and do the title transfer thing. I'll freepmail you some info on the homeschooling group over the weekend.
Thank you kindly. The wife is heading up to McKinney later this am to get a TX Driver's License.
