Well, OSU was in a bowl game but they lost. Had a good season though.
OU is playing for the National Championship next Thursday.
May take Bo out to the lake later today. Forecast to be in the 60's.

Bo sure does enjoy the lake. Have fun! It is -11 here right now. The cold spell continues...daytime highs are supposed to make it above zero, maybe, by mid-week.

WELCOME TROOPS, ALLIES, AND FAMILIES
TO THE
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activites.
~ Today.... Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers this morning... Then partly sunny this afternoon. Highs in the lower 40s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 40 percent.
~ Tonight.... Partly cloudy in the evening...then becoming mostly clear. Lows in the upper 20s. West winds around 10 mph...becoming northwest after midnight.
I hope everyone out there in FReeperLand had a safe and fun New Year's celebration.
Boy, I hate waking up six o'clock and it's still dark outside almost as much as looking out the window at seven o'clock and see it's STILL dark. UGH!
And, it's cold again. Thankfully not as cold as some places.
Was that Wednesday wind wicked? (bet you can't say that 10 times real fast -LOL).
Now that I am totally spoiled with being able to sleep in until six, I have to go back to work on Monday.
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

Good evening, TS....hope you had a great New Years Day. Do you have snow yet? Are you gripped with cold like half the United States? It's only really cold when the winds blowing. It hasn't been too bad.
We had a little snow last week, not much. The other night there was a dusting that was gone by the morning. I still salted the driveway and the front steps, just in case.
How are things up by you?
Happy New Year.
