***Good Duck and Pheasant hunting in the area too.***

We're lookin' forward to it!

[puppypusher]

Kathy,knees doing pretty well and not being bothered much by the nasty weather we’ve been having.

As far as the weather go’s we only got about three inches of snow which suited me just fine.The weather people hyped this storm up so bad that al of our schools were closed,though I guess that’s normal for here because as soon as they get two inches on the ground they shut down.

I do look forward to spring and its coming,I could feel the intesity of the sun on myself as I was clearing the snow from the driveway.By the time I was done the sun melted the snow that remained.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Just filled........and I am on my way home.

[luvie]

Hi, BB! I thought about you today when I saw the pictures
of the snow in the Dallas area! I had a feeling that this
was a “non-event” for a northeastern escapee like yourself!

Glad you are safe and sound, though! Texas drivers are crazy
on the roads in bad weather!

(((LBH)))

[AZamericonnie]

LOL...I covered...safe travels!

[NYTexan]

Howdy LS,

I’m still waiting for the plasma vaporizer rifle modification for the SUV....

Most folks seem ta drive at half speed for no good reason!

[luvie]

That IS a lotta snow, MY! We didn’t get a flake, though
it was forecast for us. I am thankful we didn’t! I don’t
much care for driving in it....not even for fun! LOL!

[AZamericonnie]

LOL....you reeled me in with the solitude...then the kid in you came out!:)

Glad you had some fun! lol

[mylife]

I would have loved to make a day of it.

[luvie]

Out here they go as fast as possible in slick weather, and then they wonder why their SUVs climb the railings on the overpasses! LOL! Whoopsie!

What on earth is a “plasma vaporizer rifle modification”? LOL!
I thought you were speaking another language for a minute! :D

[mylife]

Most of the day was slop covered in white.

Still, I liked it better than plain slop. LoL

Tomorrow morning may be a challenge so I should get to bed.

Gnight Luv

[AZamericonnie]

She was very upset at me!

I'm heading out for the night.

Which means HiJinx will show up soon I bet!:)

Sweet dreams all & have a great Friday!

[luvie]

Nite, MY! Hope tomorrow’s “slop” isn’t too icky for ya.
Your white truck will be mostly brown! LOL!

[HiJinx]

Just changed the dressing a little while ago and the wound is clean

Was it a do-it-yourself dressing change, Doc?

[mylife]

Its likely to be ice by then if the local gov doesn’t do their job I will fall back on my own experience and coast across the bridge.

It will be fine.

[mylife]

How’d Djoo bust yer head?

You alright?

[NYTexan]

[HiJinx]

And the pheasant and duck hunting can’t be beat!

[HiJinx]

I reckon I shoulda read on a bit further...

[HiJinx]

Which means HiJinx will show up soon I bet!:)

Am I that predictable? Sheesh!
