Of course not. But they pour it over haggis. Which is bloody revolting.
#s 78, 81, 82 – BACA has empowered HEROs even out in
Mudshoeer Muleshoe‘Twas actually flooding & muddy the day we was out yonder.

Abuck When my mom would allow, my dad and his buddies would take their stock cars and go to Clovis and race on Sunday afternoons, this would be after running in Lubbock or Amarillo on Friday and Saturday nights. They were the big guys running against the local guys in Clovis and kick butt. Lubbock and Amarillo not so much… Read more »
Night all. Enjoy all the great post. Even though I can’t contribute much! Still enjoy reading about what everyone is doing. Kinda makes me feel like I’m standing still by comparison. With SD driving all over creation. ELG getting ready for Spring. Shannon messing with computers. Katfish heading out every weekend Tedham and Bsue canning an all. Makes me wore… Read more »
Nite all.
Dripping Springs has gone Hollywood!
Austin is knocking on the door with all the “escapees’ the real-estate has gone sky high.
My brother dates a woman that has acreage there and it is crazy.
My brother and I have watched that area go from nothing in the late 70s to what it is today.
Not good.

Mine too. 🙂 Around 1994 Freddy Fender was at Joe’s Boot Shop right on Main St. And the Owner talked him into giving an impromptu free night of entertainment. We were lucky enough to be in Town at the time and enjoyed some great… Read more »
Does Mick & Co eat chili with beans?
Another way the guy in Dripping Springs made extra money was he would do buyouts of framing material, mattes and glass for pennies on the dollar for overstocks and bankruptcies.

It’s aggravating as hell and just not fair.
TexPat – don’t feel too badly… He does that to me in person – all the time. I will go thru what he always tells me to do and nothing works. He takes my laptop from me, and does all the things I just did, to no avail, and the old computer whisperer makes it work
Super Dave & Shannon I got know a guy out in Dripping Springs with a frame shop years ago. He used to bring all kinds of framed prints to our auctions. His shop was pretty simple and not all that complicated or expensive to start up. He was making a small fortune out of that little place by hitting the… Read more »
Shannon, I also did the Republic of Texas and Alamo Map in semi-matching frames. The Chili Queens were just icing on the cake. Wife has my den decorated in Texican motif and it’s looks pretty good. I should take some pictures and post them. 😉
I assure you, I can empathize. I did the 1898 Battleship Texas, too.
Good thing I just sold a calf.
Downloading the Old Win10 HD to the new Mac. I don’t what his MoJo is, but I had already done everything Squawk told me to do and yet when I got him on the phone and he told me what to do, all the damned files I need appeared like magic even though they refused to show up for me… Read more »

Pintos. I tried Jelly beans once. That sweet stuff does not go well with the chili.
According to the WordPress record, this website was updated with the Brazos River photograph at 12:47 PM CST today. I just spotted The Mighty Brazos River in Texas, I don’t know how long it’s been up but it wasn’t there when I fired up my computer a little bit ago. I know you guys from Alabama are a little slow on… Read more »
Just curious.
What kind of beans do you ruin your chili with?
ABuck
All my ex’s live in Texas too!
We’d go through Muleshoe going to Lubbock. My Cub Scout group took a train ride to Muleshoe from Lubbock as a field trip, then parents picked up there.
What? Would I tell a tall tail about something so important as the chili queens and the Alamo? Say it ain’t so!!
64 SQK
Sounds like a tall tale to me.
The chili queens worked the plaza from after the Civil War until the 1930’s.
Everybody knows that beans were invented at Texas A&M in 1939.
Katfish
Grandma Frijole says no chili for you w/wo beans.
I just spotted The Mighty Brazos River in Texas, I don’t know how long it’s been up but it wasn’t there when I fired up my computer a little bit ago. That said; my Hot Spot is slow tonight.
Annnnnnnnnnd they wonder WHY I wear TALL boots in here!
*NO SMILEY!*
Awright! I just got a text from John, a NASA buddy and he’s going to make the Seabrook Classic Cafe tomorrow. SO it’s going to almost be the whole crowd: Adrian, Carl, Clifton, Jesse, John, Ruben and ole Dave. 😉
Chili Queens at the Alamo What people may not be aware of, Tuesday night was Chili w/ Beans night at the Alamo. Every night could have been Chili w/ Beans but there was a substantial tax levied on beans in those days so the Chili Queens had to cut costs where they could. /I love my wife. She looked over and said…… Read more »
I ran into the Igloo factory store west of Katy the other day. I was surprised at the deep discounts. They used to do that every September, for a few days to clear out their inventory for the year. They used October 31 as the end of their year. I bought some neat coolers there, some 25 cents on the… Read more »
#42 Shannon, very nice! I love the rustic “Barn Wood Look” a buddy of mine back when I worked at Hobby had a precision miter and made frames out of discarded fence planks that he picked up on the curb I have several of his frames that he gave me along with hand cut matte’s and non-glare glass. He used… Read more »
Glad to hear SD reporting in safely. I miss that neck of the woods. Cooling off out here. I covered my roses with a tarp for the freeze tonight.
Dateline Nassau Bay, reporting from this quaint, cozy Air B N B, AKA hey let’s convert this backyard shed to a 2 bedroom 2 bath Hyatt Regency Suite,…or sumpin’ 😉 Actually it’s pretty neat, about 600 Sq Ft, I’m guessing with a small living room, nice well equipped kitchen and even a washer dryer. We rolled in about 3:45, a… Read more »
GJT says: February 16, 2023 at 11:33 am Hereford! You were close to Muleshoe and Wife 3.0 was from there. We made the trip from Tomball to Muleshoe maybe 50 times and it never got shorter! When we could start to smell Sudan, we knew we were close. Wife’s Dad was a sharker and mover in his younger days and if… Read more »
I would expect that anything less than $15.00 might not cover the deductible on insurance coverage. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11760443/Did-Joe-Biden-shoot-hobbyists-12-balloon-380-000-missile.html
So, if your company has a research object shot out of the sky by an F-22, does your insurance cover it?
I’m just knocking things off my to-do list. Just sent one of my company files off to the CPA.
I’m so darn proud of myself right now. It’s taken a long time to get here, and the relief is palpable.
That’s another thing about our new Hambone home…

Ima try that right now to see if it works for me: “The administrative state officers at the CDC have not made immunization status a reportable disease (yet) but immunization status is listed as one of the reasons for mandatory reporting.6 They are just one step away from being able to collect this information without your permission.

See my #43 to Harper
#39 – I’ve had that problem on this site where the post seems to disappear into the ether when including a quote. Usually someone in authority around here has been kind enough to release it into the wild after a while though.
My 42 Heh. When I took this photo of my newly framed print, the only light on in the living room was from an LED pharmacist’s floor lamp next to my recliner which I use for reading. Bizarrely, the non-glare art glass grabbed the reflected light, mixed it with hues from the green mat around the artwork, and it appears… Read more »
Sun cam out a little while ago, but the temp still never got above 50 degrees, and the wind will just cut right through you. Looking fo 27 tonight, so I might go out about dark and cover up my roses for the night. I did not open the greenhouse up, but there is condensate all over the inside, so… Read more »
#46 Shannon, what a treasure. It made me recall my grandmother looking at my oldest cousin and me (her oldest and youngest grandchild – some 8 1/2 years apart), shaking her head and saying “you two could deny you are related but nobody would believe you” ♥♥♥
BSue
We don’t have a date on the photograph. But an educated guess is that she was fifteen/sixteen years old.

Sound familiar?
My #42
The artist, (Robert) Julian Onderdonk (July 30, 1882 – October 27, 1922) was a Texan Impressionist painter, often called “the father of Texas painting.”
Go here for the Texas State Historical Association entry on him.

Often, whatever you paste into a comment does not immediately appear….to you. You have to refresh the page to see it as it appears on the blog.
So…. post, refresh, then it will appear.
Super Dave
I bit the bullet and paid a pro to frame mine….

I ran into the Igloo factory store west of Katy the other day. I was surprised at the deep discounts.
They’re having some kind of big sale on March 1-2, IIRC.
Here’s the quote w/o the origin…
