Already got my garden watered and the bird feeder filled up. There are a couple of plantings in pots that I may deal with today, but I’ve decided so far to skip the mowing. It’ll be hot today and tomorrow, then more moderate temps are scheduled to return later in the week. Checked on the worm bins and they all… Read more »
Well, good morning gang. Looking for a high of 97 today – that’s right 97 degrees out here in April. If I decide to get out and mow the yard I’d better do it early. Got today to prepare for whatever I need for the next few days if I can just remember what some of those may be. I’ve… Read more »
Hammie liked it, so it’s got to be good! Never got around to trying it and I lost the recipe.

I had a nap instead of lunch, and it was hard to get up since I was surrounded by big cats that wanted to lean on me. Now they are looking for some supper…
I built a base to hold a 3 x 4 foot granite slab, a cut off from our bathroom remodel. reclaimed 2 x 4s and long screws, drills, table saw, hand planer, clamps, and a pocket hole jig are the ingredients so far. It took 3.5 hours including going to the store. I am reminded how long it has been… Read more »

Got my laundry done and my bed mostly made back up. Tempted to try it out for a nap, but I’d rather stay up and sleep through the night tonight. I might go ahead and mow the yard again tomorrow.

We splurged and went to brunch at a favorite place in Richmond’s ETJ on FM 359 around 11 this morning to avoid the after-church rush that usually starts arriving around noon. The large plate the food arrives on can hold quite a lot of food, and it is quite a challenge for me to finish it all in one sitting. … Read more »

It’s clear blue skies and sunny here in the 50s. Tomorrow morning, we dip to 34, but that looks like the last time we are below 40 at night. Spring has finally whipped the winter.

Morning, fellow Hambonistas. That landing-the-plane story is fantastic! Billy was napping in my back yard grass when I opened the blinds. Soon got him fed, along with my 6 indoor sweeties. I worked the Sunday morning sudoku, then went out to the nearby kolache shop and got my breakfast favorites: bacon and egg sammich on a croissant bun. It’s so… Read more »

Good Morning Hamsters, At 7 this morning we had glorious sunshine and a promising sunny day. That all quickly turned to complete overcast by about 8:30 and looks to be settled in for the duration today. There had been some whispers of rain around us on the TV weather broadcasts yesterday. As usual, about the only moisture comes from the… Read more »
OH, to mh et al. I still feed a few feral cats outside. A couple of years ago a big tom cat with unusual marking showed up, and he’s not as afraid as the others, so we sort of made friends. His name was Crispy Too, just like my other cat named Crispy. During the big winter storm he took… Read more »
Good morning gang. Looking like it’s going to be another beautiful day today. May be some high overcast, but that’s fine with me too since my eyes are still sensitive to the really bright sunshine even after the cataract replacements. I’m continuing my surgical prep through managing my meds a little differently each day rather than the automatic routine that… Read more »

Back from a fun night at the track. He was pretty decent, making little progresses but in the feature two cars got tangled and spun in front of him and our left front suspension got torn apart.

#34 Adee, Billy is not around my cats; he isn’t invited to come inside. He has several spots in the back yard, shaded grassy spots where he is comfortable napping after a meal. I don’t think my cats can see him in any of those “nests”. They’ve seen him a few times when he’s been on the patio or the… Read more »
Perhaps Billy is deaf or nearly deaf, and thus the perplexing behavior. Glad to hear he is a happy guest for meals at your home. Hope the feline residents in your home don’t dislike him.
I just watched the Waco series on Netflex and I followed the story pretty good back when it took place and was really pissed so now I’m reminded again about how the Feds murdered those folks in the compound. Yes David Koresh was a nut-job but hey didn’t have to storm the compound and prove him right about Armageddon.

TexMo,
Prayers for you and the doctors being able to relieve the nasty side effects of chemo. You have been through Hell and back already.
I just watched the Waco series on Netflex and I followed the story pretty good back when it took place and was really pissed so now I’m reminded again about how the Feds murdered those folks in the compound.

Hang in there TexMo good to hear from you.
