Well good morning all. I’ve been perusing the morning news about the State and notice that the Houston media seems to be all hyped up about the fact that it rained this week. Why do I smell another rain type tax on the way. Are they going to start hyping every rain storm in Houson now as the next Harvey? Seems that way. Good grief, it rains somewhere in Houston every day. I guess the weathermen’s union is gaining strength ever since they started politicizing the weather. That’s a really sad situation.
In other news, they’ve got Trump for sure this time on something hyped up by one of the Mueller prosecutors – at least according to the press. How many times have they had Trump in their grasp before only to have him escape their clutches. But this time, they’ve got him for sure. Beto is guaranteed to be our next Presdient and save the nation from all the damage that Trump has put us through. Lord have mercy.
You all have a great day. Blow up your inner tubes, put on your we suits, and go outside and float the flooded streets and neighborhoods while you can. -
I very rarely watch local news. If it weren’t for friends and family texting me from around the country I wouldn’t even know I was dead.

Hey, Hamous paid the Light Bill!

And I want to know which one of you is sending Hamous $4 a day ?
It’s a long story, involving a chain saw and a washing machine,…..you don’t want to know……. 😀

I know who’s not getting it.

Next time I see someone hanging out at I-10 and Barker holding a tin can I may just have to drop 5 bucks in it.
It could be Hamous taking donations to keep the blog power light on.

SpyDuckus monitors.
When I saw the Account Suspended message the conspiracy theorist in me whispered Big Brother pulled the plug.

I tried to get that duplicate of the first post deleted, but the help is apparently off on weekends. I guess for $4 per day, you have to allow for some days off in there. I’ve contracted with O. J. Simpson to track down the other 655 unique visitors, so look for the answer there shortly.

Leftist woman at Slate gives props to Ted Cruz about his new beard.
That all changed this week, when Cruz showed up in the Senate with a filled-out salt-and-pepper beard, giving his face a defined jawline and its first-ever hints of ruggedness and affability. The bloated, downy visage of a college debate team showoff is gone. A marginally less insufferable mug has arrived.
Talk about damning with faint praise.
-
Jury duty pays 6 bucks a day.

Most wimmins are so shallow. Takes another man (e.g. Sabo) to see what Cruz really looks like.

Maybe bobo42 and that Shamu guy still peek in… I guess you can read this site even if you can’t log in?

A UK parliamentary committee has published 250 pages’ worth of Facebook documents, including e-mails sent between CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other senior executives.
How did they get them? The files were seized by UK authorities just over a week ago when Ted Kramer, founder of US software firm Six4Three, was in London. Kramer has been in a legal battle with Facebook since 2015 over developer access to user data.
examples…
—Facebook “whitelisted” certain companies, meaning that they still had full access to users’ friends’ data after platform changes in 2014-15, including Airbnb, Netflix, and Badoo. “It is not clear that there was any user consent for this, nor how Facebook decided which companies should be whitelisted or not,” said Damian Collins, a member of Parliament and committee chair.
Zuckerberg lied to Congress about this.
and,
—Mark Zuckerberg wanted “full reciprocity” between Facebook and app developers: you share all your data on users with us, and we’ll share all of ours with you.
—Facebook found ways to access users’ call history without alerting them, in order to make “People You May Know” suggestions and tweak news-feed rankings. Facebook planned to make it as hard as possible for users to know that this was happening.

Looks like he got a new tie and hairstyle too.

Say it ain’t so, Ted.
Another damn beard.

Cruz is the only man I’ve ever seen that a beard makes him look younger.
It usually adds about ten years.

I’m lost. It’s Saturday and the only college football on is FCS.

Approaching that horrific time of year between football and golf.
Bring on rugby!!!

Home opener for the Sabrecats is February 22.
The AAF season starts February 9. No Houston team, though. You’ll have to wait until next year for the reboot of the XFL for a team in Houston.
Then there’s the upcoming FFL:
The FFL said in a press release that players in the league will be encouraged to “address society’s challenges relating to social justice, wealth disparity, health and wellness and more hot-button issues they are passionate about.”
Because nothing says football like preachy SJWs. I predict it never plays a down.

It’s the Army-Navy game at 2PM. The pageantry is great, and it pits America’s future military leaders in a friendly game that is watched, cheered about, cursed, and bet on around the world. Trump is tossing the coin, so one side will already be able to blame Trump no matter what. Somehow I think he will be in safe surroundings in this venue. I admire the heck out of these players because I know how much they have to put into the football program by itself, but also because they do that in addition to their other duties all the students must perform – and it’s more than just reading books at the military academies. Great show and great stage for some of our nation’s finest.
-
Because nothing says football like preachy SJWs. I predict it never plays a down.
They have to kneel the entire game?
-
Trump better watch his back. These days the service academies are turning out their share of SJWs, too.

Obama purged the military of its warriors placing women and pervs into high ranking positions in their places. I’m sure people like linda graham would throw a hissy fit if he tried to replace some of these folks, but you never know. The bureaucrats will tell you that plenty of Presidents have come and gone while they are still there in their position, so who knows. But so far, the military seems to be responding in a positive manner to Trump.

Twas the Night before Christmas
and all through the White House
The Deep State was stirring
scaring even the mouseThe stockings were hung
by The Clapper with care
containing Bluetoothy bugs
The Kenyan planted thereBotox Nan was nestled,
all snug in her bed,
while visions of hypodermics,
danced in her head,And the NY Mayo Stain,
he was there too,
His pud in one hand
and a girlie mag in hand twoWhen out on the lawn,
there arose such a clatter,
Botox sprang from the bed,
cheeks drooping and tattered,To the window she staggered,
in a haze of bonged hash,
and Botox then shuddered,,
she spied queen Billary’s lard @$$the moon shone bright,
on her lunar eclipsed rump,
casting shadows on the Serfs,
like a black tarry stump,then suddenly she screamed,
at the top of her lungs
WTF Happened?,
I got beat by a chump!when…,
what to Botox’s eyes should appear,
but a disgraced persecutor,
colluding with 8 Russian reindeerHis head was block shaped,
and 40 million he’d spent
then Botox knew in an instant,
it was the Deep State’s, biggest dickFerris rambled on,
as his FIBby words came,
as he spit, and he snuffed,
and he called them by name:“Now, Dossier! Now Hoaxin!
Now Newspeak and Now Brennan!
On, Potato Head! On Mako!
On Liars, F Freedom!and with his tank full of media pimps,
he let out a great yawn
And there was an irrational madcow,
a true Newspeak pawn.When Botox drew in her head,
and was turning around,
Down the chimney Ferris came,
subpoenas aboundHe was dressed like a mobster,
from his head to his feet,
With a bundle of propagandist reporters,
flung tight near his cheeks,His eyes how they gleamed
as he huffed and he sputtered
He started to speak,
Botox couldn’t here a word that he uttered!With his botched anthrax case,
and his framer of the innocent tricks,
He said “I’m gonna impeach this Trumpster,
that obstructionist deer tick.”He squinted his eyes,
and scratched his rock-em-sock-em robots, block head
While the Newspeak Mobs media,
covers for Deep Stated Feds,He uttered not a word,
with his fake dossiers in tow
And all the stockings he filled,
with malice and pig toesAnd laying his middle finger
on the left side of his nose,
He yelled UP YOURS America,
as he puffed up and rose,He leaped back in his tank,
and gave his Hoaxdeer a salute,
And Botox heard his twisted words,
as he drove off in a hoot,“Listen up deplorables, I say this tonight,
I’m gonna overturn this election,
it’s my Deep State delight
I’m Ferris “Truth” impaler,
A swamp denzion with mightand to this country America,
I say this very night,
To Hades with Christmas,
Globalism’s your future,
and your pre-destinated plight” -
I’ve been running around all day and I have accomplished a good bit, most importantly a haircut, I got in early and was out in 30 minutes with no wait. With the bad weather, I had to dry the bed clothes in the dryer, bummer but it didn’t take long. I just put a big ole pot of chili of the stove and forgot that I didn’t have enough milk for the cornbread, so on the beer run to the Leper Colony, I’ll pick up some. 😉

I was more than a little concerned when I saw the lights out notice. I’m visitingthe girls and I have all these cuteness stories to share…
LD2 does NOT want to take a nap. She needs one. I went upstairs to see if Noona magic could get her into bed. Nope. I got the evil eye instead. From a four year old.
I’m telling you guys…if I disappear it’ll be because I’ve been combusted in place by the glare of a little girl.

Good afternoon Hamsters. The noisy and sorta rocky night left us with about 4.5″ of wetness on the ground that’s almost soaked in or drained off now. Will be squishy for a few days probably, but no damage and no water crept into the barn or the extra garage for the horse trailer, aka the carriage house. Windy and downright cold at 46. Clearing of sorts seems to be happening slowly to the NW, and the breeze just picked up. It will be cold tonight.
The mares stay in the barn today and out of that wind that has teeth. Can’t take a chance that they might slip and fall in the wet pastures if the cold entices them to run some. They are respectable retired old ladies who can’t race around as when young. Contessa is 26.5 years old, and Ruby’s probably 15 or 16 as estimated by two vets who looked at her teeth. Much of Ruby’s history is not known other than her numerous arthritic joints scream of reckless overuse at a young age.

My Rain Gauge only goes to 5″ but I can extrapolate another 1/2″ and it was running over so I’d go with channel 9’s 6″ for Friendswood, sounds about right.
have you ever tried to make up a bed with a crazy Lil Dawg helping you? She thought it was a game and she needed to grab the sheets, but I trampolined her until I got her off the bed. -
My cat used to like to help make the bed. He’d get under the sheets when I was flappin them to spread them out, so then I’d try to get him trapped under there while he was frantically trying to escape. Quite a game we had going there until one of my friends came over with a blow up mattress to sleep on the floor – kitty claws made short work of that idea.
Sorry folks, but phil wins the internet today. High for the day out here has been 39 degrees with overcast and rain all day. Pretty dreary, but good sleepin weather.
Mama’s gonna want a clock on that stove or you’re gonna have to get Santa bring her a watch.

Update on DFW-San Angelo-Abilene….
Sis-in-Law:
“According to the pilot, as we approached the San Angelo Airport there was a total loss of visibility. And there was something wrong with a critical navigational system on the ground, so he aborted the landing.” -
I won’t discuss Max and trying to make the bed.
I don’t want to ruin my good mood. -

This is a long post over at No Pasaran, run by a couple of conservative guys in France. They explain what’s really going on there.
It is not wrong to say that the demonstrations were caused by the government’s decision to raise gas prices. What is missing is that this is just one of several draconian measures dating back half a year, i.e., ‘tis the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.
For the past four to five months, the French government has done nothing but double down on bringing more and more gratuitous oppression and more and more unwarranted persecution measures down on the necks the nation’s drivers and motorcycle riders.
In fact, the imposition of ever harsher rules has been going on for the past decade and a half or so — whether the government was on the right or on the left …/…
…/… What has been most irksome for les Français since the turn of the century has been the ubiquitous radars, which, like red-light cameras in the United States, are accused of having (far) more to do with bringing revenue to the state than with road safety.
And just like the arms industry in the Soviet Union, if there was one area of France where the technology was always moving forward, it was the radar business.
Over the years, the radars have become evermore stealthy and insidious. …/… What has happened since shows the Deep State at work in Europe just as much as, if not more than, in North America — and this leftist statism is the kind of news that has been ignored by the mainstream media, in France itself as much as abroad. …/…

A bitter Miss Bumbum contestant is being fined $30,000 after getting into a catfight on stage and stealing the winner’s sash.
This year’s racy Brazilian pageant — which celebrates curvy backsides — ended in shambles after runner-up Aline Uva ripped the sash off winner Ellen Santana, screaming that she had won using illegal butt implants.

Hubs wanted to have flannel sheets on his big bed upstairs, but we couldn’t find the top sheet for his one and only set of flannels. He is old-school adamant about not wanting to have too many of anything. But I ordered him a new set online anyway, getting credit for it as a Christmas gift. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday but in the Houston rain hysterics, it wasn’t. It did come this afternoon, went straight into our newish and still unloved modern GE laundry machines. By the time I got up from my nap, the new sheets were dry so I went upstairs to help put them on. Well, anytime I go upstairs, most of the cats trail along and so they did. Or 4 of the 6, anyway. Takes 3 times as long when at every step you have to clear several maniac felines from under the covers.

Flannel bed clothes don’t work for me. One day after shaving my head, flannel is like velcro. After a couple of months the pillow cases are worn to shreds.

Our osprey has been hanging around for a few weeks now. First time I ever saw one was on Padre in the 90’s. The bird has a favorite perch on a piling about 60-70 yards from the door. It makes a key-key sound sort of like a hawk but higher pitch. Have had chances to photo the bird in action several times. I have some grade A glass and Nikon FA and Mamiya film cameras. Does Nikon make digital cameras that use AI glass? I could google that. Maybe somebody here knows about that.

Phil wouldn’t stand for it.
He wants KISS and Tom Jones up there. -
I had flan for dessert tonight. One of the honorees at that meeting I went to a couple nights ago was the local manager of a Spanish (from Spain) company with a division named Reina Desserts. Their business is new to Houston, but apparently they’ve been in the US for a long time. At the end of the meeting, we found that the company had brought bags for everyone in attendance to take home samples of their rice pudding and flan.
Hubs ate and liked one of the rice pudding cups, but he’s never heard of flan and is unwilling to try it. Fine by me, since I will eat the 2nd flan, too. It is delicious. Now I’ll need to find if Kroger stocks it.

Flannel bed clothes are just too dang HOT! We sleep with the temperature lower than during the day, so we need a quilt, even if it’s a light one in the summer. Tonight, we’ll need an extra one.
Oh, and remind me to tell you about the chili N cornbread,…Good eating! -

Lol, thanks.
But actually I’m quite preserved after about 3 glasses of vintage Cab.:)

Oh so painful poetryman,
This one’s for you. -
Flan and Flannel in the same thread.
Coincidence?
I think not.

Someone gifted us some flannel sheets one time.
Even though at the time we were living in the somewhat perforated house that Fay grew up in, we could only use the bottom fitted sheet.
Only in Jan and Feb.
And only in a really cold year.

I just finished reading the transcript of James Comey’s testimony given to some committee yesterday. About what you would expect. Memory failure, buzz words, no clear answers. What a weasel he turned out to be. Along with a lot of other ones of course. And he complains about Trump trying to politicize and corrupt the DOJ and the FBI. Some people are just not self aware at all. Night all.

#77 #78 Shannon, that is pretty neat, power to weight, 300 HP, 500 Kg, (1100 Lb)! FWIW; The early Porsches’ didn’t have a lot of HP, but they didn’t weigh anything and the rear engine gave it mid-engine like handling.

Aw, God Bless ya Shannon. It has been an adventure, after first night the water heater and heater quit and we couldn’t get them fired up. After a couple cold shower mornings I replaced the regulator/valve at the propane tanks, now we have hot water and oven but heater just keeps cycling and won’t start up. One space heater just does not warm it up and a second one trips a breaker. Owner looked at them and did calculations, said two should be no problem so I don’t know. He is going to look at heater today, meanwhile I’m going to figure out how to run a heavy extension cord in here from the garage.
Any feint desires of hitting the open road in an RV someday are being permanently satisfied, my darlin is wondering what the heck we signed up for.

…meanwhile I’m going to figure out how to run a heavy extension cord in here from the garage.
Ooooo-kay. I’m going to walk away now and just leave you with a visual of the aftermath of a space heater/extension cord combo …
-
The old home is gone, oh my what a mess it left behind after being here thirty years. Got it pretty well cleaned up. There was no saving the water hook up, which we are tied into at the RV, so yesterday I dug up the water line about 50’ more towards the meter and installed a spigot, it should be out of the way of the coming construction. We’ve been hooked up to a kind neighbor’s water for a couple days. Next up is setting up sewage, I have the pump and hoses to run out to the septic system, just haven’t had the time to figure out adapters and such. This has been a manual operation to this point. 😯

I have a really heavy 25’ cord, heater draws about 3 amps so I figured it would be safe. Maybe not. I’ll ask the RV owner, he’s an electrician.

When Mr. Harrison, who was working for a small design firm at the time, was put in charge of the View-Master’s redesign in 1958, he made it lighter, more durable and much easier to use — easy enough for a child. That simplicity was a hallmark of his work; he was dyslexic, and he wanted to make all his products intuitive so that no one would have to read the instructions.
The product of which Mr. Harrison was most proud was the first plastic trash bin. Until the early 1960s, trash cans were round and made of galvanized steel, making them heavy and awkward to lug.
But advances in plastics prompted him and a fellow Sears employee to wonder if a mold could be made that was big enough to create a polypropylene trash can. “There was nothing produced that large up to that point using that process,” Mr. Trimmingham said.

A friend with dreams of doing the same actually bought the fifth wheel and a one ton to do exactly that. But first, he promised his wife he would build them a barndominium. He broke ground eighteen months ago and is finishing it out himself.
After living in the fifth wheel, on site, for what will end up being two years, he told me the other day that he’ll be selling the RV and the truck the day he moves into the house.

GJT, I assume that you have a septic tank and if so can you keep it? I hope that you don’t have to get one those mini sewage processing plant thingy’s that have to be inspected and only half azz work.

Have you ever tried to throw away a large plastic garbage can? You have to cut it up and put it in another plastic garbage can.

heater draws about 3 amps
That seams really low for a space heater.

Yes we have an aerobic system, I don’t mind them so much anymore but a pain having to pay someone to inspect regularly and pump out every three years or so. My guy is pretty good though, he will walk me through repairs so I can do some things myself. He also helped me out looking at different options and where to tie in with this temporary situation, most guys would have flat out told me no you can’t do that.
-
#95
That’s what he told me. Maybe these aren’t actually space heaters, there is no open element. 1,500 watt.

Re: Aerobic Septic Systems – this water logged soil we have here is not conducive to the traditional field lines, I know they can be done right but I’ve seen some nasty situations.
-
1500 watts, 120 volts = 12.5 amps.
-
100 – beat me to it
-
Well, I didn’t mean to steal a hunnerd. I like septic tank/fields since they’re a passive device. In this part of the country, they’ll work fine as long as the field lines are big/long enough, I.E. they have to be installed by someone that knows what they’re doing. That said; I’m pretty sure that any new construction in the 7 county area around Houston has to have the Aerobic systems. Also, if you’re happy with it, great. Everyone I know that has one hates it.

Good Sunday morning Hamsters. It was gloomy overcast and 42 at 6, and the faint early breeze has revived now so the Christmas cane banners on the front porch are swaying back and forth. Still gray and gloomy but the clouds are a bit lighter, and we’ve managed to make 43 now.
Definitely seasonal for here, and we are most thankful not to be in the Panhandle and environs contending with multiple inches of snow. And some areas having had freezing rain before the snow came. Bad situation, and it’s all moving east and north. Winter has arrived.
-
20 amp breaker, #12 wire, by the book good for 16 amp max load. 15 amp breaker, #14 wire, good for 12 amp load. 12.5 amps, I would have no problem running that on a #14 extension cord since that would count as conductors in free air and not in conduit.
-
A lovely package on the front porch arrived late yesterday, and I discovered it early this morning on the way back from fetching the Chron. Package is full of homemade Christmas cookies sent by spouse’s brother and wife just before they left for Paris, France.
Hope they safely return home in the next few days to enjoy the fudge pecan pie we sent them from Cryer Creek Kitchens in Corsicana that should arrive in the next day or two. Looking forward to ours arriving soon here.
The MSM is omitting the worst news of the protests in France according to folks actually in France now and seeing it all. Not telling lies about it, just leaving out the most damning stuff. And that for a supposed news organization, print or electronic, is the same as telling lies. Essentially a distinction without a difference.
The French people are fed up with the greenies in government invading practically every area of their lives with taxes and rules. Not just the gasoline tax rise. That seemed to be the last straw. Vive la France.

I’ve learned more about RV electrics than I wanted to. I’ve replaced the furnace igniter board twice, the fan, and the water heater igniter board. The AC compressor has a problem some times but I learned a cheap fix. The Omron relay on the board burns out or welds itself shut. Costs about $12 on Amazon, de-and-re solder the relay to the board.

A crisp Good Morning to Hamsterville™ ! Finished the sudoku; still working on the big Sunday coffee. I had thought I’d go to Kroger today to replenish some staples but it’s colder than I like. The only thing I’m completely out of is bananas, and I can survive on applesauce for a few days.

Morning gang. I slept in this morning, but when I finally did get up, it was still cold. Still overcast but no precip so far. Everything is still wet though. I’m just on my second cup of coffee, so it’s a bit early for me to have the plans for the day all drawn out, but something is going to get cooked. I finished my chili yesterday, so it will most likely be either baked chicken or home made beef and vegetable soup.
#112 has got me stumped completely this morning, but I was never good at riddles and visuals. Maybe somebody will tell me what it means before the day is out.
OK, you all have a good one. -
At 10am in Seguin, Katfish reported sunshine, blue sky.

Thanks Shannon, I have quite a bit of 6 ga leftover from when I ran power over to this thing if it comes to that.

Thanks GTO. This is 12/3 cord, 25’ on a 20 amp circuit. Solely devoted to one heater and we won’t run it unattended or at night. I think I’ll be fine, I will monitor the cord warmth.

SDI think Aerobic Systems are required all over Texas now for residential anyhow. We had to show proof of a service agreement for permits to do concrete runners/pad work. I never lived on anywhere with traditional septic system, when we built our old house in ‘99, Aerobic was newly required so really it is all I know. I do think its a government overreach and the inspection contract part of it is ridiculous.

Have you ever tried to throw away a large plastic garbage can? You have to cut it up and put it in another plastic garbage can. Why yes, yes I have,….. 😀

There was no saving the water hook up, which we are tied into at the RV, so yesterday I dug up the water line about 50’ more towards the meter and installed a spigot, it should be out of the way of the coming construction.
Do yourself a favor and prevent some nimrod from running over it; put a big old tire around the spigot so that it will be very easy to see and avoid. Maybe even add some streamers, because some people just don’t see/observe as well as they should.

Pssssst.
Don’t tell anyone.

I’ve been continuing to follow up on the ill fated flight from Dallas to San Angelo that diverted to Abilene last Thursday. It’s Envoy flight #3681.
Here’s the audio:
http://archive-server.liveatc.net/ksjt/KSJT2-Dec-06-2018-2330Z.mp3Seems the glide slope for Rwy3 is out but the localizer is working – localizer lines you up with the rwy while glideslope keeps up with your altitude as you approach the rwy. The combination ILS approach is called a “precision approach” and the pilot can normally get about 200′ above the ground before going around if he can’t see it by then. Without the glideslope in service, it becomes a “non-presicion” approach and the minimum altitudes are several hundred feet higher. If you can’t see the rwy lights at a certain minimum altitude, you can’t land. So, with the glideslope out and the pilot unable to see the runway at minimum altitude, he chose to divert rather than take another shot at it.
I hope that you can decipher the audio. I’m posting this, then I’ll see if I can come back and be more specific.
OK, the first contact on this segment is to advise the pilot of a checkpoint coming up. Scooting on over to abut the 12:00 minute mark they start setting up the approach to Rwy 3. At the 16:00 minute mark the controllers notes “on the go” and gives the pilot instruction to climb and hold while deciding what to do next. Pilot then declines another approach and they set up diversion to Abilene.So, the glideslope was inop on Rwy 3 and weather minimums prevented landing. That’s what it sounds like to me.
What’s amazing is that I can sit here at my computer in San Saba Texas and pull up all this information at will for any flight anywhere in the world. -
Counties issue rural wastewater permits. Austin and Washington Counties still allow old fashioned septic systems – if you have the appropriate soil.

Exactly what I thought and I was going to comment but didn’t get around to it.
The original post said something about the system on ground causing the plane to shoot upward but no, the pilot would pull up quickly if he was aborting a landing. -

Ok, I have a trivia question for all you Gun-Nuts out there; In the AR 15, AR 10 platform, how many different calibers are offered today?….Hint, if you’re honest, you’ll guess low.

Now, that’s a word I’ve not heard since 4H, oh and it’s “Burdizzo” …
I spelled it the way it is pronounced by an angry 76 year old Austin County resident of German descent.
With a few beers and glasses of white wine in her.

#136 Shannon, yup and I said this; Of course, in Alabama it was Burdizzer. 😉

That’s how I was feeling on Friday night as I checked the water level at a nearby bridge over White Oak Bayou — from the comfort of my breakfast room. It was going up at a 60 degree angle until my eventual bedtime. Saw the next morning that the steep angle persisted till Friday midnight — topping out with a gain of 14′ of elevation that day — but had then started coming back down at a 45 degree angle that began leveling off Saturday midnight. Currently it is still 2′ above its usual level.

I was hoping one of you guys would be smart enough and willing to dig around and shine some light on the situation.
I never dreamed you could get as far as you did.
So interesting.
Thanks!

See, Hammie gets home from work, sets the time-lock on the steel door to his house (which is one giant Safe Room). Never watches the local weather. Sits naked in the TV room, binge watching Green Acres and Dora the Explorer, drinking some nasty craft beer.

Still gloomy, windy, and 45 out here on the moors of the Brazos. Kinda nasty since this is really the first day we’ve had like this in a long time. Only saving grace is no rain with it so one can be outside doing stuff without being chilled to the bone extra fast as when wet.
Putting our Christmas tree together this afternoon and getting the lights on is the activity after the early football games. Packers won 34-20 over the Falcons, Texans’ win streak stopped at 9 with a loss to the Colts. Packers looked and played like their old selves under the direction of their interim head coach who was already on the coaching staff and moved up a notch. Yea.

Clever, very clever. -
In the Mueller investigation matter now including a Democrat or two off the stated subject of his appointment as Special Counsel, would it not be a clever and diabolical scheme to actually have planned to go after Democrats and not Republicans for interference in the election process? Just a thought while everyone is snoozing and believing Republicans are the targets….
Bait and switch extraordinaire.

I’m still all in for the Reps to nominate AOC for Speaker and see if they can’t pick off a few Dems to get her elected. Talk about a fun congressional session. Even SJL could come out of that looking like a wise sage. Go for it – all in for AOC.

Well, y’all don’t all chime in there at once agreeing with me or anything.

#140 – Let that be a lesson. There ain’t no secrets out there that Phil and his army of volunteer spy ducks can’t find. None. If it’s on the internet, everybody can find it. If you find it and it’s not on the internet, it soon will be. Information seeks release just like water seeks its own level.

As much as I hate to give credit to El Gordo for anything brilliant, I think the campaign to elect Alexandria Occasional-Cortex as Speaker is stupendous.
I also believe we should work very hard to support Sheila Jackson-Lee as Majority Leader and Maxine Waters as Majority Whip.
That would be a Trifecta for the Ages.

Well son-in-law got a nice Hill Country Buck this afternoon, makes my Lil spike look sad. 😉

I have a Friend over yonder, couple from Houston, expats to N. Carolina for a number of years, getting ready to move back to Texas and build their retirement home in The Woodlands vicinity. They had an unusually rough day today, snowed in (12″), power out, everything shut down, mobility zero, snow plows not running. Just the day for her husband to start having an allergic reaction at noon today, causing his mouth and cheeks to start puffing up, and she was fearful that his airway might close up. They had Benadryl but it wasn’t helping. At 4 pm, neighbors who were aware of the situation came over and cleared the driveway, and volunteered to drive their 4-wheel-drive vehicle to take them to the ER. That worked and it was quickly diagnosed as a reaction to an ACE inhibitor type of BP med.
“Apparently it’s a common reaction to all ACE Inhibitors that end with -pril, even after taking it for years. Will take several days for the swelling to go down.”
Catastrophe averted, but what a stressful day for them. What good neighbors, eh!! -

It’s out there man and I’ll find it in between binge watching Green Acres and MST3K.
I once saw the “little’un” and it looked just like the “big’un.”
Bad things, man.

I’m back from my visit with the girls. So many special moments. I don’t even want to talk about them right now, just want to hold them in my heart and revisit them over and over.
Love them so much.

Wow, what a scare for your friend. And a good reminder that Benadryl doesn’t always knock out an allergic reaction to everything.
