Weather guessers are warning that our low tonight will be 32 here across the Brazos from Richmond. Fortunately our patio plants are still next to the back porch and not out on the patio.
Winter is fickle when Spring is about to take over.
Good night all. We’ll see what the morning brings.
Kinda early, but never too early to start think abut bedtime. I did not get a nap in today since I was outside most of the day messing with stuff. I’ll probably try to mow tomorrow once it warms up a little. I think last night was out last close to freeze of the season, but of course there are… Read more »
Wagonburner, I saw the seafood stock. I’ve not tried that but I’ll keep it in mind for the next batch. About the anchovy paste, I like it but it’s salty. I guess a squirt would be OK for a big pot of Gumbo though.
#79 Tedtam – everything up here in the woods has been a strange shade of lime green from oak pollen (or maybe it’s just the car, since blue and yellow make green…) for days…
Not too sure about the digital currencies being proposed to replace the worthless paper currency we currently use, but I will take gold or silver, bullion or coin, for any of my goods and services you might like to acquire. Just saying.
I got two tubs refreshed with more compostable material, and seeded. I pulled some dirt from some smaller buckets from last year and my compost pile. I was dumping one bucket of dirt and almost screamed when a huge earthworm almost landed in my lap. I thought the dang thing was a small snake at first. So, two big tubs… Read more »
So I spent most of last night enduring a series of weird, strange prescription medicine-induced nightmares.
And now I’ll have a night of comment-induced nightmares. I honestly didn’t realize the Trilateral Commission was a serious thing anymore. I think we all hoped it had faded into obscurity like Jimmy Carter.
Yep. Had a bunch of crawfish & shrimps from H‑E‑B last night. Leftovers are in the baggie. Got extra shrimps and andouille to round it out. The seafood stock and clam juice give it an extra little bit of seafood flavor. Might try a big squirt of anchovy paste next time. * Not shown is the trinity sweating out in… Read more »
The Chron (Business section) has quite an article today explaining crypto-currencies and transactions using them, notably bitcoin but also other cryptos, promoting them as the coming thing, everywhere.

Ouch, squared. That can be miserable, especially when you forget it is there and accidentally hit it on something hard or not so hard. Nail polish to the rescue for lots of things needing gluing back together when you don’t have any glue handy.
Trilateral Commission calls 2023 ‘Year One’ of new world order and The BIS Wants “Absolute Control” Of Your Money Via Central Bank Digital Currencies The General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), Agustin Carstens, sent a chilling message regarding the future direction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). “We don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today and… Read more »

Back from the grocery run, spent over $100 on backyard critter chow, for both daytime (squirrels and birds) and nighttime (raccoons and possums) clients. Yesterday while hand-trimming dead twigs on ligustrum bushes, I got a finger nail caught on something and then it had a snag that was very close to “the quick”. I use plain nail polish to try… Read more »
Temp is up in the mid 50s now, and I think I’m about done for the day. I’ve still got to go back out and put everything back in the tool shed, but I’ve just about completed my gardening chores and every square inch if about full. I’ve got a few stragglers left over from the greenhouse that are not… Read more »
Texpat A teenager is suing a health care company and the doctors who put her on controversial puberty-blocking drugs at age 12 and removed her healthy breasts in a double-mastectomy surgery when she was just 13 years old, accusing them of “intentional fraud and concealment.” Layla Jane, an 18-year-old detransitioner represented by attorney Harmeet Dhillon, claims in a letter of intent to… Read more »
Temp is in the mid 50’s headed to the low 60’s, but no wind, no clouds, and absolute beautiful to be out messing around in the yard. I’ve switched to shorts and tshirt and gotten a few chores finished up. Plan to finish up the planting except for perhaps few stragglers. Everything is looking pretty good except the tomatoes. They… Read more »
Well, nowadays one can graduate from Harvard with an undergraduate degree without ever taking a single history course. If those in charge of educating the supposedly “brightest” have no respect or interest in history, then the most important feature of past knowledge is lost. All the red flags of former ages are unseen and unheard.

Morning, gang. I got up late; the cats insisted, poor babies. But as soon as they’ve eaten, they all conk out for their after-breakfast naps. The HouChron had a very easy sudoku this morning that only took 35 minutes to work. As soon as I finish my breakfast, I think I’ll do a quick run to Kroger.

Morning gang. Reports say it got down to 32 degrees early this morning, but a quick check around indicates no discernible plant damage. Hopefully that is our last close call for this freeze season, but it is always subject to some rogue storm showing up with golbal warming, cooling, climate change, or whatever. Since it’s still early, I’m going… Read more »
Good Morning Hamsters, We were stuck at 45 degrees since 6 this morning, all wrapped up in a snow sky and a faint breeze. This is not conducive to do much inside the house and to avoid going outside unless absolutely necessary. The exception here is doing laundry that requires attention for brief periods only. Finally made it to 48.… Read more »

42 degrees here this morning DANG cold and I’m kinda’ tired of it. My wife had the first good night’s sleep in a week and is, of course still sleeping. I’m having my first cup of coffee and thinking I may fix sausage N eggs a little later.
Well, bedtime is about here again already. Cold outside, but not much wind. Started work on one of my Absolutely Nasty Sudoko Level 4. Got all the easy ones filled in, but no breakthrough yet on the tougher ones. My heart is just not in it right now. After being encouraged by finding my first batch of worms are still… Read more »

I finally got around to reading the C&C for today.

Well, I finally went outside about 7 pm. I did some more trimming on my freeze-damaged ligustrum bushes. Some of them are looking Ok, but several are not. I guess I’ll coddle even those for a year or two, and hope they eventually look like a planned set again.

Good night all. We’ll see what the morning brings.
You could always use anchovy filets? Remember there’s a couple bottles of clam juice in there too.
Sardines might work as well. They’d probably fall apart while you’re cooking it all.

Really?! The pine pollen is just about over here, it started in February and peaked the first week in March.
The pine trees will soon be assaulting us with their pollen.
