Morning All


Ma, there aint nore more kiddos for Blake and Tel. We met our quota of three and the factory has been turned into a playground.

Off to school today. I was asked by the principal to judge the social studies fair. This should be interesting.

 

Like I've always said.

Texas would be a great state if it weren't for the Texans.

 

G'day eh.

Got home to 7F. Snow on the ground.

 

YUK and BRRRR. Just came in from lanai and a cup of ph00. It is 72 out there and gorgeous. House open and letting in the cool air.

Since previous passers did not make coffee for us ...................I have put on coffee, ph00 and brewed and cooled down some iced tea for a change. I'm out of here - - I am not the janitor................

Meeting with the guardian at litem she inspected the house and seemed to like what she seen one of my kids spoke with her in private.

The new injectors in my truck have increased the miliafe

 

Freezing rain and snow forecast for here tonight. I'm outta here before it hits.

Thanks TallSean

 

G'Day folks.....Big pot of Caribbean Chili on the stove for the pot luck tonight...for those of you with gentle lined stomachs I suggest the Industrial size Tums..this stuff will peel paint if you spill it.... but it shore is good

 

Here is your afternoon smile (I hope this is't too political)

 

Sorry Scotty. Snow forecast for here today and again on Sunday, wanna trade?

 

That's a good one tall guy

 

Wow, another quiet day. Just got in from property association meeting. Always interesting - - some people are really jerks. Can't understand why some of us would like them to keep their place looking decent so the values in the subdivision stay up. How hard is that to understand?

Probably won't see me tomorry - - have 30 people coming over tomorrow for supper and game night. Lots to do to get ready for them. So, behave and tend the ph00 pot for me.

Bob
