Cold & Ice In Texas, Nuke Sub Base De-activated, Grid Going Down Warnings...

I used to live in Houston but now MG and I have our own little 6 acres deep in the woods here in east Texas. Ten Oaks is the name of our place.

A friend that was only at my place in 72, along with another member of our Little League Team, named our home as " Fish Bowl's Hole "

Neither Brian or Mike are friends on Fakebook

How'd the Trike work on the icy roads?

Solid Ice on the roads. The latest round of rain seems to be thawing it enough to melt some and glaze it over for in the morning. No school going on 3 days and us poor old crossing guards dont get paid unless we get out there and work. It just aint fair. The roads are too bad to go to the geriatric pool hall. Missed two buck Tuesday yesterday.

Well, yesterday evening it was 0, yes zero degrees outside with wind chill @ -40 degrees.

Right now it is 1 degree out, not going anywhere either in that cold, no need to.

The power went out around eight last night, dragged my ass out to fire up the genset,

after it went out a second time, waited about 10 minutes before going out.

A pipe froze in that time, put a heat gun to the area and freed it up.

The pipe runs in the back of a cabinet right next to an outside wall.

Have had the problem before a couple of times in the past.

Good to see you SOCOM42!

Yesterday the sun finally came out. Been raining for the past few weeks.

Walked out to the barn to feed the cats since Mrs Slippy is in GA visiting Grandaughter1. Cats were ambivalent at best. The chicken yard was a sloppy mess so I peeked in and saw they had plenty of food and water so I went back to the house.

It was 36 degrees this am.

My goal today is to shoot 50 rounds. Trying to decide if it will be rifles, pistols or revolvers...Decisions, Decisions...

-45 wind chill here with the sun shining
