I have a early year resolution! Heal up from my own stupidity. February 2, I hurt my back with an accumulation of overwork of heavy stuff, wound up in ER in great pain. Flat on my back for a week, gradually got better, then realized I had another problem, inguinal hernia, in the groin. Surgery...

Fence the front and open at night to the LGDs?

That is a real creepy feeling. I hope "they" don't come back. That violates your feeling of safety. Yes, fence the front and get a big dog for the front. That would close in your vehicles and keep thieves out of them. In Lindale, our doublewide sat way back from the road, we put up a gate and...

He is up and walking, that is much better. You could always threaten him with a cattle prod! :lol:

I got new tires on my Hyundai roller skate. The tire light came on, stayed on. Took it to the dealership, they upped the tire pressure a few pounds and the light went off. Those new tires dropped my MPG from 40 to 36-38. But I have better tires with deeper tread, good for rain. Basically with...

Neither one of us is moving, we are dug in, or we could help each other!

Haven't been here is awhile. Had to log in. Been running at top speed as usual until I didn't. 3 weeks ago I ripped my back, wound up in ER writhing in agony, even crying from the pain. They prescribed hydrocodone which made me throw up. That was on a Monday. Went to PA, sent me to xray, didn't...

There was ice on the water buckets this morning.

I just caught up on a bunch of pages of memes. Now all those who posted will get a thousand annoying alerts.

I'm already starting to figure out how many chicks I need to order for spring.

No kidding! That's a lot of work! I got all the legs and backstrap done yesterday. I cut the lower parts of the legs for lamb shanks for soup and stew. My neighbor brought his pruning loppers over for cutting through the bones, it was fantastic! So much better than hacking with a hatchet or a...

Now that is a beautiful picture!

With help of neighbors, I processed 3 lambs yesterday. Quartered and on ice, I'll be cutting and vacuum sealing today after church. and tomorrow after taking my sister in law to Physical Therapy. Ive never processed my lambs, just couldn't do it. Neighbor shot them, then we hung them off the...

This is great! You are learning the pressure canner! Pictures! Pictures please!

I'm not even looking back on my resolutions. I have a list of stuff I want done this winter, but have not touched them yet. I've been running my ex sister in law to doctors, now to Physical Therapy and not much doing anything for me. Almost done, then I'll hit it here, might even get something...

Houston weather news this morning going on and on about a FROST next week! HORRORS!! Quick! Everybody rush to the store for bread and milk! :lol:

Haven't been here is quite awhile. Just been doing BYH and that's all. I veered off somewhere into LaLa Land. Past 3 months Ive been on a dead run for my ex sister in law. She lost a leg above the knee, to diabetes complications 3 months ago. Her son, DIL and babies have been in south Florida...

It’s hot, hot and more hot. Stand in the shade, do nothing and be dripping wet in a very few minutes. Miserable.

I wonder too why people want to build homes on such places. Beachfront, cliffside, riverfront, all are doomed to someday fall to the whims of nature. God designed and put into place the forces of nature. He doesn’t create every storm. Nature and weather patterns create storms. It is up to us to...

There was truly that much rainfall, all at once. Over 20” in some places, in a very short time. The ground in central Texas is very rocky, lime stone, and flash floods are common. The area has been in drought for 4-5 YEARS. Lakes and reservoirs were almost dried up. Central Texas needed rain...
