First, I'll back track to 8 days ago when Rita(I wish they wouldn't name snowstorms) left this overnight. Don't think the dog will be rompin here soon My son works 2nd shift at the school, so I plowed the dirt road before 11:00 that night. The Town truck still had full blade later the next morning. Today, after 2-3" of rain washed 3 feet of snow down hill, I was looking at this on Christmas day. The Ouleout looks kinda owly.
While I like the change of seasons, the ol bones sometimes tell me otherwise. Not a snowbird yet, but that could change. You never know, you could end up with a new neighbor!

I sold my snowmobiles a long time ago. I cross country ski some, but every year it seems that snow is more of a PITA than before. It snowed 4" yesterday. We are supposed to get 3-5 today. But spring, summer and fall are lovely. Marc
I have about 800 hours in the T-33. Good old airplane. Taught me to actually fly the airplane. No autopilot, no flight directors, manual trim. 360 knots true airspeed at altitude.

The last time I saw one in the air, it was the pace plane for the unlimiteds at the air races.
Spring is around the corner. Saw the first robins yesterday. That means it will snow in the next day or so. Happens every year. Then they all stand around in the snow and yell at each other about who said the early bird gets the worm. Meanwhile, the boys are ready, the hens are not.
all the immigrants from Far East Asian had spouses from the Far East and children looked like them. All the Middle Eastern immigrants had ME spouses and numerous children that looked like them. All the Central and South American immigrants had spouses like them with numerous children that looked like them.
Then I noticed numerous White women with no spouse and many with 1 child of mixed race.
No pics and I have a long 6 hr drive back home. A friend of mine in South Tx from called last night and told me SpaceX was probably going to try to launch SN11 today, so I left home not long afterwards for his place on the south end of Port Isabelle. Launch was scrubbed this afternoon so there was nothing to see. May be my very last chance to watch a rocket launch in person but it was a nice drive till I got closer to the coast and ran into fog. I did take some pics but found out the sd card in my camera is corrupted some kind of way.

Got up at buttcrack of dawn yesterday and again today. We've had a lot of rain and storms and am again watching the river rise & snake across my Easternmost pastures.
Power went off Tuesday night 8pm and was off until about 10pm last night. Yesterday morning: Went ahead and fired up the generator yesterday just before noon so the freezer and fridge stuff could get some cold air and all our electronics needed a charge, and I needed to pump up some water for toilet too. That genset is soooo LOUD! Keurig coffee this morning, since I didn't get the old school coffee pot washed before crashing late last night.
I went up the hill about a mile away to the nearest convenience store and this was parked outside. Mudder.
Couldn't get positioned to get both vehicles in the shot, but Texas Dept public Safety (Highway Patrol) car was sitting off to the side of the parking lot, and I suspect waiting for the 4 wheeler owner to come out of the store. They aren't allowed on the roads or right-a-ways here and that one wasn't licensed in any way. Hope the trooper just gave him a verbal warning tho. Out here in the country, things are a bit less 'tight'. (I could have driven one of my farm tractors up there and it would have been perfectly legal as long as I put the little orange plastic triangle placard on the back of it)

A light morning rain and a forecast high of under 100o made for a nice, cool morning ride and a very rare day indeed for June in the Valley of the Sun.
We just came off a new record last week of six consecutive days above 115o.
I just got 2" of rain in the last three hours. To many of you, that may not sound like much, but I have been scouring Youtube for videos on how to build an ark. I'm looking for my cubit stick now.
I'm not seeing honey bees. Is it Roundup causing it? Clover is everywhere. No bees. I AM seeing medicated women everywhere. In a pawn shop I heard 3 of them discussing a drug addled customer. One commented his type is the reason they're all on medication.
