Hi Jimi. Looks like you got here just after Dale bailed.
Yeah i am running late tonight, been trying to make this house warmer, we have 11 foot ceilings here which is nice in the summer but sucks in winter it's a comfy 65 in here right now.
Well, Sandi didn't say bye-bye yet and Lucy is lurking in the background, so maybe you won't be left all alone... in other words, I'm going to bed now. Yak at y'all tomorrow.
In time you kinda adjust to those temps and it' does suck but so does 95Lannie mentioned this morning that it was ZERO degrees instead of the +6 ºF in the official NWS forecast. Well, it was actually -0.4 ºF here, which rounds to zero, but I am counting it as our first negative temperature for the season. The high temperature for the day was only +21 ºF. Wind has gotten steadily worse all day and it currently about 30 mph (9:00 PM) and the temp is +13 ºF, which makes for a wind chill of ---- old index, calculations before 2001, -27.93 ºF, but the new index, given the government doesn't want people to "feel so uncomfortable" is only -8.21 ºF. Regardless of all that gobbledygook, the stupid ass chickens danced on the extension cord that their water heater is plugged into, thereby unplugging the damn thing, so when we did evening chores, I found their entire water tank to be one big block of ice. Given that the wind is from the south, which is our least insulated house wall, it is only +66 ºF in the living room, so I guess we are now competing with @Jimi to see who will be coldest INSIDE the house this winter. Oh, wait, it is not even officially winter for about five more weeks. Damn. Wish I had some firewood. And some insulation. And a house in Tucson. And.... Oh well... get on with it.
G'Night Rich I'm not far behind my friend hope tomorrow treats you well
I posted a good video in your Vaccine thread.
Hi Jimi....hope you had a great day....the forum was down for awhile....was watching a video you sent last week
I didn't even notice it being down, been here off and on half the day, guess I'm lucky
Good day...worked till about 2:00 this afternoon....SLEEPING in tomorrow
AHA! So there is someone here after all!
Hi Jimi. Hi Dale.
Hi Jimi. Hi Dale.
Couldn't ask for more
Hi Rich how was your day
Hi Rich....the forum was offline earlier, was watching some videos Jimi sent me.
Spent a couple hours stuffing herbs into capsules, then tried to fix the chickens' extension cord so they can't turn their water heater off again. Got up to 37 degrees for about three minutes today (mostly 33-35). Forecast for 10% chance of snow flurries... normally if the forecast for anything here isn't 30% or more, it simply ain't gonna happen, but snow did happen. Not "snow flurries," but snow pellets... about a zillion of the tiniest [almost microscopic] little white ball bearings. Never seen them so small before.
Weird weather.....really strange.
It sure is, makes me start thinking about ice fishing, wont be long at this rate
Where do you fish at.....small nearby lake?
Wish I could have that. But, wanting the impossible, I want it all year.
We have a couple old gravel pits close to us.
Sounds like a blast my friend
What kind of fish do you catch?
My GF's brother said the marlin are biting like hell, which isn't anything new, but I don't like catching those beautiful fish, nor do I really like the taste of the meat. Small tuna is the way to go.
Mostly crappie and walleye blue gill, which is my favorite. Pretty big bass in there too
Oh wow....love Walleye....and perch....but those damn Bluegill are really tasty too.
My favorite fish to eat is Halibut, and ya just can't catch the damn things in a South Dakota creek.
Oh I really like Halibut too....haven't had any in a long time, been on a meat hiatusMy favorite fish to eat is Halibut, and ya just can't catch the damn things in a South Dakota creek.
Not that I know of. Maybe trout and bass in the reservoirs (70 miles from here). I haven't been fishing in about 25 years because I can't catch what I like to eat and I don't want to eat what I can catch. If it was a survival situation, maybe I would, but it ain't.
I never caught a fish without beer on my breath........
I don't think I want to ever be meatless, but we have changed our meat habits. I used to be into steak and bake potatoes, but mostly what we eat is some form of chicken (a matter of budget?). I was watching a hamburger commercial on the boob tube the other day and, while I used to exist on those things 20-30 years back, I can't even imagine putting it in my mouth today.
Who is BCF?
We inspect quite a few fast food joints, one in particular had hamburger from China in their freezer.....unreal
Bull City Flavors....they changed the name
Given there are more cows than people in this state, I can't imagine the fast food places importing cheap and unhealthy shit from China, but I know they do. Maybe that is also a reason for my great turn off on burgers. I know how the local beef is raised, so I wouldn't have much problem with it, but I don't want Chinese shit no matter how hungry I might be.
