Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. With rumors of ice and snow flying about like moths to a street light, I’m making sure that TackyToo is as prepared as we can be for inclimate weather. Fortunately, I’m making sure my duties keep me inside. I bet I’ve filled the vending machines about four times today, while managing to …
Good morning, y’all. Cold, cold cold, but no frozen precipitation, so I’m all good. I’m working indoors anyway, so I shouldn’t whine about the weather, but I do. It’s what I do. That freezing wind slapping me in the face as I cross over the driveway between Number Two at TackyToo to the Rec room …
Good morning, y’all. A few snow flurries to report, but nothing stuck to the ground. The roads are clear and we haven’t had to go to generator power, so all and all, a good day. The roads provided no problem for Mulva to get over to the Walmart to buy me a replacement bucket of …
Good morning, y’all. Well, between having people kick over paint cans that weren’t sitting on drop clothes, and tripping over drop clothes and claiming injury, the Republican Debate potluck was a wild and wooly affair. I’d say that the actual debate was anti-climatic to the chaos that was going on in the Rec room last …
Good morning, y’all. As the cold abates, the rain moves in. Still a good reason for inside activities. I’ve staked out a week long project with the painting of the Rec room. It’s funny how things don’t look so bad over time, and then you put a fresh coat of paint on a wall and …
Good morning, y’all. I’m trying to ignore the bitter cold that has penetrated our little mountain hideaway. I must report that I am not being very successful in that endeavor. They say it’s in the 30’s but the wind makes it feel like the teens. I think we’re just a gnat’s whisker away from getting …
Good morning, y’all. I’m happy to report that the rumors of my early demise were somewhat exaggerated. It’s true, the pine beetles had almost as big of an impact on me as they did on the big tree that fell, but I have persevered. I do share the feeling with the downed tree, that, like …
Good morning, y’all. Dawn broke again on this old body, so I figured I might as well get over myself and force the effort to rejoin the living. To say that I’m not in as good a shape as I once was, is an understatement of monumental proportions. Heck, I’m not even in as good …
Good morning, y’all. Well, I stand here ready to take my Zwilling Pure Stainless Steel Meat Fork and plunge it to its full depth into 2015, because that sucker is done, done, done! Holy cow, what a year! You’ll have to go back to my first post to recount the rhyme and the reason to …
Good morning, y’all. My morning crisis is a huge sixty foot pine tree that has tipped over due to the recent winds and rain. Although it is dead, the pine beetles have done their worst, it still has enough weight to it to crush a trailer like a tin can. A tree leaning against a …
