HIPPO BIRDIE TWO TEEBEE---

A DEPRESSING MORNING IN THE NATIONS: HEAVY OVERCAST, DUSTING OF SNOW, 20 ON THE FRONT PORCH, PREDICTED HIGH OF 32. NOT NICE AT ALL.

I'LL GO OVER TO MUSKOGEE, FIRM UP ARRANGEMENTS TO RESURRECT THE TOMATO AND RESTOCK BIRDSEED.

TOOK DW TO THE BARN TO TAKE COLLAR OFF CAT WHILE I HELD IT.
CAT DID HER "I LOVE YOU" ACT. NOW DW IS TALKING HOUSECAT :-O
(I DON'T LIKE COLLARS ON CATS AND THIS ONE WAS LOOKING TIGHT.)

THE WEATHER WIZARDS RE PREDICTING A BELOW FREEZING WEEK.
OH JOY---

Blizzard #2 is still raging.... it is worse than the first one.... went out to work on some of the bigger drifts with my Toro snow blower and it no blow no Mo....... something broke in the blade tranny so the secondary blade stopped working.... My wife said it is time to get serious on snow and mow equipment.... she's talking John Deere serious.... like 15 to 20 large serious.... yikes... she says if we are going to live here as we get older we gotta have machines that can make that happen.....

I'm thinking a 65 Corvette would be just what we need....

county roads closed as is the interstate I'm sure....

I'm thinking it would be a good day for some oyster stew....

thing positive thoughts Guru's

Morning guys... Really cold start here this morning, 5 when we got up. They are saying we might get up to low 30s...I'll believe it when I see it. Not a great birthday, weather-wise.

Enjoy the day however you may.

I'll be sharing the same birthyear birthday with you in July. Brad would have been joining us too, Sadly, he only joins us in spirit.

I got a ton of stuff going and only a small shovel to move it. My energy level is down and I'm adjusting to new meds. In any case I'm sure something will get done.

Happy Birthday Tee! gloomy here too but the sun did come out for a bit. It rained cats and dogs last night and wind blew like all get out I guess. I woke up to find one of the patio umbrellas had blown over and knocked over a 5' iron plant stand up against the bedroom patio door. Not sure how I slept through that but do have a good idea. A friend gave me some THC/CBD gummies for sleep yesterday and I ate a whole one. Slept till 10. It was marvelous. I probably should have taken just a half but I was also not going to take my Lunesta so was afraid not to take a whole one. I had dreams and everything so must've been good sleep. Tomorrow is supposed to be 40s and sunny so I'll try to get done what I can and hunker down that evening. Got chili and chicken and dumplins planned. We get snow Sunday and Monday, but they did say no ice and it will be a dry snow. At least it's a little good news

A friend of mine likes to take a 1/2 gummy early and a half gummy late. He sleeps like a baby.

Ill try a half tonight. A friend ordered these from venacbd.com called "lights out". I'm also looking at some from hellomood.com that has both day and night ones. There's nights I will take my lunesta plus a tylenol 3 and last night that one gummy let me sleep through the night and I even slept through hail here and crap getting blowed around outside

I received a most awesome birthday present this afternoon. I got a phone call from our high school AD asking me if I was available to come to the finals of the High Plains league basketball tournament next Saturday the 20th. He said that the league was going to honor me with their lifetime achievement award for my 44 years of service.

I told the HS AD, at the beginning of the school year, that I would be retiring from running the clocks for football and basketball at the end of this year, it was time for someone else to take over. I never anticipated this honor from the league. I am overwhelmed with emotion right now, and not sure I am worthy of the honor.

I figured the school would take a moment to say something at one of our home games, but, I never anticipated this League honor. My co-worker and I always laughed and joked about how we were the "All League" scorebook/score clock crew...this brings those jokes to reality.
