Re: [VFB] Rough WX in Central TX

Re: [VFB] Rough WX in Central TX
Longhorn tailhair makes great stone flies. Calico, my longhorn steer is nearing record status with his horm length. They're approaching 7 + feet from tip to tip, straight across, not around the curve. A steer with 8 feet horns sold for $20,000 up in Ft. Worth a couple years ago. I expect Calico to be at 8 feet by the end of this year. Will I put him in the long horns auction? Now way.

Hope it isn't too long our house doesn't hold the heat as well as yours does. Hope all you other Texans and folks are keeping warm and dry during this little hissy fit that Mother Nature is throwing.

Re: [VFB] Rough WX in Central TX
Jimmy I knew you had cattle but I did not realize you have longhorns. Do you raise them to show? Or for flytying material (makes this fit). There was a beautiful ranch in Double Oak, TX that had Longhorns when we lived in Flower Mound. Jimmy, If'n it's not already on-line, send him a picture of your baby! a. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

[VFB] cold is a relative thing
Lost the photos, but it's still funny, reading JimmyD's comments. I grilled some ribs last weekend out on the deck and the temp was -6°F. That's fine, as propane still has a pressure at that temp. At -42°F I'd have to bring the tank in to warm it up a bit before cooking. DonO Cold is a relative thing 65° Arizonans turn on the heat. People in Wyoming go out to plant and tend their gardens. 60° Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Wyoming sunbathe. 50° Italian & English cars won't start. People in Wyoming drive with the windows down.. 40° Georgians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Wyoming throw on a flannel shirt. 35° New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Wyoming have the last cookout before it gets cold. 20° People in Miami all die. People in Wyoming close the windows. zero degrees Californians fly away to Mexico People in Wyoming get out their winter coats. 10° below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Wyoming are selling cookies door to door. 20° below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. (Ya think? Nah.). People in Wyoming let the dogs sleep indoors. 30° below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. People in Wyoming get upset because they can't start the snowmobile. 40° below zero ALL atomic motion stops. People in Wyoming start saying..."Cold enough for ya?" 50° below zero Hell freezes over.

[VFB] Rough WX in Central TX
Rough WX in Texas. We're getting the kind of weather that we only get once in a blue moon. 18 degrees right now at 10:50 a.m., going down to 13 tonight. Power off for 2 1/2 hours last evening. Went off again early this morning, came back on around 10:15. My gas grill on the patio came in handy for heating water for coffee, and cereal. Went and refilled the spare propane tank. Believe it or not, we have a day or two in the 60's forecast next week. Texas weather, Rain, Shine, Sleet and Snow all in one day. Still hard to believe it was 77 degrees last Sunday and 75 on Monday. LOL Son Joe went and caught a couple of Whites. When we built this house, we put double insulation in the walls, garage walls, garage ceiling, and then in addition did triple blow - in insulation in the attic. With the power off for 6 hours this morning, the in house temp only dropped from 71 to 65 degrees, still pleasant. Fireplace is seeing lots of action. Cows are doing OK, still plenty grass, plus big round bale of hay. Water in the little float valve tank, plus the 2 acre stock tank has about 3 feet of water.Longhorns know what to do when ice forms, they just stamp / bust the ice around the edges of the tank, and "presto" - drinking water. G'day. JIMMY D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
