Please don't slit your wrists... I've got overdose in the SpursTalk exstatic suicide pool
Nah, I'll just drink some more coffee. It'll keep my hands occupied so I don't accidentally slit my wrists.![]()

Damnit, the cold hasn't pushed far enough south. We're getting two inches of rain an hour right now in Dallas. We'd have a rocking snowstorm if the cold weather would just hurry up and get here.
Hah! No vBookie for you!!![]()
You'd be having an ice storm, not a snow storm. When you see what that much water will do in an ince storm, you're not going to be happy.
Do you have a fire place? Stock up on wood. You're going to be pissed when the power's out and you're cold as .

I'd be happy if I don't have to go to work on Monday![]()
Yep. The warm air is overriding a very thin layer of cold air and so it will be ice once the surface temps gets down enough. Interestingly every time it rains it gets warmer - the heavy rain has actually kept the ice storm at bay so far.
Took care of the wood last night. Got the fireplace going now. Fortunately for us the power lines in our neighborhood are underground but of course the big transmission lines are very much up in the air.

Talk to my parents a few minutes ago and they said its 46 degrees in Boerne right now. Kinda weird we are still at 70.
Thats a cold front for you.
Things are moving a little faster than expected, aren't they?
all stocked up on firewood and liquor!!![]()
Stocked up on o's and olive juice (Dirty Martini) and I'm making beer cheese soup tonight from a recipe that I got from a bar I used to go to when I lived in Minnesota.
eewww
We mock that which we don't understand.
It sounds interesting to me!! I googled it and found some good recipes..may have to brew up some, thanks!!![]()

I thought it sounded kinda good!
I had turkey breast steaks fried in a beer batter for lunch![]()
BTW just stepped outside.
In a matter of about 40 minutes, its gone form muggy mild to freezing cold.
Holy cow.
sounds good, as long as you don't have to use any bier kaese from Germany. that scent can fill a room, and not in a good way. tastes pretty good, but it reeks more than any cheese i have ever smelled.
i've had a nice tender venison backstrap marinating in a puree of onions, garlic, sage, rosemary and apple cider vinegar for the last 20 hours. gonna wrap it in pancetta before i grill it...![]()
I'm grilling up some HEB pre seasoned beef fajitas and adding some grilled onions and bell peppers! If I can survive the frigid 51 degrees here in SA!! Puro Tejano!!![]()
I'm fixing to fire up the Foreman grill for some Shiner burgers here at the Casa de Hoopsfan.
I'm fully stocked for the ice storm - 12 pack of Shiner, bottle of Grey Goose, bottle of Crown, cooler of ice.

And if you run out of ice, you can just put a bucket outside and fill it back up.
