We watched Ice Road Truckers too. I couldn't imagine that job, I held my breath just watching the show, let alone actually driving it!

The really heavy stuff is rolling through the southern half of Dallas county and below.

Nice, my family is in the Red Oak/Waxahachie area...

Ok, everybody wants to move to VA so, i thought that i would turn my 5 acres in to a campground and you all can just live out of your campers and not have a house payment. no one would have to work and we could sit around the campfire everynight and drink kungaloosh. No worries.

I'm in!!

I will be there in 13 hours!!

Save a site for me!

I used to have a lightning rod on my house (some people called it Ham radio antenna). We took a direct hit by lightning in a t-storm 9 years ago. Took out both my A/C units in the attic and a whole bunch of other electronics. It split the radio antenna into 3 pieces and blew a couple of radials off my TV antenna. I still have a black spot on the wall behind my entertainment center where it blew up a surge protector.

Ouch. They're getting hit pretty hard right now, heavy rain and high winds mostly. The worst cell is just north of Hillsboro.

North Alabama is a great area. High Tech defense jobs in Huntsville, low, low property taxes. Reasonable housing. My 1500 sf 3BR, 2BA all brick home with 2 car garage on a 1/3 acre lot is worth about $150,000 (we paid $80K for it about 12 years ago) and I pay about $700 a year in property taxes. Sales tax is 8%. New construction is running about $160K - $500K for average to high end homes. My commute to Research Park is 3.5 miles

Ok, we just finished AI and I'm happy with the results. I have never been a fan of the person who left!

You don't like tatoos? I liked to hear her talk more than sing. Like I said before David Cook better win.

Boy this has been another long day, dad is still in hospital, and I had to mow for the first time today, only 7 acres . The first time of many I am sure.....
We also are getting the new version of the board up and running, it is cool, but still needs a few tweaks, so I have to wait up for my little buddy to log on.... YAWN

 

[auntie]

Sorry to hear about your dad still in the hospital John..how's he doing?

Driving home from work today, I saw two gas stations with $4.01...premium. Regular was $3.73. Can't freakin' believe it!
