Bummer, cloning my new hard drive and I already have a disc read write error according to the tool. ;0(

Damn, time to go to bed, got to get up early and go to the PO and get my new hard drive yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, poor dog is really pissed when I stay up this late ;0)

Getting a little cooler out and I hear it is raining in Houston, don't know if that rain will reach me or not cause it's 300 miles, it could be a spring day in a matter of 300 miles, especially with Gulf Coast weather.

Right on schedule today, got my Pork steak finished and gravy, just waiting on the rice to cook then it's din din for me and the dog. I was going to just have instant taters but I know the dog don't care much for instant potatoes, she does like real potatoes but for some reason don't like the instant, strange cause I think they're good. So it's rice instead and I can hang with that, she usually get's the bulk of the meat anyway. Nasty looking outside, warm but nasty looking. I woke up at...

I went in and turned in thinking the day was over but it's just too early for a creature of habit. Watched a little of Platoon then got tired of that, been there done that. Every now and then something happens to my cable TV reception and it just goes completely good, clear as a bell, I've watched it so long poor quality you get a jolt when it happens. Heard thunder off in the distance about an hour ago but no rain so it must have bypassed me. I have no heat on now it is so warm I'm not e...

I've been light headed all day, I get this from time to time and have no idea what may be causing it other than the small dose hypertension drug, maybe it has something to do with what I'm eating and I might be borderline diabetic, I know one time 7 years ago the VA called me at home after making an appointment and blood work was done, they just said to be careful what I eat because I was borderline but that all went away and I had many many many blood test since that time and every time most...

Got my chores done for the day, now I can goof off and watch out the window if the rain starts. People out in droves shopping this morning, I go into the dollar store to get a box of tea bags and there are two people checking out in front of me, one checker working as usual, so the first one took 25 minutes to check out 10 dollars worth of crap, don't know what the problem was but it was something to do with card denial or some other such reason, finally got my 1.43 cents worth of stuff and...

Well that Fort Polk December style weather returns today with rain showers and greater chance tonight and tomorrow. This morning I am having a La style breakfast, fried fish cakes and fried okra, don't get any better than that for a breakfast, except of course for this great cup of coffee to go with it. Going to make a fast trip to the PO later this afternoon and then stop at the mafia store for some bread, and some Tea bags, drinking a lot of hot tea lately, the weather is just perfect for...

Very pretty Christmas day here in Louisiana, at dusk yesterday you would have never believed it could be so nice today. I see off in the distance the neighbor in front of me her sister got a trampoline for their little ones, I could see the little tiny kids just jumping out there in the sun and having the time of their life, one even had a green hula hoop ;0) now this neighbor in front of me has had a trampoline since they moved there, I see the kids out there now and again but for the mos...

Merry Christmas to all my Vet Brothers, my friends, and my family that post here.

I am in and out of my kitchen this morning , got left over turkey warming that my cousin brought yesterday in the height of that rain storm, and I had a pot of veggies and chicken already cooking, gave the dog the chicken for her breakfast and the potatoes and carrots were still in the crock so I just threw that turkey into the pot to let it heat up, couldn't stand it I had to make a pot of rice to go with it because the damned stuff tasted so good... anyway while I was doing that I walked o...

It turned a little windy on the tail of that rain and cold front and temps dropped pretty good, not freezing or any where near it , just cooler. Sun is high and bright and pretty today, just like that day in 1965, you couldn't have copied it better than this one today. I was getting all spiffed up in my class A's about this time same day 1965, didn't have a bag only a shaving kit and what sticks in my mind was how people all just spread out and many went to their assigned bus which was mark...

The rain finally blew out a couple hours ago, sure touch and go all day, the air was so unstable, there were tornado warning all around us but we lucked out and had none of that and no hail either like other areas around us. I knew this morning when I woke up and had to open the bedroom window because it was so warm in the bedroom, I knew then something was up, and before the first cup of coffee settled it was raining cats and dogs, off and on all day, power going on and off all day, I went...

Had a couple thin slices of a little Fruit Cake the cousin dropped off to me today, sure is good, not dry very tangy and tasty, I remember these little cakes going for 50 cents in my younger day but now a thin one is 2.50 and I have saw some even higher. I know it cost more to make these little cakes but hard to find one that actually taste really good, this one passes the taste test and it is very enjoyable, only mistake I made was not making coffee to go with it, I'll do that the next help...

Houston Grand Jury just no billed another shooting of a black , he was unarmed but wearing a black hoodie and his Mother said he was profiled, gee do ya think ! I couldn't find in the article if he had a criminal record and what actually took place between him and the officer, but if this officer had shot this guy in cold blood he would not have been cleared. I think I would consider another clothing style other than black hoodies in high crime areas. Play the gangsta die the gangsta

Second storm of the morning moving thru now, the first was pretty bad but missed me by about two miles and went north. Power went off and on once or twice just enough to mess up the stuff I was working on but nothing lost. It just now tweaked once and I guess I should shut down because I hear thunder all around again, these storms are moving very fast.Got two nice shirts from my Sister , and I got a nice gift card from my sweet sister in law and I already put it to good use and ordered a h...

Something good happened recently and now I always make sure my dishes are washed and put away, took a long time for that to take effect, like 44 years to be exact. I think it's good to have something to do even if it's so simple, couldn't get interested in watching tonight s game, I am listening to it but not interested enough to go sit there and watch it. I heard a pretty good gust of wind about 30 minutes ago, the air is really unstable now with cold air to the north and this Gulf warm ai...

Got a good ball game going tonight, the Cardinals are already in the playoff so the outcome of this game isn't that important but I see a little shift in the game the last quarter of the first half.

Sure was a long day today, have no idea why, I had my cooking already done and tried to stay busy all day, listened to early games out the right ear and ate and drank and ate and drank again, the skies were at times nasty looking and then it would clear a bit and look better only to get nasty looking again. So quiet out there I can hear the neighbors goat busy cutting the grass over his place. I have lived here on this back street now over 6 years and it's time to move to where there is som...

Poor Baltimore, getting their clock cleaned by a third rate team. I had said Dallas wouldn't make the playoffs but I didn't realize they would be playing the worst team in the league to get there. ;0( it just makes the inevitable a little longer to wait ;0)

I hate hard decisions , tonight s late game is Seahawk s and Cardinals, I like both teams, in reality I can't lose but I just hate to see one or the other do down. Now if it were money on the line I would go with the Seahawk s because I do believe they are the stronger team. It will be a good game either way

Weather forecast in Baton Rouge says there will be a 60 per cent chance of rain on Tuesday. Now Christmas Day should be nice and seasonably warm here in the South. I'm beginning to think this prediction of a wet cold winter for us might have been a bit premature, but then we do have several months to go so it can still happen I suppose. I hate those freezing nights, it gets really cold in this old place and sure glad I have kerosene to help make it thru any really cold weather. One thing...

Talked with my Mother a few minutes and we were talking about the movie today Treasure of the Sierra Madre, she remembers it cause I was born same year ;0), she sounds good and high in spirits so it was a good way to end the day for me. It was a pleasant day today and I got a couple things done, listening to She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, my very favorite John Wayne movie, mainly because it is the first I remember watching on our black and white TV around 56 while laying on that cold floor proppi...

Treasure of The Sierra Madre is playing on TCM, same year I was born I remember seeing it as a very young toddler with my Grandmother downtown Houston, she would take me to the moves often and we rode the old smelly diesel bus that smoked like a choo choo train. Always had a lunch at a nearby popular buffet near the Theater, I can't remember the name of the Restaurant but I can remember how good the food was even as young as I was then. The fried chicken always stayed in my mind from that p...
