Cecil, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around your previous post about YeeHaw, cold, snow, and ice coming. I've been thinking about that for a couple of weeks.

To us, snow tires and chains, specially built shovels, snow plows, etc just doesn't compute. Of course, it gets hotter than the deepest depths of hell here during the summers so I guess it all evens out.

We rarely get winter snow but generally get a couple of ice storms that paralyzes everything. But, it's temporary.

My heating bills aren't all that high and my fireplace is mostly ornamental. But, my summer A/C bills certainly equal Northern heating bills.

I think it was Ken who had prepared for winter with 20 cords of wood.
I get by with a cord of wood for both places.

And then, there is rain vs lack of rain. Boy, do I envy you guys on that one.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
