Military jets did a flyover after Christina's interesting version of the national anthem. Hum.... Maybe they showed the flyover on the recently upgraded video boards?
Giggle.
Over the weekend, the geek household enjoyed the opportunity to leave the house and get a few errands done. It's non-stop fun around here when the truck gets inspected and the storm drain gets cleared. Hubby and I were down on our hands and knees digging out mud, miscellaneous unidentifiable bones, and grass roots from this stubborn but effective storm drain. Finally, the water starting coming through forming a small but unwanted watering hole. The highlight of this adventure was Hubby creating a vacuum in a hose with an air compressor to start the flow of water out of the watering hole. That's right. Hubby understands Physics!
Um, yeah. I can spell Physics.
The week starts again and we Texans are out and about with silly grins on our faces wearing light jackets and driving around on leftover sand.
Until today. There is nasty white stuff on our streets. Something that resembles snow but is more like sleet. And it's cold and windy again. WTF (FROSTING)?
Enough already. Evil Twin has appealed to Old Man Winter and that fat furry rodent that didn't see its shadow on February 2nd. Texas is tired of cold and this sorry excuse for snow that glazes our streets. Actually, I think Evil Twin is roasting that rodent while I'm typing this post. She went out earlier. I hope she was able to grab the yappy mutt that bit me on Sunday when I was out running. Fortunately, only one of its nasty little fangs left a hole in my leg. Ouch.
I should probably go check on her progress. I'm getting hungry.
As for yappy mutts with fangs, got pepper spray?

Well I'm glad somebody does!
hee hee
Evil Twin. Tell her it's not time to eat the rodents. Yet.
bwahahahaha
When I got the part about the hubby cleaning out the drain with the vacuum I thought, This is every man's dream.
Sounds dirty, but that is not what I mean. Get your mind out the gutter.
Dirty and Gutter. Get it?
I think you mean psychic. Your husband knew that drain was gonna clog.
@Quirky - Yeah. Me, too. The rodent got overcooked. I opted for a salad.
@mama-face - Yes, seeing a man operate a vacuum is very sexy. :) Haha. Nope. Hubby is not psychic and neither am I. I don't think I want to know the future.
I understand physics - that's the what goes up must come down thingy, isn't it? Thought so ...
As for the white nasty stuff, we got about a foot of the stuff (dis)gracing our streets, but Groundhog saw his shadow so hoping for the old folk tale truism to be TRUE and and early Spring.
Oh, and here - the pepper spray? CATCH!
Boy, you guys can't catch a break. We're having our fake-out spring here in California. Then in another couple of weeks the rain will start again.
Not that I'm complaining...
Bones? You found bones? Holy crap, I bet it's Jimmy Hoffa! As for hubby's ingenuity- that rocks. I love fizzix. Now, the dog... having experienced this same thing I have to recommend that you kick his fuzzy backside as if attempting to score three points through a goalpost somewhere in Oklahoma.
Tell Evil Twin to leave the fat furry rodent alone. Doesn't she eat real food? If the FFR sees or doesn't see its shadow (wtf knows?), we'll have six more weeks of hell. On second thought, I've got a special relationship with Satan. I'll see if he can send some of that hot air above ground.
I'm sorry, I still don't feel sorry for you. It was -2 with a foot and a half of snow on the ground here this morning. Call me this summer, when it's about 150 degrees down there, and I'll be all over supportive. ;)
@Marvin - Thanks for the spray. Good Luck with that snow!
@Jayne - We should have spring-like temps next week!
@Jamie - Hee Hee. They are probably alien artifacts. I will working on my kicking skills. Thx!
@Lauren - If we go up to Yellowstone, I think we will find some of that hot air and water leaking up from the hot place. ET has re-focused her attention on the squirrels.
@Mike - You don't have to feel sorry for me but thanks anyway. :) Too bad about Colorado this year. Great skiing if you can get to the resorts, right?
It's about time someone roasted up that rodent. What the heck do ground hogs know about weather anyway???
I think Phil is lying about an early spring
Wonderful stuff, pepper spray!
It's 50 degrees here today...either that or Evil Twin is more powerful than we think!
I'm sending her a thank you note just in case (-:
@Random - Useless rodent!
@Jean - Maybe he was thinking of this week but beware, March is coming!
@honeypie - I sure hope so.
@Mrsblogalot - We hit 70 yesterday. Bring it on.
So am I to understand that I can now blame your cold weather for my $20 head of lettuce at the store?
Deep fried ground hog is good eatin.
Yappy mutts can also be deep fried, just sayin.
@VE - Lettuce from Texas? Probably not. Try California. They are very easy to blame for all that ails us.
@Sue - That's good to know, Sue. :)
Hey! Where did this post come from? How did I miss it? Oh... it must have been covered in snow. That explains it!
I thought about you during the Super Bowl and was going to see if you could pick me up some memorabilia. But I lucked out and had a buddy attend the game, so he hooked me up. But I did hear that it was particularly chilly, even for you guys, that day.
You were MIA for a little while on here, so it's good to see back and updating.
