Well it sleeted/snowed last night.  Started raining this morning and I swear I was telling my wife we would probably lose power and it went off within 30 seconds. I later said I needed to talk about sex!! Power stayed off for about an hour, on radio they said Jamestown has about an inch of ice and Albany, Ky was without power. Ya'll be safe and stay put if you don't have to get out. Mailman came and road is a slushy, icy mess. Come on spring!!

Prayer lifted for baby and family. She is a living doll!! There isn't anything like grand babies.

Big K is right I think everyone at some point gets a little heads up. What would have been nice would have been to walked up to that employee and said I'll take 2 bricks also and said it loud enough for everyone to hear. I would get his name and first call the manager if he/she wasn't in the store at that time. Then a letter to corporate would be in order. But as Davetn said life isn't fair. I like Academy better than a bunch of the larger sporting goods stores and I would think their management would appreciate the information. My $0.02

You have probably heard about fair weather hunter and fishermen, well new term fair weather protesters.

Mike some people have No standards, I have a un-named relative that just has a grading system, he culls absolutely none. I have personally seen some really scary looking ones he had, I have been very, very, very drunk more than once, but not that drunk. Btw I am not bragging about getting drunk, in fact I don't drink anymore. Alcoholics go to AA meetings, drunks do not.

I hear ya John, I drove my 4x4 Yukon to check on my Vietnam Veteran neighbor yesterday and I warned him about slipping and falling. I will have to give my mailman credit he usually drives a Buick, but just came by in a 4x4 Chevy pickup so the highway must be passable anyway. Me and momma decided before moving here that on days or weeks like this we would stay put and watch the fire in the Ashley and look out the window until we saw no white!!  Leftover chili today, maybe vegetable soup tomorrow.

Well we live 1/2 way between Livingston and Jamestown. The mailman didn't come yesterday and I doubt we will see him before Saturday. Nobody has ventured out to the highway. The road/lane we live on is close to the dead end and the temperature and rain will be what clears our road. It was snowing like crazy this morning probably got 3 inches of light fluffy snow. I myself have seen all I want for about 25 years. I am ready to go fishing and no ice fishin neither. Ya'll stay safe out there, we don't need any broken hips and such!!

Hey I heard someone a loooooooong time ago say you were supposed to learn at least 1 thing a day. I could learn several and still not know as much as most people. I hope everyone has a chance to get out and find some, be careful for snakes that time of year. I remember that where you would find them would be shady and would grow ferns was a good place. They are well camo'ed and are easy to walk by or on. Once you find one look real close in the area, they grow from spores and I would think they would be pretty close.

These goobermint agencies evidently have all the power they need, because they are constantly changing the rules or making new ones. Until we the people set them straight and take back our government this country is going to look like the UK and Australia. The EPA bans lead, BATF bans this bullet, then this gun, then this and it never ends. The anti-gun, or control establishment is bound and determined to tell you where to go and when to go and how to go. They figured a long time ago that taking the guns would be ugly, but banning every bullet 1 at a time and eventually it is done. Kind of like eating an Elephant, 1 bite at a time.

They are the ONLY mushroom that I would identify and eat myself. Google some pictures and they look absolutely like no other mushroom. There is a shroom called a fake morel, but from all the pictures I have seen they don't look close. Also if you eat 1 or 2 of these delectable morsels of food, you will start looking for them more.

Will the styrofoam covers for outside faucet be enough protection for -9? Would additional insulation be wise? Been a long time since I have put a minus in front of an expected temperature that I was to be in. I thought that was reserved primarily for the folks north of the mason-dixon line. :woohoo:

Thanks for the post. My wife's only remaining uncle lives in Huntsville, Al. and is a WWII vet he is 89 and gets around pretty good. I would love to take him to this museum, we lived about 100 miles from N.O. but never took the time to go see it.Thanks to all our vets, we wouldn't have this great country without them!!

You are so right the roads go both north and south, east and west. I will never forget probably 20+ years ago and it had been a brutal winter in International falls and the news reporter was interviewing this fellow probably mid 70's and he said when spring comes I'm moving south. I thought is was funny that it took him that long to get enough of those cold winters. I was only kidding about the snow, I know it is a royal pain to deal with, when we live in Michigan in 67 my parents had a 65 buick convertible and my first chore every morning was to get a broom and sweep the top off as we didn't have a garage. Ya'll be safe and stay as warm as possible.

I know this isn't exactly hunting, but it is too. I haven't been in a place to hunt morels since I was a kid. I have done a little web searching and seems like April-May is good times to search for these delictable morsels. If you are a morel hunter give me your tips. Thanks Mac

Funny as I am sitting here I am watching, well mostly listening to a Seinfeld show on T.V. That's funny right there I don't care who you are. One of my SIL and BIL don't like Seinfeld, but find the A-team entertaining. When my wife told me this I said they are nuts!!

That's one of many reasons I don't live any farther north. When the water on the lake turns hard, you my friend have ventured too far into never never land!! I hope all the liberal dem's are enjoying their global warming. And yes I know they changed it to global climate change, I hope they freeze their arses off each and every shovel full. It just makes me feel warm inside when I see about 10 foot of this white stuff blanketing NY, Conn, Mass, and the rest of the liberal N.E. sorry for the rant!! Btw I have lived in Illinois and Michigan and have shoveled my fair share of snow, but no mo!!

Peeman gets the prize. A long time ago before gov't welfare the church, families and friends took care of people in need. I am sorry, but if you are able bodied you need to be working. 2 Thes. 3:10 says if any would not work, neither should he eat. Plain and simple folks. I recently retired and there is no telling how much money my employers spent to drug and alcohol test me over the years. I never understood why the workers paying the taxes should be drug tested and the freeloaders not be tested. I have no problem helping those that can't work for a mental or physical problem, but the freeloaders would be picking up trash off of the roads and doing all sorts of WORK. That is the problem, there are a bunch of lazy, babied people that don't know the meaning of getting up at 3am. and getting back home at 8pm, working in the rain, cold etc. Sorry for the rant, but one thing I can't stand is lazy!!

Thanks sargekw that sounds like what I heard only part of.

Hi guys, I recently heard that Obamy passed legislation concerning some digital currency to be unveiled in October 2015. Anyone heard this or was my foil hat turned backwards?? Thanks Mac

Hey David a much better Isis round would be the one's that have been sprayed with pigs blood. I have long contested a squirt gun with pigs blood would be pretty effective. In fact transport planes that normally carry water for forest fires full of pigs blood would probably put a dent in the uprisings!!

Yep and long lost friends and relatives will be contacting you!!

How much was the BE and was there any left?

I also miss America. I bet that cop didn't shoot himself either!! I grew up in this same environment as in those pics and I can tell you it was a better place to be. When a 9 year old could go into the local Western Auto and buy a box of 22 shorts for $0.29 and better than that nobody thought this was a "bad" thing. You could carry a pocket knife to school, or on  an airplane for that matter, while folks lit up a cigarette and had a drink!! We have given our America away to folks that don't LOVE it like we do, so how do we get it back??

In Mississippi the MHP or sheriff's will get a game warden to be with them at road blocks for license checks because they can search without a warrant. They usually do this only during hunting seasons..

The very scariest thing about this is that people throughout the world are so scared of the U.S. dollar that they will try something like this!!
