Wife has been working on our taxes. New CPA firm we use now instead of her former employer is night and day difference! I just lay low and let her and them talk "CPA". Long as I don't wind up in a strapless dress answering to the name "*****" in Federal Prison for Tax Evasion - I'll pay my/our preparer!

Up four pounds?! WTH!
KC had their butts handed to them last Sunday. Time for all the "filler" sports. Basketball, baseball, hockey and NASCAR. Five lap limit per race for me.
Going to be COLD this week! More "helping" the Mrs. with housework this week.
Have a Great Week!!

KC for the "3-pete" or Philly because of having a likely relative playing for them? KC. I can root for "cousin" when he has the ball.
Yard season started yesterday. Not all of it just closest to the house. Feeling it.
Enjoy the Game and have a great week!!

WTH? Put post up, go live life, come home, check thread and no mas!
206.8 last with and 208.0 this week. Told wife that since I quit work weight steadily coming back. Probably going to have to help out more around here. Fingers crossed that will help.
Did the leave tree up thing one year and changed decorations per the holidays/seasons. Plastic garbage bags and putting it in the storeroom wound up being best decorations!
Don't ask me why Maverick's GM traded off Luka Doncic. Protestors went as far as to put casket in front of the American Airlines center. Him and LeBron James probably wind up putting on the gloves.
Have a great week!!

The North has been dealing with snow and ice since the Pilgrims got off the Mayflower! Your roads are made to hold up to it better. Put snow tires on your vehicles to drive on it and before it all starts the oil tanks are full for heating and cords of wood put in. Down here the roads aren't built for it. It starts down at the base. If the base is not thick enough or laid down well they expand and contract causing cracks tha****er gets into, freezes and starts potholes. Can tell where base is thin at stop signs because of weighted vehicles, buses, garbage trucks cause ripples like a washboard.
Needless to say watching the video of the Tahoe in the parking lot the only thought in my mind was "don't hit the concrete base holding up the light post". I did it too! Never in a Tahoe but many times in Crown Victorias and the truck I had all those years. Truck was worse on snow and ice than the cars. Too light in the rear. It should be noted that I got stuck several times over the years but more often than not mud was the culprit not snow and ice!

Guess their powdered sugar storage blew up! 10" snow in NOLA. Two favorite videos from there were the priest and nuns playing in the snow and the guys getting their air boats out and playing on snow. Got tickled at some peckerwood who posted video of a Houston PD officer having an impromptu driver's training session on a snow-covered parking lot by doing donuts in the snow. His knickers were really bunched up about it!
Find out today who goes to Super Bowl in two weeks. No dog in the fight but again go with KC three peat band wagon.
Mr. Trump hard and fast out of the blocks.

We're a little warmer but not much.One space heater is assigned to the den and another to the bedroom.
Transfer portal and NIL will not be good for college football in long run. 12 team play off going to take getting used to. Maybe they should drop it down to 8. Season going too long with 12.

Will be watching both the Inauguration and CFP from comfort of my own living room.
No "local" dog in the fight for NFL since KC knocked Houston out of playoffs so I'll be on the KC "threepeat" band wagon.

No snow or ice for us. Just wet and cold.
OSU and Notre Dame next Monday for the CFP. If you want to go as it stands now and is expected to go up is tickets start at $2,600! We'll watch it from home. No lines at the bathrooms and if we lose interest can go to bed.
New episodes start this week. More whining, non-compliance, delusional thinking and maybe 1 or 2 success stories.
Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!!

No bueno.
Prayers for New Orleans and the families involved. Many times I walked those same streets as a lad.
Back to work!!

No problem. I had worn and washed it a few times in past couple of years!

Knowing today will be spent at home I went "shopping in the back of the closet" and got the t-shirt from 2009 that is in profile picture. It still fits with room to spare!
Happy 2025!!

Oops! Chalk it up to grief grazing and muscle mass build up from moving things around the house doing some purging of access crap from the cabinets and closets. Getting back on rower too.
12 game college play off thing taking some getting used to!
Have a Merry Christmas and safe travels if you're going to among the masses.

Thank you. It amazes me how a small animal can take such a huge ass chunk from your heart when they go. Giving other dog all kinds of attention. We took him with us Friday when other one went to vet.

Bad week in Texas. Oldest Yorkie, would have been 15 in February, went across the Rainbow Bridge Friday. Needless to say dark cloud hanging over the house but life, and getting ready for Christmas, rolls on.

Seeing comment about 5" of snow reminds me of reel on FB of old "Newlywed" game clip with Eubank talking to the wife about her wanting snow on her wedding day. She commented "I did not have snow on my wedding day, but I got 8" on my honeymoon!"
Cowboys playing Monday night so today is free and clear football wise. Although wanting to see Georgia take one on the chin yesterday out of a "they are getting to be another Alabama" I did not want Texas to win because of being first year in SEC. Let them, and OU, pay some dues in the conference then get championship. Looks like all the predicted winners won yesterday. Now to next round. With when, where and who plays who yet to be determined.
We took RAV4 load to donate in Tyler Friday. Amazing how much room you have in closets after you get excess clothing off hangers and junk off shelves and out of drawers. Still plenty to go!

Boiled or grilled shrimp, whether fajitaed or wrapped in bacon, is a staple for us. There was some plain white rice that was supposed to go with the gumbo but made do with a little bit of dirty rice since gizzard space is limited! People think cajun/coonass cooking is supposed to loaded with 10 million Scoville units but some of us like to taste the meat not the heat! Ex-brother-in-law mixed his super hot. Could not eat it!

No turkey here. "Cajun/Coonass" food for Thanksgiving. Boiled shrimp, gumbo, dirty rice (google it), cole slaw and toast.
No surprise Ol' **** won. Texas held off the Aggies to go to SEC playoff next weekend, sorry Bob but Ohio State lost. Good game watched it while eating lunch a Chili's. BS with Michigan trying to plant their flag at the end of the game - uncalled for and classless. Cowboys pulled off a win from the Giants. Playing losing teams rest of season, they may break .500!

That's a lot of 'kraut!
Congrats to your Browns beating Pittsburg. Steelers not one of my favorite franchises. Goes back to 70's when they beat the Oilers out of the playoffs then hammered Dallas in Super Bowls.

Lots of really good football this week! Auburn needed four OT's to beat Texas A&M, Notre Dam beat Army, the neighbors to the North, Oklahoma handed Alabama their ass, Florida handed Ol' **** their ass so they will be wanting to take that out on State Friday at the Egg Bowl. With first year head coach, second string QB and overall crappy year State has had - glad we did not get tickets this year. Next year - ordering them after first of the year! Missed going. No job in the way either.
Don't overdo the Festivities, or the food, this week!!

Nothing in law enforcement. Told my wife this morning it has been two nights without the dreams/nightmares I usually have. Don't know if it is dehydration or lack of stress but blood pressure is running way low too. May be going to see PCP in morning.

1-4 in college rankings won like they should. Few surprises though. S. Carolina muscled passed Missouri who State plays next week. Florida upset LSU and same can be said for UGA over Tennessee.
As to meme. Pardon the F-word. Told my employer to stick it in their ear and turned in my gear Friday. I am full on retired now. Four months was enough. Issues from both sides. Knew it was a short-term gig and getting written up Thursday hastened my departure.
Have a Great Week, Gents!! Have to finish yardwork today I started yesterday.
