No frost in the river bottoms yet, but it is rather chilly this morning. :-)
Think it's time for a soak in the hot tub and enjoy the scenery.

Decided to go pickup a small load of hay today & use the 750.




Beats the hell out of climbing up & down out of a smaller truck.

Well we can strike the Razorbacks from any conversation...just been that rough of a season. Has anyone talked to Scott or Dave lately? I know Dave has been spending a bunch of time driving at work and stuff with the kids. Not sure what the moderator's excuse is. Wonder if the 7.3L broke down on him again?

I've been out of town for the last 12 days...so I don't know if we got the same frost as y'all did James...but fall is definitely in the air. Guess it's time to start putting the anti-gel in the fuel....just in case snow-mageddon shows up like the weather guessers are talking about. The old timers are saying the persimmons have knives this time around.

Heard on the radio that it was in the mid 30s. Cold enough I had to scrap frost off the windshield this morning. Also heard next week highs are only in the 40s.

The weather guessers were talking about that cold snap coming from a typhoon that is/was off the coast of Japan this week. They were preaching gloom & doom for the commercial fishing folks around Alaska, supposed to be some wild wave action up there. Maybe I was watching too much of the weather channel; there wasn't much else on at the time.

Heard from a few people the last half of this week is supposed to have highs in the 40s with a chance of flurries.

The weather folks are saying winter mix on Saturday for the fort, though the current chance is only 40%. It's going to be a cold couple of days out here on the frontier starting tonight. Supposed to drop into the 20's for lows for a couple of nights. Maybe I should plug the Princess in.

I wondered if that stuff last night made it that far east. We had sleet at the fort about 2030...I was surprised because I don't remember it being in the forecast; though I haven't been paying that close of attention to the weather guessers. I do know they're still preaching winter mix Saturday evening...about kick off for the hogs at Fayetteville.

Yeah, I had an opportunity to go to the game this weekend...its going to be cold and like you said, snowy
But with MG season in full swing now and a potential cab swap going down, and the fact that I can watch the game in heat I turned em down. Hopefully we'll play all 4 quarters and get that SEC win and get out of this dadgum SEC drought!

Hmm, almost a week and no one has anything to say? Guess no one is a Razorback fan...everyone was froze in place for a couple of days...and everyone is on holiday break early.
