That's a bugger of a time to be awake Glen. I'm just munging on my dinner - fresh oysters with a home made salsa, white Costello cheese and quince paste on garlic bagel crackers an a glass of Pinot Gris.

Morning gents

Your bro must want to get home before dark. When I would get up real early to make the drive to Alanta in a day I would invariably hit either Nashville or Chattanooga in 5 o'clock traffic. Seems every time I road trip from OKC to Austin, no matter what my plans, I leave at the perfect time to go thru either Dallas or Ft Worth in 5 o'clock traffic adding at least an hour of creeping in heavy traffic to the drive.

Screw snakes, they make me scream like a little girl. I am not afraid of any man walking but I am afraid of every snake. Screw a snake

Um, don't like snakes then? LOL

Interesting, just read a bio of Phil Roberston on Duck Dynasty. He not only played football for Louisiana Tech, a team mate below him on the roster was Terri Bradshaw. Told Terri he was smart and should play for the NFL. Says he turned down playing for the Washington Redskins because he would rather Duck Hunt. He holds a masters in English Education cause he kinda liked Shakespeare and them guys. Says he got his masters so no matter how dumb he looked he could show he actually was about half intelligent. He taught school for several years and started Duck Commander out of his garage. Started making duck hunting videos which were featured on the Outdoor Channel, then was approach by A&E. Says they had the novel idea to make a show about a functional family.

Gotta love a bunch of bearded dudes that use ZZTop for their theme song.

I've got to go walking in the vicinity it was last sighted shortly - hope it's moved on

This ties into the what do you do for a living bit.

I'm a machinist.

And snakes coming in during the winter is not uncommon. We have some old aquariums laying around, drop 'em in for visitors to see. If its still not yet a steady freeze out we'll put 'em back out in a day or so.

Not so with this guy, I've kept him over the winter, we feed him whatever mice we find. He doesn't eat lizards, so over time, the lizards stop being wary, and will ride around on him. He's about 5foot long all stretched out. For the last few months, real mice haven't been turning up in traps, so given the freeze, I've been buying mice to feed him/her. I never understood people who kept reptiles until now, maybe I still don't, but the movement is fascinating.

I'm tellin ya my zipbang.com email server keeps a copy of emails, contacts, calendar, notes, and tasks so if Outlook farkles you just delete the profile make a new one with your account settings and it restores everything. Just sayin'.

Azzy, you need to PM Richard. He can set you up with his system. You will love it. Especially if you use a smart phone. I sync my iPhone to my work computer & my iPad. I can open any one of the three devices and they are magically synced. If I received or send a email on one, any of the others will have it. If I delete a message because I am done it goes in the trash on all three devices. The contacts are all synced. It is painless and cool. Yesterday I was in the attic of my dads house and I forwarded a email to my co-worker that was something I needed to take care of for the office.

I am going to get Richard to set up my sister in law on his system this weekend.

Good morning folks. I am feeling a little bit 70s.



Shortly after this point I just let the sideburns connect at my chin and I have have a full beard since.
