Title: Crazy Weather
Post by: DogsWin7 on March 01, 2012, 08:22:07 pm
With all the crazy weather that has been going on around the nation, it takes me back to when I was in school around(50yrs) ago when the Tornado ripped thru Greenwood.  I always hate to see devastation from twisters.  I know spring is here, and I always fear the worst.  Just thought I would tell everyone to remember those devastated by Tornado's.

Any Crazy weather you remember when you where a kid?

My father "worked" that tornado when I was young, I remember him telling us how bad it was and then driving down from Ft. Smith to see.

I remember as a kid, we didn't have all the warnings on tv and there were no sirens.   My dad and I would stand outside and watch the sky if it was during the day.   If it was night and even the smallest storm came up, mom would herd us all down to our basement where we had cots to finish out the night.  Dad would watch the barometric pressure also and if it dropped then back to the basement.  Once a very bad storm came up and my grandfather was trying to open the door and it was just not going to open.  He yelled at us to get to the basement.  It didn't hit us but it was close to our house. 

I like today's way of alerting us of bad weather much better.   :) I just  wish I had a basement.

Seriously considered taking up the Goverment on the $3000 tax deduction or something like that to put in a Tornado Shelter.  I need one for the g-kids to come over and use.  I have to say my great granddad listened to Noah Weather, not only for weather but for the river crest reports he worked at the Lock and darn in Ozark.  Still listen to Noah Weather, cause of him.

My gosh it was so windy up here in NEA that I thought I was going to be sucked up in the air.  I went to Burger King at lunch and I couldn't see where I was going because my hair looked like an afro.   Shoulda worn a pony tail today.

Yikes!   Hope you have a life preserver!   I think we are going to get some rain but nothing like that side of the state.  Of course my son has gone to a river so now I am trying not to worry about him.   

My lawn did get mowed today so it can soak that rain up.  I think this is the earliest I ever remember mowing the lawn.

You can cut the filet with a butter knife..... really good. Medium rare is the way to go.

We were in Memphis yesterday and I tried to get daughter to stop at the track but you know how that goes.   The princess got her way.   :)   She just HAD to get back home. 

Medium rare is the only way to have a steak IMO.

It is called bleu or raw in AR!

If steaks are over cooked you can't even taste the flavor of the beef IMO. but I like it medium well.
Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: Breitontime on March 26, 2012, 03:17:25 pm
That's way too done. Medium rare is the most a decent cut of meat should he cooked. Anything after that is draining massive amounts of flavor.

It was HUMID in San Antonio.   I mean really humid and they are really concerned about this summer too.

Good thing I can get to some cool water this summer. 

I'm sorry for those who hate the heat.   I agree that 30 days of that temp is too much and I hope it doesn't do that again but I am thinking we better get ready for it again.

TB, looks to me like you all need some kinda tornado warning or something. I'm driving back through Paragould from Kentucky and it looks like the Dust Bowl up here east of Kennett.

The wind is unrelenting right now.  I just drove to Paragould.  To the Walmart.  Record time in and out 28 minutes.  I had stopped at the traffic light and my car felt like a small earthquake was going on.     The dust is horrible.   I hope it will blow all this pollen away so I will quit sneezing.

One aspect that has made this year a little more tolerable has been the (almost continuous) presence of a breezy - even on the hottest days. 

Has anyone read or heard of an explanation on why we are getting more breeze this year?

El Niño?  La Niña? or some other explanation?

Whatever it is, I for one am happy to have the breeze and hope it continues..it is making things much more tolerable.

It makes us do stupid stuff:

"A woman who allegedly left the scene of a minor traffic crash in Van Buren told police she did it because she didn't want her ice cream to melt.

Van Buren police say a vehicle was stopped in the westbound lane of Arkansas Highway 59 at about 6 p.m. Sunday when it was reportedly rear-ended by a vehicle driven by (female).

Police say (she) kept going, so the other driver called police and followed her home.

Fort Smith television station KHBS reports (she) told police she didn't think there was enough damage to merit stopping. She also said she didn't want her ice cream to melt.
(She) was cited for following too closely and leaving the scene of an accident.

No listed number for (her) could be located."

Me thinks we should hose them down as they come in from recess if the heat is 100+...

yes they flat out stink.  no nice way to put it.  luckily ours go into lunch from recess so they do have about 30 minutes to cool down before they come back to the room. 

I use to buy my kid's teachers potpourri as gifts for their desks.  They do stink!!!!  And the stinkiest always wants to hang around the teacher's desks. 

Cloud cover here.  Possible chance for rain.   Not in the 100's.  Woo hoo!!!

It's unreal.  They do it during the night and it's awful.  The best thing is to try and spray the ground to kill the worms they feed or with an aroma that scares them.

Armadillo's have no natural predator left.  They fear wolves and the like, but the wolves don't bother with them.

I take it you are young, and if a game is rescheduled no big deal right?  Well, too us DiehardFBfans it is aggravating.  I have been counting down to kick off since last November!!!!!    ;D  I'm not to upset though ;) :)

Rain hit here about 3:00 pm - strong wind took quiet a few trees and limbs down - raining now.  Yes I have bermuda - earlier in the year I decided to keep it high so it wouldn't burn up.  I ended up running the 6' bushhog over it several times.  Even though it looks like the pasture, my wife really liked how easy it was.  Think we've started a new thing.  ;D

Quit dancing up there!  It is starting to rain harder!   You are doing it on purpose aren't you? :P ;D

Have you seen all the poor people having to leave their homes, the levy's are breaking it's bad.  Think the ground will soak up all the rain so at least maybe the mosquitos won't have any where to go.  That west nile can just stay away too.

I feel bad for the folks down south, but my waist size is so close to the size of the eye of this storm, I could just hold my arms out and spin against the wind and shut this puppy down!

There were actually 2 tornadoes touch down in Corning with how the paths were that we saw. The  NWS say otherwise though...Everyone is OK in Corning It only hit the airport(thankfully no one was working in the hangars that day) and maybe 2-3 homes that were next to and across the highway from the airport..
The hardest part is waiting since it's a holiday weekend, we can't call insurance or workers to come out and start moving metal until Tuesday!!!
I also had a friends Auto Body and Used Car Lot in Paragould get hit by a touch n go tornado...

That's bad.  Sorry to hear that. I HATE TORNADOS!  It's frustrating when you are off work and could get things done and can't because everything is closed.

Good Luck and God Bless.

I would stop off at Grandma's, on Franklin St - Tex side, on my way home from Tech to Tyler.  Would just walked around to the spare bedroom, pop the screen, and go to sleep to the sound of the Attic Fan.  She'd find me or one my cousins the next morning.  Scared the heck out of me to sleep next to that open window, as a kid, after watching 'The Legend of Boggie Creek'.  :-[

We loved Alaska, especially the first 5 yrs of snow, but it got old and the awesome summers just weren't long enough.  My mother-n-law's first visit (from AR) was in Jan, when my first born was born.  She stepped out the front door of the Anchorage Airport and collapsed when her breathe sucked out by -50 deg F air....  ;D

It was a HUGE hangar it was the one they keep showing on the news that has the Air Tractor in it..There were 2 Air Tractors, a Cesna and our Piper Cherokee 140 in the hangar along with 2 boats, and 3 wings for an Air Tractor. Plus other miscellaneous parts and tools.
We are Piper people so we know that our next plane will be a Piper but not sure what kind.. We are looking at Archers, Arrows, and Warriors...Budget will be around $45,000 but we want a fresh annual on whatever we get.

That would be the one - I spent the day cutting up and hauling trees out of neighbors yards.  I lost a chain link fence, which a tree crushed.

40 degrees here - 2:27 pm -  light snow/rain mixed - I'm not complaining, in the least bit, yet!  :D   Had to de-ice plane before flying in.

36 degrees this morn - 4:30 (honestly it is refreshing).

And it's getting dark!  Wow it's pouring!  ;D

Well if you haven't noticed, my job can get a bit boring over 12-18 hr shifts...  ;D
Yes, I can watch the deer walking through the back yard - time patterns.  There is a feeder out there also.  During season, I'll start hunting from here (AK) at day break.  When a buck comes in, my son gets a awake up call.  My family thinks there are some drawbacks as well, like I can see the yard needs mowing, the pool is turning green, horses need watering....etc..  Tomorrow my wife & son are going to put in a food plot - if it isn't too wet.  I'll be watching through the eye in the sky.  A lot of pool parties, but daughter usually remembers to unplug it.  However it is wireless, so you never know where it just might show up. :) Like if we go on vacation - camera is watching driveway.  Occasionally when there are get-to-gethers, they'll bring the camera into the kitchen, so I'm right there.  Yesterday, I watched her nephew swim, while she was cooking.  But the #1 reason - I'm trying to catch Big Foot sneaking through our woods - I know he's been out there, just can't catch him.  OK - it's a toy!  8)

Just trying to get one more swim in before I close it up - my son likes it cold, probably way to cold already for me.  If you come to the party, I'll give you a truck load of Seasoned Firewood .  We really could have a NWA State Championship Party - both teams could stage at my house before heading on down to War Memorial OR I could grab a couple of the same refs and we could shoot it out on Techs New Field....

Besides I've designed something neat - heated Jock Strap.  I want to see how it works in cold water.  Pretty simple - I'm calling it the Shake and Bake.  I think you're going to want one of these..

Sounds good!  I shut my pool down labor day. :'(  I love swimming, and anything outdoors.  Keep trying to teach my little one but he has a hard time being disabled.  I have locks everywhere!   Might hang on to that firewood Valley they say this Winter will be a record setter possibly.  But I understand wanting it out of the yard.   Donate it to Tech for a bonfire! ;D

Kinda joking HF - but I do have plenty of wood.  Most is in 6 foot links, year old, I just cut up and split as the winter goes.  Some of it is huge Oak Logs.  Now I have a few more trees, laying out back, from the storm.  And on top of all that, I'm about to clear about an acre for a pond.  I'll holler at you, next thur, you can come take a look on the way home.  I know you could find a round bale in Hector.  Diehard, down trees around my yard are no big deal - I'll use them as deer hunting blinds.....  ;)

Was figuring you was just joking, but I try to keep an eye for free/cheap firewood for my parents. My dad insists on having a wood stove and using it as his main heat source, even though he has gas and electric heat to. Not dissing would heat I have a wood stove in my house for back-up, it's kinda nice to just walk over and turn the thermostat up when I'm cold instead of messing with a wood stove lol

Round Bale? You meaning hay or am I just missing the point like I think I am..lol

And the deer hunting sounds like my parents back yard, if my mom would let dad shoot them......I've seen as many as eight at one time in their orchard, well within bow range of the back porch lol.

It's feels good outside right now.  Got my hoodie on. 

I didn't go to the Johnny Cash Remembrance last night but stayed home under the blanket and watched the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Braves.  It rained cats and dogs but there were tons of cars at the Convo last night.

  Today I have been downtown to the Bar B Que festival.   Ran several errands.  I am now about to put on the stove some Irish Stew.  Popping some crusty french bread in the oven.  And probably settling down for the evening.  Unless someone convinces me to get back out to go see 38 Special tonight back at the Bar B Que Fest.  :)

We could smell the smoke from Main Street at our clinic yesterday and it smelled like heaven!!!!  Plus Blessed Sacrament was cooking bar b que too for their Fall Festival!

I had bar b que twice last week.  Can't get enough.  :)

If You are going to let it snow here in NEA, please let it snow bunches and not some just little biddily amount that makes me think I can drive on it to go to work on Wed.  Let it snow enough that I will know there is no way my sedan can make it and if they want me at work, they will come get me.  Not that I can't drive on it but because of the other idiots behind the wheel of their cars.

Thanks Lord!

Pack the trunk down with cat litter.   Drive slow.  Pat your brakes.

It's not that hard to drive in snow.  My teacher was my daddy and I never saw him in the ditch.  He would put it in low and go right up the hills.

Now ice.  That's a totally different story.  I was sitting at a red traffic light in LR once.  Came to a complete stop.  Had been sitting there stopped completely for maybe 30 seconds and my car just started sliding on it's own.  Ice means I stay home.

Yep, that's the way it works around here,  warm enough to bring in the moisture, then a cold front to trigger the snow/sleet/freezing rain. If it's really cold, the moisture gets squeezed out and we get nothing or a dusting. I for one, hope we miss it, I hit the slopes when I want to see snow.

But there is an ENE wind at about 20 mph. If we get any clearing temps are gonna plummet.

That will bring on the changeover to snow tomorrow much sooner than expected....and an expedited trip back from El Dorado.

Put a sleeping bag in your car when it's cold and icy.  Lot of people have died, from cold exposure, while waiting on help.

0500, I-40 (Oklahoma City) is just about shutdown from car pileups and ice.  It's hard to see Black Ice, which blends in with the asphalt.  You'll be cruising along and suddenly realize you are floating.  Sometimes it'll be in an open area where the wind just puts a glaze on the road.  Of course bridges are going to ice over.  Brakes are the worst thing to use on and ice, give it gas and let your front wheel drive straighten you up.

Have to wipe your head lights and tail lights, often, when all that yuk is blowing and splattering on you car.

Little Rock is forecast to be the stand off between low and high front - Rain turning to Snow, 20-30 mph wind, turning to freezing mess, temps dropping.  Looming Tornadoes as well..   Yes I'm ecstatic about the duck hunting tomorrow, but I still want y'all to all be safe.   ;D

0710 Freezing Rain has hit Russelllville!

Similar story here.
A bit of rain/sleet mid afternoon followed by a lot of blowing, wet snow. 
Probably 4 - 6 inches on the ground here but unlikely to stay very long since our ground is still fairly warm.
Considerable wind gusts here to around 25 mph or so.

Ha ha it was a good day to ride...  I still haven't fixed that shifter pedal.  Have to get a new pedal.  First time visit to a Harley Shop, coming up.

0400 28 degs - snow has stopped - forecast mid 30's today, dropping to 18 degs tonight.

What'd you do to your pedal, Valley?
Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: Valleysports on December 26, 2012, 12:42:03 pm
That is shifter in which the set screw broke.  So it was machined out an re-threaded.  When I went to put the new screw in, it was too big to go through the hole on the frame post.  I could drill the hole bigger (on frame) or just get a new shifter/ correct screw.
Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: Breitontime on December 26, 2012, 01:22:49 pm
Or, you could have a screw made. Ask whoever machined and tapped you a new hole to turn you a screw on a lathe. The top of it can be the diameter of the lever, the bottom the diameter of the frame. Just have to make sure it's the proper pitch.

All you'd need is a bolt, and one of these to thread it.

We got 8 inches.  I hate snow.  I hate ice.  I drove to work at the top speed of 25 and that was too fast.  Got stuck trying to get out of the drive way.  Rocked that baby until I got going again.  Got stuck turning off of a main street onto a side street.  Backed up and went a different way.  Got stuck trying to get back into my driveway.

Im exhausted.  Going to bed early tonight.

And yep.  It stuck.  It stuck real good.  My lab likes it though.  He ran and ran.

13" at my place near Magic Springs. Up the road in Jessieville, they got 15".

I haven't seen that much fall that fast since I was in Chicago in the late 90s. We got most of that in about 4 hrs time.

Had we not gotten dry slotted, some of us in this part of the state would have flirted with 20".

It's snowing here again. 

In the heat at least I can get out and drive around.  I can drive on the snow but its much harder.  I have to go to work.  I don't get off when it snows.

I'm very serious - it's the one vitamin I'm sold on.  I take fish oil & a multivitamin also, but that D doesn't just help mood and winter blues. 

Wife has a cousin who was using a walker and schedule for hip surgery on Monday.  On Thursday he ran into an old friend (Doc), at the Sizzler, who told Joe to come by the clinic in the morning and let me do some test.  After testing, he told him it does look bad - he prescribed like 6000 iu of Vit D3, twice a day.  Joe was very doubtful, but delaying surgery wasn't going to hurt.  3 weeks later he was back to walking normal.  3 months later he was back to his passion, water skiing, and you'd never know there had been a problem.  Joe is about 57.

Vitamins do not need a prescription unless you are trying very high doses.  B12 injections need a prescription.

Talk to a doctor.  That's the best way to find out IF you need the vitamins and how much.  IMO.

Some areas got up to around 5 inches I was told.  Maybe 6.   I know it rained hard and constant here around Jonesboro!   The Spring was high but going back down now.    The low water bridges were covered but some friends in Hardy said they could drive over them now.

Turn around, don't drown.

It was slick.  Some idiot was riding my bumper.   I gave them the California howdy.

Yes.  I did.  No that's now how I'm suppose to act but I did it. 

That's OK if they want to pay for a Mercedes new bumper.  :)

So all the rain spread the ducks out and my hunting isn't so great right now.  But I sat there this morning, in possibly the neatest duck blind ever built, I'm told, just watching the snow coming down.  I'm having to canoe in and out now.  I feel like Travis Crabtree, canoeing around in those Cypress Bottoms.  Remember Travis?

Valley, you're not going "soft" on us are you? ;)  You're a rough and tumble man who has experience from your days in "The Last Frontier" state.

The temp here is currently right at 0 with a negative wind chill of -10 to -15.  Some of the ski resorts in the higher elevations were closed down because of more dangerous temps and wind chills.  That rarely happens here in the Granite State.

It never gets cold with the right gear, Valley. I have an armored textile jacket for warm weather. It gets cool, I break out the Vanson leathers. It's never cold in those.

Some of my biker buddies up North (PA, Upstate NY) ride year round. They wire an AC plug in, and buy heated suits. It's like a personal heater.

As a matter of fact MHSPanther, I've got to have some very good reason to be out in the cold.  I prefer 100 degs.. I ride my bike for enjoyment, not in to bundling up to risk my life.

I'd have to say my favorite is surrealism.
I spend a decent amount of time at the Salvador Dali museum.

I have a friend who does amazing paintings, for very reasonable prices, $150-$300. She's the one who got me into art a few years back.

That's a very good price for oil paintings. 



impressionists are my favorite.  esp. monet.
Going with Impressionist, VanGogh is a favorite.

like his work too.  i just read a very good book about him.  it was fact based but also had the a fictionalized account of a love affair between him and the french prostitute he gave his ear lobe to.

I like them and I also love the paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.


High is 50 degrees so far and the sun is out!

I keep feeling like I'm trying to get sick.  If that is possible.  Scratchy throat.  Sinus hurts.  But not fever.  That is the only way I stay home is if I have a fever.

It was snowing here a little bit.   So you know what I'm thinking......

It gets super cold in Orlando, then super hot in the summer. Spring Training there sucked. 30's, 40's in the morning, bumping 90 by noon.

Christmas 09 we came from Tampa to Arkansas for the holiday, drove straight from Arkansas to Miami to see the ex's Cuban familia. It was colder in Miami than it was in Arkansas. If I remember correctly, it set a record for low temps, dipped down into the upper 20's on South Beach.

So I wash my hands singing Happy Birthday to me 2 x's.  I wipe my desk down with Disinfectant.  I use the wipies at Kroger, Walmart etc.  Had my flu shot.   Held my breath if someone sneezed or coughed near me until I could get away from that area.

I was sick in the bed could not get up for 4 days.  Tired, sore throat, cough from you know where, swollen tonsils, no fever.  Went to the dr.  Swabbed for strep and the flu.  Came back negative.  Said it was viral.  No drugs for that.   Get to wait it out.

Ribs hurt from coughing.  Head feels like a water balloon.  Nose raw from blowing.  Can't taste anything.  Been through 2 boxes of Kleenix.

Darn it.

Snow possible Tues eve/Wed AM.
Looking at possible accumulation N and W of a Ft Smith/Greers Ferry/Harrisburg line, as well as the Ouachita Mountains (that's me).

1-4" is the preliminary forecast at the moment.

Model runs have gone back and forth with this and likely will again on the next series of runs.

Now, BG, seeing how you're so consumed with my life, I'll now await your response.

Trust me when I say nobody can whip my arse about the choice of words I used more than I have. I gave myself 72 hours after I posted bond to do that, and then I stopped it.

I didn't threaten anyone. I know this, and my man upstairs knows it too. If you feel the need to run your gums about it, feel free. End of story.

Yes, only ice on the trees.  None of the roads.  Yet.

Of course when I come out of Kroger, a toad strangler is coming down.  Yes I got wet and am freezing but I was so glad it wasn't freezing rain or sleet, I didn't even care!!

I stayed at the Ritz about 7 years ago, but it wasn't all inclusive. I really didn't see anything to spend a lot of time down there. It seemed more a college town now, I did enjoy a trip in country to see the Mayan ruins. Have you looked at the Cabo area? Lots of great golf courses and resorts, and you can always fish out of Cabo.

I echo RP's thoughts, I prefer Cabot to Cancun.
Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: Valleysports on February 25, 2013, 03:28:40 pm
Cabot?  :o

Well we haven't been to Cancun in 20 yrs, but loved it back then.  Was in Cozmel last year, grown too much.  South of Cancun there are caves you can swim through and stuff like that.  I've seen enough of real mexico, I could lay out on the beach or sit by the pool relaxing all day.  Don't care much about the fishing at Cabo anymore.  Would go to Kauai if I was going to that side.  Ya'll got anything else?  Been to Jamaica...  Hawai many times..  How about the Virgin Islands?
Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: ricepig on February 25, 2013, 04:16:14 pm
The only time I was in the Virgin Islands was on a cruise and we only stayed a day, it was nice, but I don't remember anything special. It did seem like we snorkled there, but it was one of those cruises were we stopped at several islands and they all seemed the same. I've got a good friend who's brother is one of those team sport fishing guys and has a condo in Costa Rica, I really enjoyed fishing down there, and I'm not a big small boat kind of guy in the oceans. That was more a guys trip if you know what I mean, haha. I haven't been to Aruba, but another buddy went there on his honeymoon and said it was fabulous.

I've been to Cabo four times and have always felt safe, but I stay about 30 minutes from Cabo at a resort. I did have a friend who's group was robbed by a gang further up the Baja coast, but they wondered off the beaten path on a four wheeler/dune buggy ride.

Atlantis is perfect.  And you can sometimes get a good deal on the rooms.  We have also stayed in Nassau.  A little rougher than Atlantis but the beaches are great.  Be careful which taxis' you take.  If you just stay at an all inclusive that is the way to go of course.  The Open Market is quite the experience if you want to get out.  Just always be careful.

I found an article titled "Year without a summer".  It stated that in June of 1816 it snowed in Boston and New England.  It was caused by a Volcanic eruption that occurred earlier in April causing a massive climate shift.  I assume its true but I'm unfamiliar with the website so hesitant to post the link.  If anyone knows for sure please post it....thanks :)

So the debil tried everyway he could to stop me from going to Easter service this morning.   I have the cold that won't stop.  For a week now.  No fever.  Probably just allergies but it's been bad.  Raining cats and dogs the time I leave.  Made it though.   

Jesus lives!

Had the family and friends over for ham, potato salad, baked beans, rolls, deviled eggs, Easter candy and banana split pie.

Now going to pass out  for a nap and the sun comes out.    :/   Hope everyone has had a blessed and wonderful
Easter!!

No beach trip for me this year Piggie.   sad sad face.    Everyone is in school this summer and we can't seem to find any time to go.

Maybe next year I will just take off 2 weeks in a row for beach time.

Hard to believe that on the 19th marked 45 years since the horrible Tornado that ripped through Greenwood.   Times Record had a picture of it, with an article detailing how bad it was.   There was no warning systems back then.  I Pray everyone stays safe because with spring comes storms.

Shawnee, Oklahoma (CNN) -- [Breaking news update at 4:58 p.m. (EST) Monday]

Areas of metropolitan Oklahoma City appeared to be in shreds Monday afternoon after a massive tornado moved through the region. "The houses are destroyed. ... Completely leveled," a helicopter pilot for CNN affiliate KFOR said. A school was apparently among the structures leveled by the twister.........

The tornado was estimated to be at least two miles wide at one point as it moved through Moore, Oklahoma, in the southern part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, CNN affiliate KFOR reported.

Meteorologists warned residents to go underground to survive a direct hit from the tornado.

"It's just destroying everything. There's so many homes in the air right now. The motion on this storm is sickening," said storm chaser Spencer Basoco.

More than 171,000 people could have been in the path of the storm.

Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: Brian G on May 20, 2013, 06:37:28 pm
Good friend of mine lived in Moore in 1999 when that one occurred.  I just heard the NBH he lived in was two blocks from that elementary school.  He moved back from there ten years ago.

The deal with these kids at the schools has to be nightmarish on many fronts.  It has to be hard to know what kids were where and trying to account for whomever might have already been picked up.  You can't forget that the teachers who might know that info might not be in a position to speak.

Best thing at this point is that area is seemingly safe for the night and they have lots of daylight.

Aren't we on the extreme for a nice summer this year?  Nearly June and not over 90 yet, rain coming every few days, ponds are flush.  Wonder where we are on official drought now?  One thing I'm watching is mosquitoes, I just remember how E Tex had drought for 2 yrs and the next time they had a wet year (last yr), their West Nile went Wild...  I've picked up a lot of ticks and seen a lot more snakes than usual the last few days.  Teal season 3 months out...

Talked to my old men friends at the Fitness Center, this morning, they said we ain't near caught up on the drought.  We're getting little shower in Russellville now.  Those old guys are such a source of information. 

Today's discussion was barbecuing.  Among many things, I learned, was to wrap the wood chips in tin foil like Hershey Kisses.  I have a dozen wrapped and ready now.  I molded the tin foil around a salt shaker, put the wood chips in, a straw, gave it the final twist, and pulled the straw out.  Place these little smoking tepee's right on those HOT coals.

Went down to Atkins to work on a dove field this evening.  Kept thinking a tornado was going to pop over Petit Jean mtn at any moment, windy and dark..  Swamp was flush with water, wildlife is thriving this year.  Snakes everywhere.  I've also found several tiny fawns...  Mosquito Repellent necessary.

I found out my father is good friends with the Sheriff that died in Scott Co.  He was trying to rescue two women.

Flooding is going to ge graphic today and tomorrow all along the River Valley and other areas.

Everyone have a good thought for the cattle farmers as they can't just pick the herd up and go to a hotel.

I know a lot of people who have moved or are moving to Arizona.  HF the weather is really to your liking and houses 50% off, but climbing.

Tilly is 26 miles from Hector, or 30 miles south of Marshall on Highway 27. It's 45 miles to russellville give or take a little...about 45 minutes from clinton.

Best viewing, for Elk, starts 1/4 mile south of downtown Ponca.   At Dawn / Dusk they'll be between the river &  fields next to the road.  Be on the look out because they will step off the wooded slope, on west side of the road, out in front of your car crossing to the east side.  Take your binoculars.

Only place I've ever seen one was(I think it's on hwy 74), near Steel Creek camp ground, was a Cow and a Calf...Dad's seen some Bull Elk North of Jasper near Pruitt...Heard they've been seen as far south as Moccasin Gap(North of Dover on 7) though...and I know the folks up near Snowball wish they'd go away...Forest Department has no problem fining you for your cattle being on the National River Park Lands...but won't pay a dime to fix the fences that the Elk broke in the first place...

Mine shall be spent wakeboarding/tubing. And for the evening, about 15 of us chipped in and bought a couple grand in fireworks. Should be a solid show. Have about 100lbs of meat to put on the smoker for about 13 hours, brisket, ribs, tenderloin, pork butt, all the good stuff.

A big treat growing up, other than chasing the Wake Village ice cream truck, was when grandma would take us to Spring Lake?  Is that the name of it Piggie - seems like it was somewhere out to the SW side of Texarkana.  Fun times on hot days..

prob. talking about crystal springs.  it is closed down now i think.  several years ago, liberty eylau middle school took a group of kids out there at the end of the year and one of the kids drowned.  spring lake park is on texas side.  they had a pool but not a beach type area like crystal springs was.  they filled in the pool at spring lake park and put in a big splash pad.  they have also opened up a water park on arkansas side not far from my house.

Yes - Crystal Springs!  My big challenge was to swim out to the concrete diving dock, wasn't big enough to ride the cable.  That place was happening.  Went to Spring Lake Park to feed the ducks.  We have a Spring Lake, up here, near Mt Nebo.  Wish I could go back in time.  :'(

Good deal - camp sites go fast towards evening and the Rangers bust people not on a designated camp site.  Also I don't think you need a fishing license to fish in the National Park.  Those trout streams are gorgeous and so inviting.  The Buffalo will be walking around you, be careful.  What a great trip for your family!

seen 85 on the Thermometer on my Durango on the way home from work today....Got excited about being able to roll the window down and enjoy the "cool" air...

The Few people as possible sounds like a great idea....friend of mine is going to Branson this weekend to "get away" from people....And I'm thinking the whole time he was talking about it, is Dude your going to go stand in line and be elbow to elbow with people all weekend in 100+ degree weather(If it's not raining)...that sounds like an amazingly terrible time...

4 weeks is not too early when water is still standing in all the right places.  Actually it was perfect,  millet, corn, soybeans, rice, great growing season.   Won't have to do near as much flooding.

Ok, I thought we were talking about duck season, not teal. As far as flooding, I suspect it will quit and not rain again until Dec, seems to be the norm.

ha ha ricepig I knew what you were thinking - they might actually move teal season to Sept 1.  Yes it's just a teaser of a season, but it's something.  My swamp is holding water pretty well, that's what I'm liking.  Last year I was on dry land until Dec, then flooded out.

Cuckabird seems like there is a bumper crop on the deer.  I'm finishing several with soybean, corn, grain, & of course protein.  Have to do some WRP culling this year, been shootin that bow.

I haven't been back down there but plan on heading there this weekend to do a little clean up. My brother did go get the camera and he was on there again with some others that were decent but no wall hangers. Man I hope this guy hangs around until rifle season. I'm no bow hunter but my lil bro is. He will probably wound the dang thing before I get a shot at him. 2 years ago he shot at a good one that he never found until we were duck hunting one day and my dog found it. It scored 160. stinkin bow hunters!

You know what?   There is nothing better than on a beautiful day like today to drive across the delta on a two lane blacktop backroads.  Saw the Bayou Deview, Cache River and the White.

And very very little traffic.   Sunroof open, windows open and radio playing Tom Petty, Beatles and some Stevie Ray Vaughn.  Now that's living in the South to me!

Diehard - TB, y'all need to take up Duck Hunting.  I'm with you on summer, but if you'll find something in the winter, that you get addicted too Nov - Jan, it'll help your outlook.  Better get that firewood put up, freezing rain right around the corner.

Valley I have been duck hunting.  I'm sorry but gettin up that early and freezing is not for me. 

Even though it was beautiful watching the sun rise and watching the ducks come in.  But I was so cold I could not control my teeth chattering!   I thought I might scare the ducks away they were chattering so badly.

I will just stay in the lodge and drink coffee thank you.  Burrrrrr!!!

Valley, the only thing that helps my outlook in the winter is looking forward to spring and summer.   I really don't like winter.  I MISS the sunshine.  I need to be one of those people that can leave when it gets cold and go lay on a beach somewhere.  I would stay out all day but I can't so I will have freeze even with an electric blanket!  I do like to see the pretty leaves change color in the fall.

I have been duck and quail hunting etc. with my Dad when I was little.  I loved being with my Dad...he would have to help me or carry me half the time across the water...lol!!! but he would make the hunting trip short and fun! :)

What just happened?  Woke up from a nap and it was hailing, so I went to put my truck under something.  Wasn't thinking much of it, but rain/hail began to fall hard when I got to the garage.  Then I couldn't get the door open because of a vacuum pulling from the other side.  That got my attention and I thought I'd better go get clean underwear on, just in case, or even put pants on.  Looking out the window I see several trees twisted and broke off.  Back in bed, with Weather Channel on.

About to put up firewood, over next couple of weeks.  HF you're welcome to bring your chainsaw and cut some up, take a load home with you.  I put cut logs in a pile, all summer, then have a cutting/splitting party in the fall. 

Now DH you know what mode I'm going into?  It's about hunting season full time - already the rut, ducks around the corner.  Let it rain, fill up my swamp, turn cold, and bring the birds down south....  Whoo Hooo!

Caught this cooler full in about 2 hours today around one pier ---- Horseshoe Lake --- 84 --- limit on the oxbow is 50 a person.

Did not need ice to keep the fish cold .... LOL

Actually posted a image of a cooler full we caught 2 to 3 weeks ago.  The cooler looked identical to today's catch though. In the last 3 weeks my buddy and I have caught around 500 out of one place.... unreal fishing.

Latest computer model guidance suggests a possible major Arctic blast late next week into the weekend, complete with precipitation.

One temp graphic I saw puts lows in Arkansas in the single digits and teens on 12/6.

If this verifies it could affect next week' state championship games.

So I slept in, had my coffee, watched  a Christmas Move.  The only reason I'm getting out today is to go to the Christmas Tree lot and buy my tree.

Then it's back to my nice warm cozy home.   Baking cookies and drinking some hot apple cider. 

Thankful.  And so very blessed.

It's basically dropping ice pellets in my yard and has been for over and hour.  A little north of me is snow with 6 inches in Pea Ridge.  It's taken a bit, but it appears it's no here in spades and what it does varies quite a bit by location to its form.

Usually you can hear the semis on 65 a few miles away across the valley and coupla hills. Standing out here on the porch, all you can here is the coyotes and some geese flying somewhere up there, and of course the sleet which has slacked up some. Hate winter, but it sure does have it's moments.

No sleet falling up there? My In-Laws live in Tilly, and they said it was a balmy 25 degrees at 5 this evening.....I"m sure it's much colder now...

She's really coming down again. I've lived here my whole life and I'm not sure I've ever seen this much sleet. No snow at all yet.
The wife and some of the other nurses are staying in the hospital in Harrison so they can be sure to be at work in the morning. Bad thing is, it's just gonna get worse.

The clinic stays open no matter what.  And in the snow the old Benz does great.  Not great on ice and sleet.  So I called in today.  Both kids are home.  The daughter's new puppy is here.  Cooked  big old breakfast.  Praise God still have electricity.  Watching movies.  Normally I go into work no matter what.  Even have people come get me.  But I am really glad I stayed home today.  Happy,happy,happy!

We made the half hour drive to the liquor store a bit ago, roads weren't too bad. Though, the usual half hour was stretched to about 50 minutes.

Within 10 hours of my power going off, the temp in my house went from 72 degrees to 61.   Within the next 14 hours it had dropped to 39 degrees.   Praying for all without heat and for the workers who are out trying to help.    It's extremely dangerous with all the trees continuing to fall and when they do restore power it's not for a little while in some cases because another tree or line will break do to the weight of the ice.

I'll be glad when it melts.

You don't want a lot scrapped - it makes driving much worse when you remove the snow and leave only the ice...

Hmm, Walmart, our church, and about 70% of the businesses used a bobcat or blade to scrape their parking lots on Sat, all were good this.morning. I'm not talking about a road grader or truck going 30 mph doing it, I'm saying put your blade/bucket down and remove it. It's worked all over town where they did this.

Yes, That's what's wrong with the roads in Hector...well that and Pope County isn't bothering to do anything to actually clear the roads this year. Two of the main side roads are completely cleared off, but Hiway 27 through town is an ice rink for most of it.

School's already been canceled for Hector tomorrow, and ATU is delaying for an hour or two..

We had Saturday school at Marshall back in the 70's but I don't think we did in the 80's even though my senior year (88), I'm pretty sure we missed three weeks in January. I'm all for Sat. school to keep the kids from going into June.

Dec 21-23 time frame. Another Arctic blast at a minimum.

The weather is supposed to be cold this time of year but today the temp was nice.   I try to soak up all the sunshine I can.

Over the last few years, we've had a lot families visit while I've had a roaring fire going.  Some will just stare, then say they had forgotten how nice a real fireplace is (the beauty side of it anyway).  Two have unconverted their fireplaces back to real wood and loving it.  I think we also enjoy the wood cutting parties.  I love sitting by the fire, sipping a cup of Hot Chocolate, from the Keurig, while my clothes dry out from hunting.

Regarding the weather, this poster likes the seasons and always has even when growing up in Arkansas.  No question  about it, the Winters can be brutal in New England; yet, it is what we expect and one can adjust.  Snow boarding and skiing are awesome activities and a lot of fun.  The Fall is my favorite; it can't be beat here.

Having said all that, if you kind folks would be so kind as to say a few prayers for me and my son to make it safely out of Logan in Boston to the Little Rock airport in the early am tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated. (some icing conditions exist)

Thanks to DiehardFBfan as well for the good wishes above on my travels.  The weather, for the most part,, was very nice in Arkansas while I was there. Reached 60, I believe, one day.

Now its back to the grind here in New England where the weather is just awful.  Blinding, blowing snow and bone chilling temps.  You folks on here would not like this type of weather!

Layers is the way to go.  My door to the backyard was frozen shut.  I had to pull on it 4 times very hard before it opened.  The dogs stayed out for like 2 seconds.   

I see a cardinal eating the berries off of a tree.   I should have bought some bird seed but I forgot.  Not going now.  I have some bread I can throw out for them.

I think we may have missed the snow.  Hallerluyer!!!    But the bitter cold is here,  Ugh!!  I'm wearing my long johns under the scrubs tomorrow.   They are so comfortable but paper thin!!

That is a difference, we having clothing for -73 windchill (two weeks ago).  I can loan you an Artic Parka Ridge Rat.

Hey folks, if you try to roll your windows down - you can break the window regulator from the motor.  Also plastic becomes brittle, so don't force anything.  And if you need heat, make sure it is electric, so many warm climate people kill themselves every year because they are not used to dealing Carbon Monoxide.

A little greasy, as ducks tend to be.  These were fat ducks.  I had to skim a lot of fat off the top after boiling the bird.  Lots of flavor from it, however.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdRT-WjCUAE18p4.jpg)

For lunch I had another bowl of it and bit down on a BB I'd missed while picking through the bird.  Chomped right down on it and a filling in a back tooth.  Hurt like a mother, but that's part of it when you eat wild game.

Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: Valleysports on January 07, 2014, 05:25:03 pm
If you find your windshield wipers with ice on them, pull them back and pop em first.  Get the defrost on.  If you turn the wiper on and it's frozen in place, they can break.

Houses, down here, aren't insulated for this - open the cabinet doors under your sink, so warm air can circulate around your water pipes.  Leave your water trickling out of the faucet. 

Throw some kitty letter on ice spots, like on your steps to prevent slips.

Oh don't leave your parking brake on overnight - they can easily freeze in place. 

Put your heat on Emergency Heat, instead of Auto - no need to circulate it outside. 

Don't top your gas tank off and park it in your garage, where the gasoline expands.

And if you have water pipes in the ceiling for some reason (on a single story house) that you had no idea about, you may want to find them before they burst.

Which happened this afternoon.

Driving home at 4:30, everyone on facebook was acting like we didn't have roads, just sheets of ice on the road. I slipped in one spot that wasn't brake related(Moron in front of me kept slamming on his brakes everytime he seen a wet spot on the road...it was raining so let's just say he was alternating between the gas and brake)

Thanks TB.......I don't have the flu...I was just commenting that  I didn't get my shot this year and I have a friend who I graduated with whose brother is on life support.  I don't know what I was thinking....I have always got one since my child was a premie.   It's really bad this year.   I feel so sad for all the families.   


High 71!!!

Gotten a flu shot once in my life, got the flu something terrible. Only time I have ever gotten it.
Title: Re: Crazy Weather
Post by: True Believer on January 21, 2014, 08:26:47 pm
I always get one and the two times I haven't gotten it, I got the flu. The in the bed, high fever, hallucinating and coughing a lung up.

I work around too many people who have it not to get the flu shot. It's also mandatory at my clinic.

When i was in the military we were required to vaccinate.  I got the flu every time. Since being out i never vaccinate and have had nothing worse than the common cold.

I've been back and forth between Miami and Daytona all week. Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, and had a bike show in Miami yesterday.

Got invited to be a vendor at Daytona Bike Week in a month. Definitely doing that one. That is going to be freaking awesome.

I'm at the Super Speedway right now, hanging out in the garages with about $10M in Ferarri's.

Could be. I'm back in Arkansas now. Started my bike build for the show at Daytona Bike Week today. Got a single side swingarm ordered, got a frame I'm about to hack up and redesign, and an engine to hot rod up a bit. Thinking about putting a turbo on it. Built a seat out of carbon fiber for it, still have to do the tank and fenders, maybe some sidecovers if I decide to run them.

This weather is wreaking havoc on my bank account. Being stuck inside is bad.

Oh well, Lot of parts on the way for the engine in the bike I'm building. I've been holding off dropping $800 on a set of CR race carburetors, but I spent about a hour looking at them and pulled the trigger. And an Ohlins rear shock, that ran me a touch over a grand.

Hopefully it's nice out tomorrow. Or, maybe I need to go back to Florida. That'd be cheaper than shopping for parts for one of the three bike builds going on right now.

This is a zoomed in pic from my phone this morning from the backside of the post office when I got to work today.  You can "barely" see the Goblin water tower overlooking the Stadium. I guess that it could have been worse, getting more snow from North of us or more ice from South of us.  You guys and gals take care out there.

Have I ever mentioned putting cardboard in front of your radiator?  Arkansas folks would be embarrassed, but if you have trouble with the air temp, inside car, warming up or staying warm when you're driving try it.  Just bungy a piece of cardboard or something to block the wind off the radiator.  Don't leave it when the weather is warmer - 40 degs.  Don't want to overheat your engine.

House Windows - if you have cold air leaking through your windows or they're just not insulated enough, you can put cellophane over them.  Just slap it over the whole window, trim to trim...

I430 bridge over the Arkansas River is now shut down and it looks like a parking lot from what I am hearing. Snow is covering the parking lots and roads around ACH. Glad I brought the jeep tonight. Getting close to 4 inches at our house.

Monticello/Warren is also getting it too. It took my folks a while to get home from Fordyce to Warren this evening from the roads being bad.

Back in my younger days when i had my first truck , i actually had to put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator because i had removed the thermostat when it went out. Only way to make the thing heat up was to block the air from the radiator

Due to the sucky weather. I've been at the shop all day. Building a custom bracket to mount this swingarm too. It's a wee bit wider than the inner width of the frame.

This thing is going to be pure sex when it's finished in a couple weeks.

People are ignorant. I saw more cars in the ditch this am and I don't understand how. Other than poor ignorance. I made it home just fine from LR to Benton.

I heard this was the case. I cannot imagine abandoning your car and walking ... when there is just 1-3 inches of snow.  Go slow and get through it.

I think we might have gotten an inch or maybe half an inch.

But this I can drive on.

...but the larger question is....can the OTHER person drive on it?

Stay safe TB!

We have had mostly ice this winter.  So the snow was welcome!!

No sadly 700, I have to say most still can't.  Our roads were pretty clear by noon.

Sad situation on I-30 at the Red River Bridge in Fulton (Hempstead County). A car lost control on the bridge and hit the concreate barrier. As the 3 passengers got out of their car a 18 wheeler jack knifed on the bridge. They inturn jumped into the river to miss getting hit by the 18 wheeler. Two of the made it out of the river, the third victim has not been found. Sad situation. Prayers to all involved. The trucker and others are doing ok. SW Arkansas is looking at another blast of bad weather Tuesday.

women drivers...in Pope County...Seem the most likely to speed...I can be on the 4 lane in between Russellville and Dover, doing 65-70(speed limit is 60)...and it's nothing to get your doors blown off by a soccer mom in a mini-van...usually talking on their Cell Phone...But I don't usually drive fast to begin with...Only get into a hurry on long trips...Driving to Russellville from my house...the difference between 55-60...and 65-75 is about 3-5 minutes and a couple gallons of gas...

It's not just using their cell phones that bothers me, what about the ones that have to put on their make up while driving?  Or texting, just a couple of weeks ago coming home from Fayetteville came up beside a girl in a charger texting and doing about 60, so me doing 75 zoomed on past few minutes later she blows me off the road doing about 90.  As luck would have it catch back up to her again, this time she is all over the road and of course my wife is going nuts because she is doing about 50 this time. We pass here and once again texting.  I don't want to be around this accident about to happen so I think let's put some distance between us so I kick it in till I can't see her in the rear view any longer.  Wasn't long and here she came again doing at least 90 again. Thankfully she exited.  Crazy Woman

Same here.  Power out four days, some on the ridge out for weeks.  We didn't find out Gore had conceded till days after, no power, no news.

I spent a few days in LA that following summer and you could still see the damage.  Looked like the Air Force had went through; those soft-wood pines really took it.

80 people were killed driving last week.  I never wanted to go on a cruise, but the family made me, a few years back.  I enjoyed 7 days of sun on the ocean, buffet bar, swimming pools, outdoor theater, family doing their thing while I did mine, spending the day on different islands, watching the ocean go by outside my room.  Of course the family absolutely loved it.  With that said, I'm more of a fly to a destination and stay in an all inclusive type guy.

80 people were killed driving last week.  I never wanted to go on a cruise, but the family made me, a few years back.  I enjoyed 7 days of sun on the ocean, buffet bar, swimming pools, outdoor theater, family doing their thing while I did mine, spending the day on different islands, watching the ocean go by outside my room.  Of course the family absolutely loved it.  With that said, I'm more of a fly to a destination and stay in an all inclusive type guy.

You can get the "norovirus" aka stomach virus from walking around in Walmart, going to church, etc.

True, but in close quarters such as a ship, it can spread.  Why does it seem to hang around cruise ships anyway. 

I'm sure you have, but have you ever heard of something called C-Diff?  A nurse today was telling me about it; something on the level of MRSA and how it's a big issue in hospitals that the public doesn't know that much about.

It doesn't specifically spread on a cruise ship or originate on it. Someone that has it and gets on the ship or a worker on the ship has it and spreads like wildfire. It's like at a home. One person gets it, it runs through the family like nasty nate wanted to run through kenny on half baked!

C-diff is disgusting. You can walk onto a unit and smell it. The "product" has a distinct odor. It is highly contageous and I always hated taking care of patients who had it. You have to gown and glove for constant contact with them. Patient is usually on contact precautions.

With it being Flu season, you will see those masks everywhere.

When I work in the ER, I wear a mask all night long. Don't care if I am seeing a respiratory infection or Knee scrape. I don't want to bring none of that mess home. Heck I had a Upper respiratory infection and was terrified of the flu. That stuff is doing some damaging stuff to people our age. I could tell people some HORROR stories from what I have seen this year.

Funny thing is, I am pocketing a whole bunch of the masks tonight for the wife and I for the cruise ship for precautions HA

Holy moly.  I saw the wind take the back end of a car and lift it up today.  Didn't move it but picked that sucker straight up for a second and put it down.

I almost couldn't open my door to my car the wind was pushing it so hard.  And evidently a tornado warning went off right as Marion schools let out. 

Glad today is over.   I hate to even say this but I would rather have ice than tornadic activity.  Any day!

Try the Domican Republic, took this trip a few years ago and loved it.  Beaches every day all day and unbelievable water, and great drinks!  Cruises are great and will do another one as well but there is a sense of confinement once you have been to an island on an all inclusive trip.  Can't beat it!!!

Everyone remember what to do?

Open Cabinet Doors under sinks - so room air circulates.
Leave faucets trickling

Switch thermostat to Emergency Heat, during freezing icy conditions.  Switch back to Auto, after everything has thawed out.

Crush Pecan Shells or throw cat litter on steps and sidewalks.

Throw a tarp or something over car windshield.

Try to drive without using brakes.

Put sleeping bags, heavy coats, warm walking shoes in backseat of car.

LOL...I had bread but I needed milk.  Bought dog and cat food.  I'm cooking red beans and rice so I needed rice.  Was in and out in less than 30 minutes.  Went by Kroger but it was packed.  Went to Bill's Fresh Market and some sweet little Boy Scout's were asking for canned goods.  Bought some stuff for them.   

So far it's just cold here.  No ice.   Got 3 movies.  Just watched "Last Vegas".  I enjoyed it because it's about old people.

Must be better than they used to be...cause I wouldn't say looking like an orange is a good thing?

Of course I went to school with some girls that would hit 2, 3 or sometimes 4 tanning bed places a day....cause apparently burning like a lobster was a good thing?

Stupid weather!  Blah!



Hey guys.......I never used to spray tan.  Ever.   I have always gotten a tan from the sun and not those tanning beds because I thought you looked orange like HF posted BUT they have improved the look and smell of spray tans considerably.   I just spray tan until it's hot enough to lay outside(old and crazy :) ) ...however, with all the skin cancer rates that are increasing it's safer to sunless tan....and young girls and guys need to heed the warnings by Dermatology Centers.   Skin Cancer is scary!   A real tan is not worth it.   Plus,  using sun screen cuts down on wrinkles later!

Wore shorts and did some work out in the yard Saturday and went for a nice mile long walk to boot.  It was 80 degrees at 5 pm and 40 degrees by 9pm then it was 32 by 10:30 pm.  We got heavy frezzing rain then sleet so we had 10am start to school today.  Wind chill was in the single degits this morning.

Woke up this morning with at least 3" of ice/sleet and 2" of snow on the ground.  Thank goodness of the snow for traction.  Main roads in Harrison looked clear due to hwy dept working around the clock.  Side roads are a different story.  Depends on temps these next few days to see if what refreezes especially for East/West teams trying to get to the basketball playoffs this week.  Drive careful out there.

In times like these, I go with the old adage, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

That has sig line potential, Ricepig!

As well as the malicious trolls, myself included.

Its so easy to troll hogville. Love it.

Very easy.  Hordes of mindless noobs, plus a number of those who consider themselves the smartest people in the room yet in reality, are dumber than a bag of hammers.

All of which take themselves very, very seriously.  Candy from a baby.

Have any of you ever looked up the Weather History for where you live on Weather.Org?   It's an interesting website.

Also, I couldn't believe that it's not been the coldest winter as opposed to others.   It certainly seems like it should be.  Maybe they will re-adjust their findings when spring begins.

I got the 1/2 price burger myself - it was the single - it was terrible.   :'(  I've had some really good double cheese bacon burgers there, but the little single for $2.07 was definitely not worth it.  Stupid of them to miss an opportunity to attract customers.  I need a CJ's to wash that down!

This weather is do perfect - I spent the morning canoeing around the swamp, watching hundreds of ducks, geese, swans, deer, a beaver I couldn't catch up too.  No mosquitoes, ticks, or snakes.  But yes there is a front coming into Alaska now, will be heading down hear in a week.  That's OK - keep that West Nile Virus down, warm up little at a time.

Went to the Harrison Alumni Boys/Girls Soccer games last Saturday.  The only thing that you had to do to get to play is having played Harrison Soccer from 2002-2013.  Great bunch of former athletes showed up with ages ranging from around 18 to 29.  The players were divided up to Even and Odd teams depending on what year that you graduated in.  Two fantastic fun games not only to the players, but also the fans watching.  Wow, I couldn't believe of the talent of these players still after all these years.  To be honest and talking out of my hat, I don't think that any now high school team from any conference in the State could have beaten the two boy's teams.  Great physical/talented/communication game.
Here is a pic of the former players that could make these games...
(http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h357/Wyld_Dark_Goblin/2014goblinsocceralumnigames_zpsdac40225.jpg)
My son is in the middle back row, under the H and wearing a black long-sleeve shirt.  His team won 2-1.  He had an assist and almost a goal.  Having not played this physical of game in the past few years, he woke up for his 22nd birthday on Sunday and could barely move.  LOL.
Anyway, this thread is about the weather.  Last Saturday it was kind of cool but very sunny.  Man, did I get very sunburned on the right of my face watching these games.  Call me Two-Face. ;D

No seven.... I'm not happy about snakes.   I don't like them!  I was just stating I had seen snakes like TB and HF had seen ticks.

Everyone please be safe with the chance of thunderstorms that is being predicted... Spring always brings tornados sadly.

I think the school that was hit was the new intermediate school.
This school is separate from the main Vilonia campus and was set to house 4th, 5th and 6th graders next year.

I can't tell what is happening in and around the main Vilonia campus as there are a lot of cars and emergency responders moving on 64.

Video from Plantation neighborhood, wherever that is.

I'm a train buff, and when driving down to Little Rock from NWA I like the spot at Palarm Creek (Pulaski/Faulkner border on Rt. 365 between Mayflower and Maumelle) for railfanning...the trains run just above your head at that concrete bridge (which I don't want to stand under as it looks like it needs work) across the trail to the south of the creek.  That spot just south of the border was said to be the closest point in all of America where a highway, a railroad mainline and a major river almost run together...the Union Pacific Coffeyville, KS-NLR main is essentially the west shoulder of 365, with the Arkansas River a 100 feet more or less west of that.  The Plantation subdivision is straight north of there (365 curves to the northeast heading to Conway, and the houses are visible west of there...I think there's a big horse farm right there, too.

When I tuned in and saw where the T was crossing the river and read a Weather Channel announcer say he hadn't seen a radar debris ball like this since last year's killer El Reno tornado, it was sickening to know this pleasant looking subdivision off the River east of the hills was about to get nailed.  :( :(

Among the sad parts of this story - finally this year, some of the last visible clues from the 2011 storm were finally about to be finished.  One church in Vilonia had a very long insurance battle that was finally settled in 2013.  It was the last building on main street that one could tell had suffered damage in the 2011 storm and if the reports are accurate, it was hit again yesterday.

The largest difference in this tornado is the businesses were hit hard - much more so than in 2011.  There is residential damage too (and a lot of it) but the face of the city (the business district) really too a direct hit.

Tough times for these 2 communities and especially for the families that lost loved ones.  Right now we can not say enough prayers for them and we must find a way to help these good people whether it is with a chain saw, food, clothing, water, money or what ever else.  Just help them out.  Let's not forget about them in a week or so either because it will be quite some time before they get back to normal around there if they ever will.  Many prayers to you good people!

Kicked on the heat for a little bit.  I thought that this is suppose to be Spring.  Heck in a few years when I retire, maybe I should move down to Lake Chapala in Mexico.  It is considered the 2nd best place in the World to live in.  75 degrees average year round, due to the altitude, don't need an air conditioner or heat.  Lot of Americans and Canadians retirees living there, heck that is where the pelicans go in our winter.  Cost for American goods might be high, but cost for living is very low to our standards.  The only thing that I have to do is maybe get my broken Spanish language up to par plus teaching the Canadians and Mexicans on how to speak Klingon. LOL.  Though this is a pipe dream, you never know that I might still be posting from Mexico on how the Goblins/Lady Goblins are doing in a few years. ;)

Actually, it has been one of the tamest seasons up until last Sunday.  Historically, the tornado count has been much worse in many years.

Jacketman65, I didn't have anything to do with it - but I do admire it every time I drive by.  I saw they've broke ground across the street from Whattaburger, where Bryant Dorm once stood.  Going to be another glass front sky scrapper, like the one beside it.  All those trees, they plant, are donated..

Quite a mouthful for sure...lol.    Food was awesome and the outdoor fireplace had a roaring fire in it.

He did a great job with all the waterfalls and the outdoor area.  And the Lodge was nice too.   

The wedding party spent the night before the wedding there.  My daughter said each meal was perfect!  She decided after all that food she is going on a diet...lol.  Of course she is tiny but as most women think she's fat.  She's not!

The wedding ceremony was beautiful being outside and at least there was no humidity as we know would have been miserable at a wedding!

But at a lake it's no problem for me.  :)

That's great, Jay and Judy know how to do it right, I always wondered where he was going to land, great cook(chef). I've got a farm south of there about 1 1/2mile, when he was building it, I thought he had lost his mind, mosquitoes you know??  I knew he would do ok for hunting, but wasn't sure people would drive there for the "other".

Wind gusts from 70-84 mph here in Jonesboro, lots and lots of trees down and roofs off. There has been one fatality reported when a tree fell on a house and killed a retired police officer.

Looks like about three messed up planes at the airport with one Cessna flipped upside down. Electricity is out in about 50% of town.

So I was sitting in my office waiting on a patient and I hear a door slam.  I got up because that never usually happens.  A co worker came through the door and said look outside.  HOLY MOLY!!   Greenish black and raining like no tomorow.  Wind unreal. She said the outside doors were being sucked open.  She held them shut but she said she could feel the wind pulling on them.   

We had a window busted out on the 3rd floor. hearded all the patients down to the first floor.  My office is underground on the first floor.  So for about 15 to 20 minutes the storm was going strong.  Electricity went off and it's like a cave down there.  Had a flashlight and the employees gathered chairs for the patients to sit in until it was over. 

Outside all I could hear were firetruck and ambulance sirens.  Scary!   

Heading home no traffic lights so it was back to the old four way stop system.  Trees down and debris everywhere.  Traffic was horrible.  I didn't see it before I drove over it but I drove over a power line. 

Got home and thank goodness only my fence was blown down.  Got out there and got it back up.

Then by 5 the sun was out shining.  Crazy!!  So far heard 2 people lost their lives.  Prayers for their families.

Had no idea what was about to happen.   I don't think the weather guys did either.

Not sure how they missed that one but they did. 

Yep RR.  In Otwell it blew train cars off the tracks and onto the road!

Yeah, the ran the tornado sirens although we were never under a Tornado warning. The deal was that usually you might see a guest of 70+mph for a minute or two, but the wind blew hard for at least 15 minutes, the tree, power lines, and big trucks could stand that. There are some pictures of a 4 wheeler that was put through the second story on a house.

Wife has these trees around the yard - she loves, I hate.  Like purple ones, planted in flower bed, that are now taller than the house.  Some big ones in the yard that look bad, but bloom, cherry something.  Anyhow - they've been suddenly going down (when she's not home) one by one during these storms.  She's started questioning - why it's all the ones we disagree on.  I'm changing tactics from chainsaw to truck & rope.  This last one might be small enough to break off if I don't get the tractor stuck in yard.

Thunderstorms are relaxing.  Been listening to the rumble of thunder since, 0300. Under Flash flood warnings.  Went to the woods yesterday - the wildlife habitat is awesome this year.  Nice to have water.  Saw a buck with heavy growth antlers.

We have all seen videos of rolling storm clouds that look ominous.  But have you ever seen dark storm clouds that look like they are in a still painting?  For instance this morning, it really poured down here around 10 am when I went to work, but when I went on break at 1:30 pm, these huge black and white clouds over Harrison post office seemed to be frozen like a picture or painting.  I mean that they didn't move or roll or anything at all for the 5 minutes that I watched them.  It was weird.  First time that I have ever seen clouds not moving, I had to check my watch to make sure it was working and that we weren't in a Time Loop.  LOL.

BTW, I saw one of my neighbors mowing grass in the rain yesterday.  Kudos for him.  If it ever stops raining and I get another chance to cut my grass, then people that thought that I had a nice porch, will see that it is in fact my second story balcony. ;D

Didn't lose.  Tied.  This sport is a little different than other sports on wins/loss/ties.  Team USA still can go into the final 16 with a USA/Germany win/tie.  A loss and we still have a chance depending on what Ghana/Portugal does.  Kind of reminds me of the 5A West. ;)  That is why they call it the "Grupo de Muerte" (Group of Death).

Anyway, still raining off and on.  No bugs yet.

The only thing different in Soccer ties and Football ties is that you get 3 pts for a win, 1 pt for a tie and 0 for a loss in Soccer (This is like 32 teams in conference play in football but with a points system and having 8 conferences).  So you don't usually have to go to tiebreaker rules to see who goes to the elimination round of 16.  But the US Men's Team played in the Group of Death (4 great teams in one conference) and the points system came into play for each game and got real close to tiebreaker rules on who was going on.  The point system has been a topic on the soccer forum for high school.  Currently in high school soccer conference, we play for a win.  If their is a tie after regulation, then we go straight into PKs instead of going into OT play due to the mileage that teams have to drive.  Most of us think that conference should use the points system like the rest of the World does to make the games a little shorter by ending regulation play if there were a tie.  Then go into the playoffs with regulation/OT/PK play like they are doing now in the World Cup's elimination rounds.

Also remember that in World soccer, they play for 90+ minutes in two 45+ minutes halves with no timeouts called by the coaches.  Just stoppage of play by the refs but the clock still runs and adds extra minutes to each half and OT play.  High school does the same thing, but with 80+ minutes (two 40+ minutes halves).  This is just one reason that I watch these great athletes from Arkansas in this sport.  Stamina.  Think of it as a basketball game on a larger than football field for two halves of 40+ minutes with no timeouts by the coach.  So if a boys/girls teams makes Conference Champs/playoffs/semis/final game, then I am impressed.  I have seen some teams that didn't accomplish what I just said, but I have been equally impressed of them on their great strive to do this.

Anyway, today was beautiful weather.

I have a floating pool if you can believe that. First time in 23 years. Keep the water from going over the liner by draining around 9 inches to waste but the under ground water got me. Not complaining just saying it was a ton of rain.


I have seen pools in River Trace do that.  Sounds like it's time to move.

As long as I have been living in Eastern Arkansas (20 something years now) they have been working on the interstates.   Now they have shut down the new bridge (that's what we still call it even though it's not new) to take down barrels or something stupid like that. 

When will it end? 

The skeeters are carrying us off over here too. 

That is the only thing I don't like about summer.  Other than that, it's been a lovely day.

The skeeters are as big as condors over here.

And it's raining again.  And it's going to be too cool to jump in the lake this 4th of July.   

I think I will grill hot dogs, eat apple pie and watch some baseball.

For baiting? Sure, for crop production, nah. One would normally plant it in March/April for harvest as there are some bugs(midge) that work on late milo.

Not really, they'll grow, but not as well. Go venture around someone's field that has woods around it, or part of it, the areas that get a lot of shade will be stunted/shorter.

Is that because of the stunted plants or the fact that they are located next to cover? I just went out and finished plowing - had to speed up through low wet spots.  I have Milo seed - could plant that.

Mostly because of cover, there isn't any deer gun hunting in the 3000ac that are on this side of the river. I suspect they like the smaller plants, as compared to the waist high ones, all I know is I could always tell on the yield monitors where they were eating and where the afternoon Sun was blocked out.

No, not totally, we have some fields that are .003 grade, haha. Flat gumbo that God put here to hold the earth together, so that's what it's suited for. If I had ice cream dirt, I'd farm it differently.

Seen some tough ground in my day, but whow .003 natural slope, didn't know that it existed in the farming world.  Buckshot?  Good luck with it, but I'm sure you are on top of it - not everyone can do what you do!

Yeah, it wasn't worth much in the cotton heyday, my grandfather picked up lots of it. We have/had cotton ground, but it went to others in the family. Not every acre was that flat, but when I got out of college and started leveling it, most of it wanted to be flat, or with very little slope. We had fields we tried to put slope in for drainage, but in the end, it was easier to zero grade and dig ditches around them for drainage.

We are good on the skeeters up here, very few to none at all.  Maybe some more of you folks should try these hills!  Ticks do present a problem though.  I guess it is either West Nile or Spotted Tick Fever - take your pick.

Heard today that Goblins/Lady Goblins soccer teams started practice already for next season.  Nice.  Other teams, Boys wise, you need to get prepared.  Girls wise, if you are not a private school, maybe them also, you need to get prepared also. ;D  New cycle.

Weather today was nice.  Should have done some yard work, but stayed in house and watched the World Cup semis and video gamed.  Tomorrow, depends. ;)

Ticks are a biochot.  Then there are chiggers.

How long does it take for it to dry out in the spring in order for you to get your second rice crop planted?

Truthfully, if it's a good level job and you have plenty of ditches in it and around the fields, not that much different. I actually retired a few years ago, but my renter still does it the way I did and has tracks on the combines, grain buggies, and tractors, so there aren't any ruts. We've had fields that haven't been worked in 15 years, we just burn it in the fall/spring and plant it. In the years when it's really wet, we will run a stubble roller/groover and water seed pre-sprouted seed. In a bad/wet spring we might have water seed 25% of it.

All these new rice fields, in the River Valley, have rice standing tall RP.  Just looks so different.  Equipment is sitting idol though - don't think they'll get to grade any new ones this summer.

So I've been out in the water - lots of Wood Ducks.  We had a blind blow over a couple weeks ago - when we stood it back up, there were crawdads all over it.  So 2 days ago we put out baskets - today the bait was gone, one basket had a few crawdad.  So I reckon they need to be checked within a day?  I'll have to learn what to do next.  Throw em in boiling water, screaming, like my wife does lobster?

We can grow 60bu beans and 210bu corn in gumbo

Not if it has a natural slope of .003, you can't get the water off. And I've been all over Arkansas county hunting, you don't have soil like this that is this flat.
Well you missed it somehow. Heck about a mile east of Stuttgart Wit Stephens has a couple thousand acres of it along with Slick Mccullom and Barry Switzer (actually kaye owns it I think). Then you can find it on both sides of big and little bayou meto, big and little lagrue, and mill bayou or every field surrounding the bayou meto wildlife area. Most of the farming ground on Big Island. It's everywhere here man

it's there man I promise you both of course. one field can be gumbo and right beside it buckshot. It's crazy how the soil changes here, but that's one of the reason our variable rate technology has been a huge success. One field can go from Silt loam to sand, and be gumbo or buckshot at the bottom with each type requiring significant changes in fertilizer rates.

Yeah, but those fields rarely, if ever, have .003 slopes or flat. Most of those around here have slopes that are .3. And I agree with the use of VRT, it made a big difference in fertility and yields. I was one of the first to implement it with yield mapping, very beneficial.

actually a huge number of those fields have been leveled or were significantly flat anyway. Just depends on who's farm you were on. If it was with Jerry he hunts on the Hampton estate and they have 600 acres of it right in between those reservoirs he hunts. Now his clubhouse sits on one of those ridges you referred to earlier with hillsides like Japan.

it's there man I promise you both of course. one field can be gumbo and right beside it buckshot. It's crazy how the soil changes here, but that's one of the reason our variable rate technology has been a huge success. One field can go from Silt loam to sand, and be gumbo or buckshot at the bottom with each type requiring significant changes in fertilizer rates.

Yeah, but those fields rarely, if ever, have .003 slopes or flat. Most of those around here have slopes that are .3. And I agree with the use of VRT, it made a big difference in fertility and yields. I was one of the first to implement it with yield mapping, very beneficial.
actually a huge number of those fields have been leveled or were significantly flat anyway. Just depends on who's farm you were on. If it was with Jerry he hunts on the Hampton estate and they have 600 acres of it right in between those reservoirs he hunts. Now his clubhouse sits on one of those ridges you referred to earlier with hillsides like Japan.

And they grow 210bu corn on these zero grade fields?
Hampton doesn't grow corn but Hoskyn does and yes, he has made 210 on it. He's a gambler but lady luck is on his side

Tommy? Well, we can't even get ours to bed, haha. I'd hate to think I'd have to trust my money on luck. Truthfully, to a degree, I don't care what they plant, I'm cash rent on my own farm.
His son. There are some like that, bed it early and let it get a couple rains on it to harden up then plant. Not the best conditions but it can work if mother nature plays along. I've seen some crazy things work out for these guys lately when at first I thought they're nuts for trying that. Tommy has probably leveled the most crap ground around here and made a living farming it. He has joined you in the retired ranks now.

We can grow 60bu beans and 210bu corn in gumbo

Not if it has a natural slope of .003, you can't get the water off. And I've been all over Arkansas county hunting, you don't have soil like this that is this flat.
Well you missed it somehow. Heck about a mile east of Stuttgart Wit Stephens has a couple thousand acres of it along with Slick Mccullom and Barry Switzer (actually kaye owns it I think). Then you can find it on both sides of big and little bayou meto, big and little lagrue, and mill bayou or every field surrounding the bayou meto wildlife area.

Most of my experiments like that backfired. If we watered the beans, we'd get a toad strangler about the time it'd dry up to get some oxygen. Some of my friends always laughed that I'd bankrupt a levee plow salesman, I hate em.

Hail didn't last long - marble size.  Real Hard Rain - 60 mph wind heading east from Dover.  I had just put the first support beam up for my Master Tree House / Deer Blind, when I heard it coming.

Daughter Baby Sat for the neighbors who did that a few years back.  They were supposed to be back at dark.  At 2am we called the Troopers - eventually found her in the Harrison Hospital and him in the Springdale Hospital.  Deer jumped across the road, this side of Jasper.

We didn't really know them before - ended up with 4 additional kids in my house for a week.  I know the mom was worried about her kids.  Anyhow the guy lost a lot of hide - but yes they ended up ok.  There is more to the story - the kids raced motocross. Couple dirt bikes each. Race track in front yard.  They moved, but I heard the kids had a couple more bone breaking wrecks, before mom banned all bikes completely.

Spectacular weekend on the bikes. It was a scorcher today, though.

Though, I think I have been watching too much Isle of Man footage lately. Tight turns through the mountains pushing 100mph aren't as easy as they look on tv. They sure are fun, though.

It will be the longest, dreariest, sucky, winter ever if the sunshine and warm temps don't return.  :'(


Rain......more rain.  Just.  Rain.
You should try duck hunting in the winter. It keeps your mind off the cold if youre killing any.

i like the cool weather but it causes me to worry about winter

Don't worry - it's going to be the best duck season ever! 

One problem....I don't duck hunt...Heck I don't hunt very much of anything...Like to fish more than I like to freeze waiting on Bambi, Ducky, or anything else to walk/fly out...lol

Are you kidding?    Most of those guys plant feed plots and sit in their cozy little tents, cabins etc....they aren't wadding out or braving the elements for more than a hour!  :)

Still fun though, but I want my summer.

A lot of people blame the "weird" crazy weather that we have been having over the years to Global Warming.  Yes, this can be true.  Conspiracy people think that it is because the US is trying to find a way to control the weather with H.A.A.R.P as in this link...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_Program

What ever the reason, I still like the cool weather that we have had in July.  I probably will complain of the weather this winter.

IAW, what happened to the four equal seasons that I remember as a kid in Arkansas?

Maybe, instead of gearing up for the Zombie Apocalypse, that I should start to get my Mammoth hunting gear together.  LOL.

The way I understand it - summers have been a lot hotter, over the last few decades, than when you were a kid.  I got that from my buddy, an Air Condition Man, who told me that the industry has had to adapt to it. Global Warming / Cooling has been going on since the beginning of time - kinda glad, I think duck hunting would be hard with Dinasaurs face bombing everyone's Go Pro's - question is, are WE having an effect on the Global Climate or not?

This sure has been an easy year with the pool.  Haven't added any water - wife has put a couple chlorine tabs in the traps (I usually pour a little true value bleach in it, but she's gotten fancy) - We've added a few lbs of Baking Soda (PH), again because she brought it home instead of Borax.  Secret to a clean pool is that PH - people who buy a lot of chemicals don't understand this.

Love it - 90% finished on master tree house deck.  Just went out in hard wind & rain to see how it's holding up with the trees blowing.  Yesterday, while working on it, those two fawns were feeding all around with no concern.  Pool level topping off. 

Ricepig, is there still time to get soybeans up?

You bet, they'll come up behind the combine in November, haha.

If you let the ducks get closer to the water it's easier, you don't have to climb a tree.....

Looks like Valley is saying if you can't call them in he will go up and join them.

Or he is going to use a 30 ot 6 on the ones sitting on the water 200 yards away.

Should get some good pictures from up there though.

Back to the subject of pools for a moment, I stopped using Baquacil and switched to bleach and my pool has never looked better.  Best of all, I have cut my chemical bill significantly.

Read this page (http://www.troublefreepool.com/) for more info and this page (http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/) has info on how to get started if you are interested. 

You will save money and your pool will look better if you follow the recommendations on the page.

Buy your Pool Chemicals at the Grocery Store

Added editorial comment: Trouble Free Pools is not a retail site but rather an educational and advice forum on how to maintain your pool using common chemicals.  Both TFP and the link provided by Valley are worth considering if you are a pool owner and want to break free of the hold some pool stores have on their customers.

Farmers almanac or old wive's tale.  I believe that of 6 August, we have had 5 mild fogs, so hopefully we will have at least 5 mild snowfalls in the Goblin Nation this winter.  But August is still not over yet.

I tell you right now......It's a curse!   You mentioned Fog and that is all I have had!  Forget about the Goblin's going to get you.....the Fog you have sent won't leave!  LOL!  :)

Rained some in the Goblin Nation.  Cooled the heat down a little.  Got off work and walked in my house and thought that the A/C was on the fritz.  Cooler outside than inside.  A/C good, but had it above the outside temp.  Thank goodness.  Winter will be starting soon.  DH, I hope that the almanac/old wive's tales are wrong. ;)

No - I hope not!  Unfortunately they have made it to Danville - Petit Jean River Bottom.  In 1981, I shot the first Feral Hog in East Texas (at the time we couldn't find anyone who'd ever heard of any) now the place is over run with them.  They have em up 124, towards Clinton, as well.

Noticed that it is getting darker earlier.  The auto dock lights at the Goblin post office didn't kick on with the dimness as the light faded.  Must be on a timer instead, will check that out.
Anyway, was off last week on a paid "Staycation".  Beautiful weather, didn't do nothing but enjoyed the weather outside and then went inside to join up with my worldwide Goblin video clan and kick rump.  Good 9 days off, didn't have to spend money, enjoyed the camaraderie with my worldwide G0BS brothers and sisters anytime/any night, got to go to two Goblin Stadium games and even got some stuff done at the house.  Good vacation.

Wash them Acorns right into my duck holes.  Water levels are about right - just need a little here and there until Nov 22nd...  I have tarps under every Oak Tree, in my neighborhood, catching Acorns for the deer feeders.  I'm harvesting Doe's, for management, anyway.

I ate at the Cliff House (steak is exceptional) last night - next week might be peak on fall colors.  Supposed to have a cold snap later in the week.  Been stacking deer and firewood - fall is by far the best time of the year in Arkansas.

If you drive slowly, it's no bigger risk. That's the problem with folks in 4x4's. They think they can drive faster because of 4 wheel drive but it's the stopping that gets them. If you think about it all cars have 4x4 brakes.....

Yes I was too, originally - last year we were slaying the Mallards when y'all were struggling.  Right now we're loaded with Mallards, just need a little shooting to disperse them.  Well I've got decoys strung out - loading SxS - making my list, counting it twice - Woo Hoo it's Opener Eve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    ;D

You mean you don't like the Black Friday sales, where folks are encourage to run down the older folks that can't move out of the way, that may or may not actually be there for Black Friday Shopping?

I went to one Black Friday sale a few years ago...Wal Mart was scheduled to start cutting the shrink wrap off of their "big" sales at 7:00, I got there at 6:30 and someone was already being wheeled out on a stretcher....Just feel like some folks are missing the point of the holiday when they are willing to trample others....

Some are missing the point...IMO.  Some get to caught up in who has what or I have to have this to keep up with this person etc.   It's sad.  I have never put my tree up this early until now....but it's been kind of a hard year....and my son begged to help decorate it...so, I caved but that is the only thing decorated for Christmas.   I still have out all my Thanksgiving decorations every where else...and my son said....why does everyone go for Black Friday deals and miss visiting with their family....he said....Black Friday isn't the best deal....the best deal is Jesus being born.  I'm glad he gets that part.   I understand however,  if some have to make their money go further to be able to provide Christmas for their children.   But it's almost always cheaper after Christmas now.   

I hope the sun is back out tomorrow!    :)

Was listening to a radio show the other day that was going through the black Friday sales that had been advertised thus far(Don't remember the stores), but some of the stuff had a lot better sale before black Friday. Or was actually marked up for Black Friday. Because as long as they don't advertise it as being a cheaper price then they can do as they wish....

Next summer you should go down to Durango - has to be the most active place in America (kayak, canoe, road bikes, mtn bikes, rock climbing - all right in town - skiing (the old Purgatory Ski Resort) coal train, zip line, all that going up to Silverton.  I like Glenwood Springs and Aspen area as well.  Floating the Colo River - climbing up to Hanging Lake.

Thats funny you say that. My best friend from high school lives in Durango working for the U.S. Forestry Service so I will be out there occasionally. Tells me he lives the dream cause he works 14 days on and 9 or 11 off. Just constantly outside all the time. I think after a while I am going to bike the whole Colorado Trail from Durango to Denver.... As far as weather what I hate is the high elevation and humidity being so low the temps rise or fall so quickly.

In the beginning God picked Arkansas to be the Duck Capital of the World (Stuttgart as MPW Location).  An entire industry and a big part of our economy depend on cold wet weather pushing the Mississippi Fly Away.  Only in recent years has Arkansas began to produce Yuppie's, from the W & NW parts of the state, who complain about His Work. 

An Arkansas Prayer:
Thank you Lord for putting Deer, Crappie, and Water Fowl on our tables so that we may eat - and thank you for keeping the snakes, mosquitoes, ticks, & chiggers, in balance.  Thank you for making it cold so our water tables can replenish and we won't run out of drinking water like those Liberal Californians who deserve what they get.  Thank you for bringing the ducks back again, as you have for so many centuries, blessing Arkansas Natives who depend on the migrations for their livelihood. And if you have the time, please lead me to a Canvasback wearing jewelry.  Amen!

I want to take a second and wish everyone in the State to have a Happy Holiday.  For those that don't personally know me, here it is in a nutshell.  I grew up in Mtn Home (Class of '75}.  I have lived in Harrison for many years and is a Goblin and any Arkansas high school sport's fan for for any sport.  I have now 30 years of Federal service and work at the Harrison post office for the last 26 years.  I am thinking about retirement (Wow, I didn't ever think that would have ever been possible  8)  ).  I'm about to turn 58 years old. :o

But one thing that this old guy still does on some of his free time is play video games.  Currently on the PS4.  I started a Worldwide video gaming community many years ago for any format of gaming on the internet media.  I also include local sports events, so that my [G0BS] Worldwide brothers and sisters know what the Goblins/Lady Goblins are doing in sports.

Anyway, I always post a Season Greetings to our video clan and other video clans each year.  It usually has something to do with our current favorite game at this time.  I posted this on the fearlessfriday video gaming forum, but if you didn't see it, I will share it here.  Happy Holidays to all you fearlessfriday posters!

Happy Holidays to all too. My job is going to keep me away from Arkansas for the first time ever on Christmas but in return family is coming here next month and March. I am lucky to have a job that feeds me, gives me a home, and supports my hobbies of travel and outdoor activities  so no complaints here... again Happy Holidays as well.

Honestly, weather in the upper 50's is better than 20's it's been warmer this year according to the ncdc.noaaweather.gov     we all can't run on the beautiful beaches like beach bum.....that would be awesome:)

The low Wednesday here in Colorado Springs the morning of the 31st is set for -8°... Its the 2nd blast of frigid air since November. That following night it will be about 10° in Denver where I am headed for New Years. Hopefully layers, fireworks, and a mass of people's body heat crunched together in the streets keeps it warm.

Seeing how it's about to get cold - I went out to put the SxS in the garage.  The roll bar clears the door by about 3 inches.  So I run it up into the garage, but to my horror I catch about 1 ft of door, with the roll bar, ramming it 3 feet back into the garage.  I just don't do things like that - I'm a very careful person.  This is the kind of thing my wife does.  About that time my wife walks up with the remote in her hand - ooops - wrong door!  ::)  I came in the house to make Lemon Juice...

Don't need to do all that, Valley. Grab some 2,000 grit wet paper and sand it. It'll cut slow enough to remove the overspray, without cutting the clear. Then, buff it, will be good as new.

Could be useful.  I have had a chill up my backside even with the gas on.  Thinking about using this guy's different heating options for close room comfort (I have no fireplace).  Clay pot heater maybe, but I like the 70% rubbing alcohol with toilet paper in a can with a computer fan and a 9 volt battery.

Where did I say I was getting dry air sinus infections?  Forced air is as dry as it gets (heated through a burner) - it does circulate everything from dust mites to mold.  And if you have pets - you don't even want to know.  How often do you clean out your duct work or disinfect it?  Have you ever been in a house with infloor radiant heat?  No blowing, no dust, no dry air, no heat loss from duct running all through your attic.   It is simply a radiator (basically water hose) circulating hot water though your slab, so that your floor is warm.  It is layed out in zones, so you circulate to whichever zones (rooms) you prefer, including the bathtub, garage, or front side walk to melt ice & snow.  For health reasons, the South needs to catch up about 15-20 years.

Most of the stuff you mentioned would get circulated in the house anyway..Saying it's already there. The EPA lists 0 health risks from the air ducts, air is forced through them all day long anyway..They do suggest it for efficiency reasons. The Dried out sinuses? Open your front door for an hour or so a day...Mine usually gets left open by my wife and kids. Guess that's why I've never noticed it being a problem.

I did check out the infloor radiant heating...sounds like a good thing to have. Supposed to be cheaper and more efficient way of Heating the house. But I don't have the approximately $6000 in spare money just laying around to put it in my house. So I'll just keep changing my Central heat and air filters and take my chances...

Firmly in the 60's today here in Colorado.... And the only day it has snowed the last 3 weeks I was out of town. I spent the day earlier climbing the Manitou Incline.... Definitely should not have worn black on a cloudless day. The Incline leads to some crazy views... Here are a few pictures I took earlier today.

That is absolutely what I hated about driving in Arkansas. The snow here is super easy to drive in and my car is not exactly built for winter driving either. Arkansas is in a transitionary area as far as winter weather. I cant remember that exact year in the early 2000s when that ice storm as a kid would have put us out of school forever if it would not have happened over Christmas Break. Also, glad we had a fireplace when the power was out that long.

Nothing like a good fire to put anybody in a good mood... also nothing like a jog in the snow to give the core a little bit more of a workout than a normal run.

It rained hard through Pope County 0 hundred hours.  As a kid I loved the sound of rain coming down while I slept.  I still do, however my mind does go down a list - then adjust to other concerns throughout the night. 

First it's about things getting wet.  What did I leave out?  Are the windows up? What's in the truck bed?  On the trailer?
Then it changes to how much has come down.  Wonder how high the creek has risen?  Should take a few hours.  Wonder if I should get the horses on this side of the creek?  Hope the gutters on the house aren't stopped up.  Duck Blinds are definitely under water now.  I should have tied the floating blind, I moved last Sat, down better.  Surely it'll hang up in the Buck Brush.  Well now the wind is blowing hard - wow hard enough to take shingles off, etc, etc   :D

Watching the Weather Channel's coverage of the tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas at the moment.

They broke the coverage to talk about tomorrow. The entire state of Arkansas is at a 4 on the TORCON scale.

Fantastic...  :-\

Must be a good spring for Crappie...Seen a picture of a supposed 5 lb crappie caught out of Lake Atkins last week...

Anyway...mark it down to rain in the next couple of days. Finally got my grass mowed today...

Waiting on my yard. Got a truck load of mulch laid on the flower gardens two weeks ago. I weed and fed about a month ago. Weeds are about dead and after this next week or two, I'll get my new mower out to try it out.

Got our house on the market as well!

I am getting that overnight and in the morning in Colorado. I was comfortably in shorts and a t shirt this afternoon when I went to a friends. After watching the Pelicans beat the Spurs the cold front is here when I finally walked outside again. The wind is howling and its 30 degrees cooler. Hopefully its the last snow. There may be one more.

I have never witnessed a hail storm like this before. Ice and slush is caked 6-8 inches deep in some spots in Colorado Springs. I-25 is shut down while the plow crews are out. I see them going up and down the hill I live on. I don't think I will be leaving the house being I have a walking boot on my left foot still. Even snow only closed I-25 this winter once here.

The pictures people back home are putting on facebook are crazy. You guys stay safe. I am traveling back Friday to visit and I was hoping the rain would stop by then but nope. Everywhere along the way has at least a 60% chance of storms. I haven't seen 60 degrees in almost 3 weeks it feels like. 80 degrees plus and the humidity from all the rain I am going to be dying in Arkansas.

Colorado Springs.... I went to Clearwater Beach for 4 days last week though. Somehow rain didn't ruin one single day down there. I never thought I would but I loved all the snow last winter. This time last year I was sweating up Bona Dea. You should have some good rides all week. No rain until the weekend in Arkansas when I checked the weather earlier.

Glenwood Springs is a real treat. I-70 though Glenwood Canyon is amazing. All the high passes are finally clearing of all its snow completely. Its a good time of year in Arkansas to hit Hwy 7 on the motorcycle. For some reason, Hwy 21 to Hwy 16 is my favorite just because people use 21 way less than 71, 23, and 7. It almost feels like the world is untouched out there.

To be honest... after living in quite a bit of places now Russellville and its surrounding communities all the way up to Hector and down to Ola have high quality drinking water. Its better than Ft Smith and NW Arkansas. Colorado has great water. Florida's drinking water is hands down the worst. Everyone knew it too when I was there.

I was just a fan. It was like watching a train wreck for us. You knew what was going to happen and nothing you could do to stop it.... 5 to 7 yards every play on the ground.

I'm still here.  The Pilot is a good friend of mine and everyone else around here.  He's been an instructor, commercial pilot, all that stuff for a long time.  He was taking the children, of another friend of ours, to his brothers (children's uncle) funeral.  Now we have funerals everywhere....  :(

I have always had a deep respect for pilots, truck drivers, train conductors, captains on a ship, etc..... It's honestly amazing to think they are the arteries and veins of the mass production society we live. I have the utmost respect of anyone who is involved in any of those. They make our life so easy in this country.

I'll always be the guy to pee off folks in traffic letting trucks over etc....my dad drove coast to coast for ten years then drove regionally for another 25 before passing away last summer..he always told me i could be anything i wanted to be,  except a truck driver. Always said it wasn't worth the being away from home and all the other trouble

The worst is... Is that all or what else did I get. When I was younger we were poor and I got one gift and that was it. One year i decided to peak and my dad made me open it then. On Christmas I had no gifts to open . To this day I dont want to know anything I get because I learned at a very young age that you appreciate everything you get.

Not hard to understand. They could have sold 100. But that's $99. It's  Christmas, they'll still sell them at $299, or $399, or whatever they cost.

They offer deals like that to get people in the door. Nobody just buys one thing.

I've never understood video gaming. Go outside and do something. I did buy a PS3 when they came out. It'seems never had a game on it. Only ever used for Blue-Ray and Netflix.

Thirty two years ago today, the Red River in Shreveport froze from bank to bank.

"A record cold spell during the month of December in 1983 caused the Red River to freeze on December 16th as shown.  The Shreveport National Weather Service says that Shreveport stayed below freezing for a week from December 20th through the 26th.  The lowest temperature was 6 above zero on Christmas day.

Also, a whopping 5.4 inches of snow fell on the 16th!"

The Illinois at the cabin yesterday North of Hector.

There is usually a bit of water, knee deep running straight down the tree line to the very left of the picture about 20' wide, with a big, tall rock bank where the trees are to the right of the treeline.
Water has to be about 25' deep to cover the rock bank entirely. Only seen it that high a hand full of times. It has entirely flooded my road down from the cabin to the creek, and the field down at the bottom of the hill.

I had heard a little rain was hitting NWA but definitely heard that the River Valley and south Arkansas were going to get soaked badly. I hope everyone stays safe and away from bodies of water down there.

Been there done that - long before you were born. We canoed all over campus during the big flood.  Jumped out the windows Brown Hall. The pumping station Bona Dea was installed to fix that.  This ain't no biggy yet.

Just heard an interview with a weather official on a Ruston, LA radio station.  Since the event began, the Monroe, LA airport has recorded 17.5 inches of rain and anticipates another 3 - 4 inches of rain before the system completely moves out.  I'd guess some areas around Shreveport have already passed the 20-inch rain total.

That's the strange thing.  The Red River in Shreveport is not projected to crest above flood stage.    CLICK HERE (http://rivergages.mvr.usace.army.mil/WaterControl/shefgraph-forecast2.cfm?sid=CE41DB4E&fid=SVPL1&d=7&dt=S)

I guess having a river near you doesn't make much difference when the area records 10+ inches of rain in a 24-hour period.  :o

The last time I drove Hwy 65 a terrible storm came rolling through right as I crossed the border just south of Eudora. That was terrifying because in the delta you see the storm rolling at you and there is no where to duck and cover. You just have to slowly plug along down the road.

Yeah water is a problem in some of our natural holes.  I have a few places in the back of sloughs (holding water behind beaver dams), several other holes with pumps on them, that have been producing.  Last Saturday they came piling in with the front, hitting mostly agriculture type fields here in the River Valley. Windrock Farm / Slough just south of the river (Morrillton), was stacked up with Gadwall & Mallards.  As of yesterday & today I've watched them, finally, start moving up into the Cypress Sloughs and spreading out. From buck brush & duck weed to roosting in rice fields. Tomorrow and Saturday should be good hunts.  Sunday & Monday should push them back out to rivers and open water, until temp comes up.

Knocked the Gadwalls down this morning - Cyprus Slough.  Should be going to roost early this evening.  Wind SW, bringing rain, this evening.  You know I was reading the Waterfowl Hunting Reg's.. Report for 2015 showed decreasing population in the Delta, increases over here in the River Valley.  I think it was mostly due to weather and flooding last year.

The sleet is falling hard right now in NWA. Those roads are going to get dangerous.

There have been some insane pictures from that part and a little north from some folks I know in West Plains..... Nature can be so cruel. I just hope there aren't anymore fatalities because those rivers are still going to be something else for a while.

Anyone seen the crazy temperatures that the southwest is about to see? Phoenix is about to hit 121 Tuesday, plus Monday and Wednesday at 119..... I know 110 is pretty common in the summer for them, but 120 is a whole different animal. No matter how dry it is 120 is completely unbearable.

Not shabby at all for the River Valley in August. I know you remember and know how bad it can be from the July in the River Valley of 2010 I think the year was if I remember right? I was living in Ft Smith that summer it got 100 everyday in July. I might be off a year but I know that was around 2010 I think.

I like winter time, but not when its getting this cold. This will make you want to be on the beach in Florida in June real quick....

Yes, definitely. I always worry about the River Valley and central AR people when I see that. The bad stuff always gets funneled between the Ozarks and Ouachitas or pops them out into central AR just east of the mountains.
