Greetings to all,

It's a beautiful bright sunny day across Central Texas this morning

Our forecasted temps for today are 44-72dgrs with 49% humidity with a NE wind @ 13mphs. There's no rain in the upcoming 10day forecast but we know how that changes.

Not much happening here today. I fixed breakfast this morning; bacon, fried eggs with toast and glass of orange juice

I got Dwayne's TV set up in his room for him. I bought a Roku stick and he's up and running now. The wife and I are heading to the movies here shortly. She been wanting to see Ordinary Angels. We'll be having lunch there at the theater.

After the movie we'll stop by and check the mail and then it's home for rest and relaxation

Top; Congrats on the catch there. That's a really nice looking bass there.

Hope everyone has a really pleasant day today and a relaxing evening ahead.

Quote from: topdsm0138 on February 22, 2024, 03:20:00 PMWasn't a bad afternoon on the boat. This was the biggest of the day. Water was 69°, overcast skies and air temps were 71°. Caught him in about 12' of water on a classic 7.5" Culprit worm in junebug on a 3/0 hook with 1/16oz bullet and 8lb test mono.

Nice catch!

Thanks.

Good morning everyone. Was going to hit a local electric use only lake tomorrow, but my son wants to go to the big Fuel Fest Car Show at the Fairgrounds tomorrow. No biggie, I got my casts in yesterday. Not even worried as my last major Army Duty is coming up real quick, then weekends are all mine.

Have a great day and tight lines to those who are on the water (and banks..)

The project is almost complete. Been a great experience. Really fun but also a real pain in the posterior regions.

Good morning to all,

Another beautiful day across Central Texas this morning

Blue Bird skies with forecasted temps of 54-79dgrs with 48%humidity with a West wind @ 4mphs.

Not really much happening here today. I have some errands to take care of here shortly. A trip to the post office, bank and Walmart then back home. We're planning on grilling some burgers and dogs later on this afternoon. Other than this it's full mode relaxation

I hope everyone has a safe a pleasant Saturday. Tight lines for those out on the water.

Afternoon everyone. Hope y'all's day was a good as mine. Saw a black SUV with a flat tire on the interstate earlier. So my son and I pulled over to help them. Turned out to be the Police escorting Guy Fieri to the big car show here in Palm Beach. Long story short, we changed his tire so they let us in for free and gave us VIP passes, along with a bottle of signed Tequila and cigars. (I don't smoke, but will give them to my boss.)

Good morning to all,
We have Blue Bird skies covering down across Central Texas this morning

Our forecasted temps for today are 59-84dgrs with 61% humidity with a SE wind @ 17mphs.

Went to church this morning. Stopped by the 7-11 gas station on the way home and picked up a sausage biscuit with egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I grabbed a meat and bean burrito and a 7up for lunch also

The day here is going to be spent relaxing. There is nothing planned at all.

Yesterday afternoon prior to grilling some burgers and sausage links I respooled one of my ABU Garcia Black Max 6.4:1 baitcasting reels with some Power Pro 50lb Green Braided line. I matched the reel up on one of my BPS Extreme 7ft (H) casting rods. This will be one of the rods I'll fish with over on Nolan Lake on Ft. Cavazos (Ft. Hood). This will be the rig I fish those Johnson Silver Minnows Spoons with.

Academy H20 Weedless Spoons

Top; That was nice of ya to stop and change the tire on the SUV for Guy there. Tks for sharing the picture with us also. Hope y'all had a great time at the show.

To everyone hope your Sunday is a relaxing and pleasant one. Y'all be safe in your travels if you have to be out and about.

Donald Garner · February 26, 2024, 08:17:25 AM

Good morning to all,

We're covered in Fog here this morning in Central Texas

Our forecasted temps for today are 60-90dgrs with 85%humidity with a SE wind @ 8mphs. Once the fog burns off it's going to be sunny and a little on the warm side today

There's nothing planned for today at all. I'll be tinkering around on the computer and checking out the recliner today

I hope everyone has a really pleasant day today and a relaxing evening ahead.

caddyjoe77 · February 27, 2024, 09:56:56 AM

great temps today but winds are supposed to really blow out of the south w/gusts of 35. not a good day to go out on Big G can get nasty and downright dangerous.

thinking thursday might be a great day so here i sit writing code wishin i was fishin.

I was able to get the cat out Sunday, and that was a good day. Caught some, but definitely need some tweaks on LS and AT2 positioning. At this point I do believe they are going to cooperate

Donald Garner · February 27, 2024, 10:51:35 AM

Good morning to all,

Partly cloudy skies are covering down across Central Texas this morning. Our forecasted temps for today are 53-85dgrs with 69%humidity with a SE wind @ 15mphs.

Not a lot happening here today. I have a medical appointment with my Kidney Doctor this afternoon. Other than that it's going to be a Do Nothing Day

Joe; Nasty winds ouch for sure not a day to be out on the water. Hope the testing and adjustment with the electronics goes well for ya.

To everyone hope your Tuesday is a pleasant and relaxing day for y'all. Be safe in your travels and tight lines if you happen to be out on the water.

The last four days has kicked my butt. Started to get a cold that decided to turn very nasty Friday evening. All the usual stuff of sinus congestion, chest congestion,coughing, muscle aches and joint pains capped off with becoming extra friendly with the toilet bowl. UGH ! ! Still a bit tired and not quite 100 % but I am improving. It is rare for me to get a cold but now it seems that this is the second time since July this has popped up. Not good tater...... Hopefully I can get a good nights sleep after being awake most of last evening.

Weather is warming a bit with temps today in the upper 60s but due to my cold I am still freezing cold and wearing a hoodie while inside. LOL Hope you guys stay healthy and can avoid getting stuff like this.

Bud I hope this finds you well. I personally take C and D3 every day -- not sure if you can and I am not a Doc but it definitely helps.

lots of rest, soup, and liquids. Hope you get to feeling better soon!!

Bud, I hope you're on the mend this morning.

Donald Garner · February 28, 2024, 10:40:42 AM

Good morning to all,

Whew its on the chilly side this morning compared to yesterday

We had a front move through with forecasted temps of 42-52dgrs; 30%humidity with a N wind @ 20mphs. With that wind chill factor it feels like 39dgrs outside right now. The wind is a honking here

My medical appointment with my Kidney Doctor went well yesterday afternoon. With the progress being slowly made he reduced one of the med's I've been taking. It was a good / positive visit we're still vertical and moving forward.

I was going to mow and work in the yard today. With this weather we got going on it's not happening today. It's not fun mowing in a 20mph (+) wind

So I'll be spending the day inside tinkering around on the computer and watching tv.

Bud; I hope you get to feeling better soon. With all these meds for my kidney issue I'm taking I feel cold all the time also. I'm now wearing long sleeve light weight hoodies in the house all the time now. Everywhere we go I have either a hoodie on or a long sleeved light weight jacket.

J.W.; Tks for stopping by. I hope your day will be a good one for ya.

Joe; Tks for stopping by also. I'm taking about 10 different kinds of med's etc. I take some form of vitm. C and D3 everyday also.

To everyone y'all have a pleasant day and evening ahead. Be safe in your travels if you have to be out and about.

Donald Garner · February 29, 2024, 08:53:13 AM

Good morning to everyone

It's another chilly start here across Central Texas this morning

Our forecasted temps for today are 37-51dgrs with 43%humidity with a NE wind @ 9 mphs. We have partly sunny skies so far. There's a warming front moving into the area later on tonight. We're looking at low 60's with highs in the 70's & 80's Friday and over the weekend

Off to get the yard mowed and trimmed this morning. I had a quick breakfast of pancakes and sausage with a glass of orange juice

There is nothing else planned for afternoon except relaxing once a hot shower has been taken.

To everyone I hope this last day of Feb is a good one for ya. Be safe in your travels if you have to be out and about.
