fagnaml Report post Posted February 18, 2019 Richard -- I don't want to make your cabin fever any worse, but trees are starting to "bud out" in the Houston area. It will be "chilly" this week with highs around 60 and lows in the upper 40's. The start of patio season / bluebonnet season is just a couple of weeks away which reminds me it's time to make reservations for the Wine & Wildflower Journey in the Texas Hill Country this April --> https://texaswinetrail.com/product/wine-wildflower-journey-2019/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted February 19, 2019 Just the other day I fired up the Traeger and BBQ'd St. Louis Style ribs. They came out deliciously. It's nice being able to BBQ in nicer weather all year round, well maybe a little hotter in Summer than other places but that is why I'm a "Summerbird."

I'd take that any day over snow, sleet freezing rain, rusted cars that you still owe on or become junk right after the last payment, car accidents from weather, trapped in the house, only can use the coach 6-7 months a year, all of that is painful! I'll take the sweat any day.....SIGN ME UP!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have the house heat seat at 71 and still running my little electric element in the room I'm in. Happy I have auto start on the car so I can warm it up 10 minutes before I have to get into it. Just need that old man's mad dash from house to car. DW's car is garaged - lucky her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drove all the way across Texas and still looked for them. Of course I go to florida and look at their RIVERS, our creeks in Alabama are larger than those rivers. And of course there is the mighty Rio Grande in place to keep those Mexicans out of Texas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree on the Rio Grande not being much of a deterrent. When I was camped on the banks of the St Lawrence this summer I thought it was a much better barrier along with lake Ontario.
