Paige, sorry to hear -- take care. 

Sorry, I, too will have to pass tonight's gathering.  BUMMER!!!   Too much lifting and swifting for a new refrigerator over the weekend.  Back pains and this cold weather doesn't help.  Y'all have fun and I'll see you next month!

Hugs,

WELL BOO ALL TO HECK AND GONE.....yall are the mainest reason we all show up on 2nd Tuesdays...PPPP from CCCS, I have some chicken soup I made that could cure the plague...lots o hot sauce and pepper...and SisJackie, I can loan you big Oliver to massage your back for you, and he's warm too, plus, plus, he can give you a good "blood lettin" whilst he's at it...let out all that bad blood...why, a doctor would charge you plenty for that kinda doctorin, and I will only charge you halvesies...an oliver matriculated and gradumaladed KATNIP SUM KITTY from The  Jethro Beaudines School of Brain Surgery and Cipherin...Big Oliver can also do your taxes for you...

Yesterday, I chauffered Old Yeller to his school for a session with his pupils...he has 3 new ones...Rachel, Jesus and Jose...all very sweet but terribly shy kids...Coop saw this, and broke the ice by breakin wind...that ol boy just knows whats what dont he!!!! Got Rachel to howlin and squealin till the librarian came over and shused us, then she caught wind, so to speak, of Coopers wind, and of what was going on, (real smart librarian) and turned to run but Old Yeller put a wet nose to one of her legs, and she shrieked, which brought a collective "SHUSH" from folks near and far...

From then on, Rachel was putty in the paws of Old Yeller...how he loves those kids and they him...She can actually read pretty well, methinks...I think her being there is just a confidence booster for her shyness...she hugged Coop and petted him whilst she read...only had trouble with one or two words, but I think she probably coulda figured em out eventually...I helped her though, just to be of SOME help...instead of just being a chauffer and handler and pooper scooper...

Ol coop was up most of the night Sunday night with a sick tummy...stayed up with him most of the night...so, once he met each child, he promptly layed on his side, (broke wind a lot)  and went to sleep and SNORED and SNORTED, which got folks to shushin from all corners of the BOOK UNMOBILE...

the kids of course delighted in the attention and for once THEM not being the source of the commotion, but OL YELLER...methinks this ol boy is a Godsend...coitainly an angel of some status, dontchathink????

I AM FREEZINGGGGGGGG...Have on three shirts and flannel lined jeans and two pair of winter socks and my Navy 100 percent wool watch cap...my fangers are just about to freeze on these here keys....

Well, my Dial Tone Factory award Howard Huge mantel clock just chimed 4:45, so got to get started on Zoo feeding time...lessee, is it lions and tigers foist, or bears...hmmm, well the lions and tigers give me more trouble and get all excited when I commence feeding time, so I'lll just start with them...the bears dont cares, long as they get fed...Cats are tooooo finicky...I can put some "AU JUS" from a roast I cooked, in the boys food, and they love it...cats even turn their noses up at ALASKAN KING KRAB...tha ninnys...

see yall at Fuddddds tonight...

Jimmie Lee Smith (Brawner)

Beau, you're freezing???????????  Try a wind chill of 9 degrees and we still have the majority of our snow - it's been so beautiful!!!!!!!  Kids went back to school today.  Wasn't a good day to have my vehicle just give up when I got in it after some shopping.  I never knew before that I could call a road service supplied by our car insurance company.  Just happened to learn that little fact from my hubby today when he was unable to come help me.  Pretty cold waiting for the tow truck.  Luckily, it was only a loose battery cable.  Have a good get-together at Fudd's.

Beau Wann, Jr.

Jimmie Lee, well, it was below 70 here...thats finger freezing temp for me anyway...I'll bet it is just beyootemous there...except the driving of course...put some pics on the forum...

Had the usual suspects at Fudds lastnight...I imagine the cold kept some away...and rightly so, it was COOOOLLLLLDDDD...well, not as cold as some places in the country like BIG D...

SisJackie didnt make it last night, so that gave me an excuse to try my new camera...I tried emailing them to Jackie so she could post...but it sat there "ATTACHING FILES" for 10 minutes, and never did anything, so I gave up...I will try to put a couple here and Jackie can move em, methinks...

Ok, this is taking forever too...took 5 minutes or more just to get these two pictures on here.Must be my computer is mired in the mud...anyone got any suggestions??? I clean the hard drive everyday, maybe I have too many pics and music...

will try again later...once I have come back in from the frozen tundra...have to take the boys on patrol, and its later than normal for that...trying to let it warm up some...Oh goodie, its 32 degrees...
Yours frozenly, Beauregard C Ephus DOD

Jackie Crowe (Finch)

Hey BroBeau,

Great pics -- you probably need to resize your originals so they will download faster.  I use Microsoft Picture Manager --- if you have Microsoft Office you'll have. 

I'll send you an email with instructions --- just let me know what picture viewer/manager software you have.

Sorry I missed the fun --- but I'm on the mend - slowly but surely!

I'll download your pics to Fuddrucker tab ---

Hugs,

J

Beau Wann, Jr.

Jackie, I dont know what I have...let me look, hold on....ok, it is my picture folder, under a file named BeauWann, under a file named DESKTOP...I didnt set it up, so I'm not sure what the heck is it...When the brains of the outfit gets home, I will get her to check it out...
It took 10 minutes to put these two pictures on...

 
heres some people...                               Jimmy Robinsons 55 chevy

try again later...

time passes and it is later...would you believe, I dont have Microsoft Office???? I have Microsoft Office power point viewer 2007...never opened it...I dont even have Word...oh woe is me...what will ever become of me...no office and nno word...nohow...

Jackie Crowe (Finch)

BroBeau,

Thanks will post these --- sorry it is taking you so long. 

J

Beau Wann, Jr.

Hey sisJ, it's not your fault...I'll get er done yet...one of these fortnights...man it took extra long for the picture of Rich LH and Diane...hey sisJ...know what I was thinking???? What if I just take the SD card out of my Camera and give it to you, and you can download them on your computer and then give the card back to me???? I have another card...Sounds like a simple plan to me...But I still am going to try to master this here furshlerginer computer whiz stuff...Gonna buy a new desk top computer with EVERYTHING ON IT...AND 1 terabyte hard drive and the most you can have on the mommie board and the fastest speed...yeah, thats the ticket...

Ok, enough for now...took 20 minutes to upload these four pics...they are all self explanatory, except the "cheeta" boots...Those belong to...BPR...Stylish BP, Stylish...

Teddie Jordan

Come on Beau, fess up.  

I saw you wearing those boots.

Bernd Joachim Tonat

Beau Wann, Jr.

Little shop around the corner...

Breakfast anyone???

Beau Wann, Jr.

Anyone remember the car below??? Franks Auto Repair owns this one and 5 other old cars...He is on Antoine just north of Long Point on the right...

A 1953 Kaiser Manhattan...

Richard Meek '65

DOD I do remember the Kaiser autos. Didn't they also have another model called the Henry J? I think they licensed Sears to sell a version of the Henry J, sold as what else The Allstate?

Whoever was wearing the Cheetah boots. . .they're very cool!

Jackie, glad you're on the mend.

Keep on dancing,

Rich LH

Stay calm, Carry on

Beau Wann, Jr.

Methinks they also made the Crosley, which looked like the Henry J...

I was gonna try to put a picture of all the cars, but this thing has slowed down sooooo much...must be the cold weather has frozen the data to custard...

This is one of Franks other cars...care to guess what it is...Yup, you're absolutely right...
A Buick 38 Special...of when else??? 1938...Has a straight 8 in it...of the 5 cars he has, I like this one best...all of them are original, and not restored...I didnt do such a good job of photographing these cars...gonna go back and try it again...Frank doesnt mind if you look at them or photograph them...I went inside and asked him, just in case....some folks are funny about things like that...like me and my boots....only I can photograph them...

It's a balmy 38, so I guess I will head on out on my MC...grab a bowl of gumbo, or chili somewheres...Maybe Angies...then hit Mancusos for free coffee...

Paige Talley (Meek)

Well, Ya'll... this is no longer funny or fun (it really never was, but I try to have fun with everything). Doc says that by Monday I should be remarkably better... just better NOT well! So with new meds (and another bottle of "killer cough syrup") (YEA-HOO ... I don't ever take the whole bottle, just incase I might need it later when NOT going to the doctor) ... Anyway, this morning I did the usual wake-up late and try to hurry to work on time, but alas, I didn't make it. Let's back up to yesterday at the doctors when the little lady. the one that delays you until the doctor finally gets to the little room, is reading my blood pressure... she says "hmmmmmmmm" ... seems my BP was 102/49. Not to worry, mind is usually down around low normal anyway. That is NOT to indicate that I personally am on the "LOW" side of normal... but I digress.  Back to "up late, etc". I stood up and went straight to the floor. I crawled around for a while, building my BP to some semblience of "pressure". Eventually, my blood and I made it to work where I now sit, which is better than crawling.

Otherwise... all is well in College Station

Paige!  So sorry you are "down" Please be careful and get well soon!

Beau ....get you a leopard skin pill box hat to go with your boots

Jimmy Brown '65

Paige I also hope you get better, as we all do.

Beau quit talking about the old cars and engage

 with these people jealous of your new boots.

Paige Talley (Meek)

I've got the hat to go with the boots! I'd let you wear it Beau, but your hounds would be jealous if you have leopard ears and paws!!!

Thanks for the well wishes. I intend to do better in the morning... thinking about sleeping until noon...lol P

Beau Wann, Jr.

2ND try...doesnt seem to be much point in getting on the forum anymore. After typing for a spell, the "close program" screen comes on and I lose whatever I typed...I guess that could be an omen for me, and a good thing for you all...still, there are better ways to tell me to "GET OUT", dont cha think???

I am upset though beyond the computer probs...looks like, after being a Gemini for 65 years, I am now a Taurus...seems the earths wobbling has shifted us all back a Zodiac sign...I am just...just...perplexed...do I have to give up my twin??? Can we at least be friends??? Actually, I never liked the guy anyway, so good riddance, you you you meany...

So all it took was for the earth to wobble to change stuff up...as many times as I have wobbled, things ought to be changed up all to heck and gone and back again...and probably are too...

PPPP from CCCS...so sorry you are feeling bad...Its all this wobbling that the earth is doing...
anything we can do to hep you???? I made some chili and japalena fries that should cure you of anything, and set you free to boot...

Rode Pegasus today in the balmy 40 gredee weather...the Old Windchill Chart, hereinafter known as the OWCC, started at 35 degrees and only went to 40 mph wind, which made it 2 gredees...the new windchill chart, hereinafter known as the NWCC, starts at 40 gredees and goes up to 60Mph...they say the speed over 40 is negligible...I'll be the judge of that...the new chart, says it is 25 gredees at 40 degrees and 60 MPH, so you can probably guess it was cold riding...but not to worry, I had on my cheeta boots and coonskin cap, and 85 layers of clothes and jackets and socks, so I was ok...

Stopped in at Angies for some good chili and ice tea...us southerners have just got to have our ice tea, no matter what the wind chill is...stopped by both Mancusos and had my complimentary cup O joe, and I bought some Little Debbie Donuts out of their machine...been having an affair with Little Debbie for a long time...as well as some of her sisters, Martha white, Marie Callendar, Betty Crocker, Dolly Madison and assorted friends and family...

was gonna try to put a picture on here, but that is when it wants to shut down...it use to do it easy and quick, now it takes forever if it doesnt shut down first...so I wont try this time...maybe next time I will put the picture first...

Anyone want to go to lunch tomorrow, anyone anyone, Beuhler Beuhler??? Ok, fine, just forget it...I will go with my evil twin, yet again...
Hey Sis J, you up and about yet??? You need anything???? I could bring you a pizza or something...pos to rain tomorrow...it is sprinklink now as I type this...

Stay warm and think good thoughts, even though you are all different zodiacs...

Beau Wann, Jr.

I want food, and I want it now...

this is Peaches...she is 14 years old and still has that kitten look...

Richard Meek '65

DOD, keep Peaches fed and healthy. I had a cat, Cognac, that had that kitten look all her life she lived to be 20.

Scott McMillan,President of HEB/Houston spoke at my Rotary Club yesterday. It really was fascinating to learn so much about grocery retailing. I won't bore all you folks who aren't interested in business and economics. I will pass on one little bit of information that will make you glad you live in Houston. You've probably heard people complaining about the price of groceries going up,i.e.commodities rose 3-4% in one day. In Philadelphia grocery prices are already 33% higher than in Houston. In case you haven't noticed energy prices are going up also. it now cost more to drive to get your higher priced groceries.

We're trying to get a date for another Burger Committee meeting so stay tuned.

Keep on dancing,

You silly boy, Beau... until the earth stops wobblin' you may want to build your "fabulous forum fables" in a word document. SAVE as you go then copy and paste the "FFF" into the Forum. Now for pictures... that is a mystery unto itself. So far I've had no trouble.

Well no trouble with uploading/downloading pixs anyway. Now being that "Trouble is my name" (how can one be a pirate without "trouble" in the mix somewhere) I am avoiding myself lately. It isn't that I don't like me, it is that I have been contagious and do not want to catch any "trouble".

Actually, I may be coming out (No, not THAT coming out) of the sick bed. This morning I had an orange juice before exiting the cozy covers and seemed to avoid the knees to floor greeting. All in all a pretty good morning. 

It is Friday and I expect to enjoy a respectful and serious two days of more recovery. The good news is that life is good and I love it... life that is!!!

By the way... I read today that if you drop your cell phone in the toilet or wash it with the jeans, tryp putting it in a tupperware container of rice (uncooked). Seems the rice will absorb the moisture and it may just work again. Personally, I wouldn't be cooking the rice after the "toilet phone" incident, but hey, I have lots of "other rice". And did you know... A stack of quarters and a "C" cell battery = a "D" cell battery... how much is a stack of quarters? Does anyone actually have change (as in a stack of quarters) anymore?

I should get to work... Love ya'll

OK I've gotten some feed back for a convening of the Burger Committee. Tuesday of next week , Jan. 18th at Five Guys Burgers & Fries, N. Shepherd @ Loop 610, 11:30. Sorry for a lack of prior notice but a couple of people are having a burger emergency. Let us know if you're coming or just show up. Good food and good fellowship. All are welcome!!!

Beau Wann, Jr.

Why, let me check my socialbaloney calendar...hmmm...House and Senate and President want me to speak at a luncheon...tell em what all should be done...they can wait...yeah, I can make 5 guys next tuesday...that way, I can get input from real people and take it to the summit...

Rich the LH, the kats that have the kitten look always, are called "Exotic"...since I still have my "boyish" look, I guess I can be called exotic too...right????....yeah, and chickens have lips...

PPPP from CCCS, sounds like you need to curl up in a dark corner with a comforter and a kat or two...have your butler bring you some hot toddies, or cold toddies, or just about any ol toddie...why are they called "toddie"???? Heck far, I dont have a clue...Of course if it was coined by a drunk, then I'd have to get drunk to figger it out and splain it...

But Really PPPP fron CCCS, on the gnus last night, they were all adither about the changing of the zodiac signs...even had a PHd on astrology splainin why the new sign...and she said, because the oith wobbled...so it has shifted the dates all askew, askance and asunder, and voila, new sign...they said what the new sign was, but I forgot...looks like one of those greek god woids...plus they had a genuwine bonifide astrologist on the show, and she was weirdin me out...her eyes were dartin to and fro, hither and yon, and it looked like she was askew, askance and asunder...so now since the oith has wobbled hence, so have the dates for the signs...where I was a Gemini, I are now a Taurus...I dont make this stuff up, it is too weird to make up...I have a fertile, imaginative and warped mind, but I could never come up with some of the stuff on the gnus...

Cell phone in the terlit???...Yeah, been there done that, only the terlit of which I speak, is a 16' X 32" money pit terlit...just got my new phone sone time back, and was just walkin by the cement pond, and my cell phone jumped out of my scabard, and rat smack dab into 8 feets of terlit water..jumped in the coldy brine, and commited suicide rat then and there...I was...uh...rather...uh...angry, sort of, having to fish it out...but I have fished out other articles of biblical proportions before..
.
I took the now defunct, defrocked defrazzled and otherwise useless piece of digical electronical garbage' back to whence it was purchased, AT&T, and they took it apart, and showed me a pink dot...he said, it was white until it was doused with terlit water, then it turns pink...it is non returnable if that white dot is pink...but he showed me a trick, he took "white out"  and painted said dot till it gleamed white again, then he told me to take it to another AT&T store and they would give me another one. I said, "how bout you give me another one"...to which he replied, "are you crazy, that thing has been to the bottom of the drink"...so I wobbled out...

ok, it is now noonish, I have been on patrol, cleaned the cement pond, cleaned the cement pond area of stuff, taken the sheets and blankets off the weeds my beloved wants to protect, washing a load of clothes, with 3 or 4 more to go...yould think there were half dozen people living here, with all the clothes needin washin...glad I dont have to go down to the crick with the rub board, on a day like today anyhoo...

Warm regards, your friend and soothsayer DOD

I will be there for a small cheese burger not a regular

 like I got the first time. That was a huge burger.

I need to buy some metal from Rose Steel on

pinemont while I am in town for a bbq smoker I am

making out of a 55 gallon drum.  These smokers are

called UDS smokers which stands for Ugly Drum Smokers. 

By the way Beau can you bring the Angel Biscuit recipe.
