I learned to drive in a stick shift car in Chicago in the winter in the snow. I laugh down here when everything in the city shuts down for a 1/4" of snow.

My driving test occurred on the first snowfall of the year. I'd never driven in snow before. Only markdown I got was not parking close enough to the curb, which was because I couldn't see the curb because of the snow.

I need to go do some work outside before it gets dark but it is freezing out there forcing myself to though

It’s COLD! In TEXAS! In NOVEMBER! Oh holy days, we are truly blessed.

The house is pretty much set in stone, we’re driving up there again today for the final house inspection and then it’s a done deal. Let’s hope I don’t hydroplane on ice and die.

Oh, and can we keep the supernatural talk to a minimum? I’d like to keep my breakfast down, thanks.

WOOT!!!
We want pictures of your new kitchen!

Pumpkin Stuff from Mom aka Pumpkin harvest dump cake.
Melt
1 3/4 sticks of butter. Don't add it in. This is to pour on the top.

Mix
1 can pumpkin
1 can evaporated milk
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pour into 9x13 pan

Dump on top of this, spread kinda evenly, 1 yellow cake mix - dry, straight from the box.

Drizzle melted butter over cake mix.
Bake 50-60 minutes at 360°
Delicious served warm with cool whip or ice cream. That's Blue Bell, Kiki.

Real easy dump cake and everyone likes it. Us kids would ask for it for Thanksgiving. Made several pans through Christmas until we were full of it. Good stuff, Maynard.

Got a lot done. I mean, not a ton, would have gotten more done if I had started sooner, but still a decent amount. A lot for me. Cleaned behind the coop/run. There was all kinds of random stuff back there. A bunch of tools from the garden ended up laying behind the run, rakes and hoes and shovels and such, plus some plastic shutters I took off the run roof (got discounted at Lowe's a while ago, was using for part of the roof, but they were ugly, bent and annoying, so I had taken them off and never moved them, there was a big sail my mom got somewhere and was using for shade this summer, don't want it. Random plastic shelving thing she got and a bunch of extra shelves and the poles laying aroumd, no desire or use for it, random light/lamp thing that goes outside a door, a random ceramic chicken and bowl, various cheap metal/foil tins sometimes used to give them treats, bunch of random fencing (2 snow fence things, bird/deer netting, and then 2 pretty decent stuff I might use), and a few other random things like a few huge random pieces of wood, giant fallen branches, the egg basket, a random metal trash can I don't want. Basically too much STUFF. Most of it isn't even mine but ended up there via my mother. So most of it is going back to the dump and the rest is now organized and tools moved to the garage except two that I bought for the coop. Forgot to take before and after pictures but trust me, it looks way better lol still have some more work to do like clean out the shed and move the gigantic roll of hardware cloth (and put it up) but that will be done this weekend probably. Walking/training the dogs tomorrow and we also might either get snow or just a ton of rain tomorrow and Friday so it's going to have to wait. Refilled the chickens' food too but brought the water in. It was really low anyway and it's supposed to get down to 22 tonight. Thinking of plugging in the heated water bowl but I have to find the extension cord and get to the window in the garage.
