    JB's triple chocolate pecan brownies.

    Oh, yeah?? Well, chocolate is good for you, the darker the better; and pecans have the lowest saturation oil of all nuts. So these brownies can bring you back from the dead. . .well, maybe the near-dead. Saturday is our annual family "celebrate December and January Birthdays" party. This year...

    Hey! What the heck??

    This is something new to me. I know what RFI is, and a lot of related bugs. This doesn't seem to be that. I am using my wireless mouse. Five feet to my left is my 20" Emerson flat screen HDTV. The TV is on antenna, not satellite. Now and then the TV sort of goes wierd. . . sound breaks up, pic...

I confirmed it as...

    DirecTV dish and snow?

    My DirecTV receiver is getting no signal. I looked at the dish and it is partially covered with snow. It is still snowing, so before I get out a ladder and climb up there to clear it off I would like someone to tell me if the snow is the problem or if the receiver is down. Thanks. :)

    BLIZZARD in TEXAS!!!

    The Hideout NEVER gets snow twice in the same year. . .well, until today. About 3" on the ground, visibility 2/10mi, wind about 40, 34 degrees and dropping. This is one reason I left Minnesota. I will be forbidden to travel to visit tomorrow, even with the Subaru. :(

    ARGH!! Read the cotton pickin' label, JB.

    My kids (all middle aged) are really into Texas cuisine. Salsa on everything. If it doesn't paralyze your taste buds it is wuss food. Their Dad, on the other hand, is into west European cuisine. . . delicate flavors, sauces and gravy (Salsa is not a sauce. It is a destroyer of flavor.) Lots of...

    Oh, WOE!! Mouse elbow.

    My right elbow has been sore as a boil since August. Thought it was "tennis" elbow caused by too much time with the weed whacker. Haven't touched that thing now in months, but still. . . .OWOWOWEE!! :( Whined and sniveled enough at T'giving that my daughter the Physical Therapist checked it out...

    Broadband options.

    I have been on a local wireless broadband network for several years. It has not proved to be reliable or economical (maybe economical compared to satellite). They made me buy the hardware (including a replacement transceiver) and charge me a bit over $40 a month. For the past few months it has...

    Benefits of getting old.

    I complain a lot about the pains and penalties of getting old, but there is another side to that disk. You experience history, assuming you pay attention. I can remember where I was and what I was doing when: Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, D-day, FDR died, Enola Gay dropped "the" bomb on...

    Where is Angus?

    Are we going to have to wait until the Giants win another game before we hear from him again?? That could take months. The problem with treating your favorite team's success as a personal triumph is that sometimes they lose.

    The legend of Tripod.

    Years ago (8 to 10) I was out playing with my tractor when I noticed a coyote sitting watching me from about 50 yards. I drove over toward her and when I was about 20 yards away she got up and trotted out to 50 yards and sat down to watch again. She trotted funny so I did it again and got a...
