I had to scrape frost off of the wife's car and my truck this morning, i think that summer is finally over for the north Texas area.<br /><br />I did not have the chance to enjoy much boating and fishing this year, i went to the lake only four times all year, the last time was around the 4th july weekend, hopefully my health will improve by the time next summer gets here,(Feb- March) even though we do get lots of 60* plus days for fishing during the winter months, i'll miss those too :( <br /><br />Oh well! its not Halloween yet and the Christmas decorations are already up in lots of the stores in the mall, i 'm already sick of christmas, and besides Santa is too darn fat to get down my chimney :D

Vlad it is a might nippy out there this morning. But it'll warm back up again at least in the upper 70's which is perfect IMO.<br /><br />What wrong with your health :confused:

Sorry to here about your lack of time on the lake, that stinks. :mad: I hope things improve before next year. Don't be scrooge though, after boating season, my next favorite is Christmas time. I enjoy the lights and christmas day with my family.

First of all i'm happy to see that you and Rod have not suffered any serious losses from Rita :) <br /><br />I have been troubled with severe lower back and hip problems for most of this year.<br />Its much better now than it was a couple months ago, i'm responding to the new treatment in a very positive way, i had gotten hooked on the prescribed pain killers for a while, that was not good, i'm hoping to start some form of physical therapy soon if my improvement continues, i'm looking forward to that, i just hate all of this inactivity that has invaded my life, judging from my present condition, a full recovery is in the very near future :)

I'm not being a scrouge, my displeasure with Christmas is all of the commercial pomp that has dampned the things that i really enjoy about the celebration of Christmas. <br />And yes i am a retailer and i do financially gain from the culture of decadence that has been fostered to impress like minded folks, but money is not the answer to everything is it?

Geez, I had no idea. Really sorry to hear about all that Vlad. I hope you are quickly on your way to recovery and ready to boat/fish in the spring. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />Hang in there my friend and get well soon! :)

Vlad, sorry if I sounded harsh about the scrooge thing, I should have put I smiley face in there. :D <br />You are right about the pomp of the season though, I get tired of seeing christmas commercials in October, we all know the season is coming. No money doesn't and won't answer everything! But it sure does help! :D :D

When my girls were young they told me there was no Santa because we burned wood and there was no way he could come down our chimney. Christmas morning before they woke up I put deer and sleigh tracks on the garage roof and left some of the presents on the front porch. When they seen that their eyes glowed and my youngest said " there really is a Santa Claus".

Thanks vipzach, The tricky part was making the tracks in the snow without leaving my footprints. I did it with a long pole with a hoof that I cut from a piece of wood nailed to the end of it. I then knocked some of the snow from the roof onto the driveway. I didn't tell them to look at the tracks I just made the remark " How did all that snow get in the driveway" and when they looked out the door they seen the tracks and the presents on the porch.I will never forget it.

Thanks for the great visual OMC. This Christmas Eve instead of sugar plums running through my head, I will be thinking of you cleverly trying to cover up Santa and Rudolph's footprints in the snow. :D
