Our lowest temp so far was 44F yesterday morning. I've started wearing
long pants but, so far, still wearing T shirts. The dog is wanting to
get under her blanket so she is now feeling the chill.

So cold you could slaughter a hog:

Yup! I'm a native Texan, born in Beaumont, TX to a Louisiana Dad and an
Oklahoma Territory Mom. They lived so long in Texas they started talking
like a real one. G Used to be a really good shot with all sorts of
firearms, bow and arrow, and even with knife throwing, nowadays I let my
grandson's go fetch the meat, with my guns. Plus I was a gunsmith for
many years as my second job, but the one that was the most fun. Patron
member of the NRA. Since the paralysis has hit my right (shooting) hand
I've taught myself to shoot left handed. I even had a western hat at one
time and some fancy cowboy boots, all gone away now. G I still shoot a
air rifle to keep some critters out of my fruit trees and the garden.
None of the critters are worth eating so the dog gets them, cooked even.
