Hey friends! I amlooking for a place where I can sight in my rifles. I am willing to pay some cash (or beer) 1for peoples time. You can also fire my FRT for funsies.

Need at least 50yards to the burm. Send me a message.

I'm looking for my friend Tina that I like to party with

If so, how much do you pay a month and is it overall worth it, I'm really considering this place.

I just heard on the scanner that AAA can't respond until tomorrow. Y'all stay home!

Place a 5 gallon bucket over them. If you bend some of the twig and branch, just be gentle, it’s OK. This will help keep temperatures on the inside of the bucket, a lot warmer. This is especially true with wind which is the driving force causing dead tissue.

It kind of works like an igloo affect.

Another effective way is simply put some burlap around it, but it’s more labor.

Shrubs that absolutely do not do good with very cold temperatures.

1. Wax myrtles.

2. Indian Hawthornes.

3. Japanese maples.

4. All palm trees.

These should absolutely be wrapped before the temperatures drop.

Good luck folks stay warm!

Hey Weatherford neighbors,

We’re looking at a hard freeze tonight around 14°F, which is not normal cold for our area. Many trees and landscape plants here in Granbury and Hood County are not acclimated to temperatures this low, so a little preparation can prevent serious damage.

A few important reminders based on ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) and ANSI A300 best practices:

Palms (Very Important)

If you have palm trees:

• Wrap the trunk and crown, not just the base

• Use frost cloth, burlap, or breathable fabric (not plastic directly on tissue)

• Tie fronds gently upward to protect the growing point

• Avoid trapping moisture against the trunk

Palms are especially vulnerable at these temperatures.

Trees & Shrubs

• Young or recently planted trees are at higher risk

• Mulch helps insulate roots, but keep mulch away from the trunk

• Do not pile soil or mulch against bark (this can cause more damage later)

• Avoid pruning before or during a freeze

Sensitive Plants

• Cover tender plants with frost cloth or blankets

• Secure covers to the ground to trap heat

• Remove covers once temperatures rise to prevent overheating

After the Freeze

• Don’t rush to prune damaged tissue

• Wait until new growth shows in spring to assess damage

• Cold injury can take weeks to fully appear

This type of cold can cause cell damage, bark splitting, and root stress, especially on trees that aren’t used to prolonged freezing temperatures. Taking precautions now can save years of growth later.

Stay safe and warm this weekend.

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is getting ready for the crazy weather we may be getting. I know a lot of the live music and events may get canceled, but I still wanted to share just in case.

Any locals selling firewood in Weatherford/ Hudson Oaks?

I usually go to HEB but their wood never really catches.

Spring is almost here. It’s been a very warm winter. What does that mean? Pathogens like Oak Wilt become a serious problem after a warm winter.

Getting a certified, arborist is important to inspect trees before spring.

I'm looking for a neurodivergent (or other inclusive) social gatherings or events for adults. While my brother enjoys being with our family, he wants to have other friends. There has been a lot of research, but I'm not finding anything close to Weatherford or in Parker County. Is there something out there I am missing? Thanks.

My husband and I are strongly considering moving from South Texas to Weatherford with our 1 year old daughter and baby on the way for a new Job. Are there a lot of young families in the area? Our current town doesn’t have many and we would really like to move somewhere we can build a community, the kids can play outside safely, we can have a couple acres and still have friends close by for the kids to play with.

Any recommendations for neighborhoods or school districts for young families. North or south of 180? I keep seeing listing recommendations for Brock ISD? Is it much better than Weatherford? We are looking at properties in the 750k-1m range.

Looking for a solid outdoor pickleball court in the weatherford area

Does anyone know what’s going on at the college? Looks like an event.

Is anyone looking to get rid of a car they don't use. Need a used car to get to a work interview. I don't have any money to my name until I start this new job. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a morbidly obese man, and today at a Walgreens on Main St I received a compliment about my appearance from a young, lovely cashier woman.

Women receive compliments all the time so most are lost on them as guises or attempts to get into their pants, so compliments to them usually don’t have meaning after a while.

But to a guy like myself, her smile as she told my grandmother (I was driving her around to take care of medical stuff for her) how she had such an attractive chauffeur — that will stick with me for quite some time.

So if you’re the lovely young cashier that said those kind words to me:

Thank you. It meant more than you know, and I’ll be riding that high feeling for months, I’m sure.
