Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

2 1/2 inches of rain tomorrow, more on Friday, then temps really drop, cold weather for most of us,
and next time it rains, it won't. Snow in forecast.

if all this rain tomorrow stays rain further North, there is going to be serious flooding.
Will melt snow on ground and combo will be too much. It if is snow, well I'd hop a plane to the Bahamas....

Good morning, the low is 19 and it is going to warm up to 23°F. Wind NW 2 mph. 30% chance of flurries.
IF the weatherman can be believed, then I will be plowing on Wednesday. The winter storm watch is still happening.

So that is my mission for today, watch for a storm.

Helogabals,
I am not used to cold weather. I walked outside without jacket, and it was high humid wind blowing. I got a chill and looked at thermometer. 59F I'm a cold wimp. It has been nearly freezing almost every morning here.

Nice pic's y'all. Popgadget I loved the Philly lights. Turkeys, birds, big homes, frozen ice rinks, snow plows... It's like a tour around the world. I'll bet Wagtail has some scenery where he lives. Hint hint!




Funny thing I went to 2 different gun stores this past week. We have coyotes, and I bought some 00 buck (double ought). I wanted some #4 buck, but they didn't have it. 5 rounds for $12.79 + tax. Ouch. Good thing we hope to not use them often.
Then I was teaching my son to clean shotguns. I have 3 shotguns. All Remington. (not rich here). An 1100 bought new in '82, an 870 Tournament grade Trap model (given to me by my Grand pa) At least 50 years old. And an 1187 semi auto (given to me by my FIL about 20 years ago). Anyway, they all needed cleaned and lubed. I ran out of Hoppes #9, went to local gun store and they were out. She said she had trouble getting it the last time she ordered, but she checked and she could order it now. Since they were out I bought some aerosol "Gun Scrubber" for $9.99 + tax.

All shotguns are cleaned and lubed. 2 are loaded and ready.

Also bought a cleaning rod and tips for the .17 HMR. Skinny little thing. Have to be careful with it.


The rifle my daughter shot her nice buck with was a .300 Ultra Mag. The rounds cost $5 each. This is a very nice white tail buck for Texas. It was shot maybe 10 miles from the border of Mexico. Her aim was perfect, he just fell over. Mostly, this is the one in your prayer list. Thank you. She needs to get motivated to go to college.

.22 is the only thing left that is "cheap" to shoot. IMO.




Prayers.


exactly.


Condolences for neighbor's son. Social media has kids so wound up these days. Bullying, girls flaunting. Boys flaunting. Just a guess it was possibly related to social media at this age.

TxDon, I can still "hobble" around on a tennis court, but I can't chase a ball that is drilled over 10 feet away. So I can see the allure of pickle ball with smaller courts. Hope you enjoy it.

Went to church today. It was good.

Prayers for our team, especially those with health needs.

If she is out hunting, she is probably not a good fit for most colleges today… trade school/apprenticeship may be the better option?

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

23.0F going into upper 30s, clear day today.
unlike some we only got a shake of dandruff yesterday. Seems that the accumulating snow started about 30 miles NE of here.

yesterday was iffy enough with the weather that we changed our post-church plans to go to lunch in the Big City at the Scottish pub and stayed local, since our destination was where the snowy driving began. Went to Japanese instead. Harvested another 6-1/4 gallonsnof tree juice, currently sitting on the woodstove slowly evaporating.

today is back to work to find out what fresh hell the company software engineers will unleash upon us to supposedly make our lives “easier”. . .

And now, coffee…

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Welcome to the GM thread, plowhog.

Thank you to all. 12F as of 4am Pacific. High yesterday was 32F.

Hoping to try a new-to-us shotgun soon. Gave my wife a Ithaca 37 featherlight pump shotgun at Christmas. (20ga) It ejects shells down, not to the side. She is left handed and other side-eject guns whizzed shells in front of her face.

Looked for years, then found a 1972 model that looks near new.

We don't hunt. Just like to shoot for fun. Good morning all.

Good morning! 56˚F good chance of light rain today as low pressure moves closer.

Hospice, our 19 year old cat inherited from Mom, has an appointment with the vet this morning to get a vaccination so he can be boarded when we go on vacation. His health is stable so we don't want to get him on any drugs that might jeopardize his balance of health. He has gained several pounds and his fur has grown out and he actually plays with a ball in the mornings. He is allowed on the couch but only on the cushions that have a cover.
