33° and snowing. I felt worse today than yesterday. I’m beat.

I like pad Thai. It’s mild.

I just got my furnace oil tank topped off...$1158.95 for 490 L/129.6US gal

On another note, we are under a snow squall watch. Could get a couple of feet out of this. I guess I will have to plow.

Question for the group. For wife shooting lesson.
Which gun should we rent.
I lean toward Glock 9mm, but they seem to have a pretty wide selection.

I'd start any beginner off with something with very little recoil that is easy to operate. Like a K-frame S&W .22LR revolver. First step her through the rules of safe gun handling and sight picture, let her know what to expect at the range so she can dress accordingly (ball cap, no low neck lines, comfortable closed toe shoes, and if outside, a comfortable jacket she can move around in easily. After a box of 22s, ask her how she's doing, and be open to even the littlest question, some of which may seem silly but there's no such thing as a stupid question. If she's doing fine, then offer something like a S&W .380 Easy. The idea is for her to have fun, not to make it into a marathon.

FWIW, teaching someone to shoot may not be the best idea. I taught an ex-wife, then was threatened with a gun by her.

Got a call from Kubota neighbor seeking my assistance getting his tractor home. He’s pretty convinced that the engine is toast from its encounter with the pond. Thinks it likely ingested water via air intake. I’ll load his bucket and rotary mower on trailer then tow the tractor. Tough lesson.

check that the engine turns over with wrench on the front pulley. If not check for water in the cylinder by either remove glow plugs or injectors and turn the engine again. Turn engine until expelled. If turning hook up battery and check oil in crankcase for water. Put it all together and start

First timer? Revolver would be ideal. Then if she likes it, you can progress to an auto. Just my 2 cents.

My wife (anniversary is tomorrow, together 50 years!) I convinced her to try my 10ga goose gun with a slug shot from the hip.
"Great God" she exclaimed, but I said if someone breaks in the go to is the .500 S&W Magnum since it's loaded with a "Whitmans Sampler" mix and I can always replaster.
