Wow!!! 4 degrees this morning
« on: October 30, 2019, 09:14:55 AM »
Way to early for 4 degree weather IMHO! It's cold out this morning! However - it's suppose to get up to 25 today - then in to the 30's after that... How's you folks weather shaping up? I hope this isn't an indication that it's going to be this way for the next 4 to 5 months... :P

Glad I am here and not with you, Joe. You're right....far too early to be that cold.

It's supposed to be in mid-high 50s today with rain called for both today and tomorrow. The temp is supposed to drop about 15 degrees by Friday morning, making it a great hunting day...2 days of bad weather followed by clearing and cold.

Saturday is last day of archery season and muzzleloading season begins on Sunday. I know I "HAVE TO" hunt Friday. I just hope it doesn't interfere with my first ML hunting starting Sunday...

Lows in the teens and highs in the 30's.  Happy I am.  Maybe it will push some ducks and geese down this way!

been in the 60's and rainy here in one of the absolute worst states of our union, jersey.  our founding fathers and revolution troops are rolling in their graves over how anti-constitutional this swamp has become.  dang.  anyhoo, weather will dive to the 50's next week and then begins the further plummet to single digits.  i hate the cold.  must be a sign of my advanced age.  so be it.  half my buds have escaped south.  hope to join them all next year, and hopefully permanently.   :*:

i love smoothies.  here's the last one that "escaped" me earlier this year, a .62 ...

Raining here today, 100% chance of it for tomorrow also, then clear with temperatures dropping to freezing.  Howsomever, I finished building my shed and got it painted, with all the yard machinery, bicycles etc. in it (did last minute touch up painting this a.m. before the rain hit).  Now all the stuff I had in the woodshed is in its own place, I have to go get four or five loads of fire wood which I should have done months ago.  Since the boy is now in the Army (in Kansas) I don't have anyone to help pack it to the truck; I fear I will have to invest in some Bengay for the back before I'm done!  :laffing

I expect 77 degrees today and 11 degrees tonight after flying from AZ to ID.
I'm not looking forward to the cold, but that's where the grandkids are.
I guess I'll just have to think warm thoughts  :*:
The trouble with doing things right the first time is no one realizes how hard it was.
Often, however, the following is more applicable.
I stand corrected, a position somewhat painful to achieve, but once there, is quite satisfying.

Beautiful smoothbore...I would love to get a .62. I have a .75 trade gun but I really think a 62 would be more versatile. But I have to get at least deer on the ground with the .75 before I will even think of allow myself to think about
gettin' another one... :lol sign

That said (with an almost straight face), if you hear of a good deal on a nice smoothie like the one in your photo, well it never hurts to listen...
