Pretty quiet
« on: January 07, 2025, 10:09:25 AM »
 Seems like the winter lull has set in.
 We , meaning the Coeur d alene muzzleloaders had our annual Christmas party and elections.
 My friend and yours Eric Carlson ( 2nd rate marksman)was selected as sequndo for the rendezvous.
 I was installed as VP.  Not my intention but somebody's gotta do it.
 What's everyone else doing these cold wet snowy days.
Or maybe it sunny I don't know, nobody's talking. :wave

Hey Kevin.
It’s 38 here in the Rio Grande Valley Texas. Very cold by our standards. Nobody going to the range. I live in arthritis village so we are hunkered down indoors. Maybe later today it’s supposed to get to 55.
I know, I know. Don’t cry for me.

We had or monthly shoot this past Saturday, took the old 54 GPR out and gave it some exercise, still shoots better than I do! had a great lunch of homemade potato & ham soup and ham sliders and applesauce raisin cake! soup hit the spot as it was 44 and drizzly, hunkered down Sunday, made some shredded beef tacos for dinner, then ran a few errands with the boss lady yesterday including a Costco run, ( why is it I can never get out of that place for less than $100.00? ) and worked some on a custom fowler pouch for an old customer. I hope to have that bag done by tomorrow so I can get on a couple horns for the ML show in March, we have 2 tables for some goods to sell.

Not ML related, but I'm getting ready to pull the motor on one of my old Triumphs so as to rebuild it. $$$

Not much going on around here, just "enjoying" the snow and ice. It did get up to a balmy 19 degrees today so I've been catching up on my naps.
I hope everyone is staying warm!   :hairy

Going to work, chasing kids, paying bills. Same ole routine this time of year. I did take the boys out and chase some rabbits around end of the year. Now we're just waiting to go ice fishing if it ever stabilizes any. 
Im afraid to commit to too much anymore with the way our work is. I work for a certain orange railroad and they keep trying to axe my craft completely.. I went from 20+ guys under me seniority to 3 now.. It's all in the name of pleasing stockholders. Same ole song..
