Evening gents

Well the white flakes of death have fallen and left us up to almost our ankles in this horrifying deadly substance. Why I even had to be a little more careful than usual going down the driveway for my Sunday coffee at the range. The worst has been the extreme cold. It only got up to 24* today, and may go down as low as 7* tonight. The weathermen and women have saved us all by warning us of this terrible weather that has come upon us. What would we do without these hero drama queens?
This has to be all the fault of Donald Trump and his failure to believe in man made global warming. Why if the earth wasn't so hot, we wouldn't be so cold.

Anyway, you folks that are having REAL bad weather stay safe and don't have heart attacks shoveling all that global warming off your sidewalks and driveways.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Not much snow but the 45 mph winds and 16 deg. was brutal. Really putting a dent in my wood pile too. Angry
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Morning folks,

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Sunday got down to Bisley and shot at my rifle club. Also had the .223 Rem and .257 Roberts out for some zeroing.

Both groups (Small diamond .223 and large diamond .257 Bob) are the first 3 shots out the slip and the squares are 2cm. (apologies for the rushed mid target change picture)

 

Ammo is 62gr Federal Fusions and 120gr Federal Premiums loaded with Nosler Partitions. I a sadly on my last box of the Partitions, I might have to bite the bullet and do a “special order” on some when I get through the Super Performance ammo I have

The cold weather has finally shown up, hard frost on the cars this morning, currently 30 and going all the way to 42F!

Scrummy

Was sure I had a point when I started this post...

Morning gentiles....  It was a brisk 9F this morning and anything wet was icee....  
Just took it easy and got in no problem.  Did have a couple of "Oh Chit" moments while traversing some icee patches.  Else the drive in was fine....

I got lucky in that I only got freezing rain and sleet followed by more rain.  So the rain actually washed away the rest.... Big smile

I hid all weekend, just popped over to my sister's the help her fire up her generator, just in case..... Smile

Mornin gents.

Happy Marchin Lootin Killen  Day.
And if this offends you, then lets look at it from my perspective. I was in high school when MLK was making his mark on the world, and every night on the news (there were only 3 channels then) all you saw was people mostly blacks marching, rioting, looting, and usually people got killed. The message of the cause was drowned out by the violence, but all I was seeing on the news was the violence. I had a negative opinion of the cause because it seemed that everywhere that Martin went, violence was sure to follow.
Now years later as I have learned what, and why things happened, I learned that Martin Luther King was really a great man with a just cause, but I remember the marching, looting, and killing.

Hey it was 9 degrees this AM, but the sun is out and it's going to a balmy 27 today.

Bud, I'm glad the storm missed you, but I'll take snow over freezing rain.

Morning folks,

Gorgeously sunny here in London but still cold. Heard from my folks in Wales and they are getting a pasting of snow after hail this morning.

Scrummy

Mornin gents.

Was about 14* this AM, and going to 40 something. Then it rains tonight, and this cycle starts all over again ending with a cold snowy weekend.
I think I'm just going to go to West Point and jump into the Salt River and float down to the Ohio. After all, global warming will keep me from freezing.

I heard that freshman Congresswoman from New York tell us that the world is going to end in 12 years because of climate change.
