-10F here, dry and dead calm, WC is only -10F.  Unusal but awesome. If we were at Jerry's up on the hill you could phart and he could here it at the house if he was outside.  If it was daylight you might be able to see over the horizon. Can't think of what they call it but it's a cuzzin to mirages. Works only out in the flatlands.

Were fixing to have a cold snap ourselves. Got to prepare outside water lines from freezing.

Hens went up easily. Mine are in tune to treats so they come a running. Theirs couldn’t figure it out so they cornered eaisly.  The neighbors and sons  caught then and put them back. Ponies have been curried off, and fed  :o ;D


Coffee is on.... hot water for tea and instant coco...

Have rehab this morning or i fix a hot breakfast.

Then i think a trip to Tractor supply

As bad of gas as I have had recently, you'd probably smell it at the house, too! :o

Got caught up with chores and therapy.  Added 6500 steps to my counter. Waterlines are wrapped. Which means i will have to jug water the next few days or so.  Suzanne picked up Straw bales for Pig and the Goats to get some insulation between them and ground.  The hen house is cold but not dangerously cold. Plenty of shavings and i could put a light in there but probably won’t.  Load firewood is on the way here.  Going to stack it then head to TSC.   (We still hAve a coule good burns from last years stockpile)

Evening all.

High was 40, low is supposed to be low 20s.  Possible white stuff up higher.

Went and burnt some powder today.  Finished zeroing my brother's 308, and double-checked my 280.  308 took 6 rounds, and the 280 was 1/4 MOA low and right.  Got it all straightened out, then stretched to 150yards.  I put a 1.5" group on a standard NRA 25y rifle target.  My brother was flinching, but managed to get both on paper, so we called our "long range" shooting a success. ::)

I've got some sugar cookies cooling on the wire rack right now, then they will be frosted and sprinkled and eaten for dessert.  Main course is going to be pizza.

+11 here tonight, why does every knot head thinks they have to tell you it's cold out when they come in the door?

And it's warm in the store, take yer damned gloves off before you get out your wallet and try to pay.  There is a damn line behind you that wants to get their shit and git out. ::)

Language Del language  ;D  ::) ::) ;D. You might make me blush... :o

+11 and they are wearing gloves, why?  Honestly i waited in line to pay, i am going to take my time doing it. I will thank the employee that assist me, if is cold, I will ask them if they are warm enough. I might have a extra coat or gloves i can offer. But i will not be rushed. It is my turn, i learned this from a past potus. 

I spoke with friend near Elk River, Mn. last evening, said he had his truck plugged in and really had no where important to go today.



Morning Coffee is up


Did not get trip to Tractor supply in yesterday maybe today.  Did get everything else on list done. Today different day...

We are spending the holidays with our son and daughter's families in Florida. It is 71 degrees and sunny today. Back home in Wisconsin it is 11 degrees. Two days ago the wind chill was minus 17.

The sunsets in Florida are spectacular.

Trip to BassPro and Tractor Supply today. Stopped at a new gunshop in between there. Lots fire arms.  Including some Cowboy type guns.  Looked at a AR style “pistol” 10 inch barrel flip up sights.  Little pricey though.
Tractor Supply was just stock up stop Tee post etc.

Got home about 4pm from work today. Used the daylight to re-fill the wood rack on the porch, since it's supposed to be 15 or so Saturday, 10 Sunday for highs.

Morning all. The coffee is hot, and the weather is-50. Not negative 50, just colder than 50... all the same to me.

I had my 3 month trip to the Cancer Treatment Center the day after Christmas. The tests all came back clean-ish. Still no cancer, but I have some bad sinus issues, and arthritis in my neck now.

But that is nothing, compared to what the wife gave me. Christmas eve, we were at the kid's home, and I noticed some Mistletoe in a tree in the front yard. So I dragged her out under the tree and give her a big kiss. She gave me a stomach bug in return. The bug didn't hit me until the second day out there, as I was waiting to see the Doc. It took probably an hour for her to see me, and by that time, that bug was really ramping up. I said "I know I only get to see you every 3 months, but you really need to wrap this up... NOW!" She wanted to put me in the Urgent Care, I just wanted to go back to bed. I had stuff just waiting to come out both ends, and it wasn't going to wait long. Still getting over that now, but doing much better.
