Can't compete with the norther's temps, but this morning is our coolest yet this Winter @ 35.°
Coffee is hot and Bacon, Jalapeno Jam on wheat toast as I type this.

Visited my friendly toy store Saturday, He had a pair of cool Remington Eights on consignment.
A 32 Remington (made in 1908) and a Deluxe stocked in 25 Remington (1911), consigned from the same guy who has a Stevens 25/20 Single hot in there.
I guess he has a thing for obsolete and hard to get cartridges.
Course, Buffalo Arms makes the 25/20 BP single shot a $5 a round in box of twenty   

Zoot Shooters might be interested in the Remington's:-\

I'm infatuated in the Stevens, it's just too cool for school, and the photo does not do the case colors justice.

I was proud of the Packers. They were 9.5 point underdogs and in the game until the end.

Well, good day at church, but cold here today. 21 here right now and freezing rain forecast for tonight. At least it is supposed to start warming up Tuesday so that will be nice. Those Model 8s look awful nice.

. Those Model 8s look awful nice.

Yep ! both are in Great shape for 112 years old. The Ammo is obsolete though, Buffalo Arms does load it.
However, @ a $3 + a round, 25 Rem or the 32 Rem. 
($5 a round for the Stevens BP 25/20 Singleshot)
They are out of my comfort zone.
Kinda like starting your Cookout grill with 5 dollar bills 

Oh sure, I realize one can reload the once bought loaded ammo over again. 
 buy the dies etc. and go for it... But I suppose not.

I only link to them cause the are COOL, and maybe someone here might be so inclined.

Good morning my friends. Lazy morning here, day off from the LGS and a Doc appointment this afternoon. Gonna go look at a couple of SUVs after that. The faithful old F150 may get traded soon. Raining and 45 here right now. Had a guy at Church give me a bag of brass last night, it even has some .38 S&W in it!

[Delmonico]

Rita made it down the stairs for her appointment to day, got buffet all by herself and made it back up the stairs by herself.  Looks like we ain't trapped at home any more if we don't want to be. Even dropped her at the door at Walmart and she got a cart thing.

[Major 2]

Well, if I didn't learn NOT to drink a tumbler of COFFEE in the afternoon    being STILL awake @ 4AM
should ram it home!
Being I was up at 6AM yesterday and now 22 hours later  I'm still wide awake.
No nap, NADA didn't even doze off... geese Pete ! 

Prolly, ease over to UTube and watch some Forgotten Weapons or Othais and Mae.

45 here right now, the Missus and I may head out just to get out for a bit. Del, that is wonderful news about Rita, tell her we are still praying for her. Supposed to be clear from rain til this evening, then set in again for a few days. Y'all take care.

The sleepless shenanigans of the prior night are behind me.
I did have a brief nap yesterday mid-afternoon and then called it a day about 9 ish.

Temps today will be in the low 80's with rain predicted Sunday and temp's dropping into the 40's.

Plans today, to visit my friends LGS and risk temptation.

Last night, I drove the Avalanche into and over a fallen tree in the fog. I had driven on that section of the road about 30 minutes earlier without the tree on the road. If there wasn't slush on the road I would have been able to stop before the tree. The plastic/rubber front bumper is cracked. The right side mirror might be a total loss. The front passenger door has a small spot with some damage, but should be fine. The rear passenger door got the brunt of the damage. There is a crease in the lower half that has made the top and bottom of the door bow out so it is no longer water tight. The door does open and close. I might be able to take the inside off and bend it back. We'll see.

'Tis 34 and overcast. High of 39.

The fluids are up to level, so it appears no major leaks. I will change the oil later. So, I will have it on ramps and can check out the underside.

Sure glad it wasn't worse, Slim

Temptation averted, got home with my meager dead Presidents intact.

I did identify a milsurp someone brought in.
 Then went to a BBQ place for sliced pork sandwich.
