Welcome to the second Month of 2022 :)
Have to break in a new Doc. office today, (just for biannual re-up on check & med's)
My new Medicare plan for 2022 required a change in provider.
Frankly I'm glad, the prior office kept passing me around the office
Three different female PA's, in the last year and a half. ::)

Afternoon all.
Got home to Missoula around 12:30am. Had just enough time to shower, drink a glass of water and lay down before it was time to get up for work. And another early-up tomorrow.
Got the news back on my CBP application. “Thanks for applying, try again later.” I attribute it to Providence, I suppose. So now the Mrs. and I are figuring out our next steps in life.

I used to love when it got cold---er, on the rare occasions here we'd get a hard freeze.
We hadn't seen one of those since 2012, and then only a few hours near morning.
Then last Sat. & Sunday we reach that and a dip below....
I slept with electric blanket, and pretty much wrapped up in it part most of the day ::)
When I was working on "Gods & Generals" in Maryland (2001) I saw and felt single digits.
and actually, this flatlander was fricking FREEZING.
Leather Bomber jacket & flannel shirt, Balaclava, wool gloves, but my shoes were NOT up to the task.
So, when you guys say -8 snow and ICE, I feel for you.
It reached 82° briefly around 2: ish it's now, 78°, Sat & Sun. we will see low 50's.
Not rubbing it in, just saying I don't like it COLD anymore, now that I'm..... well..... OLD! :(

Afternoon folks. Got about 3-4" of freezing rain then snow. 25 here right now. Been a good day for coffee and staying in with old movies.

Evening all.
Currently in Great Falls for the monthly exodus. The weather was… conflicting. I drive over yesterday in blowing snow and freezimg fog, temps in the low single digits. This morning it was 21, and climbed to 45. Though the warmth was somewhat negated by the wind, which same being factored for brings the temperature down to 0. More of the same tomorrow.

We have fire warnings, would be glad to take that snow. ;D

Didn't get warm enough to melt anything today, but tomorrow is supposed to hit the mid 40s, so it should clear most of it off. Sunday should get to near 50, so that is good news.

Took the dog out and found the weather dreary, gray & misting.
I'm guessing we'll have more people coming into the Museum to get out of the mess.
It will be a long day too, in at 10A. then we have an extra event in the auditorium 6-9 PM scheduled.
Bran Flakes for breakfast, and that all in all is about as exciting as it gets today, :-\

Got dug out of a two day blizzard. We desperately need the water here!
Almost 2 feet of snow, down to 6 Deg. Now up into the 40s.

Well warmed up a bit here and melted quite a bit of the ice and snow off. The rest of it should go in the next couple of days as it continues to warm up. Coffee tastes good right now. Ready for Church tomorrow, hope you all have a good day.

I am putting on a Dutch Oven Gathering the third weekend in September at Rock Creek Station State Historical Park in SE Nebraska. The reason this spot was chosen was I am a volunteer there and have been since the late 90's and have a very good relationship with them.
Also not quite but almost dead center of the country, less than 100 miles if I remember correct.
N 40.11123 W 97.05854
Also we are allowed to have an actual fire in a hole on the ground and the park will provide us with plenty of wood.
Then there is the History down there, that is where Bill Hickok killed Dave McCandless in the spring of 1861 starting his legend.
If interested join this group where we will discuss the agenda. It don't matter if you are new or been doing this for years don't be afraid to come down and demo what you can do. Someone interested it just starting out may relate better to you than some of us with 30 years or more doing more fancy things.

The wife and I had an enjoyable time last night previewing all the commercials that are scheduled to air today during the Super Bowl.
No need to watch the game now.
-
Is there some sort of game today? ;D
No need to watch the commercials either, they are just trying to get me to buy crap I don't need or want. ::)
-
in agreement with RCJ, no real need to watch, zip interest in either team...
not much into Pro Gridiron anyway though a good Collage game can be cool....
Whatever last interest I might have had went south over whole one knee protests BS.
But that said, we are having a SB party at the Museum, and show the game on the 120" screen.
It's a good excuse as any to throw a members get together.
The last one was the Christmas party at the BBQ/ Comedy Store

Good day at Church this morning, it's made it up to 53 here today after 31 yesterday. Good cup of coffee here, finished up an old book that started my love for reading and WW2 airplanes, The Flying Tigers by John Toland. My copy was lost years ago, and I found one on Fleabay so picked it up. Good memories.
PS: Major I really like your nail polish! ;)

Superbowl 1/2 show on a scale of 1 to 10.... eh ::) won't even bother, it sucked ...rap sucks.
The game was rather good though, I would have rather seen the underdog Bengals on top.
But in reality, I didn't really care.

Safely back in MT, though the CA weather seems to be trying to follow. It’s 45 today, though it did dump a half inch of white last night.
Regarding the sports ball doings on Sunday, the o Lu reason I knew it was happening was because I had to go clean a grease trap at a local sports bar before the game. I never get obligated to watch fat dudes in spandex fight over a $10 toy. Lord knows they can all afford their own at Target. But I digress.

Major excitement, I was on the receiving end of at least 3 errant SHOTS!
Two young fellows were target shooting on their property about 350 yards to my west, three (at least) hit my home. One took out the front bay window glass, the other two are in the siding and wall, thought did not penetrate through the insulation or drywall.
The Bay window is toast though, I called the Sheriff, and they found the Suspects and they admitted they were Target practicing with 9MM & 40 Semi Autos.
It was not a malicious intent, and the Sheriff brought the two over to apologize and make restitution
(To be determined, won't be inexpensive, window is about $3500)
-
Major, thank God that no one was hurt!
-
Thank you !
Indeed, it could have been very bad, the bullet had to cross the vacant woods across the street, not mention my street (where it could have hit a passing car) travel 120 yards back to my house
and penetrate my living room.
I found the spent 9mm bullets, Sheriff took that as evidence. At this point the Sheriff is cool, the fellows were not arrested, and he brought them around to sincerely apologias.
I was also cool & calm; I'll call insurance tomorrow to replace the window.
IF, all is well, I won't press charges, if they pay damages (they said they would in the present of the Sheriff) and I have case number.
-
I think in this case a mild flogging might also be in order along with a mandatory shooting safety class.
-
I think they should be required to surrender their pistols to you as a lesson on gun safety. As well as any and all ammunition they might have. ;) ;)
-
Turns out they were shooting both 9mm and a 40 cal.
The one spent bullet I found on the inside window seat was FMJ.
The jacket was separated from the lead pill I also found about a foot to the right.
It had hit the back of the couch and bounced back out.
The other two are embedded in the walls.
I'm calling today for estimates, I am guessing with labor replacing the window will be north of $3500
Repairs to the walls, maybe $400 mostly labor I'd think.
I have State Farm, I'll see what they suggest.
I don't know what if any charges will result.

Morning y'all.

Good to hear nobody was hurt. I think a trip to the range with safety training should happen.

The perps were still target shooting when the Sheriff (3) deputies arrived and stopped them.
The window is a 60" X 72" Double glass Bay window with side sliders

Not hard to look at all :)
Here are the spent bullet fragments and the other two hits in the exterior walls.
One in the south Bedroom, the other over the Front door under the entry overhang.

Reckless endangerment comes to mind for charges. ::)

Reckless endangerment comes to mind for charges. ::)
25 CFR § 11.401 - Recklessly endangering another person.
A person commits a misdemeanor if he or she recklessly engages in conduct which places or may place another person in danger of death or serious bodily injury. Recklessness and danger shall be presumed where a person knowingly points a firearm at or in the direction of another person, whether or not the actor believed the firearm to be loaded.
No malicious intent was involved (they were target shooting which is legal) determined by the investigating Sheriff Sarg. (However, charges can be brought later)
At this point, I have two estimates' next week, I will present the cost to the Perps...
I HOPE it can be resolved with them paying damages.
worst case...
Shooting Into an Occupied Dwelling
In Florida, if you shoot or throw a “deadly missile” into a building, vehicle or vessel with wanton or malicious intent, you could be facing up to 15 years in prison and a fine of $10,000..
This is true even if absolutely no one was injured as a result of your actions.
Possible Defenses
There are a host of possible defenses in these cases. Prosecutors will sometimes try to use the severity of the charge to strong-arm defendants into pleading guilty to a lesser but still-serious offense. This is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Recognize that there could be an effective way to have the charges significantly reduced or dismissed altogether. Some possible defense strategies may include:
Vehicle was not occupied; N/A
Lack of sufficient evidence to identify the object; (We have the bullet)
Object was not one that could have produced great bodily harm or death; BULLET !
The shooting, projection or throwing was accidental;
There was no wanton or malicious intention;
Not enough evidence defendant was the one to throw, shoot or project the object. They admit and were in the act of shooting when the Sheriff arrived and saw them !

I put in a good 10.5 hours at the old grindstone today, starting at 5:30. I’ll take that over the 4 hour days I was getting the past two months. Makes bills easier.
Weather here was oddly warm, with a high of 50 degrees. That’s supposed to stay the same until Monday, at which time it is forecast to drop below zero again. It’s been nice while it’s lasted though.

64 here, couldn't get in earlier on any device. Got a couple bags of chicken legs from the Food Bank so Rita is cooking them to freeze and seal and have microwave food later. Decided to make batter and back, oven fried or what ever they call it. Never made it before so she had me look it up. ::) (She didn't like my turn the oven between 350 and 425 and bake till done so I looked at a couple dozen because I don't trust net recipe. Oven between 375 and 425, some had no temp but all looked like the same recipe plagiarized.
I spend a lot of time helping people figure out why their pinned or what ever recipe failed. Most baking quick breads and involves leavening, calling for baking soda when they need baking powder or forgetting to put self rising on the flour and just putting flower, shit don't leaven itself. :P
When it's done should a say, "It's shaaake un bake and I helped." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB7j3sUWohE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB7j3sUWohE)

The honor guard was out yesterday morning rehearsing and are here in full dress uniform today.

The Veteran was in WW2 uniform and can be seen seated (wheelchair) alongside of his daughter right center.
The honor guard was provided by the USN. The flag was folded and presented to him.
The old gent could walk; however, we provided the wheeled chair so he could comfortably tour the Museum.
I apologize, I left the photo taking to one of the museum volunteers, I was disappointed.

Well, we decided to get away to Branson MO this week, yesterday was spectacular and tomorrow is supposed to be ice and snow! Ah, the joys of living in the Mid South. It is the prettiest place you can imagine, if you get to Branson, the Lawrence Welk Resort is gorgeous. Coffee in a one and a two...

I went to the College of the Ozarks for 1.5 years, which is just south of Branson. I worked at Sadie's Sideboard on the strip as a bus boy.

We are on a roller coaster temp wise in the “Biggest Little City”. We were at almost 60 two days ago, then barely broke freezing at 32 on 2’s Tuesday 2/22/22. Too bad we didn’t top off at 22. I guess that would be 22 2/22/22 much. Started climbing again and should be back to almost 60 by next Tuesday.
Guess this has been too much, so I’ll go back to sleep now!

Well, it's evening here in Branson MO. We came up Monday for a getaway, Monday was gorgeous, just beeyootiful, Tuesday was cooling off and Wednesday and this AM were freezing rain, snow, sleet, etc. Anyhoo the roads are getting cleared so we will head home tomorrow morn. Even had the power go out at our house for about 6 hours while we were gone, so it's just as well we were here. Will probably take the Missus to her favorite mall before we hit the road tomorrow as she missed out on 2 days of attack shopping. I did score 1,000 CCI LPPs so it was a good trip for me.

If you look in the Background, (my 1st photo) there is a Harley Davidson WLA (I believe the owner said 1945)
Photos was taken at last year's Bike Jamboree
and a photo as the 741 is displayed @ the Museum

Well we got home a while ago. The main roads were great, until we got to our own house! Driveway still icy but we made it home allright. Hopefully gets warm enough to soften the big ice pile by the garage door.

Me ? I was up and out to scout out my assigned spot for Display on downtown main street.
I wanted to know in advance where I could unload, then park...
Then turned the trip into an excuse to stop by the frendly LGS.
Almost had a guy buying one of my holsters.
He bought a Heritage Rough Rider Bar Keeper, was looking to get a holster too.
I had one that fit it like it was made for it (it wasn't)... He's an older guy with his grandson (I assumed) with him.
Any he looked at several different guns before he decided on the 22Cal Revolver.
The thing that disturbed me as he kept turning the pieces in his hand to look them over and swept just about everyone including his grandson ::) WHO finally said "watch it stepping back and away (kid was about 11-12)"
Kid was more on the ball, than gramps! Oh well! they left with the Heritage but didn't buy my holster.
DRAT !

I was up early today (for me) Riley don't like getting up early. ;D Got some things done including a nap. Going to get some more things done, making slow progress. ::)

Wife's off to Her Bible study group,

Chinese hash here, got rid of some odds and ends and fried it up with rice. Chinese hash. ;D
Edit, Jasmine rice, very long grained and awesome. I buy it cheap at Costco in 15 pound bags, expensive at the regular store in 1 pound bags.

I'm gonna close out February with some left over coffee and finally putting my feet up. All the ice melting here had water running under the door of one of the rooms at our Church so we were running my ancient shopvac all day to keep things under control. I'm not as young as I used to be and my back is killing me. Anyway, we got the job done! Major, love the Star wars pics, and yup, there were modified Lewis guns in the original Star Wars.

Y'all go here.
