Like pumpkin pie though ...course I like many a pie ...'.xcept mincemeat...

About 20 years ago I bought an SKS just before one of the waves of "assault rifle" hysteria, just to see what the fuss was all about. So far, so good, it hasn't sneaked out of the gun safe and committed any atrocities. Hasn't dragged me into any schools or movie theaters. It has ventilated some tin cans, and it makes a handy tool for punching holes in paper. Wandered around in the woods a few times in November when it was nasty weather and the Browning didn't want to go outside. But no murder or mayhem.
-
in that vain ...
The FBI statistics show that knives have been used as a murder weapon far more often than rifles — even those evil “assault weapons” we hear so much about — for quite a while
Five times as many murders were committed with knives than were committed with rifles last year.
In 2013, knives or other cutting instruments were used to kill 1,490 victims. In contrast, rifles were the cause of death of 285 murder victims.
Neither is acceptable , but when was the last time some liberal politician , so call celebrity yahoo ::) swanked Knife Control

I like pumpkin spices. Never tried them in coffee, but I do like them in things like breads, cakes and pie. But then, I guess, these are the areas you might expect to find such spices.
While in the Med. during the winter months, I always enjoyed a drink combination of espresso coffee and Brandy or coniac (spelling).
The espresso coffee would make you feel like you could chase cars, and catch them. The coniac would make you feel like finding a warm corner somewhere to take a nap.
After the long, often cold and wet boat ride in from the Ships anchorage to the Fleet Landings Port-of-call, this was a very good way to prime the pumps for the rest of the "Liberty Call".
My best,
Blair

Del, I bet if the contents of pumpkin pie spice were inventoried, you'd find that it's basically the same stuff you're using mixed together ahead of time. Maybe not in the same amounts per each, but the same ingredients ::)

Afternoon all. I'm heating up a pot of chocolate if anyone is interested.
Like my grandpa says, real pumpkin spice is when you put Tabasco on your pie. ::)
Watch that wind, Major. It'll steal your kite! ::) And nice looking rifle, too. I'm actually thinking about selling mine to finance a Blackhawk .357. :P
Well, I got the scope mounted on the new Ruger, but when we went to finish the paperwork the doj website was down. :-\ Have to wait until it's back up to get the rifle. In the meantime, the Colombian blacktail deer remains as elusive as ever, foiling my best attempts to shoot one thus far. But, I have until the 15th to change that.
In other news, I'm now part of the local Search and Rescue team. I don't get to go on any calls until after the 15th, which is when I get to sign paperwork, recertify in CPR and go to rappelling practice. :o

City trip today. Sister had a dentist appointment, I needed my ears lowered, and everyone needed some clothes from an awful place filled with pansies drinking pumpkin spice and wearing skinny jeans. I believe they call it "the mall." I did my clothes buying as quickly as possible, then escaped to a part of the building where there is an escalator, which I rode numerous times. ::)

When I went to bed, I was sniffling a little, but now I'm sitting here on the couch with vaporub and coffee trying to avoid sneezing on my computer. I done got a virus. And how. :-\
In other news, I got a pot of real (read that 'beanless' ::) ) chili simmering right now. Put it on at about 7 last night, and it should be ready sometime around supper today. That sucker smells good, let me tell you. ;D
I also finally got around to rebuilding my sourdough starter last night. My last one was in the icebox, and my grandma thought she would do us a favor by cleaning some older food out...including my bread mother. :'( so I have a new one that should be usable by Sunday.

Here in Melbourne, we lost power at about 10:30 pm Thursday night. Just got it back on about 20 min. ago.
For the most part, this seems to be the worst of what we got. Considering the power of this storm and what it could have caused, we were very lucky.
I am just now able to try to check up on how others have done.

Evening all.
I stayed in bed for most of the day today. I've got some fluid in my right ear that is throwing my hearing and balance down the tubes, so standing for extended periods is not super fun. So I mostly just reposed and listened to The Highwaymen, Goerge Strait and The Hag all day.
Sourdough was pretty much ready this morning, so I whipped up about a dozen trail biscuits in a cast iron pan (I did use the electric oven, though). Kind of bland, but better than being hungry, I suppose. ::)
I got some pellets for an old air gun I have, so last night when I looked out the window and saw an invasive Eurasian Collared Dove eating our expensive turkey food, I did my civic duty and nailed him. :P I wasn't feeling great, so I just took it apart and tossed the meat in a ziploc in the icebox, but a few minutes ago, I put the breasts in some marinade in the refrigerator. Should be good tomorrow. I'll let your know how it turns out.
--TK

Feel better TK .... I know the dreaded " fluid in my ear " syndrome ...comes with the Sinusitis...
I don't seem to catch colds anymore, just the sinusitis can flair up.
I went to the Doc. and got Prednisone & Amoxicillin .... fluid is abated, overall icky feeling & Sinus headache too.
Cough Med has that trained as well.
Side effect is my arthritic knee has quit aching too..... may not be related , cause it was on the mend before the above drugs :-\
-
Got the same thing, would rather have it than the coolant, that would really put me in the hospital.
Sitting in Rita's Buick thing at mile marker 414 east of Lincoln on I-80 waiting on a tow truck for step-daughters van, been here about
2 hours. Spiders to be here in an hour or so. ::)
-
Supposed to be. :P. Here, half hour early.
-
"Got the same thing, would rather have it than the coolant, that would really put me in the hospital."
understood.... you hope it's as cold, but after weeks of the cough, hack, sneezing , post nasal drip, recurrent sinus aches and fluid thing ... I allowed myself to *^%#@$ go to the Doc.....
after a while with it, I just got fed up >:(
Amoxicillin is a horse choking football sized pill and the Prednisone tastes like I would imagine, prehistoric animal scat !
Cough Med is OK ::) , but the too sweet flavor gives my shivers , still the use & results have the infection on the run.....I hope !
Glad you got your tow.... that too, is a crappy feeling sitting on the side , broke down :(
Coffee's on ... Dunkin Donut brand
BTW ...It's 66° and clear..... high of 82 ° they say's :-\ never the less , fall is here today :)

Still pretty bad today. The sinuses are less plugged, but at the cost of being very sensitive. :-\
55 as I write, with an expected high in the 80s.
Why did they go changing ole' Columbus day again? I was happy with it being on the 12th, since it helped me remember my uncle's birthday. After 520 years, you would think it would be a hard holiday to mess up. ::)
One thing I forgot to mention yesterday. I got a new computer Saturday, so I'm trying to figure it all out, but it's going pretty well. It's one of those newfangled Windows 10 deals. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing.

Still using my old #7 here, I'm glad they finally quit sending the "get windows 10" popup every day. I'll just keep this one as is, as long as it works. Then I'll get a 10(or whatever's being sold by then)

I got the Windows 10 update pop-up until finally either accidentally or automatically, it began to download. I hit cancel, and the pop-up has never came back!

I kept deleting it ...the prompt (Win. 10) but somewhere/some point it did it's own install :-\ something about 2:AM less I said NO , I didn't see that , so it did !

Taking my creeping crud to the DR tomorrow, cancled the weekend trip to Clay Center Kansas, the last one of the year.
-
Just cooked up that dove. Thumbs up!
Mother is cooking enchiladas for a chaser, too.
I've found something that has helped my sinuses, if anyone is interested. Every couple of hours, I've been drinking a cup of hot chocolate (Nestle instant powder in the tub, if anyone is wondering. about 2-3 tablespoons of powder per mug) with about two teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of local honey mixed in. So far it's helped.

Depending on how she makes them, those enchiladas might help clear the sinuses, too.
Spent most of the afternoon and evening wrenching. The Mighty Dakota got a new radiator, so it can keep cool, and a new heater core so I won't have to keep cool. While I was at it, fixed one of the doors inside the heater box that's been messed up for years. So now I can have heat where I want it, instead of only on my feet. (Hooray for defrost!)

Afternoon all.
I've been eating elderberries like it's going out of style. It's helped a little, I think, though that could just be the placebo effect.
Major, we figured out that the rabbit cage (cheapo cage from the WalMart pet department) got hit by a falling branch from teh tree it was under. Not a big branch, but enough to knock a wall off. And we nabbed him with the old "surround him and jump" method. I'd have been happy to shoot him, but he's a fairly expensive breeding rabbit, so that wasn't an option. ::)
We also have a Forest Circus control burn about a 1 crow mile from my house. Considering how they typically handle fires, I'm a little jittery. We have CalFire land in between, which makes me feel safer since they have a "stomp it to oblivion" mindset when it comes to fires near town, but still...

1st day of Vacation, but I do have to stop into the work 20 anyway either today or tomorrow , as the FED/ups truck is bringing the goodwill violin case and a Red dot I ordered.
-
Morning all.
All's cloudy in the Cascades. I don't know if these clouds will burn off today or not, but I kind of hope they do. I did some work on the dog run and it needs to dry before there's any more rain.
We have an interesting situation in the county, as well. Apparently there was a breaking and entering, armed robbery, hostage, and kidnapping on the other side of the county. road blocks are up, and all the LEOs in this county and half from the counties around are down there searching the town. :o I'm not leaving the yard, where I can carry a gun without a permit. ::)

Morning all.
I think it's below freezing right now. I can't tell because it's too dark, but if the temperature in my bedroom is anything to go on, it's cold.
Drove up a mountain yesterday with a friend. There was some of the white stuff at the top and we wanted to go play around in it, so we did. Clear day, not really any clouds to speak of.

Evening all.
I finally got that new rifle today. ;D It's been almost a month since I dropped my gold on the counter to pay for it, so I'm quite tired of waiting. ::) First three shots out of it I put out at about 150-ish yards across a canyon. They made a beautiful triangle 1.5 inches across in a stump. Next three I put in a 2" group. Next three I missed the target by 6 feet. ??? Then I remembered that I hadn't tightened the scope bases down all the way. Sure enough, they had come loose. But, I didn't have a screwdriver with me that was the right size, so that pretty much ended the session.
But, the important thing is, I got the rifle.

59° this morning, 1st nip in the air of this Fall for Central Fla.
Coffee pot is perking , there are 2nds.... maybe some toast is in order :-\
-
Had a couple mornings with upper 30's this week. Fall seems firmly in control here. A/Cs went to storage last week, electric space heaters have taken their place already. Resisting the urge to build a fire so far-will probably clean the flue this weekend, though, just in case.
-
39 here this morning, had a few light sprinkles early, now sun and clouds. ::)
-
cooler still this morning @ 53° .....One of the cats is acting like it's catnip.

Wierd, ATM went down today, put a OUT OF ORDER note on it, was to busy to look in the book to see where to call. No need, it called the tech and told him the receipt was jammed and he came and unjammed it. ::)

Afternoon y'all.
All is quieter on the western front. Kind of.
We have three less turkeys now. Butchered them all up, and have it all cleaned up. The smallest one was about 40 pounds, and they went up from there. The biggest was over 50. All dressed out, we've got about 120 pounds of turkey. They aren't going to fit in the oven, though. :o
But, our dog is now in heat. And she refuses to stay in the yard under normal circumstances, so she's having to say inside a lot. Not a happy puppy.
In other news, today is last day of deer season so we are going out in just a few minutes.
--TK

Got back at 19:30.
The couple done got married 'bout 17:30 yesterday.
Our gun deer season is the week of Thanksgiving.

Good idea, Buck; I never considered something like that. Guess I got lucky, working out and about in the boonies as much as I did. Never wore a lot of stuff that could be mistaken for critters, though, mostly blue shirts and jeans, and always had that white hard hat on my punkin'.
It rained here last night, truly rained. I am not a big fan of precipitation, but it is a necessary part of the environment I suppose. I'm not in the habit of covering stuff up when I stop messing with it, so when it rains, which is seldom in this locale, something that shouldn't is bound to get wet, and that is an aggravation. Fortunately, stuff dries right back out pretty quick here, too. Weather is true fall, mildly warm days, cool nights, trending down temperature wise.
-
It's 39 here again. looks like we'll at least have some sun today. Highs are predicted to get into the 50's most of this week. rain for Wed. and Thurs. ::)

I gonna go send some lead down range.... Local SASS group has practice day ....I figure shoot some there, then around to the
front ranges for some AR platform sighting in with a red dot.
Nice day on tap , woke to mid 50's may see 80° for a high, no rain
-
Good afternoon ladies and germs. ::)
So far, I've eaten junk food and gone shooting toady. That's about it. Took my brother out to do some plinking with the new rifle. The scope still isn't zeroed, but I wanted to plink. We set up some milk jugs at about 220 yards across a canyon, and a pringles can at about 35, and burned some powder. Didn't hit anything at first, but I got the scope closer to zero and we tore up that pringles can pretty good. Never could connect on the jugs, though. :-\
Raining here pretty good this week. Already at 3/4" since yesterday, and it's not supposed to quit until Friday.

Tried my own 45 BP reloads in my SAA ... wowzer :) but I think I turn back the wick some :-\
Had the 32/20 Rifle out too ... then the AR around on the front range, all in all a good day of shooting .

Bureaucrats ::) total waste of skin , I feel the same about jury duty !

To be truthful it was far less painless than I thought it would be, needed a copy of my birth certificate, remembered change for the meter, got there and the dang thing don't take dimes and nickels anymore, had to run to the store and get quarters, found out later I could have used the debit card. ::)
Who'd a thought it would come to that?
Oh, got some more platinia on a couple of knives tonight, helped Lemol carve a pumpkin, look that thread is funny. ;D

Morning all.
clouds and rain today, and all week to this point. We have a lot of wet animals, including the dog that likes to shake near electronic devices and the cat that likes to sleep under the blankets. ::)
Was going to toss some lead down range today, but my x and y chromosome donors got a call that a friend's funeral is today in another town. And, since the power steering pump went out on my truck, I'm stuck with no wheels. :-\ Guess I'll wait.
And now for my venting on annoyance. I hate it when I have great, profitable ideas but lack the influence and/or capital to make it work. ::)

Interesting, busy at work tonight, some guy also left his car running while he came it, went out and it was gone, go figure. ::)
Security camera at the wrong angle, oh well.

The wedding was wonderful. Family and friends have departed, and the bride and groom are leaving for Jamaica this morning. The favorite wife is taking them to the airport in a few minutes. We are dog sitting their chocolate lab...at least our beast will have a playmate this week.
My project for the day it so reduce the 15 + pound trigger pull on my new Spencer carbine. Found a method in SSS forum that doesn't require removing metal. The lock plate is off and I'm about to head to the hardware store to get a shim for the mainspring.
