Sounds tasty, M-2. But we're gonna meet up with my CMA chapter at noon for BBQ. (That's Christian Motorcyclists Association, not the country music guys) Since it's already 9AM, maybe just a light snack. Won't be riding today, though, since it's only supposed to get to 31 degrees.

I got some Dillon precision gift cards for Christmas and ordered a bunch of stuff, one of which was their Roller handle, I just tried it out and I wish I had bought it when I first got the 650, It feels so much smoother and less pain in my wrist using it. If you have a 550 oe 650 I can highly recomend getting it.

Went to a brand new toy store today, They have a 28 position indoor 25 yard range, carry Dillon reloading products and it turns out I know some of the employees there. Real nice place.

Major malfunction in Rita's Buick station wagon thing.  Gots glitter in the oil. ::)

She's out bargaining on a 2012 Equinox thing.  She wanted to take it on the highway and picked me up and went about 35 miles east on #2 and came back. Made 2 stops and I added about 25 pounds of assorted sausage to the freezer stash. ;D

My pard has a 2010 Equinox bought new ....only scheduled oil changes ,  tires & wipers swaps in approaching 200,000.
Prior to that a 95 S10 Blazer not sure the mileage, he swears by the Chevy 4 banger.
It was a trip to the NCOWS Convention in Springfield Mo. in his  Equinox ,convinced me to get a Crossover myself.

Glitter in the oil is not a good thing....

I see a lot of Equinox (Equinoxes?) on the road, they seem to be a good car. About the same size as our Trailblazer, but it's more of a "Car based" SUV instead of the truck chassis under the Trailblazer. Should get better mileage than the TB.

Equinii? 
My parents looked at an Equinox. They ended up going with the 2010 Explorer. Wanted that truck chassis.

Last day in Anaconda. Went for a walk and helped the guy we're staying with get some progress with a project he's working on.  Leaving tomorrow around noon. We'll be driving in a little bit of a snow storm, but it's only supposed to drop 3/4" in one of the passes, so it shouldn't be too exciting.  Then school starts Monday.

She don't need a truck chassis, likely the only place it will go off road is in a driveway or parking lot. 

She made them give her an extra key after they were done dealing.  They offered it for cost and she said she'd walk.  Manager had to go talk to his boss.  Also none of the hidden fees because she pointed out Derick at our credit union was doing the title and such. 

She got it for $6650  wanted $6999 and add hidden fees of several hundred.

As for the glitter that's a joke her craft stuff spreads glitter all over, mom's house has been infected since September when the made a party dress for Robin at her house, pointed it out last week.

Mom said mettalic particals were glitter.

Good on her... Sweet ride and the V6 has better legs over the 4 popper. I'd suggest a Trans fluid change.

46° and clear

 



FFL had a consigned Iver Johnson 44 Mag. Cattleman & what appeared to be a nicely made black Buscadero rig with buffalo head nickle Concho's.
He told me the dreamer wanted $700  :o  ,  seriously !  IVER JOHNSON Cattleman is a 1973-78 Uberti. (US assembled & finished)
It is obvious the guy not only is dreamer, but a moron too, as he has stored the gun in the holster rig, sadly there is finish damage on the cylinder and barrel from years of contact...
Ted (FFL) asked me what I thought....  I said "unless the the holster had $500 worth of nickles on it " ?  ::)   cause the Revolver
was maybe $200 , 250 tops ...w/ that finished damage.

Ted said "the guy was not to pleased with my appraisal"...

Slim a couple years back one of our young  ladies from our  church  went on the “World Race” 11 countries 11 months. Her Mother would report progress every week at the fellowship.  Her parents were full of prasies when she returned.  I don’t think she was home 3 months and went to south america or the likes. She now works full time in  Alanta with the  World Race organization. Her calling to fulfill the Missionary duties has led to bigger opportunities.  We here will keep your daughter in prayer.

Sn*w-mageddon predicted here. Or maybe just a couple of inches. First measurable sn*w of the year, so it's a for sure disaster. Unless it's not. Definitely not as nice as the sunny weather the last several days. Barely below freezing, so it's a wet sloppy sn*w.

Evening all.

Hit a balmy 35 degrees in good old Billings today. Currently freezing, with wind to 25. Clear night, so it'll probably be cold by morning.

The first week of class has gone bumpily enough to last me the rest of the year. Had to reschedule 3 classes, buy a new textbook, and pay an extra $100 of tuition that came out of nowhere.  I also have a job working on campus in the security department.  Unfortunately, I won't see any money from that because it's all for direct deposit to my tuition.

Couple or 3 here at home, at least 4 across town at work.

Slicker than snot, locked in and took off in second and drove in 3rd and had no trouble.  Saw one ahead hit the curb on a down hill, one almost sidewaysed in my lane on the up hill and saw one slide through the light.

Glad I have good tires a 4wd and a stick.

You guys got me goin’ on a deep fried (artery hardening) menu for last night.  Moved the spaghetti to tonight.  Did batter dipped catfish fillets, batter dipped deep fried onion rings, and hush puppies with onion and Jalapeno peppers (something we used to get at Valley Fort Bayou Inn in Fallbrook Ca just outside of Oceanside.  Turned out fine.  Sorry Major, but no grits or green ‘matters.

Had it at the church in the gym, and then finished cleaning the church for the week, before service tomorrow. (Wife is the church cleaner). Got 3 boxes of Casey's Pizza left if anyone wants a slice.

Off again Thursday, was out running including supper at our favorite place just down the street.  Had a gift card, run by hipster types but smart ones who know food. ;D

I had the seafood platter, Rita had a T-bone.   Mentioned the one in the freezer, she thought we should get another for Thursday.  Decided I wanted pot roast and have leftovers for samwhices for after work suppers to go with the sourdough. Swedish rye I baked.

Any way went to buy a hunk of cow and the dang Charles roast they wanted $4.98 a point for, optited for top round at $2.98 a pound.  See smoked chuck roast is the new Yuppie trend on their fancy Treger things so between that and the popularity of flat iron steak and top round not being hip, I get better cuts for less.

Sobs around here are catching on and calling sirloin roast tri tip like out in Call land so people will pay more for it. ::)

I pay that for straight run beans, not blend.

Kind like drinking a single malt Scotch or single barrel Bourbon. Every batch is different but  similar.

Most times I pay $8.99 a pound for bulk beans at the grocery store from another roaster that just does wholesale.

Currently 22 degrees, wind to 2, plus some occasional flurries of white stuff.. At least that's above zero. Barely.  Went to the gym this morning and did some running and basic body weight stuff - push-ups, squats, etc. It was 8 degrees then, so I guess it's improved somewhat.

On my annual trips to Sturgis, SD I would either end up in Yellowstone NP or Glacier NP. Sometimes I'd drive from Billings, Montana to Yellowstone NP thru Red Lodge via the Beartooth Highway. Sometimes I would drive from Cody, Wyoming to Yellowstone NP via the Chief Joseph Highway. Both were awesome rides.

When going thru Cody, I would always visit the Buffalo Bill Museum:

I Got the Model 1917 Eddystone and the Brodie & a M17 Stahlhelm
I was given the Luftschutz, so it seemed right to expand to WW2 -  US M1,  Soviet M39 & Heer M40 followed.

Coffee is up.

Sunny but fridged cold for the region
 


The last of the Kids survived the trip to the Vet yesterday.  Only one single horn on the farm. Mistake by the previous farm.
Came home and i heard the neighbirs chickes in a ruckus. A few minutes later a woman pulls in the drive asking if we seen her dog.  I told her check with neighbor. She looked in our field and went home. Little bit later our neighbor cane to see Suzanne and told her that dog killed 2 of her hens.  So one dog leaves the neighborhood and another moves in.

Nope, and up north the Lutheran's are still celebrating. ;D

Took Rowdy to the vet today.  One of his lumps has opened up and has been bleeding.

Took blood and other tests today, vet thinks he can handle surgery if tests come back ok.

If so they are going to remove it Thursday, not going to do a biopsy, if it is cancer will hope that takes care of it.   Few ever survive chemo and at almost 13 it makes no sense.

No matter what he is getting old, made what I think are right for final plans, wife agrees. 

Sounds strange but will have him creamated and I will scatter his ashes behind the garage, where he tries to hide so I won't make him come back in. ;)

Heater fan stopped on the Beast. Called the mechanic who is changing the oil and fixing the the heater fan on the Suburban. He tapped on the heater fan and it started. He is going to drill a hole in the end and put a couple drops of oil in it. I'm going out in a bit to tap on the Beast's heater fan.

Daughter's "new" car didn't want to start a couple days ago. The battery is charging in the garage. I'll put it in later to see if that is the problem.

Went up and down the driveway with the Beast to pack it down some so the 2WD cars might get out, since the tractor is at the mechanic's getting new back tires and rims.

Tapping on it might work for a while, like tapping on a starter motor can. Eventually on my farm truck, it would still run, but not without squalling.
