Morning. Good job Hatch, little warm around here now for that kind of work. I like it better when it's a little cooler.
Ernie, yep lumber is skyrocketing, sure glad I don't need much and sure wouldn't want to have a big project. Talking with one of our contractors and he says that right now any house being built is worth less than what it actually cost to build.
If building say a $150,000, you will have to have roughly an additional 50 to 60 k.

It's 61 here in Saltillo this morning and has been raining since last night. Suppose to stop around mid morning but still some chances throughout the day. Should make for a messy day of events, pretty cool watching them shot the 1841 8 pounder yesterday. Here's a picture of it coming in yesterday morning.

42 and overcast. Light winds. Supposed to stay gloomy for another week. At least it's not snowing.
Coffee with toast and jelly.
Inside work today. Looks like I'll have to get the mower ready pretty soon.

38 heading up into the 40’s and very windy. Looks like storm clouds moving in.

Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that.......

A store west of Spokane has primers in stock. The same store has a local branch so at 9:00 this morning I plan to be there to see if our local branch has any. I’m not out but adding a few can’t hurt. 200 limit per customer I understand. Then on to Spokane to get a hydraulic oil filter for my splitter. Funny, the equipment dealer I’m going to to get the filter is located right in between two full line sporting goods stores. You know what that means. :D

67° headed towards 85°. Going to get some work done today. Still procrastinating on taxes. I'll have to get those done this weekend sometime.
Just had cereal and coffee this morning.

Didn't get to the range this morning, tomorrow instead. How The West Was Won is on TCM this afternoon, always enjoyable.

Morning 52° here in Saltillo with full sun, mid 70's later. Going home later, need to see if the MIL's yard is dry enough to mow.

A 9 pounder, smaller more portable with a larger bore. When they shot it yesterday it would come about 3" off the ground.
