Mid 20s here. A trace of snow overnight.

Coffee in the John Deere mug.

Nothing too exciting planned for today.

Enjoy your day.

with winter on the way, it looks like today will be a good one to practice staying inside all day .... 40 when we got up, projected high 49 .... our area is in a significant drought .... bone dry outside when we went to bed last night .... pictures below were taken out our back door a few minutes ago .... the morning reports say we need much, much more rain to catch up but that isn't on the horizon

Back to warm weather. It was 61° this morning at 6 while walking the dogs. Right now it's 66° and headed to about 75°. Eighties Thursday and Friday before another front arrives. Just had cereal, banana, and coffee for breakfast.

-6 and 5” of new…..brrrrr Coop. That will be some easily moved snow

32 heading to 39 here locally and maybe 41 where the range is located. Might see some sun around mid-day but we have some pretty gusty winds in the forecast. Going to hit the range today to do some more work with the Ruger 22/45 and Single Seven and first shots with the Wrangler. Looks like Ruger day for me. The handgun range is pretty well sheltered from the wind so I should be okay to check groups. I’ve got five loads prepped for the Single Seven and today I’m looking for the most promising powder. The 22/45 I will run with several different types of ammo to see what it likes. Same thing with the Wrangler.

I must be an early riser. Coffee good anyway.... a warm day ahead they say. Stuff to do.!... at least its stuff of my choosing. ... so, not starting of with any complaints..
I hope we all have a good one..every day is actually a shot in the dark as to what's going to happen, good, bad, or in between...who knew we were all such gamblers?!!....I would praise us all as fearless for forgoing out into the unknown every day.... but it occurs to me that witless might be closer to the mark than fearless .. but, oh well, what the heck...ignorance is bliss.... so head out and hope for the best.!... in this country ( happily) ., most days it goes pretty good....so stay postive and see what happens.... it's as good a plan as any....👍👍👍

I don't care if the official temp didn't fall well below freezing last night, it was really cold .... we awoke to a HEAVY frost (AKA Baby Snow) .... cloudless sky .... breakfast of eggs, tomato, sausage, and Folgers hit the spot - Folgers still flowing .... nothing much else on tap

Just plain ol' cold this morning. 33 air temp with a breeze makes it feel like 30 and figure in age factor and it really feels like 25 !
Warmer for the weekend though. Need to get down to the range and check things out again. Deer hunters out and about have the wildlife coming to our no hunt area. Even a black bear has been seen around our place!

Well now, 30 above is a little better.
Folgers and cookies.
We have several pounds of Salmon brined and drying on racks. Today I will smoke them. We don't do
a heavy smoke, just enough for them to be cooked through and a light smoke flavor. Then Carol
shrink wraps portions and we give them to friends for Christmas. We've been doing this for 25 years
now and folks always ask when the care packages are coming. Carol also includes home made toffee,
spiced nuts, and cookies. The neighbors respond with gifts of their own. It's a great neighbor hood. :D
