Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Vaquero]

Pretty darn nice there coop.
I have a 1892 Marlin in 32 colt also.

Where do you get ammo for it? I have all the reloading equipment and do my own. The problem is getting brass.
The rifle is really fun to shoot. Kinda like a big .22.

Like you I just load my own, I do have an almost full box of factory Long colt ammo, and a full box of the shorts, but won't shoot it.
I've pondered and thought about having the chamber reamed to 32 s&w, and it still may happen.
Here's mine with the 1892 Win., it's a 25-20.

20 degrees but supposed to hit 39 this afternoon. Hope it starts melting that ratted snow....

[Vaquero]

Good morning, 27° here, 37° later supposedly.
Maybe burn off some of this white dirt.
Looks like we got around 6" of it.
Breeze of 4mph and gusts of 10.
I might slide out there and check it out later.

Here ya go cook, no telling what they are worth today.

30 this morning heading to 33 or so. Light snow expected this afternoon but no big accumulation. Then getting cold for the next several days with lows in the teens and highs in the 20’s. And maybe Mr. Sunshine will make an appearance. Hope so.

Finished my outdoor burning yesterday. Notice the difference in the snow from when I started and when I finished. Guess my fire was pretty hot.

Really nice Randy. I also have a never fired box of 32 Long Colt. I looked it up a while back and they're worth
quite a bit to collectors.

well, our predicted ice event arrived as scheduled and as advertised .... kids really disappointed this morning when they got up and didn't find any snow .... at 11AM our sky is blue and the temp has risen above freezing to 35 and ice is melting .... for the most part we appear to have dodged the worst of the storm's potential .... pictures below show ice coated surfaces around our place .... aluminum steps into our camper are still ice coated and are too dangerous for me to use .... suspect it will be late afternoon before they thaw .... this is our first ice/snow since 2022 .... a few wrecks were reported earlier and a couple of power poles were cut down ..... predicted high for today is 43 dropping back to 22 tonight .... some slick areas of black ice are anticipated tomorrow morning

Got to the mid west and made a wrong turn and ended up at Sir Henry’s place. Damn GPS!

30 this morning with some glimpses of some blue sky. It’s supposed to be sunny today if the fog stays away. Clear and cold all week which will be a nice change from the dreary days of winter we have “enjoyed” this season.

43' and damp. Not raining. High overcast. Will be coming into some overnight freezing temps.

Typical patchy summer storms for us in Aus. I was at the farm yesterday afternoon doing a bit of work on the hunting/fishing hut we are building, Lots of rumbling and a few spots of rain so decided to pack up and call it a day. Was just starting to drive back towards the main house less than 3/4 mile away when I got a phone call from mum asking if I was still about. It was bucketing down at the house and they had already had 1/4" while it hadnt even wet the ground where I was, Ended up with almost 1.5 inches in about 15min. On the trip home the road was bone dry less than 5 miles away.

This is what my place looks like. The view of the RVport from the upstairs bedroom.
