A rock broke my fog/driving light on my Explorer. The internet said it would involve removing the inner wheel well and all.
I took it to a local shop and they said that was BS and had it done in twenty minutes.
I think they're engineered just so we can't do it ourselves anymore.

Warming up a bit with 15 when I got up and it’s 17 now heading to 24 later. Looks to be overcast which is why it’s 21 degrees than yesterday at this time. Ya baby! Making a run to Idaho today and buying gas at a station next to Cabela’s. Who just sent me a letter saying I haven’t used my Cabela’s credit card for two years and if I don’t use it the account will be closed. I rarely use it but occasionally Cabelas will put something on sale that required using their card. So I guess I had better stop in and buy something today.

Good morning!
39 degrees and soaking wet! Going to be another grey day, probably not do much other than a grocery run.
Semper Fidelis.

-10F and will be below zero for lows the next four days. Then above zero and above freezing for highs. Okay I’ve experienced enough of Wisconsin’s winter and can live with spring anytime.
I’m two weeks shy of being here for one year. I’m going to celebrate by taking a two week trip to Texas.

Morning, 25 and feels like 16 with this 9 mph breeze.
Humidity is up 97%, and the high might make 37.
Gonna keep a fire going and may do some loading.

Sure did. I got them pulled, got the scales working correctly and loaded a couple hundred rounds of 357.
158 grain Keith Hunter lead bullets, 6 grains of Unique.
I plan to shoot them with my Henry Yellow Boy when I get to Arizona. My friends tell me there are several
shooting ranges near where we'll be staying.

43 this rainy morning .... predicted high of only 44 .... that's most certainly better than the icy weather moving through the country west and north of us .... Maureen has noon medical appointment in Cary, a town northwest of us, where you can't tell when you cross out of Raleigh and into Cary ... yesterday I mentioned 3 of our family vehicles were in the shop .... our 2000 Buick Park Avenue needed a new Mass Airflow Sensor which proved to be an expensive gizmo .... my 2011 Silverado had a burned out day running light which also serves as a low beam headlight .... went ahead and replaced both .... doing so requires taking more items loose than on any vehicle I've ever owned .... the third required some warranty work .... hopefully they will all be good to go for a while

Partly cloudy this morning: a low of -2 and an expected high of 27; 4 currently. With both parents working, we had to take a granddaughter to dentist. She broke off a front tooth and had to have a root canal and have the tooth reattached. Broke the tooth off while ice skating, ouch! Everyone have a great day!

21 heading to maybe the mid 30’s and overcast. Thus begins the gray days of February. The air is gray (fog), the ground is gray (dirty snow) the cars are gray (road grime) and our moods are gray. And then….presto it’s March and the sun returns and all the dirty snow is gone. Hooray!
Not much today other than taking the dog for a romp and maybe loading up some 32 H&R’s. I have some 100 grain XTP’s ready for testing but recently picked up some 85 grain XTP’s. I’m thinking I’ll run the 85’s in 32 H&R and the 100’s in 327 Fed Mag. Planning a trip to the range Saturday to meet a guy for some CFE BLK and will be doing some shooting too.

Rainy and cold (for here) at 37° degrees. The dogs still wanted to go out this morning except the little one. He hates being in the rain. I cooked a three-egg omelet this morning with left over sausage from last night along with some toast and coffee. I went out after breakfast to get a haircut. I'm going to get some work done today but nothing taxing.

Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, 12°F, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.08 in
North northwest wind 10 to 15 mph.
A chance of flurries before 9am, with a temperature rising to near 9 by 9am,
then falling to around -2 during the remainder of the day. Wind chill values as low as -21.
Then we're plunging into the deep freeze for another couple of days.
Coffee coming up.
Stay warm folks.

the icy tail of the storm front that has left at least 6 dead in Texas and is still dumping ice on Dallas is stringing by just northeast of us .... its 37 here with today's projected high reaching 42 .... 97% chance of rain .... one of those days where I'm perfectly happy to not venture outside of the house .... breakfast has come and gone ... Folgers still on duty

39° and a fine mist to light rain falling. The ground is saturated so I'm glad today is the last day for precipitation in the forecast. There will be a slow warming trend until the next front moves through the area mid-week next week. I just had cereal with blueberries, toast and coffee.

22 heading to 34 with an overcast sky. We are just starting a warm up and Saturday’s prediction is for 43 with partly cloudy. I can get used to that but or course starting Sunday the rain/wet snow returns. Heard on the news this morning that even with our above average snow in December the January snowfall has been so light that we are now below average for the season. That’s down here in the valleys and thankfully the mountains have continued to receive snowfall and the snowpack is looking good.
