A bit warmer this morning at 48 with mid 60’s expected later. Overcast now but the sun is supposed to come out after it burns off the cloud layer. Nice weather expected all week with sunshine and temps in the 60’s and lower 70’s. But we do have frost warnings for Monday and Tuesday mornings.

Went up to the property yesterday and got some winterization work done. Then went for a hike up to where the fire was. We got to the logging road behind our place which I expected to be the fire line but it didn’t burn to the road, at least in the area we walked. Funny, the firefighters cut a new road in between our property line and the existing logging road. Not sure why or where it goes but the next time I have my UTV up there I’ll drive it out and find out. It’s real silty and would be a very dusty ride now so hopefully there will be some rain soon.

We were thinking about heading up there for several days but it’s so overgrown with Canadian Thistle (a noxious weed) that the dogs would get so full of stickers we decided to wait until next year after I get it mowed.

Took a couple of rifles and a couple of revolvers along but didn’t have time to shoot. My range is in need of some clean up and the time required to do this plus set up and tear down the stands wasn’t available. Had the dogs at doggy care thus had a time line to get home.

Interesting, the DNR folks came into the property and scraped the grass/weeds from around the building and from around all the poles set in the ground, both power and support poles for the open shed. Pretty impressive they would do so.

41 this morning but a nice day is expected with sunshine and 60’s. More of the same this week other than maybe a couple of mornings with frost. Winters coming…

Speaking of winter, yesterday I started cutting up the trees my neighbor gave me. This wood will be for winter 26/27, this winter’s wood is all cut and split. Put a nice dent in it yesterday focusing on the larger logs to put those rounds on the bottom of my stack. My body feels it, these trees were just cut in the last month and have a high water content making them very heavy.

This is what I got done yesterday…

Just think Hatch if you moved to the south all that work would be non existent and you could shoot more

51' and hazy sunny this morning. Haze should burn off in a little while and maybe get up to 72. Looks like rain next weekend.

Good morning, thought I'd pop in for a quick moment.
It's 70 here this AM, with 93% humidity, with a 4 mph breeze. Says the high only going up to 77.

I put a bid in on another Redfield Revolution scope, 2-7x33 last week and won it last night.
That'll be #4, these were made by Leupold several years ago and have been discontinued for a good while now.
I have a good friend up in WI and he says the clarity of these are on par with his VX3 scopes.
IDK that as I don't have a VX3.
Anyway I'm off to work this morning.
Depending on some rain coming it could end up being a short day.

33 our there as I type this. Brrrrr no frost yet. The official Deer Park temp according to the weather guy is 26, I keep my 33 thank you! I have to make a run to Deer Park here in a few minutes so I’ll watch my dash thermometer. High in the mid 60’s with sunshine forecast. Warmer every day this week with 70’s by Friday. Then maybe some rain over the weekend, sure hope so as we need it badly.

Got more logs cut up yesterday but only worked a half day. Came in to watch the Seattle Seahawks lose a football game due to stupid play and then watched the Seattle Mariners baseball team win. They are 1-1 with Detroit and today is a travel day to Michigan. Go M’s…

47' and sunny this morning. Maybe 76' later today and tomorrow 78'. Then rain the rest of the week.

We have snow on the mountains now. Mornings just below freezing. Had a great competition shoot last weekend. Muzzleloader and black powder cartridge shoot. I took first place, only guy with a flintlock against the Quigley rifles. Rolling blocks, winchesters, etc.
Had a great time. I picked up a full size 2 yr old bull buffalo hide to sleep in at camp. Super warm. Winter camp will be a lot nicer this year!

Coffee and pastries with vets this AM. There is a group called "The Yellow Ribbon Society" that
does this for vets. They do a lot of charitable events as well. Next month we will go to a vets
formal dinner with our wives and it's really well done.

RR, saw on the news this morning there is snow heading your way on Saturday. Enjoy the new Buffalo hide.

Here on this side of the Rockies it’s a warm 37. But, a high of 71 is in the works to make another beautiful October day. RR’s snow on Saturday will hopefully be some rain for us, sure hope so. Nice days expected between then and now.

Stepped away from my wood cutting yesterday to help Mrs hatchdog with some inside projects. It was hard to be indoors looking out at a beautiful day that was calling me to come out and “play”. I’ll be back to it this morning but I’m expected this afternoon to drive her out to the Spokane Valley to MAYBE firm up her decision of some new flooring she wants to put into the house. Decisions are not her strong suit.
