It was 37° this morning on the dog walk. Only two degrees warmer at this writing. I cooked some hot cereal, toast and coffee for breakfast. I've got a full day of repairs ahead of me.

we have a rather foggy, drizzly 51 degree morning .... they say it should get up to 62 with scattered rain throughout the afternoon .... yesterday I noticed the driver's side daytime driving light on my 2011 Silverado had failed .... the same bulb serves as the low beam headlight .... its an OEM bulb that has never been replaced .... frankly, I was surprised when I opened the hood and looked to see what is involved in replacing the bulb .... I couldn't see any easy way to do so .... YouTube confirmed that doing so ain't easy .... we've already dropped it off at a local independent garage for them to replace both driving lights .... we've also picked up our daughter's Suburban that we took to the local Chevy dealer yesterday .... its good to go .... as is our tradition, when one has an issues, the others will follow .... our 2000 Buick Park Avenue is having issues and goes to a different independent garage this afternoon

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. :roll:

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. :lol:

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

Good morning all. Glad we're not in the South yet. Two weeks.
-2°F, Humidity 84%, Barometer 30.18 in
Mostly sunny, with a high near 18. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph.
Coffee, cookies and then feed the turkeys.
Nothing much on tap today.

-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.
Hey coop, did you get all those 357's pulled down?

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. :D
