30 and heading to the low 40’s. Had a snow/hail/graupel event overnight, just enough to make the ground white. Just Eastern Washington State’s way of greeting the first day of spring. :roll:

Big basketball weekend for me. We have four local teams in the NCAA championship.

Gonzaga Men. Overall #1 seed
Gonzaga Women. #5 seed
Eastern Washington University Men. #14 seed (Cheney WA, 15 miles west of Spokane)
Washington State University Women. #9 seed. (Pullman WA, 80 miles south of Spokane)

All games are televised so I’ll be wearing out my recliner this weekend. :lol:

It was low 40's today and windy. Same tomorrow I think. Probably go to the range in the morning and make some more smoke....nobody there usually if it's cold and windy. :)

30 this morning but supposed to hit 60. Waffles, sausage and hot coffee while I figure out what I have to do today. Got my second shot Thursday and was feeling a little tired and achey Friday but Saturday I was fine. Checked out a Dodge Ram van yesterday but it was the small City van and that was not what I need.

29 heading to 42 and overcast. Not too impressed with spring so far. :lol:

Yesterday my neighbor asked me to stop by and help him determine where to put a short shooting range. He’s thinking Rimfire but it would be fine for centerfire too. Of course in the last few years I have sold or traded all my Rimfire handguns off. So after reading about some members success with the Ruger Marks I’m going up to my LGS today to see what is in stock. Here I go again........ :roll:

Good day yesterday on the basketball front. The Eastern Washington Eagles lost to perineal powerhouse Kansas by nine but led most of the game. They played great and even tho it ended up being a loss they have nothing to be sad about. Gonzaga as expected destroyed Norfolk by around 40 points. Norfolk played very well and like the Eagles they should hold their heads up high and be proud of their effort.

Not much of a “welcome home”. You are a man amount men if you did that unload and wash in the same day. :D

Eight deer just passed my back door. Even had a fawn in the group. When they came to the fence I put up last week they didn’t know what to do.

After church we drove by our favorite little breakfast spot just to see if we could get in.
Guess what ? We got there early enough to get right in.
This is a really small town pearl. Narrow and long with an old tin ceiling. Old signs on the walls too.
Farm fresh eggs over easy, hash browns fried crisp, country fried steak with homemade sausage gravy
and whole wheat toast washed down with really good coffee.
Total bill with the tip for both of us was $25.00. :D
The trick is to get there as quick as you can. As we left there were other church folks still waiting in line.
I don't do lines. :roll:

Just finished off a 16cup percolator of Black Silk and a banana. Started at 38* warming to 67* and sunny. A bit breezy. Going to pick up another chicken coop that the owner doesn't want anymore. I'm going to put 6 Orpingtons in it. They make a fine extra large brown egg. Will let them free range in the back yard.
