I'm not the best speller either, I rely quite a bit on spell check but you can fairly often spell the word you meant incorrectly but it is an actual word so spell check doesn't catch it.
Well, I really have no excuse because I spent five years in college studying that same thing. I just never went into practice.

49 on its way to 63 with a huge rain front due to get here in about an hour .... once it gets here, they say it is supposed to hang around all day .... we got a call to go to our 6 year old grandson's school and pick him up .... they are adjusting some of his meds, hopefully that's about all there is to it .... breakfast is history, Folgers is still very much in the present and immediate future

A brisk 43° here this morning. The temperature hasn't warmed up much from earlier today. I cooked eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for breakfast.

28 and looking at a big climb all the way up to 31 or so. Friday comes in with a forecast of snow leading to another cold spell. Thankfully this one is only supposed to last 3-4 days and then temps will be more normal. There’s a hint of a more substantial snow threat next week coinciding with the warm up.
Not much on tap today other than we may make a trip to the Spokane Valley to take a look at some pontoon boats just for the heck of it.

Fair, 3°F, Humidity 78%, Barometer 30.05 in
Sunny, with a high near 15. Wind chill values as low as -12.
Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming south southwest in the afternoon.
Coffee, cookies are being enjoyed.
It's a good day to work inside and reload some ammo.

Good morning, sounds like a plan coop, whatcha reloading for today?
Thinking I may load some more 45 colts later.
It was 37 when I got up and only suppose to go up one degree.
I may take the 41 and go for a little walk.
The barometric pressure is 30.20 and rising, which usually means the deer will be moving.
So some say.

Got til the end of the month.

I'm pulling and reloading a batch of 357s. My scales were messed up and there's not enough powder.
I pulled a couple and confirmed that they were loaded way too light with my electronic scale. There's always
the problem of the bullet not clearing the barrel or have you ever heard the term, "detonation"? That's
when there is too little powder and the mix causes a huge explosion that can blow a gun up.
Either way, they need to be reloaded.

About 18F now with an inch of new snow then the temps will get down to -16F in the next few days. Happiness is a warm Henry.

29 heading to 34 and overcast. A little bit of snow coming in tomorrow then cold. Sunday is forecast to be -5 to -15 windchill with an actual temp in the single digits to the teens. Sounds like a great day to watch some football. I’m getting low on firewood, the cold temps this winter have had me running a fire all day.
Not much going on today other than later this afternoon the dog goes to the vet to get the staples removed from his belly. He is healing very well and the incision is nice and clean with no redness. The vet should be pleased.
