Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Mags]

39, high overcast. Colder spell supposed to start tomorrow. PGtips tea, honey on toast and yogurt cup.

[Hatchdog]

Woke up to 29 and it’s currently 25 and the temp is expected to continue to drop as the day progresses. We are on the western edge of the big chill hitting the upper mid-west so no temps like Coop and Sir Henry are showing. THANKFULLY! Beautiful blue sky right now and the pup and I need to head out and shovel the inch of snow that fell overnight.

Went to the boat show yesterday and the prices are:

Low teens here for a few days. Need to go out and replace the heat lamp bulb for Leia, my older goat. She definitely appreciates it, she'll spend the night laying under it when it gets very cold. She kinds of hogs it, Buster doesn't get much heat from it but he's younger and the cold doesn't bother him as much.

[Mags]

Cold winds now blowing in from the east down through the Columbia River Gorge.

You're killing me Al. We leave on the 14th for our southern tour. Unfortunately the Dear Wife does not have us
coming to Aransas Pass this time. My very good old friend that used to always be there had a stroke and is living
just north of Houston. From there we have reservations at a RV Resort north of Tucson. Then she just has to be
home by April 1. Happy wife, happy life.

Aint nothin wrong with Tucson Coop. Spent alot of time there in my younger days. Grandparents are buried there. I like Tucson and have thought about trying that area at times but the wife likes the water. I just like Texas. People here are just friendly and I feel like Im in the USA here. Unlike Colorado. Dont mess with Texas.

I agree with your wife Al. I too like Texas best, but, happy wife, happy life.

33 on its way to 58 with rain supposed to move in late today .... our 6 year old grandson spent the night with us and, as usual, awoke asking for pancakes ..... Maureen has a pan that makes four three inch diameter pancakes with an animal face on them .... this morning he had 5 of them, no butter, no syrup, no nothing on them ..... don't believe I could do that

[RanchRoper]

-40 wind chill this morning. No shooting today.

[Vaquero]

Naw, Jim I couldn't. I like a little butter and some syrup.
And most of the time I'll have an egg fried over easy on Top.
But never dry.

The big chill is here, woke up to 5 above and it’s up to 8 now. Should see 21 later and it’s a bright sunny day out there. Winds are light now but it was blowing pretty good yesterday making for below zero wind chills.

No plans to go outside today other than maybe up to the LGS in Deer Park. Washington State is trying to put an “assault” weapon ban in place and so far it has passed out of committee on party lines. If this happens in the general legislature it will become law. So my wife is pestering me to pick up another semi-auto before this happens. I’m good on .223/5.56 so I’m thinking about a 300 Blackout or maybe a PCC in 9mm.

Chill is here too though not as severe further east. This morning 29, sunny and windy. Predicted to hit 20 tonight.
First breakfast: Tea, honey on toast and yogurt cup.
2nd breakfast: Scrambled egg, hash browns, lemon scones and coffee.
edit: added bacon.

Driving to church this morning it was ten below but the wind was light.
Came home and had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. It's up to four above now.
Family and friends are coming out this afternoon for a bon fire. I just came in from moving some
snow and ice back a ways so we can get closer. I got the old snow plow out to do it. I've got a pile of
brush, leaves, and old lumber to burn. It should make a hot fire.
Us Minnesoootans embrace Winter. If you just sit in the house all season you'll never feel right. Fresh air
is the cure even if it is cold.

Love a good deep breath of cold crisp air. So refreshing!

I guess I'm a little further from the cold front, 31 right now and only got down to 22 last night. Supposed to be colder the next few days and then warm up some.

I'm thinking I may pick up a .22 semi-auto, probably a Ruger 10-22. I don't think it's on the banned list but who really knows for sure?? Also the bill is a emergency bill so it goes into affect as soon as Insley signs it.

Partly cloudy skies today: The low is -12 and a high of 4; it is currently 3, wind chill is -15. Not much today, mass, brunch and visit with the Danes. Everyone have a great day!

Im glad folks enjoy the cold and forge ahead... while i continue with the forge ahead part, i dont like the cold! But then, im hard to please. (i dont like the hot either.)... i will admit with the cold a good part of the time you can dress up enough to be reasonably comfortable when you are out moving about, where with the hot, (when its really hot), you cant be good out doing stuff. Heck, even if you were a crazy nudist, when its really hot, i think you would still be swelltered if you were out trying to do stuff. The only escape would be a shade tree , a breeze ,and little or no movement on your part..... so to my way of thinking either extreme is a hinderance to comfort,( and my days projects). So today, since its cold, i put on the big coveralls and forge on ahead. (And am i thankful for the inventer of coveralls! ) And for a good cup of HOT coffee!!! Have a good day folks , whatever you opinion of the cold be.
