That major storm somehow parted around us up in the NW corner of Wisconsin, but sure poured it on all around us. Reports 70 mph winds and of 20 foot high waves at Duluth, 66 mph wind at Minneapolis/St. Paul. Looking forward to Spring's return.

Been a rough Winter for sure. We are just inches away from setting an all time snow record. Close. This last snow is so wet you can't really plow it. It just flows back in place, so we drive through it. The drive under it is getting all rutted. Lots to repair when the weather finally clears. July 4th maybe. ;)

Meanwhile my contractor and I have been working on my new shop. All insulated now, metal sheeting on the walls and ceiling, slotted board on the back wall for shelves, and now to install the 50,000 btu furnace and we're done. Then I have to build some work benches and move back in. Getting excited.

Rain here this morning, I guess all this April showers should sure enough bring May flowers. But,
man am I sick and tired of it.
Due to get more tomorrow I believe. :evil:

Not 18 months worth here, but it darn sure seems like it. :lol:
But it sure has been a wet 2019 so far here.
It won't be long I'm sure and we'll be wanting some.
I would just like a nice Sat. or Sun. with a Sunny sky and 75+ degrees, so I can enjoy a little scooter time. :D

40's today. Gun show was ok, number of bolt rifles to levers was about 100 to 1. Thought this was cowboy country? Anyhow, didn't buy anything, just wandered around. Only 2 revolvers too. Tomorrow I will get to the range and shred some targets.

RR beat my day, as it has rained all day here.
Most gun shows around are over rated with a lot of over priced stuff.
But it would have been something to do.
At one that comes through here, I can find some decent priced loading supplies from time to time.
