November Get out and vote for your gun rights Cawfee an fixins

Out early to sling some lead, many apparently had the same idea, Range was crowded by 10AM.

Stop in at the Toy store , and grabbed a coupla more Magazines, then got Chicago dog & Ice tea... all in all a good start on the day.

Probably no toy store visits soon for me, pretty much blew that budget before Nov 8, but at least I have a better stock of powder and primers now. And a Ruger LCP, ready for our new "Constitutional Carry" law to take effect after the first of the year.

saw 5 does the other night up in the "new" section of the park the other night when making a check the lights run. my associate saw a 6 pt. buck along the sewer plant fence end of last week, a doe was on the opposite end of the fence at the same time. The assoc.'s Dad has been getting quite a few road kills in the last couple weeks, some were very large bucks. Gun season starts here the week after Thanksgiving, probably only one week in this county. Wearing a LOT of orange at the moment

I was a most of the day job with the chainsaw, yes.

We have the white stuff above 5000 here.  1 inch down low to 2 feet on the mountains.  I won't be making many trips up there until next spring. 

Raining pretty good down in town, which is annoying because I have to walk to take care of a friend's animals.  It's only a half mile, so it's too close to drive, but far enough to get you wet.

Found a few minutes for lead slinging, the new LCP's first shots.

Shot 15 rounds, function was perfect, accuracy was "minute of pizza box*". 10 rounds standing at 7 yards, then five from 20 yards, 2 handed with a rest under my elbows. Recoil was barely noticeable standing. But when you have a solid rest under the elbows, the physics of an 8oz pistol shooting a 380 becomes....apparent.

Edit: Note to self: need a bigger tarp, most of the brass missed an 8x10 tarp. Ejection is rather energetic.

I was comparing an LC9 to a Shield a week or two back.  One definitely notices the lighter pistol!

They're forecasting white stuff in town tonight.  We have to drive to the city tomorrow morning.  Over a mountain pass.  On brand new pavement.  Sounds fun...

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.

Congrats on the LCP, Pony Express. I've been thinking of getting a lighter CC pistol.

Saw quite a few birds. Only collected one.  The pup wasn't quite figured out why we are walking around in the fields.

'Tis 22 and clear. High of 32.

Night pot on the coals.

Trip over the mountain was uneventful.  None of the white stuff that low.  Up on the mountains I heard a forest service fellow saying there was 18 inches and more.

We're in fall turkey season right now.  I've got a lead on a flock, so I might toss a breadhead on the ol' recurve and try to poke one.  I don't know, though.  We've already got 4 birds in the freezer, and one on the wing.  Three of the frozen birds are over 40 pounds each.    But still...

I'm working with the dog too, Slim.  SO far, about all she's figured out is how to sit when food is involved.  It's a start.   Though, when I take her for walks around the woods near the house, she does point when we flush quail.  And she's good at tracking, even without training.

Saw more birds. I knocked one down. The dogs had to run it down.

'Tis 20 and hazy. High of 40.

Frosty this morning , grass & roof covered with it 
they claim  45°  but here in the sticks we were tad below that ..looking for 67°  High

[pony express]

M2, is that frost in Florida, or are you out on a job right now? Sounds pretty cool for Fla.

[Major 2]

Nope...on a weeks PTO, that was in the back yard this morning

Not only pretty cool for Fla. but danged early in the season too....

[Four-Eyed Buck]

We were in the 20's this morning. Waited until it got into the early 30's before we put in the lamp post for the newest home here. Muddy mess, but at least it was easy to bury the wire

[The Trinity Kid]

Went out quail hunting today.  No quail, though.  We spent too much time mudding in the old Chevy.

Got off at 12 am, was told when I got there yesterday we had a store meeting at 9am, just got back, computer draw our store got drug tested, no problem, got an extra 2 hours.

[pony express]

Cloudy here but still probably low 60s. Home grown late lunch cooking-deer tenderloin and sweet tater fries(from the garden). 2 1/2 more days of vacation bliss before I have to go back to w.......nope, I'm not even gonna type the word. Didn't go anywhere(except to a deer stand). Filled all three Landowner deer tags, 2 left to cut up and put in the freezer. Otherwise just piddling around with a chainsaw or brush hog.

[Delmonico]

Got me a hunk of top round with onions in the oven, "do you want fries with that?"  LOL

[Silver Creek Slim]

Evening y'all.
Got back 'bout an hour ago. Had a good time. The pup is figuring out why we were there.

Off verk until Monday.

Had a dusting of white overnight, but 'tis sprinkling and 36. "Not as cool. Light rain and snow. Areas of fog. Little or no additional snow accumulation. Nearly steady temperature in the upper 30s. East wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 90 percent."

Second cup of coffee and a Canadian bacon on a piece 'o' toast later....I'm seeing it warm up  56° to 77°f High

Guessers say 80°-81° tomorrow and Friday then a tad cooler on the weekend....

[Silver Creek Slim]

Fried up 5 pounds of bacon for breakfast. None of it is left.
