Evening all, down to 44 here right now, hit 66 today and a very pretty day. Took Lady C to lunch and we looked at a couple of sided by side scooters. Hope y'all had a great day, lifting my coffee cup to you!

27 here, up early cause I got to play taxi, good thing I can't hunt anymore, Riley thinks getting up early is BS.   He lays on the couch and pouts.

Morning all.

Safely back in MT, though the CA weather seems to be trying to follow. It's 45 today, though it did dump a half inch of white last night.

Regarding the sports ball doings on Sunday, the o Lu reason I knew it was happening was because I had to go clean a grease trap at a local sports bar before the game. I never get obligated to watch fat dudes in spandex fight over a $10 toy. Lord knows they can all afford their own at Target. But I digress.

Good to see you Roo.

31 here, was 59 yesterday, could hear the 2 wheel organ donors out trying to help with the organ shortage.   Ahyeeeeeee ah yyeeeee, ahyeeeeeeeeee. Splat.  Next thing you know there are plastic flowers and balloons along the road and everyone is posting about watching out for people doing wheelies at 100mph in the 35mph zone.

62 here right now, working of finishing off a pot of Maxwell House. Sunny today, supposed to be a little cooler the next couple of days then warm up again. Highlight of the day yesterday was getting the truck washed...when does Herd Intelligence start to kick in? Yeesh.

Thanks for the coffee, but I have to pass because (fasting)
off shortly to Labcorp, for biannual vampire visit.
I figure, while in town I'll visit the friendly LGS and then have lunch somewhere.

Major excitement, I was on the receiving end of at least 3 errant SHOTS!

Two young fellows were target shooting on their property about 350 yards to my west, three (at least) hit my home. One took out the front bay window glass, the other two are in the siding and wall, thought did not penetrate through the insulation or drywall.
The Bay window is toast though, I called the Sheriff, and they found the Suspects and they admitted they were Target practicing with 9MM & 40 Semi Autos.
It was not a malicious intent, and the Sheriff brought the two over to apologize and make restitution
(To be determined, won't be inexpensive, window is about $3500) 

[DeaconKC]

Major, thank God that no one was hurt!

[Major 2]

Thank you !

Indeed, it could have been very bad, the bullet had to cross the vacant woods across the street, not mention my street (where it could have hit a passing car) travel 120 yards back to my house
and penetrate my living room.
I found the spent 9mm bullets, Sheriff took that as evidence. At this point the Sheriff is cool, the fellows were not arrested, and he brought them around to sincerely apologias.
I was also cool & calm; I'll call insurance tomorrow to replace the window.
IF, all is well, I won't press charges, if they pay damages (they said they would in the present of the Sheriff) and I have case number.

[Delmonico]

I think in this case a mild flogging might also be in order along with a mandatory shooting safety class.

[Major E A Sterner]

I think they should be required to surrender their pistols to you as a lesson on gun safety. As well as any and all ammunition they might have.

[Major 2]

Turns out they were shooting both 9mm and a 40 cal.
The one spent bullet I found on the inside window seat was FMJ.
The jacket was separated from the lead pill I also found about a foot to the right.
It had hit the back of the couch and bounced back out.
The other two are embedded in the walls.

I'm calling today for estimates, I am guessing with labor replacing the window will be north of $3500
Repairs to the walls, maybe $400 mostly labor I'd think.
I have State Farm, I'll see what they suggest.

I don't know what if any charges will result.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

Good to hear nobody was hurt. I think a trip to the range with safety training should happen.

'Tis -8 and cloudy. "Windy. Not as cold. Mostly cloudy. Snow showers in the afternoon. Some blowing and drifting snow in the afternoon. Snow accumulation up to 1 inch. Highs in the lower 30s. South wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to southwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 45 mph in the afternoon. Chance of snow 90 percent. Lowest wind chill readings to 20 below zero in the morning."
