I haven't been on as much lately - mostly because of writing. The current book is going pretty well & I'm caught up for the moment.

Other than that, my long lost brother expressed an interest in hunting turks so I made a few calls and nailed down permission near where Dad used to live. We had a good time catching up, but no turks to be seen... or pheasants... or grouses... Such is hunting.

Weather hasn't been the greatest here = chilly and then some. +6 this morning which beats the -11 two day ago. Well, it's winter, and what we've got here can't hold a stick to what Doc has in the Frozen North. But we're a little closer to spring, so we got that going for us!

I took Flop Ears out for a hike this morning, but snow was a little too deep & Shep, the wonder Dodge is only 2WD so back to town for Sunday morning deli breakfast. Biscuits-n-gravy for me - order of bacon for the mutt. Now she's flopped on the couch licking her whiskers. It's a hard life! ;) :bigrin:

Stay warm, Friends! SW

sounds like you are making good used of time in spite of the weather , shame about the poor hunting but as you say spending time together is more than half what that was about , nice that you got the opportunity , nice your back too :D

been trying to stay indoors if possible here - moved snow when its come [coming again today ] and trying to stay warm , we always get these spells but every year it gets harder to tolerate them ,

We hit the magic -40 here about 10 days ago - minus 39.9 C which is close enough to 40, which is the identical value intersecting point of Fahrenheit / Celsius.

We have about 18" of the white stuff on the ground now. Maybe we'll get normal water levels this year so I can do some proper walleye-ing :P

Currently back to -10 F or there abouts, which is almost normal for this time of year.
I am itching for warmer weather. Have a new .177 bbl to wring out at the 50 yd mark on that new pumper air rifle I got last fall...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

yup - and our democrat just declared for president in a snow storm at near zero on all the usual emphasizing global warming , WHY are we not 'tar and feathering and running out of town on a rail' all these elixir merchants - they are phoneys trying to steal our money , selling us false remedy and blue sky , they promise all will be fixed but only further problems , hardship and illness result ,

socialism has never worked anywhere in the history of the world , communism proved this over and over , it only provided the killing fields in cambodia , the gulags in the soviet union , the concentration camps in nazi germany and the vast number of "disappeared" in south america , it has never provided a single instance of the utopia they sell or the "equality" they profess - it gives a severe class system of haves and have nots much like a feudal days we escaped centuries ago , why would anyone want to go back there ?
