"Luck don't live out here. Wolves don't kill the unlucky deer; they kill the weak ones..." Jeremy Renner in Wind River
Two days ago, we had smoke so thick the visibility was about 1/3 of a mile. I've never seen smoke this thick in eastern South dakota. Feel sorry for the people that are living close to these fires.
I have a lot of ash in the air today. There is a fire burning on the other side of the lake, 20 homes lost so far.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

73 currently with 77%rh and sprinkling lightly (rain gauge says .03" since midnight) I'll take that over the 103 we had yesterday - whew.
Hot for sure, and smoky too. We finished harvest at Endicott, WA yesterday and moved to Palouse (Kamiak Butte area) today. Good day for a move as it sprinkled rain most of the morning. Actually it poured on us a couple times. Forecast looks good so we should be sawing wheat down by about 11 AM tomorrow. The smoke definitely makes for some pretty sunrises and sunsets.
