    Summer has ended!

    I know this is true north of here but this is at least two or three weeks early, we have a coat of ice on everything this morning. So I guess I will fire up the pot and cast some that I have been putting off, but wait there is Indian summer forecast calls for upper 80's by mid week.

    I hear you. Live in NE Missouri and temps are too cold for me to want to cast outside in my shed. I am taking some time off, first time in 10 years self employee you know, and was hoping to cast all week, Hope it warms up.

    Woke up yesterday to 3" of snow in Omaha. A bit early, but we had a whale of a snow storm on Halloween a few years back. Guess Al Gore must be beaming with pride at all this warming trend that we are seeing. Now that he and Jimma Carter, and Obama are all Noble Peace prize winners, we can really expect to see weather changes I guess.

    Nine inches of snow here, wind chill of minus 20 forecast for tonight.
    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.

    Woke up to 17 degrees and 2 inches of snow yesterday. (North of Denver)
    No new snow today but still in the low twenties when I woke up.

    With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
    What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?

    Well God bless ya's, your taking the heat (pun intended) for us. We are still cutting broccoli and chard from the garden. Have not had a fire going in my shop for several days. Even when I build one its just in the morning then let it go out.
    No complaints here.

    Snow is that stuff that makes all your various patterns of camo useless. We woke Sat. to 2" of the white stuff. It is finally melting today. 40 degrees and slowly climbing. Just finished a weekend gathering at the home. Spent the last 2 weeks getting it set up. Now the weather has cooled to the point I can take that next deer that foolishly walks by the stand. It was in the 70s two weeks ago (when I had an opportunity I let go by). Can't wait to get back out with the bow.

    Your right Houndog, words like snow, or worse yet, "WORK" should never be uttered in polite company. lol

    Just got my new 147 gr mold from Mihec, so I just had to cast. In the 90's here. Set up the beach umbrella and fan and cast about 2 hours.

    I wonder why they skipped Clinton? Maybe they have some cigar smokers on the board that choose and Clinton didn't send him a box of those cherry flavored cigars, or was it tuna flavored.
