Saw two separate businesses in our little town with the same window paintings today.... "Happy Fall Y'all".

Fall, Winter and Spring in lower Alabama are awesome for shooting.
You can actually breathe the air instead of chewing it.
The temps do manage to fall below C02 friendly but pumpers, PCP and thumpers are the hits of the times.
Reactive targets wear fur and feather and lead fills the air like rain drops.
Strings of light illuminate the path to the paintballs, spinners, beer cans and paper.
The sounds of schoolboy and schoolgirl giggles grow louder and louder as the groups get smaller and smaller.
Cheap guns shooting cheap pellets.... what could be better?

Happy Fall Y'all !!!

You wax nearly poetic at times, Bill. That was nice.

Why thank you Thomas, those thoughts just came to me as I was daydreaming here at my desk at work.

i was at Farm & Fleet last week and they already have Christmas trees and decorations on the shelves. i didn't see anything for Halloween or fall, so they have had it out back in June.

now i wonder if i missed all the ice fishing sales?

In Ohio,... Fall is 100% my favorite time of year,.. followed by Spring. Summer can be oppressive. Winter is ok if you have a 4WD,.. when needed.

Born and raised in Ohio... 2 blocks from Lake Erie.... I know the feeling.

Okay Bill, that explains the ordering 12 tins at a time..."Happy Fall Y'all!"

My wife picked up a wall hanging decoration that says just that, "Happy Fall Y`all". We live in northern Michigan where it was forty-seven all day yesterday. It must have appealed to her southern roots. Anyway it is here and I am waiting on a ten cord load of firewood for the first half of what follows. That does sort of temper the excitement.

It's 69° on my patio this morning. Sitting in my blind, drinking coffee, waiting on another tree rat to appear. Two in the tree, no make that one in the tree now, other one is DRT on ground.

Squirrels 0 / Parrus 1

Now the waiting game. Almost chilly sitting on my cargo shorts and t-shirt.

CORRECTION:
NONE IN THE TREE AT THE PRESENT. 2 DEAD SQUIRRELS ON THE GROUND

Indeed, Fall Equinox is Sept 22. Then, nighttime really will start to be longer than the daytime.

Yes, the fall is probably the best weather in L.A. Less yellow flies to deal with. I miss Pensacola.

The nights and mornings is starting to feel like fall here, but the day time reminds you that its still summer.
I took the day off today and was working outside, and, Man, I was sweating buckets! Luckily, it was only about 80, but that humidity was like 90%!
The early morning started off great though, and I'd actually enjoyed a cup of joe by the fire pit.

Congrats Lt. Dan, a two fer... I too nailed a tree rat today with my new Akela, while in full camo at the WMA, covered in bug spray (knats) and sweat. Only 88 degrees today and partly cloudy with a slight breeze.... come on FALL

The kids gave me a Cabelas gift card as a retirement present, so now I can outfit myself with the latest fashions...

Finally ! Now as of tomorrow I can shoot bunnies, squirrels, turkeys, crows, morning dove, and deer, in WI, geese too but I do not hunt them due to work vs time.

Living in coastal South Carolina I've been shooting in oppressive heat and humidy. Shirt and even underwear soaked after a couple of hours on my backyard range. Cool temps and lower humidy will sure be appreciated and enjoyed.
