Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[bReTt]

Rolled out of bed 0627.  Milled about in the dark until I noticed I had every part of my body covered with something so I stepped out of the room and turned on Christmas lights.  Reheated some coffee, grabbed a pillow, a heating pad and the iPad to settle into a folding camp chair and get started by reading then surfing while waiting for the rest of the folks to get up and start moving.  It is 33 outside and damp so it feels much colder than it is.  At this moment (it could change) it looks like it will be a mostly clear sky and it's perfectly calm at the moment. 

The struggle is what to shoot?  Springers?  Pcp?  Something else?  Pcp is so easy and quiet.  Springers are grounding and pose more of a challenge.  Hand pumping and loading magazines is no big deal.  Don't know why people complain about it.  I think it's all just part of the process and sort of warms me up to the shooting.  Those first few shots from a springer can be the most rewarding or the most frustrating.  I always try and shoot a cold group to see how I'm going to be shooting for the day.  Sometimes I just shoot 5-10 shots cold.  If the group is tight I might move on to another spring gun.  If it's loose I need to get it tight so I'll stick with it until I can or it gets too frustrating.  Generally my springer days are good ones.  Maybe I've just learned to lower my expectations for myself and good is good enough?  Ha ha ha!

My wife received a text at 01:30 CST from some unknown number. The text was a screenshot of a renewal of a prescription plan. Weird! I  tried but couldn't get back to sleep.

So I got up and dressed, went to the kitchen opened the refrigerator door and stared into the frig,  pulled out some stuffed olives and a glass of milk. Even weirder...

Been on GTA reading a couple of PMs different members sent.

The eve of Christmas eve.  Still waiting for the HW50 coming from fwbsport.  Probably will not arrive till midweek next week. 

USPS was supposed to deliver a new one-piece mount and scope Monday but they didn't, if it doesn't arrive today they will refund my money.

USPS still showing one of our Christmas gifts OUT FOR  DELIVERY for the third day in a row. Strange, that item was delivered last week.

Temperatures today in the mid 60s with a 20% chance of rain. Rain forecast for tonight.

I'm about to make a cup of coffee.

Morning Johnny,
I'm kinda known for eating non-traditional breakfast for breakfast.  LOL

Now my wife...... nope.....got to be something like oatmeal,  cereal,  eggs and toast,  bacon or sausage,  biscuits,  etc.

Me...barbecue anything,  fish or seafood cold, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, green salad,  doesn't matter.
Today was a first...stuffed olives and milk

Barbecued SPAM and toast is great.

My favorite breakfast is a rib-eye steak and I go almost all day on that and coffee. Fried chicken or pizza is also a great start!

+1 on the rib-eye.

Cold fried chicken, cold baked beans, and cold potato salad are some of my favorites also.

The "what are you doing?" thread and the "what are you eating?" thread have morphed into one!

LOL, I guess we need to start a thread entitled

 "What are your favorite breakfast foods?"

Or

"What's in your pantry?"

Good morning GTA! Slept in until about 0500 CST. Don’t know what I’m going to do today. I’m sure I’ll tink around in the garage a little. I think my wife wants a little help inside the house today. It’s supposed to continue to be really windy, so whatever she wants, I’ll give her a hand. It is Christmas Eve, Eve! I’m sure I’ll pick up a rifle here & there. It’ll be a good day.

Woke up at the radio desk, remembered i have to run into town today and pick a ton of wood pellets up for the cold spell coming in the next few days. Christmas shopping is done. Thinking of stocking up on targets for Christmas for future fun shoots.

Yeah Dude! Dry hardwood pallets are great. You guys have a woodstove I suspect.

Yup got a pellet stove to help heat the house on cold winter days. Works great! beats splitting logs when its cold out haha just throw a bag in and fire it up.

Good morning All !

I got up at 4 am and started getting things ready for the Blizzard that will be hitting my place today at noon. I just got back inside at 8 am. The snow blower is all set to go and I have plenty of gas for it. I had to re-arrange the outside Christmas lights in the yard and tarp up some other things. All the electrical junctions for the outside lights got bagged in heavy plastic bags to avoid any short circuits. Everything that was in areas that I will be blowing snow into, got moved to areas that I will not be piling up the snow with the blower. It was basically a total re-do of all the outside Christmas lighting. 

Good to go - Let it blow - Let it snow !


Best Wishes - Tom

We have one woodstove that burns logs and love the heat but a pellet stove sounds like heat without all the mess of wood. As I get MORE tired of splitting wood, after selling the both hydraulic splitters I made, a pellet stove will be our choice.

Got to bed about 2:00AM got up at 5:55AM
I put the trash and recycle cans out to the road first, which means I walked .4 miles before coffee.   
Came in, fixed my coffee, and got on the computer.

I think I might take a power nap today since I slept less than I usually do. I have Church tonight and then plan on being up late watching a movie tonight too.
