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

[Madd Hatter]

Went over to the property we just bought to clean it up some. There was a bunch of bags of concrete that was left in the rain that I had to pick up and put in the back of mine and my wife's truck. Those dang 80 lbs bags were really heavy!!!! ☹️☹️☹️☹️

[Lt. Dan]

I kill snakes and check species later.
Whatever benefit snakes offer on my property is neither needed or wanted. They would do themselves a great service to read and adhere to the 'no trespassing' signs around the perimeter.

LOL, I'm sure my wife would agree with you.

I was bitten by a Copperhead when I was a child so I have a deep rooted hatred of snakes and for decades if it slithered on the ground I completely destroyed it.  After I learned of the benefits of non-poisonous snakes I learned to distinguish the six poisonous snakes in Mississippi. If it's one of these they die, they are the copperhead, pigmy rattlesnake, eastern diamondback rattlesnake, timber or canebrake rattlesnake, cottonmouth and the eastern coral snake.  The coral snake is usually only found in the coastal counties.

I unknowingly killed a small 8" snake yesterday while weedeating. Felt sad I didn't see the little critter as it only eats bugs and is non venomous. A .410 will do wonders with snakes indeed and so will a 20ga with #8shot as I found out last year shooting a cottonmouth's head clean off at 10yds after aiming at the neck. No movement or reaction afterward by head or body, just instant death.

Good morning GTA! Happy Saturday! Up at 0200 CT. Never felt this before, but I woke up feeling claustrophobic in my CPAP. Oh well, maybe I’ll take an early nap later. I’m on my 5th or 6th cup o’ Joe. My wife is supposed to get up & get groceries soon, so she said last night. I’m going to dump my van on the ground and reload for next week. Hoping that doesn’t take too long, because Ayrabella & I are going to shoot airguns.

Are you using a full face mask or nasal pillows? Consult your doctor and bring your mask with, you may have a hardware issue unknown to you.

[Lt. Dan]

Good morning GTA! Yep it's Saturday! Up at 0430 CT. I had order 250 plated bullets for my son's .40 cal Beretta. I finished reloading those this morning. So now I can focus on air guns again. Probably gonna bring the Diana 34 out again after lunch.

If you are using a Phillips manufactured CPAP - there is a recall ( slow in action )

It was psychological… I use nasal pillows, been on it for 2+ years. It’s all good, just been extremely stressed out.

I don’t use the Phillips… I use the ResMed Airsense… it was all in my head, never had a problem before. For some reason I wanted to roll over and that was it.

Good afternoon GTA. It isn't a good day to be outside here, unless you like chilly and windy.

50° with gusty winds to 30mph, YUK

I plan to stay indoors, maybe eat some soup?

[avator]

Our outside thermometer said we topped over 90 by noon today. It was really nice in the shade with a cool breeze. I got out and at it at 7:00am and blazed the fence line and ran 275 feet of hog wire fence before I finally tapped out.
We took down 150 feet of temp snow fence we put up last year and replaced that with the hog wire to tie it in with the new back half. The rest we put along the back of the property. We had to clear the fallen branches and brush and we used the existing barbed wire fence and posts to attach the hog wire to. A couple more hundred to run tomorrow and the perimeter is 100%.
The next project will be cutting down about 2 acres of trees and under growth. All junk stuff 8" or less. I'll cut them at near grond level and burn the stumps out in a couple years.
Everything will be cut to 36" for the outdoor fire pit.

We are suppose up to the high 70's again by next Saturday, we did get some rain but not enough to make things wet or green unless you count some green weeds. Winter is my mowing season and I have only had to mow twice so far, usually by March 5th I would have mowed 6 or seven times, we had a rainy wet December but that is pretty much been it other than occasional mists.

[avator]

I mowed the first time of the season on Friday... Things are greening up quickly.
Daffodils have been out for 2 weeks.

[A.K.A. Tommy Boy]

We got about 5 or 6 inches of heavy wet snow last night.
That snow is on top of a layer of ice that came yesterday.
It is currently 27 F at my place.
I'm going to eat breakfast then go out and blow snow.
After that I'll be doing some shoveling for a final clean up.
I'm sure glad that I went up on the roof, last week, and removed the snow that was up there.
I got a feeling that I'll be getting a lot more snow before March is over.
When I get done with the snow, I may go out and do a little shooting with one of my air rifles.


Best Wishes - Tom

[Lt. Dan]

Good morning Tom. It's good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the weather conditions up there.  It's currently 63° with a high ig 83° today. We didn't have much of a winter here. I hope you and JoAnn are doing well.

[Jshooter71]

Good morning GTA! Happy Sunday! It sure is good to hear from you fellas! I got up at 0445 CT. Today is my wife, Andi’s (Andrea) birthday. She’s singing at Ch**ch today, so I’ll drive her and drop her off early. The girls are staying home, everyone’s so sneaky around here for birthdays, so I don’t know what they’re planning. I took my wife out for dinner on Friday because I thought we had small group in the evening. I’ll get to come back home before Ch**ch & find out what the girls are doing.

SILLY WET @ Diablo

Hi, Tom.  It is certainly good to hear from you.  You were missed!

[Lt. Dan]

Good morning GTA! Yesterday it was super windy, so much that the pellets fired from my Diana 34 Classic in .177 were drifting 3/4" to the left.  At one point I actually wondered if my scope has moved but I waited till after the wind calmed and she was hitting dead on. I have to concentrate so hard with this rifle for some reason but when I do it will stack 'em.  During the windy part of the day I did a little maintenance on 3 of my 4 spinner racks and started adding spinner to a fifth rack.

I have a headache this morning and I have decided to stay home and stream ch**ch services and ZOOM our Bible Fellowship class. This afternoon I will decide what to shoot. I'm thinking the R7 - .177. I hope everyone has a pleasant day. 

Good morning John, be sure to tell Andi I said Happy Birthday.  Y'all have a great day.
