Looking like summer is not far off down here along the gulf coast. Getting warm and muggy. I a-thinking that winter is but a quick and fleeting memory.

Gotta dig out the straw hat soon.

Well, I can see by the calendar that you are correct sir, summer is not far off.
But............today I am sitting at home due to the W3G shoot being cancelled due to foul weather. That would include a drive through snow for me besides. I have to drive over the grapevine to get there and there has been a lot of snow up at the higher elevations. West coast storms the past few days have been a mixed blessing. Moisture that is needed and on the down side I have heard it about ruined the National Championships, Winter Range, in the Phoenix area. Too bad, but then again when it is August and 100+ degrees, no one will remember March weather.
It does give me a chance to get ahead on reloading chores though and that is about the best I can say of a day with no match. :grin:

I just got done loading 800 rounds of rifle and pistol plus tackling shotshells.
Spent last two days casting 40# of lead into .45 Colt bullets. As I type this just got done lubing all those bullets. Been a fun 3 days here on the Gulf Coast.

This week-end we're supposed to "cowboy," but weatherman is calling for a bit of rain. Way too early to start worrying if he's right. Thursday night I'll take another look.

Winter may be a fleeting thought down in the gulf states ranger but up here it is snowin' and blowin' and I think we got a couple of inches of snow last night. I'm hopin' this is Mother Nature's last gasp for the season. The snow makes it reeally difficult to find spent brass on the range (lololol)................. Mikey.

This past weekend was perfect shooting weather here in the Houston area, not too cold, not too hot. Went and visited at Trailhead (Texas Historical Shooting Society out of Columbus, TX) as many of our friends were shooting there and some good vendors were also there. I understand that Friday was a little cold and a bit windy, but Saturday was beautiful. :-D
