We did our, last minute shopping today and had an early dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant. We're well prepared for the cold and snow predicted for our area.

Got a dremel tool, some felt “polishing” tips and some flitz. Gonna try and do some mirror polishing to some gun parts. I figure I can’t destroy to much with this setup so gonna try and give myself some relaxing informative work to keep myself occupied some.

Wise decision Mike. Looks like I will have to cancel a VA appointment if we get the snow they are forecasting as our rural areas are the last to get plowed. I'm not looking forward to the bone-chilling cold that is predicted.

Decided driving from ohio to North Carolina and back to shoot a day/night team match was probably a bad idea so I had to cancel the trip.

I forgot I had a battle grade B13 that would be a good choice.

A unity mount for my aimpoint M5s and a magpul cheek riser to try.

Another big storm is headed our way this weekend so I instructed my wife on how to straighten the edge of the snow shovel and I like to put a slight edge on it too. I also had her check that there were enough snacks and hot chocolate for me. We also made sure her treadmill was in good working order in the event that we lost power. She split enough firewood last fall to last us quite a while so we should be in good shape.

Well done Ray.

Supervising is a very intense skill Ray. So you needed to rebuild your energy by sleeping, and the Chocolate wasn’t really enough to replenish the energy you had to expend. I commend you for taking care of yourself.

Had a snow storm this weekend that took down some tree limbs. The gutter was damaged and perhaps the roof. The wife had some good snow shoveling exercise. Unfortunately I could not supervise her adequately because I took felt sleepy after having some hot chocolate and took a nap.

Good morning, Yard.

Nice and warm in Tom's man-cave as well.

It’s cold outside and supposed to stay that way for a few days. But it’s nice and warm in the Skunks Den.

Best wishes fore you and your family M/B.

Thanks Skunk. It's been an interesting couple of months. Every time a family member gets healthy, another seems to get a serious issue lately.

So sorry to hear this MB. Will be praying for all of you.

Evening Yard!

I have been out a bit. Dad had a bunch of heart attacks and was in the hospital for a while. I had to head down to Las Vegas and stay for a week to help him out. He is squared away enough to be home with his wife until round 2 or 3 for surgery.

I guess you're right.

Ordered a new leather holster for my G26 from TTGunleather. Man I like his stuff.

It’s so cold here our barks come out as a whimper.

I picked up a MoraKniv Pathfinder.

The crickets are chirping instead of Dogs barking.

No, not Verizon. We had service again quicker than they thought.

Meanwhile, how are you doing Ray ?

Do you have service from Verizon? I heard they had some outages.

We were without phone or internet service for a while today ; I suppose the strong winds blew something down over the lines. Getting ready for a blast of freezing weather.
