RE: Shooting before the cold snap hits.
12 degrees and you call that warm. Brrrrrr I think my butt would have been staying in the house. Im hearing were supposed to have a cold snap hit here next week, suppose to get down into the teens. I wish we would get some snow, but I doubt that will happen.

RE: Shooting before the cold snap hits.
I have a friend that lives in Ont. I keep saying to keep that cold Canadian air there in the winter as we will do fine with out it. You could send some in the summer when it is 94 in the shade and the humidity is about 90%. Never listens to me though.
Dave use those pre pack wipes so you don't have to take your gloves off. They fit right on the bore nice and are just damp so the gloves don't get damp.
We finally once again have enough snow so you can use the x country skis. The lazy youtes love to use those tracks and brings them right where you want them.

RE: Shooting before the cold snap hits.
If I had the kind of weather some of you guys have I'd never be shooting on the range. Might net even hunt (naw - that would never happen). Had a short sleeve shirt on for my Friday range session, but had to put a light jacket on for the Saturday session because it was down in the mid-50's.

Those are great Cayugad. I especially like the ketchup one. If that's true, you could never eat one of my grilled venison roasts.

He sits there sweating...
"Mr Madoff, where did you get the idea of paying early investors with money from new investors?
Mr Madoff replies, "Social Security"!
