Morning all
Tim, glad she went to bed well.
Sue, Kimberly was a clicked box error. A mass mailing. I told them they should have sent out another notice explaining it. When I explained my thinking she was in complete agreement.
Andy, hope you feel better.
Snoope, might as well put it all out there in one shot.
Chris, don't understand myself sometimes how those numbers work. I do know hard work and moving burns it like fuel stored In a fuel tank. maybe you need to clean out your "injector" for more "flow".

 

Good Morning!

 

Good morning all, next to the last day of the work week for me. Getting there!

Back in March picked up a 1949 16 ga. Ithaca 37 for grouse hunting. It is almost identical to the 37 I grew up. Been shooting it most of the summer at clays and having a blast. About 2 months ago decided to refinish the wood and just did the final rub out cut it kind of close time wise but it is now ready. I'll have the metal reblued after hunting season.

Before:


After:






The hunting coat was my grandfathers who introduced me to hunting, the 37 and 16 ga.


Was about 30 years ago that my grandfather passed away and I was deployed overseas and couldn't make it back for his funeral. Couple months later when I was stateside went to see my grandmother who lost the will to live once grandpa passed and was in the hospital. Talking with her she said that they had got married during the depression and learned that you don't need much in life except for each other. I asked her if grandpa had ever wanted any material things. She was quiet and finally said a hunting coat. He had saved for one and left it in the car when he was hunting once because it was warm and someone stole it. I asked why he didn't lock the doors and she laughed and said cars didn't have locks on them back then. This is the coat that replaced the one that was stolen.

 

Love in so many ways. I was born to older parents that went through the depression. My mom loved watching The Waltons but he wouldn't watch it. He said had lived through it. He didn't talk about it but I learned later that he tried to save my grandfathers farm after he died but wasn't able to. Part of it is now under Lake Keowee. He died when I was 17 and I really wish I could sit down and talk with him now.

 

Good Morning Everyone

Cooler below normal temps starting today and by the weekend should be no warmer than 80 degrees . Possibility of more afternoon and evening t storms just like yesterday

 

After 20 days in September of 92 degree (or higher) temps, it FINALLY cooled off. 68 for a high today. It was 51 yesterday morning and 54 this morning. Scattered rain showers starting yesterday through Saturday. Gonna light up the burn pile on Friday evening. The wife and I, along with a few friends will be sitting around the fire and relaxing! Love me some fall weather! There's enough tree limbs, etc, in the pile so that it'll burn for 4 to 6 hours most likely. Gonna toss a match into it around 8PM.
