    Brrr!!

    We had a range trip planned for this morning but it's a little chilly out.

    Two days ago it was above freezing, this morning it was -32 C! Hard to have fun when you're miserable.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    We don't have that problem here in New Brunswick. Around minus 30 last night with the windchill. On the upside there are no blackflies whatsoever.

    I started work at 3:20 am it was in the 60s. By 8 am I had the trucks AC with fan on low. Two fold, it keeps the windows from fogging with all the humidity. Course when it's 98 and jungle humid for 6 months in the summerI'll be wishing I was there. I love mountains cold weather ,Ice hockey .......why am I living in Florida. Did I mention I have Canadianicon blood on moms side.Love my northern cousins.[COLOR="Silver"]

    It was below freezing for days a week ago, and we even had a snow storm. (Over one whole inch!) -
    All schools closed, broken water pipes everyplace, and crashed cars lining the roads!

    It's been near 80F and humid this week, and like Dave, been running the AC some.
    (If you don't like the weather in Texas... just wait a minute!)

    Seriously, the warm humid air from the Gulf of Mexico mixing with the colder air from the North makes for some interesting sudden weather changes here in north Texas.

    Well OP, what can I say? That certainly is a character builder at the very least.

    Are the flowers in bloom there yet?

    I built all the character I needed when I lived north of the Arctic Circle for 3 years.
