Wow, somebody left the north door open.  it’s -3* here right now in SE Ks.  The weather channel says it’s 18* where my daughter is in Dillon, Mt.

PETA has been crying about that for years.  They are blind to reality.

Well, the groundhog saw his shadow so I guess we have six more weeks of winter.  The news article said his predictions haven’t been very accurate but neither are our weather people around here.

BRRRRR.  So far we’ve not gotten down to zero here.  Close though.

It’s been snowing lightly all night and it’s about 4-5″ deep.  This is the most snow I’ve seen since before I retired almost seven years ago.  The powers that be are asking everybody to stay off the roads.

I’m glad I’m retired from the electric company.

We got lucky with the storm and was just on the south edge of it here.  Got a little ice on the windshields and then a dusting of snow.  The gravel road in front of my house does look a little slick.  I’ll find out when I go get the mail.

The timber I hunt in is thick enough I don’t need binoculars.  I use a Dawgware quiver that has two pockets and carry the items I need.

Small first aid kit, fire starter and ball of lint, paracord, signal light, compass, granola bars, small water bottle, license.  At my age I have an In reach I carry on my belt along with my cell phone.  I still hunt through the woods and use the deadfall trees as a seat to hide in for a blind.  I carry three broadheads and one target point in the quiver and my favorite selfbow weighs just 14 oz total.  I go as light as possible.

I never tried the Deadheads.  Pearson made some good equipment and I have two of his bows in my collection.

My favorite broadheads were the Muzzy Matadors.

Back at ya Richard.  We had a good time.  Now I need to rest up some more.

Thanks for the book report Richard.  I am an American history fan.  Not the ‘Columbus sailed the ocean blue’ era but the history before and after the civil war and native American times.

I have picked up a couple of books over the years that, although somewhat informative, I couldn’t finish them because of the writing style of the author.

I was down in southern Arizona a few years back on a border watch OP and one evening while sitting around the campfire I saw an Iridium flare flash twice.  Only time I’ve seen one.

One of the other guys was watching the sky and said “What the heck was that!” so I explained it to him.  Everybody was looking up after that.
