@Nodakplowboy Is it true the four seasons in ND are June, July, August, and Winter?
The guy I have to share my office with grew up in Fargo.

East of the Red the Minne-sota folks say there's 2 seasons; road construction and winter. I like your comparison better.
Several years ago when we had a house full of little kids, there was an unusually cold summer. Turned the heat off first part of July, back on latter part of August. Kids and the Child Bride were freezing. Short AC season, looong heating season. I heat with LP,currently selling for $2.10. Going to be a long winter.

-7 in Bemidji right now. Tomorrow, the high is supposed to be -6.
And we’ll be fishing until Saturday!
A little moisture in the air letting the Smokies show how they got their name.
Out on Upper Red Lake. Temp outside is a few degrees above zero, but it’s a balmy fifty in the shack. 
And, cooking some venison polish on the heater.

Looks like a nail puller to me too.I found this in my barn today. Anybody know what it is or what it's used for?
Extended:
Reminds me of a dent puller, maybe for a model Tor for fencing like a staple puller......
Looks like Crescent and Bridgeport brands exist. Slide hammer nail puller. Did a search for "antique nail puller" and pulled up lots.

I'm guessing it's for cutting fence wire.
Put the hook under the wire, push against the foot, Jaws close, wire cut.
Staple puller I'd betI found this in my barn today. Anybody know what it is or what it's used for?

High winds and fire are a bad deal with drought we've had. Snow in the forecast but no help right now. The town of Superior, Colorado is being evacuated.

Wanna start a mall crawlers club of America? Asking for a friend
Nail/staple puller. Place jaws over staple/nail and slide handle to pound down a bit then pry toward small lever to remove.
Nail puller. Have rebuilt many a deck using one. Great tool, one of the best.I found this in my barn today. Anybody know what it is or what it's used for?

“Ringing” in the new year a bit early before lunch today...
@tnichols;
I'm glad to see the snow we Fed-Exed to you folks arrived. Enjoy, you are most welcome!
Now if I could just figure out how to ship minus cold and windchill.

Received the shipping notice for that a couple days ago. Sunday delivery no less! You’ve outdone yourself. Last edited:
I will never wear shorts to a rifle range again no matter how hot.
At a NRA style event guy next to me was shooting a Garand with some hot Austrian ammo.
My HXP brass coming out of my Garand was warm but not insane. His Austrian shit was coming out of the rifle annealed.
I rolled on one of his hot brass pieces on the inside of my right leg but he knee. I had a three inch brand just about all summer......dumb.
I could write a short book on left side barricade stories (handgun) as an RO and participant.
Probably the best was ROing a gal as she was left side barricade. Mid string, she stopped, cleared out and holstered rather quickly with no commands from me. Then screamed and ripped her shooting glasses off (she was not wearing a ball cap). 9mm brass was laying on her right eyelid. She handled it like a stud. Very safe and professional.

-7 outside but it’s about to heat up in here. New Year’s Eve Buck & Ball. Some of the best PRCA stock to ring in the new year.
Cold. Very, very, cold.
But when we checked in, the lady at the front desk gave us a room that someone was currently in so she gave us a lakeside view.
Glad they weren’t in the room when we walked in.
The fishing wasn’t great, the weather was miserable, but I’m definitely coming back to this part of the state for more fishing.

First time in years I’m not hunting today. Yesterday was 60 today 18 we had freezing rain and sleet would have been a great day. Inside with the little guy.
My grandfather was the one to teach me to reload , you guys have continued the education.
First time I used the ideal to put in primers I had to use two hands to seat it. I still use only ideal set for the 300wbymag. The 270 dies stopped giving me good brass .
The table was my grandfathers all holiday meals were at this table. Also learned 21 and rummy at this table lots of great memories.

Ok, ok! Stop with the shipments. Coming down at about an inch and hour and has been since noon. Guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow
Pictures or it didn't happen.
Cold front came through N Texas a few hours ago 70 degrees to 34 in 30 minutes.
Obligatory stew on the stove now.

Some 22 blasting today with the 457. Wind was a steady 8mph with gusts hitting 18ish. Blowing almost perfectly inline with bullet travel so very little impact on windage. Balmy 77 degree weather here
Standby, I’ll see what I can come up with
Looking out onto the deck. @schroed62 honey hole towards the Ammo Eater. Not the best pic, but you get the idea. Probably 6-8” of new. Temp hanging in there at 10 degrees.
I concur that is snow.
Have 25 degrees and flurries in the next county.
Not much of a comparison but remember last year when cold and a 4 inch snow shut the State of Texas down.
What an embarrassment.
I hope they put some insulation on our electric plants. (Dumbasses).
I've been in snow country and actually a couple of blizzards.
Training base in Illinois winter of 77, shut the state, the base, the chow hall and all training down.
I hate marching in the snow. Lol

This was the weather when I got up this morning. Eighteen hours ago, it was 82 degrees.
I didn't realize it was right by Soldier field and there's a Bears game today. What a traffic cluster fuck.

did you bring one of these for your visit
Turns out we're not going. They use the aquarium for game day parking and I'd have to park 5 miles away and walk my 19 month old twins in 10 degree temps. The boys are screaming in the back seat and we're trying to get out of here.
The boys are doing great! Didn't do too bad with their 5 hour road trip today. How's your new little fella liking it at home?
Baby pics boys!!!!
Need me a fix.
Was cold last evening for a late season WT hunt.
-17 windchill on an exposed knob over several areas the bed.
Worked out ok.

Just for the old squirrel.
The at home nurse said we can take the feeding tube out , it’s been out since Wednesday and he’s eating great. He’s chilling with great grandmother.
With the extra help here I did more loading today. 76 grains of IMR 4350 behind a 150 nosler the load my grandfather came up with for the rifle I don’t see a reason to change it.
We had freezing rain Friday prior to yesterday’s snow. There’s only one good way to get ice off of steel. A 20” 308 ice scraper. I was doing good until a miss on the 6” diamond . Temp was a balmy 5 degrees with a DA of -2944

Ran into a Belted Kingfisher over the weekend.
Great grandmother's are special people.
My youngest granddaughter cuddling with the late Child Brides mother, 92 years young.
Moments to cherish.
Got to test the GT today out to 1085.
