I went to church and went food shopping and by the time I got home the sun was out and it is up to 54 out there now. Supposed to be nice like this for two days and I think a motorcycle ride might be in store for this old body. Maybe that will take my heart back into sync? I am slowly but surely taking control of this junk heap I call my house so maybe my Cousin who comes to visit Tuesday won't think I live like too much of a slob? Hey I have no honey-do list so what the heck? Had a great visit with WVChuck yesterday and we really had a great time together. Think I figured out the Ballester Molina with his help but because it has such a strong recoil spring I am not sure I will keep it. Couple of trips to the range should make up my mind I would say. Just watched them cart the Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback off the field on a stretcher. I hope he is ok but football still remains a very violent game for sure. Well I hope all is well with all and we have all been enjoying this Christmas holiday. Off to the VA for blood tests this Monday as usual and see how my clotting levels are. I am almost out of the other meds I take for my tummy and realized that just today so maybe I can get them while I am there too. Motorcycle up there? No I don't think so to cold in the AM. Well that is all for now! Y'all Be Good! Bill

It felt good shooting the other day.I'm ready to start the regular Wednesday morning back up. We are planning to attend our neighbor's New Year's eve party.It's always fun to get together with our neighbors. Stan The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.

Rivers will be high but we have very sandy soil here and most of it just soaks right in. It got up to about 50 with 30 to 40 MPH winds which melts the snow in a matter of hours. It was still windy this morning so I've been poking around the house getting some clean up erands run. The wind has died down now and it it right at 50 degrees. There was some compacted snow/ice in the driveway that I scraped off the concrete and now even the concrete is dry. The snow was fun for a week or so, not so much a fan of the cold temps we had though. Now maybe we will get back to our normal winter weather. Normal around here is 22 for a low and a high of 38 just heard that today.

In the high thirties, but the snow hasn't disappeared, although it is wet and heavy now. There was another three to four inches in the driveway this morning, but I decided not to shovel it. Hope it melts tomorrow. We are in a heat wave, I wish the snow on the house would melt off, the edges are really iced up. I might try to scrape, from the ground, some of it tomorrow. Several years ago I made a snow scraper out of pvc pipe, two ten foot sections that I can screw together. Quite a chore to use it, but it works. I didn't do much constructive at all today. In fact, never left the house. I read my Standard Catalog of Smith & Wessons and tried to research some of the pistols. Also cooked a big brunch, so not hungry tonight. Rain/snow predicted for the next week. Kevin in Or.

Then we had a line of thunderboomers move through. Today it was in the 40's with sunshine and the first part of the week promises to be in the 50's. Ash Iron Construction

Supposed to be low 70s/high 60s all week. Apparently the Penn State footballers, here for the Rose Bowl, are eating it up. Can't get enough of Disneyland. Maybe they'll emulate Cuban athletes and not get on the flight back home. Filled the Tacoma's tank this afternoon. Buck sixty-nine a gallon at Costco. Looking for a DVD recorder with digital tuner, looks like Panasonic is the main brand that has this. Anybody else not quite ready for the switch to digital broadcasting? Hiroko brought home some home-made tamales Saturday night; a co-worker brought a bunch to the shop. I re-heated them for dinner tonight. Dreadful. Worst tamales I ever ate, even worse than those funny Americanized ones you get in the supermarket. Now I have a hankering for some good ones. Must be some place to get 'em, with all the Mexicans living in the area. Back when I was employed some people at work had connections and would take orders for the holidays, and those were tasty. There were a few good things about that job, little to do with the job itself, though. Tom in SoCal

Gas here is $1.49 per gallon. Having had satellite TV for quite some time now, my own transition to digital broadcasting is going to be essentially transparent. Some local stations did a test here a couple of weeks ago and I noticed nothing. I have heard of people who subscribe to satellite or cable services still obtaining the converter boxes "just in case" and so I keep wondering if I should too. 'Cause you never know. I am currently looking for a DVD burner myself, however, I want an external unit that can plug into a USB port on my computer, mostly. I would actually like to burn all the crap I have saved up on my DVR to DVDs so that I can clear the DVR. I keep knocking off programs/movies that I would really like to save as I can't find them in DVD form or I don't care to watch the tiny, grainy versions on my computer monitor. I am just trying to find a good deal on an external unit. I keep patiently 'shopping' Craigslist, since I have recently become addicted to it as I search for the best deals in the universe! I would be interested in seeing what Akitaholic ends up with as his DVD burner is concerned, just as a point of nosiness! LOL! I'm somewhat cold this evening...it's 54 degrees again in my bedroom right now, and despite Swede556's assertion that I should return to OK to re-acclimate, I don't know that it would do that much good...I can handle cold when I'm outside smoking or whatever and I can handle it when I'm sleeping under my toasty down comforter...I just start getting totally chilly when I am sitting in this office and am still for too long. It's 37F out right now, and I'm guessing that it's probably 51 degrees here in the office, but I'm about to race off and make some hot tea! I'm woman enough to say it: BRRRRR!
