MERRY CHRISTMAS. May your guns have all the ammo they require.
Go buy yourself that 6.5x55 Tzone. You know you deserve it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Uncle Dusty, good to see you posting.
The good news is that we only have couple of inches of snow here. The bad news is we've been getting freezing rain for the past 24 hours. It's a mess.

Uncle Dusty Hey there he is! MERRY CHRISTMAS UNCLE DUSTY! I hope Santa brought you what you were looking for. He was good to us here. He brought my boy a BB gun, and my daughter an IPOD. Those were the top presents for the kids....He brought WII (we) for them too, but I think mom and dad like it just as much. Merry Christmas to all. Tom

Good morning Bill. We had snow like an SOB last night on our way home from Pete's about 10 last night. Some time it switched to rain. It knocked down most of the snow, but now is freezing everything up. Lots of ice.
Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.
Tom and family.
Camp is where you make it.

Good morning and Merry Christmas. You're really going to have fun with the Wii.
We were at my brothers in Waupaca Christmas Eve. Saw 4 cars in the ditch on the way down. Had a mix of sleet and snow on the way back. Changed back to all rain after we got home. It's a big wet icy mess here today. My driveway is a skating rink.
Pam, What a great Christmas present.

Good looking sled Pam. Broke it already....AH OH!  Our snow is turning to junk real quick. We are headed back to to the FIL's house for goodies, football, and hopefully some Red Ryder shooting.

Well, yep she's broke down already.
Chain broke.
Evidentily the previous owner never bothered adjusting the chain tension while breaking the sled in.
Bummer, well at least it's just the chain and it didn't split the case, usually the chain bunches up & breaks the case.
If they have a chain for it at the dealer &'ll have her up & running again tomorrow.

Too bad about the sled.
Evil snow plow driver came through a couple of hours ago and filled the driveway apron up with over a foot of slush. Dam stuff weighs about a ton to the shovel. To wet and heavy to even try and run the snow blower through. Did mine and helped out a neighbor. By the time I finished my back had had it.

Pam & I are going to rev up the old yellow plow truck and push some snow around here. We live out in the country & we have about 1/4 mile to clear between the house and the mailbox out at the county rd.
We're kind of waiting for the snow to slow down so we don't have to just do it all over again in a couple of hours.

Get her a new toy and she busts it up right away...Kids I tell ya. I don't know what the heck I'm going to do to get the ice out of the driveway, there has to be an inch. Deer coming in like crazy to my FIL's house. Two bucks even. A 6 and a small 8. Can't tell me they don't know the hunting seasons.

Nice sled Pam! I bet it was quite a suprise.
I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

Pam,congratulations on the new Polaris.Looking sharp there.
Weak willed me gave me a Christmas present.I am such a sucker for sharp looking rifles and working part time at a gun shop sure doesn't help.The shop owner was uncasing some rifles he had purchased and I was helping.One of the cases held a Winchester 94AE "Trapper" in 30-30.This one looked brand new.Nary a dent or scratch.I've been wanting one for several years and he made me a Christmas eve screaming good deal and it now sits in my gun safe.
Uncle Dusty it is damned good to see you posting here.I get tired of being the only "geezer".Come by more often.
Muffy,the tatoo is terrific.

Merry Christmas to all on this thread. I have read all of it as time has permitted. I can only say it is a story that inspires me and I believe it instills dreams in many others. Oh and by the way I think the ad on CL should have the rainbow colors.
