Yeah � from Norman, Oklahoma, projecting their forecast for St Johns, Arizona, miles and miles east to Quemado, New Mexico.

Wonder where their other data-collection points are!

Wunderground has data-collection points nearly everywhere � including a very sophisticated one just west of here � a lot closer than St Johns.

Other sources that I know-of are farther west � all in Arizona.

Thanks for the reference to the wunderground weather website and the info about their data-collection points. Checked it out, sure like their website data layout. Also there were a goodly number of data-collection points close by my place. It will now be my go-to weather website vs. weather.com .

Can't speak for your scruff of the woods, of course, but the weather in this area is so splotchy and iffy that predictions for specific spots are impossible, and predictions for areas change hour-by-hour.

The only three ways that I can be sure what's happening here weather-wise are
� go to the kitchen window or the front door and look out
� hear rain on the roof
� see water running off the rain gutter

Rain may be strangling frogs here while frogs close by are sneezing dust � or vice versa.

Large and small pistol and small rifle

Don't know how long the sale or supply will last.

Thanks but by the time I get there I will be almost broke. That is a great price but I am still OK on Primers.

Didn't expect rain last night but got some anyway.

Nice!

Unexpected.

Even nicer!

Went over to Springerville this afternoon.

Nice to see the land green and water standing alongside the highway.

Came through a heavy squall on the way back, and something big and black is shaping-up to the south of us. Nice to see that the area is getting some rain, even when down-in-the-bowl Quemado stays dry.

Hope it lasts, for the sake of our shindig next month!

I'm looking forward to it. At the range today in Houston, everyone had a sweat-soaked shirt - me included. Western NM is sounding good about now. smile

Hey just a mention for tech savvy... Wunderground has a pretty cool app for smart phones as well. I installed it on my iPhone a week or two ago and I really like it.

Weather Bomb works great too. I have been watching Quemado on my phone.

I'd love to have it; never have owned a .38-55, but I'm guessing around $2k is what it would bring? And I can think of other things I'd rather own. Win did a few 1894 commemoratives in .38-55, like the Chief Crazy Horse and Legendary Frontiersman. I've always thought them to be neat rifles.

My Marlin 1894 CL in .25-20 has proven a steal; yesterday it plopped 5 factory loads into an inch at 100 yards - 3 in one hole. I might just have to stick a bigger scope on it, and enter it in the PD shoot. smile

There were a number of these vintage levers, including a 38.55 at a store in prescott a couple of years ago. They were listed in the mid teens. I have seen some go last summer for in the mid two's. The refinished stock does not help matters.

Whether you've been getting too much rain, not enough, or none at all, this New Mexico high country offers nice, easy, cool relief this time of year.

Believe it or not, we have been seeing some in Arkansas for the last couple of weeks. Lows in the low sixties and highs in the high seventy's or low eighties. Nothing like I can remember. But good. miles

Paladin is on safari in Africa, I think.

Plans to be at the gathering, I understand.
