Guys in case I don't post here for a week here's why.  The Weaher Service has predicted a bad storm coming in across the Dakota's.  Supposed to have winds around 40MPH.  And temps are supposed to drop to aruond freezing.  There also predicting snow and blizzard conditions.  It is predicted to hit this afternoon (02/09/06)
I've seen the future and I don't like it.

Hey Shotgunminister, I see the two piece stock on your Enfield  in your avatar, but why do you reload right handed and then shoot left handed? isn't that awkward ?? if you get snowed in you can always work on that, right ?/ later and stay warm, remember that Enfield will work in 40 below weather !!!!!!

Well it wasn't nearly as bad as the weather man made it out to be and most of it went North of here.

Well it was cold last night.  I spent it in the barn.  The barn is little more then telephone poles, a roof and slat board walls.  The temp was about -8.  It did snow today but nothing like what the weatherband had said.  So Dave I don't imagine it get's that cold down under?  Of course it might be fun chasing kangaroos through 6ft snow drifts.

Mate the day it ,drops to -8 arond here I'm moving to the equator ! On saying that it has been Known to snow around here ,during winter but only a very light coating more like a heavy frost! I was out one night whenthis accurred & had no idea of what the hell was happening ! I might add I was using the 25-303 that night & it preformed perfectly (shame about the bloke using it ) .Oh ! I must ask ? What were you doing out in the Barn on a night like that ?????
