Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

-30° here last night, thank goodness it warmed up today and isn’t supposed to get below 0° tonight

We used to burn a lot of Hedge (AKA Osage orange in some parts) in wood burning stove that heated the old farm house I lived in growing up. It burned hot and slow and was the best wood we could use. But it crackled and sparked a lot, so we wouldn't use it for camp fires or any open flame applications.

I think I learned Tetris game best by stacking wood in the stove for maximum fill.

Growing up in Illinois we always had hedge. Real easy to turn a stove red with that stuff. Not to mention make yourself uncomfortably hor.
 
Pretty chilly here in Milwaukee.

About -1F today, -20F with wind chill.

The roof on my garage got damaged a couple weeks ago and I booked a repair.

Their scheduling person (probably sat in a nice cozy office with the thermostat set just so) set up the visit for today.

I felt bad for the poor repair guy, not gonna lie.

I don't think I'd have stuck it out.
 


This was our place in Talladega County, Alabama last week. It’s [emoji[emoji6]]’F here at the moment.

Middle Georgia got their share of snow last night. Our town is shut down, I-75 and 475 are closed due accidents from last night. It’s a mess here. My dogs were trying to figure out what this white stuff was. :ROFLMAO:

For you southerners, the thermometers cross at 42 below. -42 C = -42 F.
Time to get outside and fire off a few rounds from your .404 to check out it's functioning in the event you go on a musk ox hunt in the Arctic someday? LOL

Yep, and unfortunately I was out driving around (working) in it from Friday night through Tuesday morning. Wish I was in Florida or New Orleans............ wait, nevermind. LOL
 
Well, a rare occurrence! Snow on the ground in coastal SC for three days.
We got around five inches in Myrtle Beach and it still hasn't melted. The last time I remember snow sticking this long was the Christmas after Hurricane Hugo in 1989.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
