RE: A day in the country with Faith

in Outdoors and more4 years ago

Sounds like a terrific day. Probably the only thing that could make it better would be motorcycles :) Course it's a little hard to be stealthy on a dirt squirter.

That's a serious looking rest you've got there. I mean like just about perfect. Looks like a great place.

I'm really glad that Faith is well enough to be getting out for a day, that says quite a little to me. I'm happy that you get to have a weather probable day when you need it.

We are going from fall (cough) (34C yesterday) to winter this weekend, lows around 6C by Sunday with the wind that goes with that kind of change. The snakes will go to bed for the winter and I can quit worrying about Sam for a few months. I'll probably just wait that change out indoors. My house isn't much but at least it has a roof and windows...

Sort:  

It's a pretty sweet spot, no one for miles and lots of opportunity to shoot at range. We actually leave targets, steel gongs, out all the time and the farm's cool with it. (Not in the middle of the cops of course.)

Yeah, Faith is going ok...Much better than last week and she'll continue to improve. She won't go running about or anything but can lay prone and shoot. I think it'll be a good day.

So, crisp mornings for you on the way but I would imagine the days to be tolerable? What sort of temperatures will you have in the day around January?

Low 20s for the high starting next week. That's pretty much our winter description. In January it will be highs in the mid teens and lows in the 5 range. We'll get a few days near freezing, but not many. We haven't had a general frost in a couple of years, we might be about due.

There is a reason why our population triples in the county in the winter :) The Canadian border is still closed so we are only about 1/2 the normal crowd right now...

I assume you mean Celcius. Seems pretty good. We get highs of 15-20 in winter here in Adelaide, beautiful blue skies a lot too...pretty mild. We don't get Canadians though. 🤣
