Been very pleasant here in FL, so I've been really busy doing outside yard work plus inside the house stuff prepping for my daughter's Xmas visit.

sounds reasonnable I guess. My remington 700 .243 hasn't seen a deer in over 50 years stored in my locked gun safe with others ! It is all inheritance stuff now with 8 refurbed kickers and tools all over the place. :)

Merry Christmas everyone.
Dad is same. I'll get his soon unfortunately including a over u derby gold trigger.

Seattle or western Washington and even a bunch of eastern Washington is having record weather everything. Torrential rain, wind, massive snowmelt all combined to make rivers crest higher than 100 year record river peak records. Crazy stuff and I'm sure plenty of life loss. Still waiting for reports.

Nothing to say other than I feel for them all. Heading up that way tomorrow for a month to see if I can help any folk up there. News reports show nothing but giant mess's.

Monday and Tuesday is bringing a second round of the newerish term of "atmospheric river"

Most people around here I think are just in a daze. Washingtonians are just crossing there big toes praying really.

Mountains are bald and usually you can ski by thanksgiving. Outside temp is over 60 and freezing level is 8000 ft.

Freaky.

I'm warm and dry so I'll be helping people and working on old two strokes to keep the stress at bay.

Kudos to everyone here, I think all you guys do a great job of informing strangers here and help the world one small bit at a time. The goodness of giving is worth a lb of gold everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

Peace and health to all.

Nope.
I'm about 130 miles south of you.
It was -14 here when you posted yesterday.

And its -13 here this morning.

I bet the Packer players are happy to be playing in Denver today.
Green Bay will be lucky to be 8* at game time.

some reflection from Kahlil Gibran..

“You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”

True generosity is effortless and joyful, not sacrificial or resentful.

You are not diminished by giving—you are fulfilled.

“It is best to give when one is not solicited—when giving arises from understanding rather than request.”

Everything you post is always full of elegance and grace.

Thank you.

Matt I canot claim the fame of those words but I do reflect on them on occasion.
Did you know Kahlil wrote other famous words...in the 1920s

"Ask not what your country can do for you Ask yourself what you can do for your country . "

Words generally attributed to JFK but his speech writer borrowed a few words...

No, I've never heard of his name or that speech. I also didn't know that JFK borrowed those lines.

Either way, those words have lots of meaning with whomever speaks it.

Words and meanings to live by.

Heading north from the big city (Seattle) in about 2 hours or so...I may post a video or two.

Very surreal around here.
