I spent my morning reloading 167 rounds for my Hunter gun, getting ready for spring. I also started prepping some new 6br brass, only 150 to go.
Tomorrow is spoken for will be snow blowing drive ways ( mine and my daughters) after this BLIZZARD blows out of here, expected 18" not counting drifts. It will take most of the day and a few Coors extra golds.
Now they are talking a possible repeat next Monday.

Nothing productive other than taking the wife for a medical test. While she was in the waiting room to be called, she sent me a picture of a man also waiting who had brought his pet into the hospital waiting room as well. An overweight ankle biter to go along with the overweight owner. Wife said they were also doing sleep problem testing, so I just wondered if the owner or the dog was there for some sleep issues. ??

Now I'm just cooking dinner. LOL
 
Watched 10+ inches fall and blow around creating a "white out". :(

Prep 50 243 cases while listening to the Rolling Stone Hot Rocks CD :)

Clean my S&W Model 19, 357 - won't be visiting the pistol range for some time with this on going snow storm.:(

Spent time on this forum :)

Watched a couple of gunblue490 YouTube Video's - just love this guy's vast experience and common sense approach to everything shooting / hunting.:):):):):) Not many of those kind of guys remaining.
 
Spent 5 hours on the road yesterday going down to the City and back to check on my deceased sisters house and pick up any bills in the mail.
From there, being that it was the weekend and traffic would be much lighter, headed from the house to the Cemetery to see my Grand Parents resting place.
Mother died in 2000 and had planned on getting a headstone for them but never got to it.
Their plot is on a steep section way up on the hill that over looks San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Crystal clear skies so it was a beautiful view.
Mom had a hard time getting down and back up the hill.
A year or so after she died, I went there, found the # plot and on the way out, stopped at a place and ordered up a headstone. Hadn't seen it for a few years and figured that we were close enough from sisters house, we could pop over and check it out. Still the same. No traffic to speak of so it was a good drive.
Drove right up to the plot, with a few extra turns included. That place is HUGE!!
Next time down, I'll go a little further and see where my Aunt and Uncle are planted. Been there a few times but want to keep up so I don't forget how to get there.

This morning, did some digging and ordered up more brass, 22 TCM from Ammo Supply Warehouse to neck down to 20 for my "20 TCM" Wildcat.
The pictures of the brass shows it's silver and maybe Nickle plated? I'll know more when it gets here. I got BRASS (non plated) from them a few years back but all that's showing in the Nickle plated stuff. I'll know how easy it is to work once I get it in hand.

Dr. apt at 0800 then home to get my anodizing set up ready for next weekend Took a couple of coffee breaks and searched online for a vinyl cutter/plotter to make stencils for electro etch then spent the last of the day making my version of super feet. Man I'm wore out. Time for supper.
 
I spent most of the day reading up on the Reddit vs Hedge Fun manager saga and decided to move some money around. I don't know what's going to happen with it per say, but it's been fun to read about at least and maybe I'll make a few bucks. Admittedly I bought in late, but when I did the stock immediately dropped 25%. That's volatility for you.
 
Up since 4AM still snowing.
Day 2. At this time I have at least 14" of snow and drifts of over 4' in driveway and across the rear side walk. Wind is still blowing at 26 mph with gusts of 45 so it is blowing snow all over, it is going to be tough to clean up to say the least.
There will be no work at the reloading bench today, I'll be lucky to be finished cleaning the snow up by dinner time. Right now I can't open the back door up to let the dog out so I need to shovel that out first, when he gets up he has to go.
Isn't retirement wonderful. I should have moved South 20 years ago, and no it isn't an option now either.
 
Beautiful day, temp above freezing. Everyday features a 2 or 3 mile walk with a the dog while carrying a rifle; in case I get a shot at a coyote. Back home and sanded on a full length stock for a 35 Whelen I'm building for a customer. Loaded some 6.5 CM for the silhouette rifle. Tomorrow is the bi-weekly trip to town (40 miles) where I'll pick up 1500 Lapua bullets I ordered.
Jackie,
Now that sounds like an interesting job to set up. WH
