Yup, not complaining about the moisture, but the high winds and closed roads are getting to be a bit of a pain in the butt.

Snow blocked roads are no problem.
Just use a flat bottom John boat and put some teflon runners under it incase of a dry surface run build a cover with a windshield and find a Continental A-65-8 air-cooled horizontally opposed four cylinder, 65 hp engine out of a J-3 cub.
That is good for snow and fishing or just plain fun running over grass

Don,
You and everyone else be safe out there!
We got "stuck" in Eastern Oregon about three weeks ago... Really enjoyed the people and the scenery, but I-84 was closed for several days, and I wasn't looking forward to trying HWY3 to get back to Washington... As it was, we did OK... It was touch and go getting from Enterprise to Elgin, but we were great after that: Speed limit or close to it until Pendleton, then we were +5 the rest of the way home...
Envious of everyone that gets to go on these cool shooting trips!
Sometimes I think I'm the only one not retired... It's all good, I have my adventures as well...
Have fun, shoot good!

Tom,
Retired age ain't for sissy's. Do it as soon as you can so you get toughest up
RE: Who's ready - Don McDowell - 02-06-2020
Tom, the weather is so screwy this winter, none of the plans we thought we had have exactly panned out..
Glad you got home in good shape.

Tom,
Our friend Kurt is correct about retirement. When ya get there, you'll wonder how ya got all the work done and are enjoying all the new things as they come along. Have faith,
Jim
