I am in sight of DC. If we could only get the Federal Government to shut down for a month or two, we would be in hog's heaven.

George King was a wonderful, generous, unassuming man and I always enjoyed talking with him.
I rate his "That's Ruff" among the true classics in my library - right up there with titles by Burt Spiller, H.P. Sheldon, G.B. Evans, W.H. Foster, Nash Buckingham, Corey Ford, Frank Woolner, Gene Hill and a small handfull of others. .

Thanks Rick for posting that. I couldn't remember the authors name and was waiting to get home from work--the author is George King. I haven't read GBE's book because it is the last one that I haven't read, and once I read it, well there will be no more GBE, so I am kind of holding on to it .
Snow wasn't supposed to start until after 5 here, but started around 1:30, only got 2 inches so far, but maybe we will get more than was predicted. Baked venison steak and apple pie, along with a Great Lakes porter for dinner--good comfort food during a snowstorm.

Where do I start? 18"-24" predicted snowfall, wind gusts 35-50mph+, 20 degrees. All in all, WINTER SUCKS! I'm getting too old for this crap.
Can't wait for the Southern. Yea Murph, would love to see the Govt. shut down for 6 months, but they still get paid when they don't work. I don't! Plenty of bourbon, wine and vittles. Only my two labs like this crap so I guess not all is lost.

We had freezing rain all night last night here in Southern Kentucky, and then the snow started at 6:00 AM today. It fell unabated on 1/4" of solid ice all day, and still continues as of now. I was very proud of our farm team here (basically my daughter and I are the team!). We have plenty of food stored up, the wine cellar is stocked, and there is plenty of good bourbon. Gas tanks are full and plenty of diesel on hand. Several good books to pick up. The dogs love it, but the horses aren't quite sure! We have two 4WD trucks and the New Holland TN-65, so we won't be confined, but man, this is a big storm here in southern Kentucky. In fact, this storm would challenge storm-ready cities like Detroit or Buffalo!
All in all, a nice time to relax in the shop with a good book and admire over few guns, while sipping a fine Kentucky bourbon..... Dave

Just took Molly (my Walker Coon Hound) out, the snow was up to her belly, she didn't like it much. I am only a couple hundred yards from the Chesapeake Bay. Northeastwind , the erosion will likely be bad but maby it will turn to rain, who knows. Not much you can do about the weather. Carvel
