I hear you! We aren’t really getting too much today but the piles are getting pretty high... if we get what they’re predicting for Sunday, I’ll have to get the loader tractor out and move some of the piles

So my friend Ed was the first to shoot the Snipetac out of my group of friends o believe. He has the reamer that chambered my barrel. He made his does with that reamer. Now another one of our shooting group ended up buying his own reamer that matches Ed’s. His gunsmith was the one that actually made the dies. Only a neck and seater die though. I was under the impression that the neck die was supposed to be a full length die but there was some miscommunication somewhere. The neck die should get me 6ish loadings before I have to borrow our other friends whidden full length die...Nice ! Who made the dies ? Do you have the reamer ? 12L14 machines really nice, if'n you wanna make yer own dies.......
Temp was actually pleasant for us this morning, 25+ degrees which is 50 degrees warmer than a couple weeks back. I stay warm behind the blower because I’m moving, heated grips, etc... Freeze my ass off running the loader tractor because I’m just sitting. A cab will be on the next one. And your correct, this will all melt and we’ll be mowing 2 weeks later ??
60 feet high? Did you remember to connect the cable before you stood it up?
Had an interesting drive today, left Boise on I84W, stopped at Baker for coffee, got back on the road and found the freeway closed due to a storm ahead. About 1.5 hours later the road was re opened, approaching Pendleton it got a bit rough, plow had only done some areas, snow started again then around Deadmans Pass plow had not been through and fog dropped visibility to about 8 feet, Pam was not happy. Luckily hire cars can handle anything you throw at them.
Just had a great dinner in Seattle and back in the room now sipping on some Elijah Craig small batch from a big bottle.

Good morning from the Democratic People's Republic of Commiefornia....
Another safe night. Time to hibernate for a couple hours.

The radio tower I put up is for oil and gas metering radio communications back to the Internet so it can get sent to Tulsa Oklahoma.

We need that "Don't Like" button, at least the view should be good today from the space needle.
Hey Barney? Is this your first time in the states? What was your biggest surprise moment when you got here? Now or the first time?
I know Brother, I know. Fingers crossed, but yes, you'll have an exquisite day up North today for sure. We'll do what we can to get by, regardless.
Seattle mecca for seafood, Asian cuisine and unfortunately liberals.
It'll be great. I'm 60 miles North and it's clear. Downtown should be too. You'll be able to see Rainier, Baker, Glacier Peak, Olympics and a bunch of others.
Take it all in while you can, we don't get many days like this in the winter.

Unfortunately no.......
The wife has me back on the airmiles treadmill. As you know, she emptied the account, so I gotta go to San Diego....
Too damn nice out to be a work. Should be out shooting.
Unfortunately no.......
Well that sucks. I was hoping you'd have taken some of the piss n vinegar outta him before he rolls in. Now I'm left with a fresh Barney all to myself? This is gonna be bad, I just know it.
Nope took it just after I passed him.Dave wasn't on the side of the road in his White Charger was he?
Seen him headed south out by the duck ponds ?
I will see if I can catch him tomorrow, got to head south to naselle again to work in a couple trucks.
Barney should be at Hunters around lunch time.

I have been here a few times but never up in this area, mainly SoCal, Arizona and Nevada. Biggest surprise? Probably slot machines at the airport in Vegas.

View was great from the Needle, Pam did not like the glass floor. Rainier was in cloud but the peak was visible.
So even Phoenix surrounding mountains has that white shit???? Sky’s cleared just eneough to see out toward Crown King from Surprise and holy shit beautiful. Desert is going to be green and covered up with flowers in a couple weeks?
Got the new dining set today.. She says I can't clean guns or work on computers on it for at least a little while.
Gesundheit!
Hell, I don't know. It came from a massive furniture store store conglomeration near here. They occupy an entire block.
We looked at rugs for about six hours. Then this lady comes up asks what we thought we wanted. We explained in terms of colors and patterns and she took us to a display rack, flipped to this one and said, "Like this?"
Facepalm and elation all in one.
This is where us locals start laughing........because........we hear out of towners say "Oh, it's so beautiful, I just have to move here". We say "OK, come here, but rent for a year......live through a complete winter here. If you can do that without putting a gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger, you're ready to buy a house".
What just about everybody that isn't a local doesn't realize is that it rains/drizzles/floods/occasionally snows between mid October and through the end of March and the average temp is 38 F and is gray/drizzly as fuck. If you can live through a winter of that, you'll make it. If not, there's no point in buying, you'd just be wasting your money. I got through that phase when I was seven years old. It was February, it was a Saturday and my mother took me shopping. The weather was the typical shits. 2:00 O'clock in the afternoon, in the car, I start crying uncontrollably. My Mother asks me what I was crying about. I told her I didn't know. I honestly didn't know. Took me lots of years to figure out that is was the shitty gray/rainy weather. The weather hasn't bothered me since. Although, I am becoming more fond of the warmer climes.........
Looks nice Tuck ! Although.....what's up ? New dining room set and a new Soob a couple of weeks ago ? You trying to spoil her ? (New gun on the menu huh ?)

Yep, sorry......He's gonna show up chafed, having had to navigate all the Seattle southbound traffic through JBLM. Glad I'm not you
You gonna route him southbound I-5 to Chehalis to the 6, out to Raymond and down the 101 to the 4/Naselle ?
Nope, apparently I'm one step ahead of you.......Soob covers the above. New dining room set with new, non-Hoppes stained rug ?
Me ? I'm shopping (again)

That looks about 30 mins longer than the route Google is showing me.
I never travel based on the Google time based recommendation. I always make sure to have an exit strategy for when the route turns orange or red.
I prefer back roads for the view, the lack of traffic and there's always another way to get past a major accident.
Interstates are great for timed travel but that's about it.
Have a safe trip Barney and while you're in Chehalis, drop a rifle off to Steve Kostanich and let him work his magic on it.
Be safe Barney and avoid propane errrrr ........traffic problems getting to 1J’s?
Once you get off i5 and head out on 108 to 101 traffic will be good, just watch out for deer and elk, there’s a lot out this time of year. ?
The McDowell’s in North Scottsdale.......
31” in Flagstaff this week so far and 2’ in Payson.

Jimmy should be chiming in, he’ll know best.....
Hey Barney take highway 8 south to 107 get off in montosano, fallow that to 101 south. The highway is going to be a little better that way.
I5 to highway 6 is about 30 minutes longer. It’s a nice drive lots of nice farm land out that way.
By the way I live in Raymond

He and Pam are at Hunters Inn now. Heading down there! Wish us luck.
Is Barn scowlin' 'cause of all the shit traffic he had to wade through to get there ?
Wait a minute ! It's Friday. It's after 2:00 PM. It's raining out. You're in Logger Land and there isn't anyone else in the bar. WTF ? I'm confused.
You guys have fun now, ya hear ? !!!!
