Ha! And it fits that a Siamese brat appears to be leading the charge...

The CZ rimfire rifles (.22 and .17) are sure heating up a lot of .22 afficianados. Well made, accurate, moderately priced. The CZ line up has quite a few winners in it nowdays.

A vey handsome model, with the "American" stock.

I just can't get used to the funky "Bavarian" style east European stocks.

Ah, OK. Wasn’t sure if he was power or phone or what.

So...he’s a buzz killer?

Yeah - I guess he is :~)

It’s all fixed now. Luckily there’s so many lines coming in here he can just pick another one :~)

Oh yes indeed the American..that one looks like the .22 Hornet, fine looking rifle. The European style does get a bit of getting used to. Some of the newer ones have a single set trigger.

Before the storm?

I wonder if we’ll really get any stronger wind than we’ve had already today. It was definitely gusty on the way back from church.

Ungh...if I type on the typewriter for awhile, this keyboard feels really, really weird.

It’s not over yet ;~)...there’s the potential for it to storm all night and into tomorrow. But hopefully it won’t be too much, just blustery :~)

Michael’s has their yarn on sale for at least 25% off regular prices. Their normal prices aren’t *great*, but that’s a pretty decent sale.

I miss Hobby Lobby. *snif*

I picked up some white yarn so I have an alternating color for the one ripple afghan I’m working on, and also some more white and some black and red for some sort of blanky for thenewnephew. Not really baby colors, but it’ll fit them more closely as a result. I dunno what I’ll do with it, though. Maybe just another ripple...one with really thin stripes. Those go together super quick, even if they’re kinda boring. I guess I could also do squares of some kind.

It’s not over yet ;~)...there’s the potential for it to storm tonight with the highest winds tomorrow during the day... The hour by hours shows winds 20-40 from morning through late afternoon. It’s a little easier to bear during daylight. :~)

However I’m all out of pecans and walnuts so it’s just plain brownies.

I haven’t been so far. If I do, it’ll be via cookies.

Is it any good this season?
