Thoughts on the Day

Today I got to work with a chainsaw and a splitting mawl. That alone made it a good day.
All of the odd sized pieces of firewood have been cut down to size, and that which needed it have been split. Looks like we have about 1/4 of a cord, which means I’ll be calling my wood man for a cord. After deer season is completely over, I’ve been invited out to a friend’s property help clear out oak and cherry trees that have fallen over in the wind. A couple truckloads of that will round us out until at least the end of winter.
Irish Woman started decorating the house for Christmas today. So begins the madness.
Irish Woman bought herself a bicycle today. As you can see, no-one will be able to say they didn’t see her.

After procuring a velociped for the wife, I took the opportunity to check out one of my gun stores. I looked at a lot of things, but ended up buying 200 rounds of Federal .223 FMJ. It was running 46 cents a round, which is pretty close to what I spent at Walmart the other week. Unfortunately, I can’t shoot out of the ammo can of Federal XM855 I got until I have time to go out to Knob Creek. My indoor range is picky about using ammunition with a steel penetrator.
Pad thai for dinner is always a good idea.
- I wasn’t paying attention to prices for .223/5.56 until a few weeks ago. Anyone know how this stacks up to pre-election, both 2008 and 2012, prices?
I have a batch of cranberry bread in the oven, a double batch of snickerdoodles in the fridge for baking tomorrow, and the fixings to make brownies and pumpkin bread. The house is going to smell good for days.
Thanks to a Facebook friend, I’m enjoying one of these tonight. It’s really good, but I think next time I make them I’ll substitute the brown sugar with graham cracker or ginger snap crumbs.
