Whats your weather right now?

Interesting choice of a rifle. Flint lock, It takes a true huntsman to be able to shoot and control one of those.

Well, it’s of the era, certainly , and I have hunted with flints , and yes , it’s a challenge

but this one is what is called a cartridge conversion

The British took an American design, the Snider system , and modified their pattern 53 enfield rifled muskets to single shot breech loader , firing a massive and slow .577 round

This rifle was used up here in Canada in the 1870s till about 1900

Most notably, the snider was used in large numbers in the US civil war

Getting ready to take Madness out right now. 59 breezy n sunshine!
Been cutting, splitting, and stacking firewood yesterday and this morning, time for some relaxation.

11 Degrees and Sunny
Taking advantage of surprisingly warm weather for mid November- usually it's grey, damp and gloomy, to change my red paint mistake to metallic silver.

2C and Cloudy in SW Ontario
Off to the welder to have the side stand bracket welded on. I economized a bit by taking stuff off it that didn't need to be exposed to sparks.
Thanks for the part, Jetmechmarty!

Well, it's dark at 4:30 pm. In the afternoon. Wind is getting up so it's noisy outside. The weather people have been promising that much colder weather is on the way, and starting to feel cold already. Might even have ice and snow this weekend. We might just wrap up warm and stay in.

Talking with a neighbour yesterday about the weather - we do that a lot in Britain - she said it's gonna be cold and snowy over Christmas. Personally, I refuse to believe that you can forecast the weather beyond three to maybe five days ahead. It might turn out to be cold over Christmas but I'll still claim that's just a guess and guesses sometimes turn out correct. Heads or tails?

6C and Sunny at 3PM
A couple pictures for today's version of the low miles Special.
Wheeling it into the shop to replace the zippy " Ascot" exhaust back to the "Mike's" Commando repops. I guess age is catching up as I prefer to go through my neighborhood a bit stealthily, not that these were all that loud. Plus the left side looks a bit barren.
Side stand working like it was never missing.

15F (-10C) this morning, Didn't ride today.
honestly, no rides this week.
Two wood stoves going.
Any further rides will depend on whether the salt trucks roll now.

 

[bosco659]

-1C outside, +15C in the garage

 

[Raymond]

Cold morning, hard frost, salt has been liberally shovelled, might put a convector on in the garage but it'll still be too cold to spend much time in there, no plans to go out out.

Hard frost this morning at 7.00am. Had to scrape the windows whilst the truck warmed up.
Now 2.00pm and the sun is shining brightly. Still friggin' cold tho'.

 

[Jim]

Rain turning to snow this afternoon/evening... or so goes the forecast guess... up to 4"
Sigh. Guess I better trudge myself down to the shed and fetch the snow shovels.

 

[bosco659]

5C / 41F. Maybe I should put up the Christmas lights?

 

[MrBultaco]

20 degrees and the 1st big snow of the season...about 5" has fallen so far. (it's coming your way @Jim). Maybe another 1" or so before it stops...

 

[Jim]

(it's coming your way @Jim)

Looks about 70-80mi away, heading north east.... @gggGary .

I’m surprised you guys are getting this nasty weather. Hope I don’t jinx it but we’ve enjoyed a very mild November so far. There’s been several nights where the temps have dropped below 0C but in the daytime there may have been one day where it was below zero for maybe half a day.

 

[Mailman]

Dare I say it will be 67 degrees and sunny today? I spent the morning outside doing yard work.
