-38 again. According to the weather report, this is at least the beginning of the end.
Nice!It’s trued rem 700 243win 28” 1:7. Shooting 115’s at 3030.
That was one of the hardest pack out of my life. Packed out that bear solo, 2 miles back to camp 1000’ down. Brothers pack was full so we loaded it all in my pack. View attachment 889799
Right at 0* here in Northern Michigan which is fairly normal for us in mid-February. The open waters of Lake Huron and Michigan shield us a bit from the arctic air you guys have.-38 again. According to the weather report, this is at least the beginning of the end.
Add a valve stem extension?Couple of passenger vehicles with steel rims and plastic, er, I mean ‘engineered polymer’ wheel covers, along with short valve stems.
Hard to get a tight connection with conventional air gauge and air chuck.

I would do a valve stem extension where needed. Then “Phillip” the tires as soon as winter sets in. I know tires read about 10 percent less air pressure when temps go from fall to winter. And I’m assuming again that much from regular winter temps to this ********.Couple of passenger vehicles with steel rims and plastic, er, I mean ‘engineered polymer’ wheel covers, along with short valve stems.

Joe if you are interested, I run a bird watching group on FBMy Blue Birds are back, saw one yesterday afternoon and 4 this morning, all males. They seem to show up the first or second week of February every year, which is also the coldest weeks of the year for us. Was too lazy to take pics and post.
Lol I wish.Those are the biggest fresh water craw dad's I've ever seen!
Burning a bit of cherry right now, not as long lasting as the black locust, but it's better than watching it rot or turning it to mulch .I ran across this posted earlier today. Made me kind of sick.

Look at the big rounds. Think of the log they came from and the lumber that would have been turned out. I know all can't be saved. I just don't run across a lot of Cherry and it seems like a crime. And I have cut up cherry that is low grade before.
Here you go.Question for the Hive Mind:
For some reason, the valve stems on the tires of all our cars are buried these days behind the wheel covers, making them hard to reach with my tire pressure gauges and air compressor. PIA tonight when all the tire pressure warning lights went off with this stupid cold weather.
1. Do I buy new pressure gauges (one for each car, plus a spare or two) and a new inflator thingy, that all reach into these spaces (higher cost option)?, or
2. Do I just buy a few valve extenders and screw them on, temporarily, as needed (low cost option)?, or
3. Both, because one thing or another will get lost when I need it?
Thanks.

I've got mine hung on one of those 6' tall iron plant hangers in sight of my bay window. Might be a thought.Love bird watching. Got a feeder for Christmas and a friend gave me a suet feeder. Going to take them awhile to find it due to not being any mature trees at my place. Place was pasture when I bought it and built my house, so all the trees have been planted within the last 12 years except the windbreak pines by the road. Once spring comes, we should have plenty of birds.... hopefully

Like this one ?SVK,
A decade or two ago, while bow hunting on DEP property in Carmel NY, I saw a Red Headed Woodpecker that was just as large as the largest Pileated Woodpecker I have ever seen.
I saw it very clearly two days in a row. I did not report it at the time as I did not realize they are not supposed to get that big.
The bird was beautiful, especially in flight (a lot of black/white pattern).
Never seen one before or since nearly that large. Wish I had a pic of it.
