I posted this yesterday on another site:
Double checking a couple of my muzzys to be sure they were sighted in for bear and deer seasons coming up with my commitment to use only muzzleloaders this year. Set up a target at 100 yards. 30* with a stiff constant wind in my face. Loaded up the 50 cal Rem 700 100 gr black MZ and 250 gr Barnes Expander MZs. Federal 209 primers. Clean bore shot 1/2" right and perfect height. Great - Now the .45 cal Knight Mountaineer 95 gr of Swiss 1 1/2 Hornady 10 mm 200 gr XTP. Clean bore shot 1/2" right and 2" high. Fantastic. Now head back home and clean them up and get some hot coffee.
Tomorrow its not supposed to get out of the 20s for the first day of bear season. I think I'll sleep in and head out doing a little still hunting and looking for fresh tracks in the newly fallen snow. I'll be toting the 700ML.
Well I woke up this morning and the temperature in the house was 59*! Went down to the basement and hit the reset button on my furnace and it kicked back on but only ran for 5 mins and the power vent didn't go through its post purge. I've been playing with it ever since and can't get it going. Made a couple calls and can't get no one in until Monday. Looks like I'll be shopping around for a couple electric heaters to at least keep the lower "living" level of the house somewhat warm. It figures - this had to happen on the coldest day of the year so far!
