Almost Spring?

Un-Spring like snow fell again this morning in the North-Wet. Only an inch here in the south sound, but they got much more up the Hood Canal area. Turning to heavy rain later this morning.

Still, much better than my friend Steve in North Dakota. DEEP snow and sub-zero temps up near Fargo. Great for black & white photography, as long as you like WHITE!

What's it like in your part of the world?

Just A'Pourin'

Got Rain?

Well, it's Spring in the Great North-Wet! Wind is a-blowin' and the rain is falling like Cats-N-Dogs (I know because I stepped in a poodle ~;-).

Nice day for a great warm breakfast of ham and eggs, and watchin' a fishin' show on cable. I know we could be watching the NEWS, but how depressing is that? We're looking forward to the next Cowboy Action Shooting Match at Littlerock, WA. The Blackriver Regulators put on a great shoot the 4th Saturday of every month. If you'd like to participate or just watch come by, the gates always unlocked during the match. I guarantee you'll have FUN!

Giddy Yapp!

I figured I might just join in this century's mode of communication. So, who is Flash Powder Hal?
I support and compete in the shooting sports, mostly SASS, Single Action Shooting Society (also known as Cowboy Action Shooting). I hang around quite a bit in the SASS forum's Saloon, with great friends like: Flint McCloud an Ms. Maggie, Okie Sawbones an Wildcat Carole, Dynamite Dalton an his Darlin', Montana Slick, Badger Mountain Charlie and Willie Wheelgun ...... just to name a few. Not enuff space to list them all, but they're GREAT Pards, one and all!
My best friend and spouse, Big Red Penny, attend shoots in Washington State and Oregon (s0 far). And we both have FUN, in everything we do together!!!
I'll try to keep ya' up to date on what goes on at our lil' Hacienda in the Pacific Northwest.
