Agreed, but I do manage to get through part of it by whiling away a few hours doing the full season's reloading. Time in the nice warm gun room makes the blowing snow and -20's seem a bit farther away...at least until I have to go out and shovel! CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 It's spelled February and it's pronounced Feb-roo-ary, just like it's spelled. If it was pronounced feb-you-ary it would be spelled Febuary. Pretty straightforward, at least in the English language. Sort of like nuclear-- not pronounced nucular.
