Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Yeah, but if it's your dust it adds to the atmosphere....kind of like my half acre of award winning weeds. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Yep. A nice nip to the air, maybe some frost on the ground at sunrise. Just need the coffee pot on top of that stove and pull some coals down onto that hearth for your dutch oven. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Ahhh yes "fall" in central Texas... The morning temp is only 80 or so with the promise of highs under 99. Heck yeah I love that after five months of 95 - 110 degrees days. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I miss Fall…but not this Fall Here in the southern and coastal part of The People’s Utopia of Enlightenment we don’t so much as have seasons as we have some temperature variations with a different length of daylight. But, I must say “climate change” or as I like to call it “Terra Forming for our Alien Overlords” (this gets me some weird looks) has made winter months here a little more like the Pacific Northwest on occasion. I am truly looking forward to Fall in Pennsylvania. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 You're braver then I am- unless it's empty and just an ornament. That powder flask is way closer to an open flame that my preference. I was at EOT '02 when the guy- he was with Lindholm Brothers Spurs, if I remember right- blew one of them up and almost lost a thumb because he was smoking while refilling it. It taught me a whole new level of respect (and caution) for black powder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Here in Sacramento, the Hinges of Hell™ are warming up, but not glowing red quite yet. We have barely topped 100F / 38C a day or two so far... But... Hell's a-comin' We have had a truly delightful spring. Sadly, there only remains about 3 more weeks before Winter is coming after the Summer solstice. We enjoy both Spring and Fall here.. for me, more Spring due to the lengthening days. Fall has less allergies, but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The circular spring eventually broke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like what you would get I think. Lowest I can remember was around 2°C some mornings with a top of around 11°C, most Winter days average around 8°C to a top of around 15°C. I have a mate in Minnesota he's done videos for me of throwing boiling water in the air and it comes down frozen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Bear Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 This fan we bought last Winter off eBay is interesting. It just runs off the heat of the stove (don't know how, but it works) and pushes warm air through the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting decorating choice. (Don't even get me started on smoking while pouring Black Powder. Yowza!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
