My brother Tony came up to visit the first week of June and he got a real taste of the lingering winter here. Back in Houston where he lives it was in the 90's. While he was here in June it snowed almost every day!
It warmed up a bit mid month and we got out to sight in our rifles.
We purchased a boat from a friend who was leaving and we are well pleased. This is our first trip out with it and we followed Aucha, a friend, out to her camp.
