RAIN - ROUND 2

Well it's raining again and the temp is supposed to warm up.  The last couple of times the weather did this we got hit with a lot of snow.  Hopefully this time the snow melts and stays gone without another snow storm.  Time will tell.

FRISBEE FOR REPLACING DIRT - TIP OF THE WEEK

You can use a frisbee or plastic lid when digging for targets.  Placing the dirt in the frisbee or lid makes it neat and easier when you pour the dirt back into the hole.  I'm using a frisbee now because the ground is very wet and a towel just gets too dirty and soaked.  I will go back to the towel once the ground is dry.

ANOTHER 2 - - - FEET OF SNOW

Well as usual the weatherman >:/ was wrong about the snow fall >{ >{.  Instead of 4-6 inches which would have been bearable, we got close to 2 feet :8O.  Now it's going to take all week and then some to melt again.  Unbelievable - we central New Yorkers just can't catch a break :'(

GOOD OLE CENTRAL NY

Warm and raining yesterday - cold and snow today - another 4 to 6 inches.  I'm getting sick of this - I was planning to do some hunting some mornings since the temp was going to be respectable but again winter rears its ugly head.  Can't catch a break.  The week is supposed to be warm so lets see if it holds true.

AFTERNOON HUNT

Went hunting at one of my favorites parks today with the warm temps.  Didn't much in coins but did find 2 wheat pennies - 1930 and 1944.  I was hoping to find silver but no luck.  I used the delta - seemed to work fine just need to get use to it.   Four wheat pennies so far - way ahead of last year.

MY TWO CENTS

Tried the delta in the backyard since it wasn't real cold - hunted by the close line and found 2 cents - memorial pennies.  I still need to test the delta - seemed to be reading alright but I need to try it in some warmer weather.
