Damn Mayan calender! :lol: Whew! had me shook for a minute! :roll:

Happy Holidays everybody!

I thought it might be the end last night about 21:00. Wind was blowing about 35 mph and it was raining hard. lights flickered a dozen times and then went out. My first thought was "Damn Mayans can't get it right. They're 3 hours early". Power came back on at about 00:45. Problem was a tree blown down across the lines. :thumbsup:

It's only 8PM here on the West Coast. California might still fall into the ocean. Then Jerry Brown can add another new tax.

JYD, I remember a photo that you posted of a group of mosins stacked up together in a pyramid. Add some snow, garland and lights to them and they would make a great christmas tree. :D

Great idea, but that involves dragging five 91/30's out into the woods in snow were there are no trails, dragging 700 yards of power cord or a 120 pound power genny, plus the lights. It would take an entire day, I would freeze, hmmmmm.....let me think on that....done..no :)
