Not arguing, Pop. Just informing. I want y'all (all of you) to be safe out there.
It could happen. We'll just have to wait and see.
We can pretend we're pheasant hunting in Nebraska.
When it comes to Texas weather, only one thing is certain.... nobody knows! :lol:

We haven't heard from TAM yet if he can wait until noon to start.

TAM?

Or if the noon start time makes it better for anyone that could not make it earlier.

TAM emailed he will try to make it, but has some work deadlines pushing back on his being able to come. I'm pretty sure he knows the time has been reset to 12N, but I sent him a PM to be sure.

Nearly last minute change.

Puma guy's schedule opened up on Saturday and due to temperature, we'd like to reschedule for Saturday at noon. Temp should be at least 40 by then. If more people can make it at this time that would be cool.

EDIT: I was just reminded that we have plans this weekend. My grandson and I won't be able to make it.

We'll catch you next time.

Well I left 79 degrees and sunny this morning and arrived to 38 degrees and rain. We stopped in Waxahachie for gas and I got out wearing a tee shirt. Brrrrrrrr! Put my jacket on quickly! It must have rained a lot - the fields off Hwy 287 were draining big time and I saw lots of standing water.
As noted Saturday opened up for me when my daughter texted my wife that the soccer games were cancelled, so I looks like we'll meet up then. TAM sent me a PM that he wouldn't be able to make it Thursday anyway. Roads will probably still be in poor shape for travel tomorrow anyway.
I'll see ya'll Saturday noon at Elm Fork.

I was able to PM TAM and he said if the weather improved on Saturday he'd like to come. Forecast is some sun, high 47 degrees and light wind. The internet is going in and out here with the icy conditions. I don't know if AndyC and Beiruty are aware of the change to Saturday or not. Could you maybe give them a heads up with a PM? I would do it but once it ices up I won't have the web until it thaws. Seems like it gets cold and windy every time I come to shot. Just like the groundhog all I have to do is say let's shoot some skeet and we get more winter!
