Snow Day!

[M-Taliesin]

Howdy Folks!
While I'm looking at the snow coming down outside my window, I got to wondering what I'll do with my day. Then I wondered what everybody else does when they can't get out to hunt. I'd go hunting regardless of snow, but can't afford to catch cold or anything before my surgical date rolls around. But I was curious what you do on those days when you just can't hunt.

Everybody likely has a plethora of other things, chores, research, books to read or other activities they can enjoy on snow days, and I'd like to know your favorite activity when it just ain't a good day to swing a coil. Share it with us (but keep it clean), and I'll be posting one of my favorite alternative activities a bit later on. I'd like to see what you enjoy before showing you my alternative. You know, show me yours and I'll show you mine! That sort of thing! LOL.

All seriousness aside, show us what you enjoy doing on snow days. Just one, maybe two is enough, as I'd like to hear from everybody on the forum on this one.

Blessings,
M-Taliesin

This weekend M-T is just going to be spent in front of the computer.. I came down with a super bad cold and any moving around just causes a real bad hacking cough. Reading and some research

I surely am sorry to hear you're ailing! Get yourself well and use that research to bring in some great finds!
Take care of yourself amigo!

Football, 3 games. Reading. Metal detecting forum. Keeping the fire going. Warm cup of coffee, with just a little aiming fluid added. And hoping for a thaw.

Howdy Folks!
I promised to provide my favorite alternative activity when not able to get out and hunt. One of my favorites is to get out to the shooting range with Pipster. Here is how we enjoy a snowy day, whenever he is off work, that is. And that ain't often these days!

This is a pretty old video, made before surgery got cancelled first time around due to a blood clot that developed in that leg. I finally got another date for surgery on December 31st, but they couldn't find a vein to start an I.V.! Now my next attempt is scheduled for January 25th. Hopefully everything will go right this time!

[coinnut]

When it snows?? Seems like I have to always work when it snows lol Never fails. But I do like to play the guitar (not too well lol) or clean up around my detecting area, I have set up.

[Epi-hunter]

Snow here.

Did some Dance Dance Revolution (favorite way to exercise, and fun) and cleaned the house. Shoveled snow. Exciting. :rolleyes:

[BHNugget]

Hibernate :grin:

Snow Snow Snow. An unusual storm has drop 7 1\2 inches here in Little Rock, Arkansas. That is a big storm for this area. Guess I will stay in and enjoy it from the windows in the motorhome. Good hunting to those who can get out. Glenn :frozen: :frozen: :frozen:

In the winter time when I cannot detect I am usually found out in the wilds around where I live Coyote hunting. The rest of the wildlife need a break from these particular predators so we do our part to thin them down...

Bejeweled Blitz and Farmville on Facebook. Maybe if I get sucked into Farmville like Tron I will try out the MXT Pro. lol

We have coyotes pack together in a field behind our house, and we live in a residential neighborhood. They sure do sound spooky when they have a kill or are looking for each other. Kinda eerie laughter sounding. Can't they make noise any other time than 2:30 in the morning lol There are definitely too many of them.

Okay, M-T Today, after shoveling snow, visiting Starbucks, reading a chapter of Andy Sabisch's Treasure Hunters Manual, and thanking my lucky stars that I am lucky to be able to enjoy retirement in relatively good health, I decided to try again to postphotos of the best day I've had THing in the past 30 years. I'm not too sure about how to coordinate everything to get the photos posted but I'll give it my best try. Maybe I'll get better with time-bear with me :dontknow:

[coinnut]

That's a great day hunting. :shocked04: Look at all the silver and a couple of oldie ones too. Super day and the pictures are fine!!

Howdy Pard!
That's a real nice looking clutch of coins you found. Was that over the course of a year, single month or on one particular hunt that you got most of that.

Sure is a nice haul amigo!
As to the Eureka meeting on Friday, looks like I'll be out of town. Pipster is fixing to go to Texas to visit kinfolk and I aim to tag along. I expect there are tons of great stuff I might find in Texas, and I hope to collect up my fair share.

Blessings,

Watch Football, shovel snow, read the v3i manual, wax, and rewax detector, digging tools, wax pinpointer, made a digging tool...and read this forum for a wealth of info! Soon will be ordering veggie seeds and Think Spring!

It was actually 7 hours in two different days as the ColoKid and I were in Nebr. and didn't find the spot and get permission until late on the first day so only got a short time on the first day in and the next day we detected the old campsite/recreation site used since before WWII by everyone in that part of the state including the Boy Scouts. Can't wait until spring to go back. Have a great Texas trip. :grin:

Thanks for the good words, coinnut. thumbsup01

Howdy Amigo!
Well sir, whether I go to Texas remains to be seen. Yesterday my leg (the one needing fixed) blew up like crazy. It must be twice the size of the other one now. I'll be seeing the doc on Thursday afternoon, and get some idea what's up with that.

Meanwhile, whenever you do go back to that site in Nebraska, I'd surely love to tag along if you can accomodate another hunter with you. Sorry, don't mean to presume upon your good nature, but I love to travel and hunt different locations. Thought I might as well let you know I'd be interested and all.

Regardless, you had a pretty great hunt while you were there.

Blessings,

Seems to be their time for a late night snack....or would that be an early breakfast... either way it can definately raise the hair up on the back of your neck when they are running game.... :shocked04:
