35°C at night in Minnesota, Nick you really do get a taste of all the seasons there.

And you have Bill's Gun Shop as well :)

Its my other sons turn to go to the U.S this time for business next month and he's going to Orange County in California (other son can't believe he got Minnesota :) ) and he's already booked into a gun range in Orange County :)

Jim, you should have him come up here to Bishop if he wants to spend time on a gun range. I spent the whole day down there last Wednesday, and had it all to myself!   ;c)

Haha this old house holds the heat very well upstairs in the summer. I make it up to her in the winter when I keep the heat set to about 60F  ;)  All winter long when she's hiding under the blanket I tell her to think about how hot it it is up there in the summer :D :D

Hope he has as much fun at that range as your other son did at Bill's!

From the videos I seen, Jim's son had a ton of fun at Bill's Gun Shop!  8) 8)

Orange County is nothing that I'd wish on anybody!

He's shown me some YT vids of it, it looks ok, but doesn't have the same impact I don't think that Bills has ( I still cant get over the photos that Tom took of the guns on the walls at Bills) !!

Its a shame they can't ever go together, but there needs to be one of them to stay behind in Oz to run things.

California is actually 80% unbelievably wonderful geographically, no place like it in the whole world really ..... but the politics of the big cities causes it to stink really badly!!!
