Almost Target Shootin' Weather

Yesterday, the outside temperature in Jamestown and Gallup, New Mexico areas reached around 75°. That was nice to enjoy. 

After getting the Jeep into Gallup to the mechanic's for some power and starting issues, I relaxed on my deck with ice tea or Alien Amber Ale. Then, I did some mini bike riding around the subdivision.

The warmer temperature heralds the impending return of outdoor target shooting weather. Unfortunately, it is not quite here yet as we have a Red Flag Warning for high winds. Once the winds taper down, we can then head to the shooting area next our subdivision to do some shooting. It is a bit hard to set up targets in high winds, to put it mildly. 

According to the National Weather Service, today's weather is as follows:

Today

Sunny, with a high near 71. Windy, with a southwest wind 15 to 25 mph increasing to 25 to 35 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph.

Tonight

Mostly clear, with a low around 38. Windy, with a southwest wind 25 to 35 mph decreasing to 10 to 20 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph.
