my truck is so happy on 55-60 degree days

[berettafan]

So many wonderful things about fall. Birds to be shot, fishing heats up in the Chesapeake, beautiful colors everywhere, and my truck (as have my prior vehicles) just runs so darn strong in this weather.

assuming I'm not just imagining things (and I really don't think I am----ive noticed this phenomenon for years) I guess this is a function of air density.

whatever the reason I wish I could get it to run so happy all year.

my favorite time of year as well.

arrows to be flung. figs have ripened on the trees..Persimmons starting to turn orange on the trees..with the leaves going brown.

my truck? runs like a top all four seasons.

you get a fuel additive change this time of year up there?

to add: i had forgotten how hard a 55mph flying dove is to hit!!

Vash you should've seen the pile of shells my son and I made to bring 11 dove to hand on the opener!

truck runs well all the time but I've noticed several vehicles I've owned do particularly well this time of year. stronger, smoother.

hahhaha..me too!! in my defense i was shooting a fixed choked barrel Citori that i borrowed from my mom's gun safe.

i was way better the second day..but it was still pretty embarrassing.

I think I was overly tight on the opener. Went with a mod choke based on clays outings and almost certainly would've been better served with IC.

I've been going tighter and tighter at the clays course and really enjoying how the all or nothing results help with feedback. but for unpredictable bird flight it seems I've got to loosen up a bit. ducks are SOOOOO much easier to hit!

October, by far, is my favorite month.....cool crisp air with the smells of nature in the air. Football season, good food in a dutch oven over campfires, the first burn in our woodstove (you can't get that kind of warmth from a furnace, or space heater). We live on a farm that has many sugar maples, that are spectacular in the fall, and when the wind blows, the leaves scatter to neighboring fields, so no raking for the last 25 years.

Finally, I can get some needed repairs, projects done without sweating like a pig in humid 90+ weather.

We will probably burn our big brushpile out in the back field while also shooting at our 100 yard range, and doing some skeet as well.

sounds awesome.

you tap those trees? are they the ones that give us maple syrup?

[ckelly78z]

Haven't tapped the maple trees, the sap starts running in February, and requires alot of prep work beforehand, and much intensive work afterwards with a sugar shack, and some dedicated help.

It will be interesting to see how/when the leaves change this year, yesterday was the 100th day over 80 degrees this season, with 35 of those being above 90 degrees with much humidity. We have 80+ degree temps forecast into next week.....usually 65-70 this time of year.

Turbo cars, really love the fall weather , as does my turbo diesel truck. This is the time of year when it all comes together .
I started to split and stack wood over the weekend. Nothing like the smell of a pile of fresh split oak.
