Is it difficult on the people and animals to have fluctuations like that.

Not so much on the animals except for the Chinooks. A Chinook can raise the temp from -20°F to +20°F in an hour.

It can be difficult for people who don't wear layers to adjust from freezing to baking. Fifty degree temperature swings are not uncommon.

My birthday was on Monday, I made a nice classic chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherry filling.

That looks WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Well, I got some bad news. My shotgun barrel is now close to breaking and I can’t waterfowl hunt until I get a new one.

That is bad news. But being resourceful as you are, I suspect it will be remedied quickly.

I might put the chocolate cake recipe on here; it is absolutely the best cake recipe I've ever come across!

This is my favorite frosting for this cake; I just bake the cake in a sheet pan because the frosting is very soft and does not sit well on a layer cake:

My baking today was some sweet potatoes! I am cautiously optomistic; the small one I had was pretty tasty, though not as sweet as I was expecting.

I think they might not have had a long enough cure time, but I did the best I could. October in Michigan - 85 degrees - 85% humidity. Not really an easy combo to make!
