Mike,

Ya' makin' me want a fireplace out here in the Peaceshack. Hard to type with gloves on with the finger tips cut off. Was probably in the low twenties out here last night. Not in the shop but outside. I'm in southeast Louisiana and we have had below freezing nights for about a week now. Coupla' more to go and then in the sixties during the days. Thank Gawd. Don't remember a week this cold in all my just over fifty years. Brutal for us.

Al Gore's global warmin' is kickin' my azz!

Gonna' assemble a rifle tonight. Hope my finger tips don't stick to the metal.

Death to brutal cold,

Lancebear
