It's a Good Winter

So rarely do we get a good winter in Maryland.  Couple weeks below freezing and rarely getting into the 20s sometimes?  Oh yeah.

I had to take my truck in for service just after sunrise.  No brakes (that was fun!).  Driving is no biggee, it's the walk back from the service station.  Cold enough I get ice crystal in my beard.  Teens. Not quite cold enough to get ice crystals in my nosehairs.  It's a bit over a mile back?  Invigorating.  Love it.  Oh yes, I was glad to get inside, I'm not stupid.  Wouldn't want to go all day out there, no sir.

Practicing for my retirement to the Cleveland area.  Lakefront, of course.

We so rarely need layers in Maryland.  Glad I found the long johns.

Bring your own NFL team - ours is broken...

East side winters are snowier than West Side: see snowbelt map. If you're on the West Side I'll buy you a beer at my American Legion Post. If you're on the East get hold of HMS Defiant....

Well, this is this team in Baltimore I don't like much, being more of a DC person. Wonder how they would do in Cleveland...

I was skiing in it 2 weeks ago and had lots of ice in my beard, but it was good skiing so I put up with it.
