Hey Greg!

Today was fraught with disappointment. Picked up my Christmas present that came in early, but there was literally a line out the door for the firing range. And it was -1 degrees! So I don't get to play with my new toy. It was like that time I got a Schwinn Stingray for Christmas. Damn thing just sat in the basement for 4 months!

So ok......that was the only thing that went wrong. We stocked up on liquor and Cheryl has chili on the stove in preparation for the Badger game tonight. I split some wood for a fire. The one good thing about sub zero temps is anyone can look like a he-man splitting wood.

Been there on the toys, Bob. I've received bike stuff or golf stuff when there's been 2 feet of snow.

Yup. Always appreciated but still...


And fact is it's just a busy week historically. EVERYONE wants to try out their new toys. Especially on a coldass day when you can't do anything else. Next week things will be back to normal.

Cute kid Greg - awesome pic.
