    Nice Pic. Here in Nebraska we are sharing your cold snap. Dressed smart such as you are most people would be surprised at how warm they really are. I know in my kilts I feel much warmer than in jeans (short of my knees as you said.) Looking good!

    You look all toasty warm. Did you ever leave the deck?

    Nice photo. Careful, with that much wool on, you're liable to overheat.

    Ha! It was 10* degrees outside when I got up today, so the airmass obviously came East.

    You do look great and cozy. I wonder, though, if allowing the knees to be exposed in that kind of weather isn't just asking for (or aggravating, for us old codgers) arthritis down the road.

    Btw, where did you get the hose and toppers?
