Very very nice.
I tried to go out yesterday at 39* and after 20 minutes I had to quit because my fingers were freezing. At least I tried.

Thanks guys. Donut, it was 35 when I started and 48 degrees when I stopped. Chipped several zinc pennies out of frozen ground and from under cow pies Who does that?

Well I wish I could do that but at my age it’s not happening except looking out the window and drinking a lot of coffee till the spring. So for those that are fortunate enough to be able to go please think of us that can’t and post your finds with explanation to keep us worm and something to read all winter. Happy swinging and digging.
