      thanks pard! I have not heard the expression "misery whip" .. but I can see where it came from :-) The weekend was all work - we did have a lot of downtime visiting around the fire... cups in hand.

      we did eat well after all that work.. we could have used your "strong back" at this event pard. :-) or perhaps you are now retired from these duties.

    Would’ve loved to come and see. But sadly for me, I’m already in Minnesota having to say goodbye to grandma. She passed and tomorrow we hold the service. At least I can see Fort Snelling now…

      I can see by your comments the world lost a great person. Hazzza for your grandmother and whos lives she touched.

    Do you find that the extra flap of fabric on the greatcoat makes a difference?

      For cold weather it does add another layer; if you are more stationary (like on guard duty for several hours) it helps. In cold weather, I'll use it when sleeping to pull over my head. thanks pard for the comment!
