Jock,

It's that time of year again. About -5dF again today, I dressed for two hours exposure but ended up being out there for four hours.

Once I got in and mostly warm, I mixed up a short glass of Fox's blood, 1 part cognac with two parts port, 6 tablespoons total.

It was just enough to get my arthritic knuckles unlocked so I could type a note of thanks...

Wishing you and yours all the best this holiday season.
