WF, you'll get a kick out of this....
The Maintenance Master Chief at that Squadron met me at the quarterdeck (coincidence) introduced himself (ironic, because "we've met") and got up on a soapbox roundly chastising me that it is unsafe to ride in this weather, berating me as if I'm one of his troops, wagging his index finger without dropping his coffee cup.... Then he goes on to tell how he got caught in the rain returning from Daytona, but kept on riding though it. I ended the conversation by saying, "well, I don't ride in the snow" (then I carried out the Plan of the Day).
Looking out for the "Troops" is the biggest part of the job no matter who's troops they may be and us MMCPO's do tend to be opinionated SOB's!!

It's on the + side today, at least for the moment. I'll try again to plow out the barn and let some sunshine in, until Sidecar Bob's weather catches up with me

It reminds me of the one where a kid found a bulletproof vest. He gets his buddy to help him 'test' it. He puts on the vest and gets the buddy to shoot him with a 9MM pistol from about 3 feet away. It did not turn out very well. He did survive . . .

Went out for groceries after the sun came out. My leg was dry so the leak is fixed. It was -3c when I left and -5 when I got home and it felt colder than it did at -15 a couple of weeks ago.
