Finished this up today over coffee and some quiet. It’s approaching noon here, time to take up the fight again.

Chicago Metro area has hit wind chill warning weather. But on the bright side the sun is hanging in the sky a little longer each day. Spring is right around the corner. Stay woolly until then.
