    << <i>Warmer weather is a real plus also! >>

    68 degrees when I started out on that last outing (the one that produced the '13 T2 Buff and the 2-in-1-hole Wheatie hit). It was in the midseventies later that afternoon. This is our prime outdoor season in the Deep South. I can gloat and taunt all the poor frozen Yankees right now, but come July and August, I'll be the one moaning and staying indoors, while they gloat.

    Now, go to bed. It must be way late, um, early out there.

    Heck, I don't think the inside of my freezer is that cold. It'll be down in the 50's tonight - have to crank up the central heat I guess image

    Nearly 3 AM. But can't go to bed... I'm at work, on the graveyard shift.

    Think I'll go outside and poison myself with my filthy nicotine habit now... in my short sleeves. Nyah nyah. image

    (Actually, it's a little crisp at the moment... 48°F)

    Better you than me. Suck one down for me - I'm turning in. Nighty-nite.

    BBE, since you're the new owner of one of my used metal detectors, I must tell you to get your terminology straight. I believe "divot" is a golf term. In detecting, that's a plug. image

    And yes, I replace my plugs. Have you taken that Garrett out at all yet?

    That's an extremely good post! The way you prefaced the booty with pics of the houses was great. Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice read. I particularly enjoyed hearing about the 22-Pl weak reverse!

    You "plugs" are kind of small compared to my "divots" image

    Nope, been nursing a virus. Barely even want to show up at the office, and haven't been to the gym all week.

    Nice photography BTW. Hope to see more soon.

    Huh, I wish. The first of that pair of Wheaties to come out of the double-Wheatie hole was just a 1923, I'm afraid. If it were a '22 Plain (or even a regular '22-D), I'd have been turning cartwheels.
