Have you ever seen a snake's foot?
Snakes don't have feet. That's why!

I may need to shop for snake shoes now!?!

Day 25

The Green Bay Packers are definitely associated with cold weather. It's getting cold enough here in Virginia that I can start wearing this on game days.

Carhartt always gets the ol' :tu: from me.

Absolutely! You could probably use it for cooking, too (though I doubt you'd want to do so in the summer months). I wish I had a wood stove or a fireplace. At least my boilers don't allow the apartment to get below 72 degrees.

Day 25

Here is my Spartan with the best cold-weather gloves I've yet found. It should come as no surprise that they're Carhartt.

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

Day 25

Getting cold at night where I live, and this is my typical dog walk cold weather gear. The red looks nice against the black, in my opinion.

Powernoodle Day 26


One of my favorite lubes.  Made for aircraft, the solvent portion evaporates leaving behind a waxy protective layer.

Day 25 mini-challenge:

A simple knitted cap and gloves are sufficient for 90% of the “winter” in Houston. I’ve gone to Christmas Eve service in 80 F weather before, although admittedly it has also snowed in Houston on Christmas Eve in my lifetime.

Absolutely! You could probably use it for cooking, too

Your comment inspired me to try it! And it worked pretty well.

Those remind me of the glove liners I had from my time in Uncle Sam's employment 😁.
