Wish that I felt hearty enough to join you, 88'. When you mentioned Mosin earlier, my heart trembled...... but when I retrieved a package outside, and that 17 mph wind cut through me, I lost my resolve.
Glad that you pressed ahead, and warmed up some barrels !
I ended up leaving the Mosin at home this trip. I kind of regret that decision now though. That old rifle loves to play in the snow
