From the land of the Bluenose....we got out! Drive to the spot was uneventful and the day then was actually quite nice. Ducks were enjoying it so why not Navy Davy and I!

ND and I had to leave quite a few good targets in the ground as in certain places the ground was concrete reminding us that the season is near the end. Monday by the way is suppose to go up to plus 10 cel!

Anyway both of us were getting worn out ground pounding.....no not the UFC type but the real McCoy. Then it got colder and the white stuff came. Think Navy Davy's expression says it all me son!

Anyway the ride home on the 103 was something else. Saw the aftermath of two accidents due to black ice on the road and not once but twice we went for a spin even at a drastically reduced speed. Would have taken a few photos of the wrecked cars but ND didn't want his trucks rear end being a hood ornament for some one elses ride! Hats off to Navy Davy and his driving skill. Of course this was all the excuse I needed to stop at the smart shop and git some Crown Royal to go with my leftover bottles of Guinness!

Navy Davy managed 43 coins and is within 30 coins of reaching last years total! Way to go me son!

your a brave soul Les to be out in that weather , your button looks to be a British Royal Navy one that dates from around 1807 - 1825 . a great military piece and they usually clean up very well because of the heavy gold gilt .congrats .
