    Given the choice, I'd take the above over 80*+ anyday, although 12+ hours of daylight would be fine with me too. :rofl: :lol:

    I'm not quite done with summer yet, but I'll put it this way: If someone were to offer me a day trip in the FHC corporate helicopter, to be dropped off at high altitudes on some ice sheet in a mountain pass, I think I'd go :)

    We took our nephew up north last weekend. On Saturday, one of the many things we did was take a gondola ride to the summit of the mountain where my wife and I ski. Definitely got us thinking winter!
