Headed back down south for our 12th Anniversary. Hard to believe that little lady has put up with me that long. There should be some type of award. The weather didn't always cooperate, and I didn't get much blade time in, but we still had a good time none the less.
The lane going up. Very little snow. Sunny, and pretty out, although it was around freezing:

Next to the niner for size comparison:

Cold out, so it took a bit to get to the blue flame:
Evening approached, and it was time to break out the Buffalo Trace whiskey my step son got me for Christmas. Also, note the cool whiskey glass gifted to me by the one and only @Ethan Becker
Has a hollowed out section in the glass to accommodate a cigar:
Fits my favorite cigar, the Isla Del Sol like it was made for it:
"New" blade next to the 62:
