LS is prolly still in food coma from all that leftover Thanksgiving feast he had!

We bought out snow bibs years ago when we used to have snowmobiles. We sold the snowmobiles a while ago but kept all the gears since they were bought and paid for. It would be too expensive to buy again new sets if/when we can afford to have snowmobiles again.

I don't light those long johns, too tight and too warm. lol

MH, have you checked Walmart? I know they have some lined jeans. Might have to order from Walmart.com

@Mini Horses. Have you tried the silk long johns ? They are so warm and extreamly lite weight.... i even had the top on this morning here in Florida. It is the damp cold, but no snow ...thank goodness !

@Mini Horses. Have you tried the silk long johns ?

Have several pairs. They are light and fit like pantyhose, kinda. I often have to stand by a lot of cooler/freezer bunkers at demos. Those silk ones lay well under dress pants/shirts that we must wear. No jackets allowed! They are warm and snuggly. For some long underwear can be too warm. Just wait until you get older! Much colder now than before. You just don't generate the heat in your extremities you once did. OK, skinny leg/arms.

Sorry to report that the knee was uncooperative yesterday and both hands and wrists as well as the knee decided they needed today off. Beginning to seriously consider "selling out" and buying a motor home or pull trailer and becoming a "snow bird" that wanders the country following nice weather/seasons.

Dont do that. Just give yourself a few days of me time and rest. You might just feel better with a couple days of me time.

It isn't time to give up! BUT -- no doubt that constant swollen, stiff, painful joints would be a real downer, causing such considerations. Gout, I've been told by other than you, is a real problem since it apparently just rears its ugly head quickly and hangs around for a while. No doubt you have read up on things that can "help" -- maybe you have even tried some, beyond meds. Can your Dr give you that "old" RX you once said helped you more? They say 90% if gout sufferers are men.

With gout, uric acid levels are high, then create crystals and pain. You may be low on certain enzymes that destroy uric acid. Probably your Dr has suggested less meat and more veggies (except a few & your beloved mushrooms!), less sweets, etc. Not a fun diet. OH, lots of cherries & strawberries (or pure juice of) as these all reduce the uric. Dang, I guess I need to drive down and do your shopping & cooking! A controlled test.

Most often dietary considerations, including herbals quite often, do not work as fast as meds but, generally do work and generally long term. Some foods aggravate your condition. Plus adequate SLEEP is much more important the older we get, so I find.

Before you sell and drive, TRY a month of strict dietary selections. What have you got to lose?
Maybe you have & it didn't work But I don't think Mel and Elf are wanting to ride for far or long.

That's my soapbox for now. Where's @Devonviolet when I need back up???
