Seals had nothing to report. Johnson had nothing to report. Walsh noted he was in Lutsen over the weekend and decided not to ski with a -37 wind chill on Saturday. They went out to lunch and he made the mistake of leaving his keys in his car which has a little chip in it and is a push button start. Because it was frozen, it would not recognize that his keys were even in the car so he had to blow them in his hands for five minutes before it would finally recognize to start the car. He said it was nice to be away from the house and they enjoyed it. Walsh stated he left his bifocals in the car when it was -20, he got in, put his arm on it, and the plastic exploded all over the car. He went in today to get some new bifocals as it has been five years, and the woman said Walsh needs to get a new prescription, and unless he has a current prescription they cannot make new glasses for him. He said he has never heard that before. Because it was so cold out, the doctor had availability and was able to give him the eye test and all kinds of drops. He walked out in to the sunlight and just about fell on the ground because his eyes were dilated. Crosby shared the previous weekend his daughter and her boyfriend were coming over for dinner. He was hanging out in the garage smoking his pipe and he received a call that Mandy was locked outside the house and it was -10 degrees. He went over and noted that people should hide a spare key someplace where one can get at it because in the winter when it is that cold there is not a lot of time. Johnson noted it has been a great winter. Crosby agreed. Walsh said while skiing they were still required to have a mask on while riding the chair lift, but one could use a gator as a facemask.
